TM2 Dinobot Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 So I was feeling low and decided to dip into my storage of sealed Minimates that I keep for a rainy day. Interesting idea, does any one else do this? No matter. So I open up my Chicago and Boston blanks. First thing I notice is that Boston is a little funny colored in some spots, like he has 2 types of plastic. No matter. Moving onto Chicago, one of his arms won't move. Why won't it... OH NO! It's 2 left arms! So, yeah, now I have a freak of nature. This is the 4th MM I've had this happen to. the first 2 were Cylons, but fortunately there were 2 that each had 2 of the opposing arm, so that got swapped out nice and clean. 3rd was BD Wonder Woman with 2 rights and now Chicago with 2 lefts. Does any one have 2 right arms on either a Chicago or a FCBD? Anyways, how many arms have you had be the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 1) Yep, I tend to have a couple of sets around waiting to opened on those days I need a pick-me-up. 2) Out of the many, many 'Mates I've bought, I've only had one 'Mate with two left arms -- ironically it was Dr Octopus.

maxcarnage Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I also keep my mates sealed for a rainy day. Since I live in the desert and it never rains I still have BSG wave 3, DCD wave 5 and 6, the marvel avengers, and Star trek still in their boxes. I got a Logan (wave 3) with 2 right arms and a lady death strike with two left hands. I was able to return lady d to my LCS and they gave me a new, free of charge!

Shanester Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I think if you collect minimates, you are sure to get one with two of the same arm. Its happened to me many times, but I usually resolve it with trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I must be lucky then. Out of all the Minimates I've opened, only one has had the wrong arm. And I forced it to bend the "right" way before I realized it was the wrong arm. I have gotten several Minimates with bum legs, though. My Emma Frost came with a right leg that wouldn't bend, and my Stargirl had a broken knee joint when I took her out of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
