Do you carry a minimate on you?

[maxcarnage]

Today it is the new green goblin, yesterday it was Dare devil. I have about 6 extra mates that I pall around with (not at the same time). 3 of which are spiderman, after losing my wave 2 spiderman i re-placed him with the box set one. Then just recently I found wave 2 again! it was like getting a new one for free!

Whenever I get a new set, I take them with me wherever I go for about a week. That generally gets me well acquainted enough with them and I just love swapping random parts to see what happens when I have some idle time.

Recently, I've gotten into the habit of carrying a LEGO figure with me when I have Minimates just in case. If there's any confusion, I can just show them the difference right then and there.

I carry a Series 2 Spider-Man in the front pocket of my backpack, pulling him out at work as a "keep the hands busy while thinking/talking" aid, his pant is a little chipped on some of te pointed edges on his torso block.

I love these things, but I don't, have never even considered, and never will carry them around in my pocket when I go out into the world. In fact, I would never have thought that anyone would actually do such a strange thing. . .

Regarding the second question, my only explanation of distinguishing a Minimate from other toys came up in a GI Joe forum a while back, where I ardently defended Minimates being referred to off-handedly as a "stupid kiddie toy," lumped together with the Superhero Squad figures. . .I guess because the Joe figures are so sophisticated and mature in their nature.

I used to way back when I started collecting them. In fact that's how I wrangled my girlfriend. I told her about minimates and had to use the LEGO comparison. I gave her a four pack of minimates and some of my extras. I even refrenced myself to Mr. Fantastic and gave her the minimate. She stil has them all displayed.

Even though im young, and im saying 11, i dont carry one around, i just play with them

I keep the Two Face custom that MINI MYTE made for me for winning the Concept Art Contest in my car. It's getting pretty scratched, dinged, and chipped.

But it's so sex.

The Wizard world White Blank rides in my little mini-pocket...On occasion, he does cartwheels along random surfaces.

And I explained to my mother the difference between Legos and Minimates...She got a little bummed when she found out Lego vehicles don't really work with mates. Legos were her favorite thing to build with me as a kid, and she still likes em'. I think she was plotting to purchase some Lego stuff to lure me into spending some time with her.

not necessarily relevant, but I felt liek sharing.

Nope. I do have a LEGO Dracula keychain that goes everywhere with me though. Does that count?

I never carry a minimate with me anywhere! Do you think your Majesty is a weirdo or something? Wait................................what is ironman doing in my pocket...........

Rusting?

[omendreamer]

I keep my Wonder Woman minimate in my pocket when I'm venturing out to do something stressful-like a test or interview. Her awesomeness is reassuring.

[King MiniMate]

Well what do you know? He IS rusting.........he looks like zombie ironman now

to all you mini-phobes out there, it's time to come out of the closet!

[super spider piggy]

Wherever i go, i almost always bring the Target Ghost Rider and Yellow Wizard World Tour 2005.

[NNY]

i have to admit i carry one on me most of the time, just so i have something to vaguely amuse me when im bored.

its often a spidey, which one depends on my mood, so if its Movie Blacksuit spidey i guess it means im a lil' moody , but willing to break into elaborate dance sequences. :biggrin:

[wtf this isn't Sparta]

I have Torment Spidey and a villain with me at all times.

I find myself explaining that they aren't Legos over and over. But people have started calling them Legos anyway, just to annoy me.

[OrionEXL]

Yeah I usually take Iron man to work with me just so when im bored I can have blasting Stacks of paper or Something. Before I left to work the other day my mom asked if I had my "Doll" with me and I was like wtf? so I went in to a long lecture(Podium and all) about how they are not Dolls OR Lego's.
