minimates

[Uberjam]

ohhh ok so that's what kubricks are... they do look like legos hehehe ;D

[dzone23]

funny thing with kubricks is that when they release chase figures, they release it secretly. so there are certain rare figures that nobody knows of.

for macross fans a series called i men have teeny lego like versions of the pilots and bots as well

[dzone23]

i've seen the imen figs, quality not as nice. not as well proportioned like the other mini figs.

a set of 5 (2 pack, one battloid and one pilot) cost 1800 in one of the stores in shopsville near GT.

series 2 which features characters in the later robotech series now on sale at 100 per 2 pack. (not familiar with these characters).

i've also bought these mario brothers mini figs made by yujin. Malvin is selling one of the series, series 5 i think. Looks cute.

"lots of choices in minifigs, so you need to focus unless you have bottomless pockets"

[dzone23]

didn't want to start a new thread on this but since it's somewhat related, might as well do it here.

"have no idea how this affects DCs minimate/C3 line"

[dzone23]

Here are pics of my LOTR mini-mates. The LOTR figs are actually bigger than normal minimates, note the size of frodo/gollum, that is the size of normal minimates.





















Those are series 1 and 2.

These are the Toys R Us exclusive packs. It's basically the same except for one set having blue twilight frodo and the other having different face for gollum.
