du5tin Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 How long do you see this toy line going? What type of lifespan do you see? There are so many characters and variations. Is it a safe hobby to get into now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 How long do you see this toy line going? What type of lifespan do you see? There are so many characters and variations. Is it a safe hobby to get into now? Now is about the best time to get into it, the future is looking Bright there are more waves being released this year than than the last 2-3 together. I think that the increase in production is a sign that AA/DST are really pushing to make minimates hit the bigtime and want to become a big name brand like Lego or playmobil. T.

Shanester Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Minimates have grown slowly over the last 4 years, but I think they are now a breakout toy/collectible that will not go away anytime soon. I envision many more licenses birthed in minimate form and the promotional opportunities with these fun figures is unlimited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Seems like an odd question to me. Why wouldn't it be safe? Even if they never make that Aunt May* Minimate you desperately desire, can't you just enjoy the ones that are available? (*Or your desired charater of choice here. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Definitely stick with it. There many licenses that cover different types of fans. As the guys have said, it's definitely the year and it will be a break out toy collectible. Plus there are many past waves you can try to work on if you ever get bored or just plain need them.

maxcarnage Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If you had asked that question last year you would have gotten a totally different response. But as of now I think minimates are some of the best toys out there. Check out this review: http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_022307a.htm Also hit up http://minimatescentral.com/ and http://www.minimateheadquarters.com/ to see what is out there.
