Jad Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 No problem, skull buster. You opened it. Uh, no, it's still sealed in the baggie. Maybe it's the angle of the pic? It's so cool in the custom package, I wouldn't want to open it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so cool in the custom package, I wouldn't want to open it! Yours seems to have a slot in the top of the baggie where the custom label was put. In mine and some of the others, that label is stapled to the top of the bag (it looks like yours was initially stapled, and had the staples pulled out).

Jad Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yeah, it is odd. The label has holes from two staples, though the staples aren't there. There are basically two sealed plastic bags joined along one (heat-sealed?) seam - one big bag holding Bats, and a smaller one holding the label.

The staple holes are what led me to believe you opened it . It isn't a crime to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 He didn't open it... I did! A long story short is that some of these mates were damaged in transit to the USA and Shane asked me if I could 'fix em up' so that he wouldn't be short and people wouldn't miss out. The original bags were damaged in the process so I improvised. Think of them as a packaging variant! T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrection Bob Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Mine came in the mail yesterday. I was completely unspoiled, so opening the envelope was a nice surprise. Here he is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm an opener myself, so I'm probably going to liberate my Santa Skrull and carefully save the baggie it came in as a keepsake (that is, IF it gets here ). I'm still bloody excited to get mine, and I'm sure little Skrully wouldn't mind being displayed with the rest of my Minimate legion... that is, not unless Wolverine and Hawkeye get any funny ideas and start beating the poor guy senseless...

ZArox Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 , not unless Wolverine and Hawkeye get any funny ideas and start beating the poor guy senseless... Fat chance he'll survive that encounter! I'll probably open it up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow, just, WOW! Thanks LE and Shane and everyone on here for making this sight so flipping amazing that we attract amazing retailers like Limited Edition who want to MAKE minimates just for us. Here is my new favorite skrull ... He is still the packaging for now but I have a feeling he is going to find his way out. I am an opener because I don't ever plan on getting rid of them.

Heatwave316 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Mine came in the mail on Friday!!! It totally rocks, thanks so much!!! It goes in my favorite mini-mates along with Mr. T, and anacost's custom of Red Sonja. I'll post a picture after x-mas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jad Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 No complaints from me about getting a 'packaging variant'! It seems the original version has the card stapled onto a standard 2" x 3" Bagette brand bead bag - I'm sure a lot of us use these for storing our loose mates. I'm willing to bet that anyone who wanted to open theirs could use a staple remover to carefully pry open the staples, then just open the bag and slide the mate out. Resealing it ought to be a snap. If you could do this, in fact, you'd also be able to swap the skrull head with any other mate body. There's no way to open and reseal my version, that I can think of.

There's no way to open and reseal my version, that I can think of. Well if you think hard enough .....you would perhaps do it the same clever way as TBT did ! But then again .......

Dan Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 As my photo shows, I opened mine. I didn't even take a pic of him in the packaging. The packaging was nice and all, just I'm an opener and wanted him on my BSG bridge display shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Skull buster, this all started when Shane started up this thread right here on December 2. .................... In conclusion, if you don't use "View New Posts", you are worse than Hitler. Mock is a bit of a harsh word . I know you'd never do it!
