Lurch77 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Let's start this up again So we're going to do a little Q&A with Nelson Asencio and learn a little bit of history about minimates. Nelson was formerly Art Asylum's Senior Art Director for eight years! He was part of the original core group up until September 2005 and oversaw all creative from 2-d, sculpts, paintmasters and also worked with the graphic department etc. He was the lead designer on all Batman products (C3, Batman Begins). He also worked in comics many years ago, you may remember some of his work on Shi comcis. He now runs his own company called Storybox Ink. Check out more of his artwork on his MySpace page. So let's get those questions together, again we'll stick to 3 max per person to give everyone a chance (we need more, so you can ask more). Nothing disrespectfull or the like; the staff reserves the right to remove questions as they see fit. Other than that it's wide open. Need some ideas: * Rock, Kiss, Bruce Lee, CTHD, Trek, Marvel, LOTR, C3, Street Fighter Minimates * Marvel Statues & Busts * Eminem, CTHD figures * Shi Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 What were your inspirations in creating the minimate body? Was the articulation the same throughout the design process, or did it change? What licenses were tossed around as ideas for possible minimate lines initially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Were there any alternative names to Minimates considered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Is there a particular license you wanted to do in minimate form but couldn't get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Nelson for answering our questions. How is it working for AA? Who had the idea to change minimates from a 3" body to a 2"? While working on a line of minimates, can you tell us the involvement of what DST and AA do? Specifically what does each one do independently as part of design? Out of you favorite minimate designs, which one was your favorite? What new and interesting project are you working on? Edited with more questions.

Danny Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Why did you decide to create a new style of block figure? Was the articulation particularly crucial to the whole concept? What did you think of the concept of C3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
