Ivan Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 ¡C3 en Español! Mini-Javelin Alternate Superman Mini-Flyer The Riddler Mini-Flyer The Flash Mini-Flyer Now I knew about the various English/French Marvel Minimate packs, but this is the first I've seen in Spanish for any Minimate license. My guess is that most of the C3 sets are available in this style of packaging(*) but the seller chose to resell these because they will likely turn the most profit. Does anybody else have any information on these? I try to keep up to date on this type of stuff, but I know a lot of you guys have better sources than I do. My searches for 'mininave' only came up with a few Yahoo Hong Kong auctions that were a couple years old. I've also learned it's much harder to identify porn links when they are not in your native language. My three years of high school Spanish apparently didn't give me the proper skills for filtering the boobies. (*)Although I have no evidence.

Amazing.JL Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Nice find Ivan. Although the seller is from Spain the wording doesn't look Spanish to me. I'm kinda interested in getting these now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 That's the first of the foreign packaging I've seen. I probably wouldn't collect it though - I'd go broke and nuts. Prototype packages - that's where the $$ is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT! Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Urgh and this is why I beat my inner completist down with a stick and dont collect packaging variants :| Good luck finding these guys. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 and this is why I beat my inner completist down with a stick and dont collect packaging variants :| I murdered my inner completist the second a Gold Spider-Man was announced. I just need one of each distinctive separate figure that actually has meaning to the waves. I can do without Gray Hulk packaged with Spider-Man, Gray Hulk packaged with Rhino, Wolverine and Cyclops in English, Wolverine and Cyclops in French. I take them all out of the box anyway, as they're more fun to play with than to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I found a little more info on these variations with the help of my in-depth knowledge of the second largest European toy company, Italian based Giochi Preziosi. (That's what the text in the green circular logo reads.) It looks like most of the two packs have these Spanish variants and were distributed overseas. These images are all from this Spanish-language, toy-review/pop-culture website article from January 5, 2007. Scroll down past the Star Wars Lego to see and read about the Minimates. For those of you not able to read Spanish, I took the liberty of running the text through Google's translator. Here it is in all it's questionably accurate glory. Giochi Preziosi is able to make and the worse thing best. These miniones of Super Heroes are to date, packs more hallucinating than I have seen of the Italian mark. Style is small sets I bequeath where you can mount and recreate a scene of some event in the life of your super favorite heroes, as long as your super favorite heroes are of the Justice League. It gives me equal if it has name of disease of sexual transmission, Giochi Preziosi has been able to mount boxes of a beastly quality by very poquito money (hardly 14 euros). In addition each Seth comes with “mini-kills”. A figure style I bequeath of each Super Hero and some of its enemies to complete. The dolls have the height of click of playmobil but with more points of joint than a bucket of rubik. The impressive thing is the varied thing of mini-you kill them. In pack of above Batman Street Justice comes, with that suit rarote that used when it went in moto and the not-so-famous Man-Bat made little figure I bequeath. As they would say in French, tremendous. Tremendous indeed! I can live with the disease of sexual transmission (which one, I wonder), but mounting beastly boxes goes a little far in my mind (only 14 Euros!) And with all this bequeathing going on, my mind's all a twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I can speak/read/write spanish so I just translated it to what I believe to be accurate. "Giochi Preziosi is capable of doing the best or the worst. These mini-sets of Super Heroes are up to date, the most fascinating sets that I have seen from the Italian brand. These are small Lego style sets where you can mount(build) and recreate a scene in the life of your favorite super heroes, always and when your favorite super heroes are from the Justice League. It's the same to me if it the has name of sexually transmitted disease, Giochi Preziosi has managed to mount a few boxes of a best quality for little money (scarcely 14 euros). Also every set comes with a "mini-mate". A Lego style mini-figure of every super hero and one of his enemies to complete the set. The dolls(action figures) have the height to that of a click of a playmobil dog but with more points of articulation than that of a rubix cube. The impressive thing is the variety of minimates. On the pack above, Batman Street Justice is in a weird suit that comes when riding the motorcycle and the not too famous Man-Bat made in Lego style. As they would say in French, tré-mendo."

Cappy Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 LOL. Babelfish translations can sure be fun. Thanks, JL, for taking the time to make things a wee bit clearer (I'm just a click short of a Playmobil to understanding their marketing strategy...)
