karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello, I am karamazov80, and I am a Minimates-aholic. It all began earlier this year, when the Blue Beetle and Booster Gold Minimates were released. That Blue Beetle is my absolute favorite comic character, so, I bought it, and thought nothing of it, except that I was glad to have him in figure form (his other DC Direct figure still eludes me, as I can't justify its outrageous price), and with his best buddy no less. Then, I got him home, and thought they were kind of cool, y'know, for little Lego-guys. Then I noticed something. You could take off their helmets, and they had faces underneath, and extra hair? And their accessories, they were removable. And they had all this articulation. . .and detail. . .I was hooked. And they were so small and awesome. This was what I always wanted in a toy, though I never knew it. So, I went back to the comics shop later in the week and bought some more. Then I bought more, and more, and more. And now, I have many, and am always getting more. So here I am, I accept what I can not change, that I am destined to spend my money on these things for as long as they are manufactured. Please help me. Tell me that I can be fixed. Please. . .please. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello, I am karamazov80, and I am a Minimates-aholic. It all began earlier this year..., ... Please help me. Tell me that I can be fixed. Please. . .please. . . Personally I don't see anything that needs fixing there, perfectly normal sane behaviour... Of course I've been a mate-aholic for nearly 3 years now and there are little signs of recovery... Welcome to the Forums, if we can't cure your soul then we can at least sooth your worries and that you are in good company. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sometimes, when I think of the money I have spent on these guys I wish I had never begun and gotten addicted, but then I see their smiling faces looking up at me and I can't stay mad at them. What can I say, I love the little things, and thats not gonna change for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always have been! despite living 'over here' on and off for a few years Sadly it's true though that my spelling is a beautiful hodgepodge of US & UK spelling depending on the cycles of the moon and which key my finger in nearest at the time.

omendreamer Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm sadly the same way - going into debt over mini figurines! Welcome to this group of fellow obsessives. BTW: What are those stands you are using on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallbreaker2.0 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You have gone past the point of fixing. On the bright side though who needs to be fixed when you've got minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 BTW: What are those stands you are using on them? Those are those poster mounting pads that you can find at Office Depot. They're very sturdy, and when you want to switch minimates around, they keep their stickiness pretty good. You just cut them into 4 pieces, and voila, minimate stands! They are pretty cheap, too. Of course, not as cheap as their elevated cardboard display. That was made from an old box, so it was free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omendreamer Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Oooo, thank you! I have a whole tape dispenser worth of 3M poster mounting tape, so even my minimate collection should be covered. I've been using museum putty, but it works better for holding damaged parts together (not as neat looking as superglue, but this way some poseability is preserved. Great idea, I'll have to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
