Trekker 42 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 who you calling nerd I think even posting on this forum qualifies us as nerds. Nerd pride-quick everyone make the "live long and prosper" sign with their fingers! It's the nerd version of the black power salute (amongst my nerd herd anyways). Speak for yourself... Nerd herd... *Tut* Send her off to the Nunnery now to stop the corruption of the poor wee soul! Although if any proof of nerd status is needed, go check out the 'Do you carry a minimate with you at all times' thread *shudders* T. Hey, that's my thread, and now I have Baltar on me... NERD AND PROUD! GET TIMBO! AFTER THE SKRULL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Not sure about these. Like others, I'm not sold on the strength of the license or how appropriate it is. I think of 'mates as a toy. Maybe this is DST's attempt to make these an adult collectible? Also, MiniFiend UK put it very well regarding the hair/heads on these. Different isn't always good..... Although, that Buffalo Bill mate could make a good Captain Stottlemeyer custom for a Monk set.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have always thought of minimates as collectibles more than toys. This license seems just as appropriate as "24" or For A Few Dollars More to me. I can't imagine any 8 year olds jumping up and down with excitement for "24" minimates.

hyejinx1984 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Really and truly, I think I'm gona pass. And ironically enough, these may be the first non-super hero minimates I pick up, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav-man Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I know this is a youtube video and theres a place for them, but seeing as how its from a movie that these mates are based on, I thought I'd post this here...check it out its pretty entertaining! If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize! Edited May 23, 2008 by mav-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
