hyejinx1984 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I was a pretty hardcore Marvel-Mate collector for a while, but now I'm starting to fall for the DC Mates as well. Specifically, I like all the cool minimates that came with the C3 sets, stuff that hasn't been released in the regular waves... such as Martion Manhunter, Jon Stuart, Man-Bat, etc... not to mention all those cool different versions of batman (love the "pilot batman). ANY-way... I really don't care about the playsets themselves, I graduated from Legos a while ago... is there anyway to pick up all of the Mini Mates that came with the playsets and flyers without having to buy the whole thing? Does AA have any plans for releasing these as some box set? I WANT I WANT I WANT! P.S. If anyone has a clear pic of the Man-Bat minimate could you post it for me pleeeeease?

Amazing.JL Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 C3 (The Batman/JLU) was licensed to Play Along and the line is now dead and not coming back. I seriously doubt it's coming back in any sort of way. Your best bet to get them is ebay/on-line or possibly the wants/have lists. Man-Bat can be found at this link below. http://www.minimatescentral.com/BatCycle.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It has long been my belief that C3 will be the most collectable of all 'mates. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I agree the gaping hole in my collection is Flash, Martian Manhunter, and tactical Batman. I even searched for these when they were in the stores and still couldn't get what I wanted! I had to get my Superman minflyer on ebay. These are going to go down, I think, as the hardest to find regular release minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyejinx1984 Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I actually had the Joker/Batman chemical factory play set, the Batmobile, and the Superman Throne Room... gave them away to a family because at the time I "wouldn't want to collect this stuff anymore"... .. .. ..

featofstrength Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I was lucky enough to find a c3 Batcopter at Wizard World Chicago last year for $20...guess the dealer didnt know what he had on his hands there cuz he had 2 of em. It was a shock to find that holy grail i had given up hope for. I hope all the other c3 completists out there find the same luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 .... These are going to go down, I think, as the hardest to find regular release minimates. i agree, even the more common sets are becoming increasingly harder to find. i have a few sets/figures on my want/have list for anyone interested ( plug,plug :biggrin: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I got my riddler, nightwing, and man-bat, but I never saw justice lord superman. AND while I do have the flash and manhunter(my friend gave me his), I passed over extra javelins and manbats so many times. I should slap myself.

Tad Ghostal Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I got my riddler, nightwing, and man-bat, but I never saw justice lord superman. AND while I do have the flash and manhunter(my friend gave me his), I passed over extra javelins and manbats so many times. I should slap myself. Speaking of slapping ones' self, does anybody have any suggestions onm how to get my mitts on a Catwoman? I passed SO many of these back in the day, waiting for it to go on sale (and for some reason, when it did, I STILL passed) but now that I am so very hardcore with the minimates, it dawned on me the other day that I still don't have one! Are these lingering on any shelves anywhere still, or is ebay the best bet at this point? Any online retailers still stocking this set (or single?) Anyone got an extra?

Dan Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Did you check ebay? Some good prices on there. http://cgi.ebay.com/C3-STEALTH-BATMAN-CATW...VQQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omendreamer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I managed to grab loose Riddler, Nightwing, and the two Joker figures, but have nearly given up on finding a Martian Manhunter. At least we will be getting a Flash/Gorilla Grodd set in wave 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Work 4 Mates Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 When I first started collecting, I told myself I was not going to get the c3 sets. Now I have all expet the two hardest to get, the copter, and the javelin. My advice is get all of them, because you will regret passing them up later.

omendreamer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 My advice is get all of them, because you will regret passing them up later. Yeah, I'm going broke using this reasoning. I keep thinking: "But I'm going to get it eventually anyway, and it will cost more and be harder to find if I wait." When it comes to books and minimates, I have no perspective. (Or at least, none that doesn't result in me getting whatever I wanted to in the first place). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Martian Manhunter is practically a sure thing for a later DCD minis wave. I wouldn't be surprised if Man-Bat doesn't show up soon as well. If you can wait, it'll save you some money. The C3 stuff was fun, but hit the shelves with problems and the whole line was not well promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omendreamer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Martian Manhunter is practically a sure thing for a later DCD minis wave. I hope so. I'm trying for a more or less complete JLA lineup (at least all of the original members), and I've got all of the founding members except for J'onn J'onzz.

karamazov80 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I actually can't believe they have gone this long without him. He's got to be coming in the next line or two that they announce. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 That's the thing, even with appearances on JL/JLU Martian Manhunter doesn't have the main stream pull, yet the DCD MM seem to be all about catering to the fans more than the mainstream. Even skipping those B-listers who had C3 mates seems off given some of the obscure choices in the DCD line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Here's a reasonably priced Bat-glider. Don't know about the merchant so buy at your own risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omendreamer Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The Minimates Shop on ebay stores has a fairly good selection of loose C3 minimates if you just want the figures and not the sets. Some new ones just went up in the last few days but they are selling like hotcakes-I already snatched up the Cassie version of Batgirl from the C3 miniflyers series!
