Ninja Mate Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 look nice. probably wont get them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 They look nice, but is there seriously no better place for the "Officially Licensed Product" sticker than right in the middle of the packaging? The Nathan Hale figures will make some great generic soldiers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'll be picking up the Ratchet & Clank and the Resistance ones for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Probably pick up Ratchet & Clank.. they both look a little strange, yet I can't look away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Does anyone else look at the Advanced Hybrid and see some... ahem... alien lady parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twomonsters Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Since my favorite video game of all time is Uncharted 2 I am so psyched about getting a Nathan Drake Minimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Does anyone else look at Clank or Daxter and see ... ahem... DST stealing Boyd's idea for ducklegs*? ____ * I know, it's a great expression and it gives the prefix 'duck' a nice and positive connotation minimatewise.

boyd Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Does anyone else look at Clank or Daxter and see ... ahem... DST stealing Boyd's idea for ducklegs*? ____ * I know, it's a great expression and it gives the prefix 'duck' a nice and positive connotation minimatewise. Y'know, there's been pictures of those available since last SDCC, and it's possible I might have been influenced by said photos when I made my duck legs. Possibly. I can't say anything else without ruining my reputation of being a customizing genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 The Uncharted set is pretty neat I guess (although I've never played Uncharted so I have no clue if it's good or bad at representing the characters), the rest do nothing for me. Unless they get the God Of War or Twisted Metal license (which since they've said licensing is confusing with Sony and will probably stop at one wave I don't think will be happening) I don't think it's possible for me to even muster up a 3rd of damn to give about this line.

SlushyFrog Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Does anyone else look at the Advanced Hybrid and see some... ahem... alien lady parts? Now that you've mentioned it... I can't not see it. Edited April 7, 2011 by SlushyFrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I really like the Clank Minimate. The Uncharted ones are nice but they should have picked a less serious face for Drake. He spends the whole game making jokes and is a very light hearted character. I am really digging these, too bad my TRU has seemingly stopped getting new Minimates in.

MINI_MYTE Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Did anyone else notice that Clank looks to come with a second head? It is obscured by the TRU sticker. Mind you it looks a littler smaller than the minimate Clank head, but the shape of the joystick antenna looks the same. Anybody (who's knowledgeable about the game) care to offer a guess as to what the mystery accessory behind the sticker is?

youbastards Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) It would be cool if it was a smaller, less articulated Clank that could be displayed in scale with Ratchet... That could be the same thing that is behind the TRU sticker on the Jak & Daxter pack too, but I'm guessing that is Jak's gun.

buttheadsmate Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 What on earth is that sticker achieving? Awful. Brainless f*ck up of the design of the package. I don't know anything about the stuff inside the package, I find it hard to relate to it but the weird-looking characters look interesting .

undeadpool Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) even though i dont have much use for them im excited to get them and it looks like they have some good accessories it looks like jak comes with some cool gun and hopefully he will have that awesome hover board to. Its cool that ratchet comes with his wrench and it seems theres some alternate head thing for clank. the resistance figures appearently come with 2 guns and some odd object next to hales hand. it seems the uncharted pack comes with a knife and a gun and the key thing drake gets, great game i cant wait for the figures EDIT: thats a mini clank for ratchets back!

MINI_MYTE Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Come to think of it, it looks like all four packs come with something hidden behind the TRU sticker. Maybe DST is trying to market these as "coming with a surprise bonus accessory". I dunno, just throwing it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 i actually dont mind the sticker if thats the case, i love extras especially when they already have awesome accessories to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 What on earth is that sticker achieving? Awful. Brainless f*ck up of the design of the package. I like stickers! But yeah, that sticker is very glaring. Reminds me of the glaringness of the Atlantean soldier packaging. But it's placement has to be mandated by Sony to put on the front, right? Otherwise, you'd think they would fit it in the back? I know Nintendo has the seal on all it's licensed products and Xbox probably does too. Seems to be a video game company branding thing to show authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethyr Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) I'm still of the opinion that Dax could of been shorter, especially when you look at Clank... unless his height was something Sony mandated. Hopefully some online vendor will scoop up some of these so non-US residents can purchase them. I do find it curious that the Comic Shop Locator & Diamond Select Toys logos are on the back of the packaging. I've not seen those on the packaging on other exclusive Toys R Us minimates. Edit: Meant to say Dax should have been shorter. Goes to show you shouldn't try posting/editing anything five minutes before you need to leave for work in the morning Edited April 9, 2011 by Aethyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxFactor Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 They could have a backpack version of Clank behind the sticker for Ratchet to wear. I do hope this line continues. I really want a Sly Cooper minimate now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a Sly Cooper minimate now. Not sure if Sly Cooper will happen. So far all of the Sony Minimates are from games that were produced by either Naughty Dog or Insomniac Games. Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon are more likely possibilities. Edited April 8, 2011 by minimadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I will get the resistance mates just for the military look. and alien. . gotta have ugly aliens. and BHM. coming to the states to visit just doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon are more likely possibilities. except they're not Sony characters, both were created by Universal Studios and although NaughtyDog made the first few Crash and Spyro games as PS1 exclusives the majority of the games were made by other studios for multi-platforms (and if wikipedia is to be believed, which about this sort of inane shit it usually is, the most recent Crash game's PS3 port didn't even come to be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
