karamazov80 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Pretty sure that this was confirmed as canceled on the Art Asylum Q&A Edited October 15, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7EVIN Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 WOW! I had no idea...... REALLY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 WOW! I had no idea...... REALLY? Really. The AA Q & A confirmed that there has been little interest - though that isn't the first time we've heard that.... DST Matt or Chuck hinted that it was seriously in jeopardy in on the the MMMV Q&A's. I'm really kinda disappointed myself - these really had some great characters and potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) I really wanted a 2 inch Mr. T and the Hulkster myself. We'll probably never get any wrestling-Mates Edited October 15, 2008 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It just has to be said ,irreverent or not, if Chuck & Matt ( Pontius & Pilate ) had to decide whether we would be getting a Jesus or a (B.A.) Barabus Minimate they'd still try & sell us a Madonna Minimate.

Dude Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 This could have been the best of the Rocky's ... *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It just has to be said ,irreverent or not, if Chuck & Matt ( Pontius & Pilate ) had to decide whether we would be getting a Jesus or a (B.A.) Barabus Minimate they'd still try & sell us a Madonna Minimate. In the words of God "Nuff said" I actually think it was more a case of them saying to retailers/wholesalers 'we are making these please place preorders' and people ordered Madonna minimates but not Rocky... Yeah I know.. strange but true! T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 A Mr. T/Hulk Hogan pack would, I wager, sell very well. Maybe they can still use those molds at some point with something like that, and throw out the fairly unnecessary Rocky and Apollo. The apparent success of the Madonna and Back to the Future 'Mates suggest that 80s nostalgia works toward selling Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 This was the first Rocky set I was really interested in getting so that is a bummer, I didn't know it was cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Customizer Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Were there any championship belts in past rocky minimate sets? I was looking forward to using the belts in this pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) tha A-TEAM! :mrt: I'm pretty sure that I remember Hogan guest starring on an episode of the A-Team. . .so they could do a 2-pack of that episode with existing molds, and if it sold well, do Face, Murdoch, Hannibal, etc. Come to think of it, though, you use Chef Duff's hat with painted hair on the side of the head for Murdoch (w/emo Spidey jacket), and the others could be simple repaints with existing hair pieces and other existing accessories. . .there is no reason not to do A-Team DST!

Lobsterman Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm mostly bummed about the Uncle Sam top hat in the two pack they showed. What is it with DST canceling the hats I need for customs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I understand from Stuckakid that this set has been cancelled. But I wonder if ToysRUs will pick it up? Certainly an unexpected item on their pre-order list. I wonder if enough of us pre-order from TRU ... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3181198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if enough of us pre-order from TRU ... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3181198 Don't even get me started on f'ing TRU!! I'm still waiting for my second refund for a supposed "Best-Lock Battlestar Galactica 1000 pc. set" that never even existed from those twats(didn't stop them from taking my money twice). While I'd love to believe it, I wouldn't hold yer breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwspider Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Interesting that TRU has this listed. Given that they were the only place I ever saw the Speed Racer mates (that I should have picked up when they were clearanced for $2), I wonder if this just became an exclusive instead of being canned. Hmm....may have to watch this link and see what happens. After all, who doesn't want a Mr. T and Hollywood Hogan mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
