TENIME_art Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That is pretty. It says the figures are only 1 2/3-inches, though, so I wonder how it would look with 'Mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Height-wise I think it'll be okay but 'mates will be much wider. They're so husky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I saw those mini-statues yesterday at Walmart. They looked boring, but the figs were $1 each or a 5-pack for $5. By the Batman picture. I think mates may be close to scale with the cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yeah, there's not much to these figurines so I wouldn't expect them to be much. They're not my cup of tea but if they bring affordable, Minimates-scaled playsets, I'm all for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a pic: Has anyone bought the Playmobil Ghostbusters stuff yet? TRU has a 20% deal today, but the more I look, the more I question the scale. I am thinking just the firehouse, but....

SCW Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Not my pics but, it's not a perfect fit. But it looks to be fudge worthy if you're so inclined. [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks! Were those online? I was hoping to see one with a mate inside the Firehouse. The exterior shot looks more promising than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yeah, it looks like the car is too big, but the firehouse should be perfect. If anything, it would be too small if you were concerned about exact human-to-building scale, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I haven't seen any pics of Mates in the interior. But I think you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Looking at the pictures of the Playmobil figures, the stairs are the height of their ankles, so a mate's knee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This is a bit of an odd idea I cam up with, but I was looking in a junk shop a while back and noticed a bunch of cabinets that were used to display tea spoons and thought that if these were hung upside down they might be suitable for minimates. I'm pretty pleased with the result (they could have been hung straighter lol) but the only one that sort of doesn't fit is 90's xavier in the chair.

funkguerilla Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 FYI, I was at Michaels the other day and found some fun stuff for some spooky setups. Check it out: Those tombstones are SUPER cheap at five bucks for a pack of five (Here's a link) and are perfect for midnight minimate strolls through the graveyard, like the forgotten Ghost Rider Alejandra Jones is enjoying. Also, less successfully, is the cool rod iron fence in the background that Doc Manhattan is hopping. The scale is a little too small for my tastes, but it totally works as Background or foreground fodder to make a setup really sing. There's a ton of other stuff too, but these are the ones that really got me excited. Oh, also also, that Alejandra is a kitbash of the Champions Black Widow, the OG Ghost Rider head, the shoulder guard from the Walgreens Green Goblin, and Curse of the Mutants Dracula's gauntlet. It's fun, you should make one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I bought some of those the NBX Minimates. I also found some cupcake holders that look like a spooky mansion. Sorry, no pix right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yup. In with all the stationery supplies. I think it was $9.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I bought similar items from the dollar tree to use as chain link fencing for Minimates. It looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
