tones Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Ah Yes, I retrieved it. Thank you Geohound I shall check these stud measurements with what i have here, in the mean time does anyone have pictures and can provide measurements for the smaller batmobile? EDIT: Having measured just the length alone, i can tell the large batmobile is way too big, even to add bricks in, it would be ridiculously out of scale, consider from my photos the baseboard i am using is 48 studs long by 48 studs wide, the large batmobile is 34 studs long according to Geohounds count, it would look ridiculous parked under the archway, even if i added another 2-3 bricks to the height, it just would look so out of scale. If someone could assist me here in the measurements for the smaller batmobile, this > http://www.minimatedatabase.com/pack.php?i=239&n=Mini+Batmobile I'd be most grateful, I need to establish if either Batmobile is going to work for me and the Batman and this batcave, if neither are suitable my alternative is to merge the two ideas into 1 vehicle of medium size possibly a full lego rebuild model specifically for this build. Many thanks Rich just dug out my small Batmobile. overall, it takes up a 20 x 9 stud area on a lego building plate (without the exhaust flame). height varies with the hinged wings, but with them straight up its 8 studs high, with them down it shortens the height to 6 studs and adds 10 studs to the total width. hope this helps, lmk if there's anything else you need. I've been following your Batcave rebuild and can't wait to see how it turns out. I just scored one on ebay, and you've inspired me to make some modifications myself :biggrin: .

Rheul Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I posted this over on the MVC3 thread but thought it might be better if I put it here. Its that stand that looks like a booger that comes with MVC3 Spidey. It works great with the Silver Surfers board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 My sons actually use the JL Watchtower more with their minimates than they use it for actual JL figures. Whole thing just works better with smaller figures... except the elevator. They just pretend it's the teleportation tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcarnage Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 while at Ross (dress for less) i found these transformers they came with little men that were about the same size as minimates so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMao Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Cool! That works pretty good. Never thought of trying that. Here's a pic that I posted in another thread of a MP scaled TF Roller that is pretty compatible with Minimates... Also, I can't vouch for the size of these, but I was wondering if anyone knew how these would scale with Minimates? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kotobukiya-MB35-258895-MSG-Diorama-Chain-Base-01-Desert-Scene-Set-/320779291409?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aafef8b11 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kotobukiya-MB36-258901-MSG-Diorama-Chain-Base-02-City-Street-Scene-Set-/330629604999?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cfb0f6687 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kotobukiya-MB37-258918-MSG-Diorama-Chain-Base-03-Lunar-Moon-Scene-Set-/330629605652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cfb0f6914 I think the moon crater and city street bases would look pretty sweet with Minimates. If they scaled right of course. Edited June 6, 2012 by MMao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So I want to say this now while I'm thinking about it, and can't find a better thread. Spidey needs a pack in one of these days that's a lamp post that he can hang a web line from. DST could do it as a 2 piece accessory without much trouble at all.

If they scaled right of course. Here's a review of the sets: http://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=34642 The Gundam Converge figures are apparently around 2 inches tall (supposedly 55mm) so they should offer the best comparison for minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe DST could work it so the Lamp part is removable & re-use the post again later with a Yancy Street sign in place of the lamp as a Thing accessory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If DC fans haven't picked up this Batsignal yet, they're missing out! This is a great little piece and totally affordable at $10. I got mine at my LCS through Diamond but it's also available through Amazon if you prefer. Check it out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 That's much cooler than trying to build one buying the movie masters! Thanx for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 And check out this video what DC Collectibles will "hopefully one day will make." At the 1:42 mark Geoff Johns shows a prototype of a light-up Oa Playset that looks a bit wee for the upcoming 3 3/4" line but seems perfect for Minimates. So nice to hear that DCC is willing to try new things. Maybe they can put a bug in WBCP's ear about licensing DC to DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I sent them an email regarding movies and minimates. Maybe they thought about it and they are teasing us with play sets? Nah,but it's fun to dream. Though they just announced the 3 3/4 line so maybe next year if thundercats does well,then maybe wb and dc will consider it again. PS1:They have tried every block figure style on the planet. Something tells me that they will return. PS2: I'm taking my speculation and I'm leaving now. Sorry to invade this thread with false hopes. PS3: That oa playset is pretty darn awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
