karamazov80 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I don't have any Spirit Minimate news, but I did see these: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail Might the Spirit Minimates includes these characters? I would surely not mind having a Samuel L. Jackson pimp-Mate or a leather-clad spy-chick, who isn't too far from some iterations of Black Widow. . . http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/t...x-SECWAR004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fo Shizzle Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 "Even better news is that this is your chance to have an Eva Mendes Minimate! How great is that? Now you can recreate scenes from 2 Fast 2 Furious or Training Day Minimates style!" I like how they are trying to make this seem like a huge anouncement......If they would have released the Ghost Rider Mates we would have had her already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickle Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search....pirit+minimates Finally some concept art. Box set and Previews exclusive 2-pack? What? no wave? Edited September 15, 2008 by pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search....pirit+minimates Finally some concept art. Box set and Previews exclusive 2-pack? What? no wave? This is probably the best way to go. A little at a time. If these do well, they could do another box set and 2-pack. Sometimes a whole wave isn't needed(i.e Ghost Rider, Spiderman 3-two waves, ughhh!!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infallible Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I agree that box sets are the way to go for the movies. We don't need full on waves for most of them. Plus, I think this is more retail-friendly for things that are more quickly in and out of the public eye like movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I was waaay down on this set, but knowing it is a boxset and not a full / ongoing wave, helps alot. Hell I might even get one. The concept art is promising.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I've never even heard of the Spirit except for a giant stand up ad in the IMAX theater where I saw The Dark Knight. But the concept art does look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Can't wiat! aw some Spirit comics in my Comic Shop before i learned about the movie, and looked at him like a combo of Batman and Bond: Detective skills+mask, ladies! The two-pack sounds interesting; i'm hooked even though i don't know what it'll be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I feel much better about these than I do about the movie. I'm so worried that the movie is going to be crap. I would much rather have seen something with Darwin Cooke involved rather than "Frank Miller's Sin City 2" concept. Plus, and don't get me wrong here, I love Samuel L Jackson but nobody has ever seen The Octopus's face. It was never even revealed in any of the comic strips or books. Ever.

jjwspider Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 WOW! I'm really surprised and didn't see this one coming at all. Now if we can get the Doctor Who mates as well, I'm going to be one happy (and broke) collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I don't know much about the Spirit but I think the Sin City-style format will really suit the Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Don't know much about the spirit but that mate is nice. Really liking the tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks for posting that link Turtle I like that they've made his tie 3d and not just painted it on, he's a good representation to me. I'm curious to see how Sam Jackson's will look as his outfit is quite OTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Not too shabby. I mean I don't really know the Spirit, but I hear good things. Of Course this is the Frank Miller version and not the Comic Version. Overall a good "custom" minimate I can see a matrix custom body (minus the tie). hat and hair Indiana Jones head, for a winter soldier custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minijeff Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 These are listed in the issue of previews(along with the sdcc box sets!) that hits this week. If you check out Diamonds Toychest page there is a small pic of the 2-pack on there. http://toychest.diamondcomics.com/public/d...=10%2F28%2F2008 Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern Returns Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Can we hope that the previews exclusive two pack might be the Will Eisner Spirit? That would be great to have him in his classic blues with all those minimate extras. Nevermind...after seeing Jeff's link I guess it is more Frank Miller Spirit. I remember at the SDCC panel that there was some hope for comic book accurate Spirit minimates.
