Danny Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just having a chat with Tim on MSN, and got around to an interesting discussion piece. What would make you give up the "collecting Minimates" hobby? Mine (as suggested by Timbo) was: AA making their Mini's boobless cos it offends outraged parents NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I quit! What would make YOU quit? Oh and I don't want any real doom and gloom here folks, keep it light and airy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 All minimates, even those of respected characters like Thor, Hulk, & Captain America...all are made into variations of Spiderman and/or Wolverine. Super-Soldier Spiderman, Incredible Spider-Hulk, The Mighty Asgardian Spiderman, Spider-Punisher, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 AA making their Mini's boobless Wash your mouth of such wretched language. I'll also go for Shanester's suggestion.

Rad Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 if they continually re-used parts and released variations of the same character over and over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 if they continually re-used parts and released variations of the same character over and over again! I believe you should receive a yellow card for this post for the same reasons Logan did... You're missing the point it should be light, flufy and silly, not an excuse to vent Guy's you're not using your imaginations here.... saying wolverine/spiderman variants or parts reuse is way too obvious and really not that funny T. p.s. l laughed outloud at the sm/pp reversed comment, now that was funny!

Jatta Pake Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I will quit if Minimates ever spontaneously self-animate and become sentient. Imagine the sheer terror of waking up in the middle of the night to find yourself bound Lillipution-style with shoelaces and electrical cords. Hundreds of screaming and toothpick bearing Minimates surround your captive body. Poking and taunting, poking and taunting, endless poking and taunting. Finally, a frothing Venom gets up on your chest and tells you he is going to crawl up your nostril and devour your brain. At that precise moment, I would quit collecting Minimates. Until then I will keep my Minimates snapped shut inside their purple plastic prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
