NorthRaider Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Holy carp! How did we not know about this sooner?! http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/article.asp?ai=91805 That photo is cruelly tiny, but wow! Oh yeah, it also says Wolfman Minimates are coming! Quote
BrobotC Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 that means: wolfman phantom of the opera frankenstien invisibleman dracula bride of frankenstien and what else is there? Quote
cdubya Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Looooove it; this is great news! I can't wait to see more. Quote
NorthRaider Posted February 13, 2010 Author Posted February 13, 2010 that means: wolfman phantom of the opera frankenstien invisibleman dracula bride of frankenstien and what else is there? Wikipedia also mentions the Mummy, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth, Ygor and Mr. Hyde (and Dr. Jekyll presumably). The canon list of Universal Monsters is pretty long though... there's always the chance that a few choice loopholes might get us Edgar Allan Poe and Abbott & Costello too Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Loving this news. I would be all over iconic horror minimates. I just hope to all hopes that this line dont get canned like Godfather or Beverly Hills Cop. Quote
Bob Harris Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 So, they finally desided to copy our Charitymates, right? Quote
Trekker 42 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 AH! AH HAHA!!! OMG OMG OMG!!! Black and white variations! YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!! Screw the regulars, I'm getting THOSE!!! WOLFMAN MINIMATES!!! HAHAHA! that means: wolfman phantom of the opera frankenstien invisibleman dracula bride of frankenstien and what else is there? Wikipedia also mentions the Mummy, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth, Ygor and Mr. Hyde (and Dr. Jekyll presumably). The canon list of Universal Monsters is pretty long though... there's always the chance that a few choice loopholes might get us Edgar Allan Poe and Abbott & Costello too My guess is that some of those will be simple TRU two-packs. Like the Metaluna Mutant and the mildly big headed alien guy. (I'd get these just for the purposes of MST3K the movie!) However the ones out of this list most likely to be produced (Other than the confirmed Wolfman) that I can think of are Dracula (a given), Frankenstein (see Dracula), The Mummy, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (by fame alone). Though i do hope The Invisible Man makes it in. I mean seriously, he'd be a great little minimate. Quote
groundhog7s Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 This is a license I've hoped they'd get for a long time. It all sounds like great news, except for the 'once a year' part. I suppose that does keep the market from getting over-saturated, but it doesn't seem like it's nearly enough to satisfy the fans. Quote
McDurg Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 HOLYSHITMYHEADJUSTEXPLODED ORGASMMMMMMMMMMMM! :woot: OH MY GOD! YES! YEEEES! CAPSLOCK EXPRESSES EXCITEMENT/BILLY MAYS! BEST.NEWS.EVER!!! Halloween 2010 needs to get here. NOW!!!!! Quote
Trekker 42 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 If this wasn't an annual series, I have to wonder how long it would last. Would it be like Ghostbusters which is seeming to be in its ending stages of life? Or would it have more Marvellian longevity? Hmm. It's a great conundrum isn't it? However it does give us a tiny werewolf. So... Yeah I'm good. I mostly want those black and white versions though. That makes me SO happy! Quote
MINI_MYTE Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 My guesses for the Wolfman 4-pack: Wolfman Larry Talbot with cane Gwen Conliffe Meleva or Bela the gypsy Quote
karamazov80 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Creature on the left looks like Abomination. Sadly, based on this little picture, I might actually like the Kubrick version more. Quote
Mystery Man Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) WOW! I can't seem them well enough to know if I'll like them, but I'm very excited about this prospect. The Creature from the Black Lagoon is my FAVORITE monster movie (other than Frankenstein 1931 and Godzilla vs Monster Zero). This made my day! Wouldja believe I just picked up my Creature Kubrick before sitting down at the computer and seeing this? AWESOME! I can only hope the two-pack will have Lucas in it, so we can re-create all his blustering about the man-fish in the Amazon! The only sad thing is that they're just going to be annually for Halloween. That's a whole year of wait time before the next 2 sets are released... a long time to get all those cool movies done. Edited February 13, 2010 by Mystery Man Quote
Turtle Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Minimate scuba gear! Creature and Wolfman and any others will be most welcome additions to the collection. Quote
Danny Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I'm surprised these are going over so well, the Universal Monsters stuff has never interested me. I think they are doing the right thing by making them a limited annual series. Quote
MINI_MYTE Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) Anybody care to speculate on the yellowish creature. Is he from one of the sequels? Cause other that "the Creature Walks Among Us", I'm not familiar with the gillman having a different look. EDIT:Just found this pic on the net... I'm guessing the yellowish version is Gill from "Revenge of the Creature". Edited February 13, 2010 by MINI_MYTE Quote
eclipse Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 this is going to be a awsome line,they will make such cool minimates!! Quote
super spider piggy Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Welp. im back to collecting MiniMates, baby! Quote
luke314pi Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Awesome choice for a license! Ever since the Silence of the Lambs set I have been hoping for more horror/suspense minimates. I hope Frankenstein is next, along with a Bride of Frankenstein in the set! Quote
handsomedevil Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Sounds cool, but I'll be hunting for the B&W versions myself! Quote
Trekker 42 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Awesome choice for a license! Ever since the Silence of the Lambs set I have been hoping for more horror/suspense minimates. I hope Frankenstein is next, along with a Bride of Frankenstein in the set! After Wolfman and Creature (I had to wonder why Creature was chosen. I get Wolfman but why Creature? Then I remembered that Creature is getting a remake.) I have to guess that Dracula and Frankenstein are after them. After those two I have to guess thatt The Mummy and (Hopefully) The Invisible Man. I wonder if, though he wasn't in the Universal Monsters originally, King Kong was included in this deal. After all, Universal owns him. It could happen. Quote

The canon list of Universal Monsters is pretty long though... there's always the chance that a few choice loopholes might get us Edgar Allan Poe and Abbott & Costello too When Medicom produced their kubrick versions some years ago they included Vamprella & Mole People . Just to clarify things FrankenstEIn was the Doctor ,FrankenstEIn's monster is the guy with stitches on his forehead. Medicom included Dr.FrankenstEIn & FrankenstEIn's Monster . The chase 'items' are a cute Lab Table (Dr.F's) & Dracula's coffin Now they'd be nice little extras. Quote
SErge Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Nice!!, really nice!, and i mean really really nice! bring on the Frankenstein, and the invisible man! Quote
TBT! Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 nice! seems like a fun license Of course part of me is worried that they are overmilking it with regular 4 packs, B/W 4 packs and two packs, that seems like a hell of a lot of minimates just for CftBL? T. Quote
