buttheadsmate Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The youtube stuff was excellent & I thoroughly enjoyed it although sometimes you had to guess the question after hearing the answers from Chuck. I think the links may also help some members understand what it's like to get promos at a Con.......if you're still unsure get some bread & throw it out for the ducks in your local pond* . Chuck seemed relaxed & very confident of the future of Minimates which, for me, was the most important thing to shine through the entire discussion. *Check with the Pond Warden first & NEVER use a mobile phone when throwing bread.......or Battle Beasts.

gambitron Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I obviously asked my question too soon since my e-mail from AFX this morning has the Battle Tactics set up for pre-order to ship out in 1-2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Did anyone that went get to ask chuck about the quality control on the friends and foes set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark knight Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just finished watching all six parts of the panel and it was more interesting than I was led to believe. Thanks for the link. This is the stuff that caught my attention. Part 1 - Looks like I need to work on my branding a bit. "Yeah, Minimate Database, is that the name of it?" Thanks to the audience member for the assist. - Loved Chuck's answer to the Jubilee question. "We've done a lot of 90s X-Men recently... and there are a few characters we haven't done... and it would be kind of smart of us to do them at some point. Part 2 - Didn't hear anything about pitching Ferris Bueller until now. I wonder if he's trying to drum up interest. - "You'll never see a certain actor who believes in a certain religion who does some kinda big movies and people used to like." I first thought he was referring to Mel Gibson, but Mel wasn't in Top Gun. I guess we'll never see the Rain Man two-pack. It's not really a likeness problem, it's just a non-starter as far as the studio is concerned. Too antsy. Part 3 - They've renewed the Marvel license 5 or 6 times with changes each time. - Chuck's wife doesn't care about "Lego Men." - They've looked at Amityville and Carrie. - "We got told at one point, don't mess with Winona Rider." Part 4 - Heat/rub transfer tech maybe patented, but they're looking into. - Can't afford to do Goonies Minimates by themselves. Would have to be part of library. - Brief mention of Dr. Who around 5:00 when talking about international licensing. Part 5 - Chuck is a benevolent dictator. - Ooh, a second mention of MMDB. Yes I do list accessories. :nod: Part 6 - No real plans for a gaming element with Minimates though some companies have asked. Proud to be a loyal servant to the benevolent dictator Chuck. All glory to Chuck. (and the Hypnotoad) You're welcome for the shout out! Your site is great and I visit it often. I always know when new stuff has hit for sure by seeing if you've added them to your list. I was also the one that pondered the reality of "Top Gun" minimates.
