I'd like some help please identifying these guys.......

[buttheadsmate]

After long negotiations with the seller & my psychiatrist I managed to score some Minimate prototypes . I haven't bought anything like this for years & I'm quite pleased with them but I'm struggling to figure out what some of the characters are !

Thank you Zach ....especially for Corpse Dad , that one was driving me nuts .  The fingers are as far as I can see genuine 'mate items but .....who knows ?!

Some are pretty obvious & my favourite is Hulkbuster of course !

Fantastic , thank you . There's a Splinter (pic 2 ,middle top) & a Shield Armour Spider (pic 1 ,top left) . 

[Shanester]

It was you...

I wanted that Hulkbuster but couldn't pull the trigger. I am glad one of us got them.

 

[DSTZach]

I knew they were MM fingers, I just had no idea why they were on Corpse Dad!

I'm grateful that you recognised it with or without the fingers ! Might it have been possible that (as they are prototypes) the Corpse Dad might have been initially designed with long fingers ?  In the movie 'he' had longish fingers ? Who knows ?

The Hulkbuster initially drew me in , I then discounted the whole idea of buying them .....then got sucked back in a week or two later . 

[DSTZach]

It's possible the original design had long fingers, and then the part was not available or something. I believe that has happened before, parts need to be substituted. 

[buttheadsmate]

Observations FYI :

The 'Agrir' proto has 2 'spikey' boots rather than the eventual production 'mate which has just one, which now seems strange ?

One of the 2 Man Thing's protos has a headpiece that has a separately moulded 'nose/brow ' part .

[Kotter Comics]

These are super cool. I know you shared for identification help, but I'm glad to have seen them!

Also, scrolling through the pictures I thought Hulkbuster was Juggernaut. LOL. I had to double back after reading the comments.

[buttheadsmate]

Thank you for all the help on these  

It's perhaps a sad indictment of me that I needed to ask !  There was a time when I would have known nigh on every Minimate instantly, not so much these days .

I also know full well that there is a fine line between showing stuff to fellow-fans without showing off   

Some weeks later I have now finished cataloguing these gems & my OCD has now led me up another avenue ....as it often does !  So now I'm hunting the finished articles & placing them alongside their prototypes which is strangely satisfying.

As an aside , I am not quite as up to speed as I once was on market prices so I was staggered .....yep, staggered......at Man-Thing Minimate prices on eBay ?!  Now that Minimate wasn't perfect * but that hasn't stopped it from becoming very desirable .  Who knew? 

* I would love to see another version of Man-Thing , more 'vegetation , tendrils' detail & more emphasis on the eyes . 

 

 

 

 

[elhonez]

Plus one! I'd like to see one with a standard sized head too. I'm not exactly sure why that bothered me, but it did.

[buttheadsmate]

 

What about this guy ?

[buttheadsmate]

Thank you  

I've recently been sorting through stuff that I haven't seen for years (or ever) & there it was amongst a batch of random 'mates from an ebay buy (?)  ! In essence I had never seen it before until yesterday .

I love it but sadly it just has the one wing
