NorthRaider Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Calico Jack Pirate Raiders? Awful fancy name... And also a real person. Wow, DST actually took the historical domain route for a Minimate. By the way the blurb is phrased, it certainly does make it out to look like the Pirates and MAX Minimates are a sure bet for the future. I only hope this translates to international distribution too. Hey, if mainstream stores here can carry Mega Bloks and Marvel Select, then why not more little block pirates? Also, I'm starting to get confused. Are MAX and Elite Heroes two completely different lines or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonpr Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Is MAX going to be giant sized minimates or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 MAX is an accromyn for Mobile Action X-Treme it's a DST owned and original property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Calico Jack ??? I just read the wiki link & his history was fascinating especially his links to Jack Sparrow & the alcoholic beverage of the same name. I confess that my first reaction was to compare his odd name with that of 'Brown-paper Bob' the famous cowboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 And also a real person. Wow, DST actually took the historical domain route for a Minimate. Wow, interesting. Thanks for the link, NR. I'm assuming that if Diamond feels confident enough to talk about their MAX & Calico Jack lines, then they have probably lined up a buyer for them. Perhaps TRU, with their new dedicated Minimates section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Calico Jack Pirate Raiders? Awful fancy name... And also a real person. Wow, DST actually took the historical domain route for a Minimate. I had no interest in these pirate mates until I read that wiki. NR I believe DST owes you a commission! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I confess that my first reaction was to compare his odd name with that of 'Brown-paper Bob' the famous cowboy. I heard he was a rustler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 So... lunch first, then panel, or hit a pub after the panel to discuss the announcements? Hit the panel until they finally come around to the idea of a Kang minimate and a Wrecking Crew boxset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) I can't make it there myself, what with inter-continental flights being priced so highly, but i do hope we'll see a whole bunch of Marvel announcements too and not just just the Pirates & MAX stuff. It'd be awesome to see designs and proto's for some Marvel Minimates that haven't already been announced.
