Tony Hawk Minimates?

[616commando]

Didn't want to necro an old thread, so...

In Tomart's Action Figure Digest issue #107 there's a picture of three Tony Hawk minimates. Anyone know the story on these? At which point did the line get scrapped? I'll try to scan a picture tomorrow, but they look like three inchers to me. At least they have the same elbow articulation as the Star Trek onesThe 'mates are featured in the Toy Fair '03 segment on page 47, if anyone else has a copy of this magazine.

They were 3 inches and I think the Tony HaWk bubble burst before they went into production. Here's a pic.

I did not realize they were 3 inchers. That makes me miss them less. I know 3 inch was the original size but I have always thought that they work better in the 2 inch scale.

Forgive the lack of imagination with the pictures but these guys do not pose too well!

Hope you like them though.

How did you manage to get those Rob?

I can't speak for BHM's score, but several of those prototypes/test shots/whathaveyou have appeared on eBay over the past few months, as well as unreleased 3" Star Trek characters, more of the unreleased Ozzy Osbourne characters, and some others.

As Sam indicated I hooked those from ebay a while back but I've only just received them (long story). They're the genuine article bearing in mind their source & very very delicate.
