Yeah, those are pretty cute little Sesame Street guys there Scott.  Any other sets to go along with them?  Don't want poor Ernie to be without his good "buddy" Bert now, do we...?   ;)  And where's Oscar?!

I won't tease you about them, as long as you promise to pick up the Star Wars ones first...   :-X

Delving off topic for just a moment for Scott here...  Well, I came across the Series 2 Sesame Street Kubrick collection today while perusing the Medicom site, but for the life of me, I can't find the damned picture again anywhere on their site!   >:(  I can tell you Scott that it did have Bert, Oscar, and that little pink girl with the braids.  Can't remember if that was it or not.  I'll keep looking for the picture though...  OK, finally found them at another site.  Here ya' go Scott, enjoy!

So Adam and Chris R., how much are you guys going to be willing to spend on the carded Luke and Boba Kubricks?  Just curious what my competition's going to be like out there...   ;)

Congrats Matt. That variant is a very nice score.  8)
The new pictures of the new Kubricks are Awesome. Greedo & the Tusken Raider look fantastic.

If anyone is interested in the new Kubrick Alien series 1 set, you can Pre-order them from HLJ. There are 24 in a box & the case is expensive.

Very glad to have you here from a far away place.  8)

Would you happen to know anything about the new Disney series 5 that is coming out. I am most interested in one of the figures. It looks like Bob from the Black Hole. 2nd figure from the right. Any information will be helpfull.

As for the Disney figure, from the Medicom website, the second from the right figure is listed as Old Bob from the Black Hole. I hope this helps.

I just checked the Medicom site.  8) Very interesting Kubricks in there. Being a space buff, I really liked the Cosmonaut with the Vostok ship.

I would love to see the Star Wars Kubrick vehicles & accessories sets. I have been collecting the Konami Gerry Anderson series on the vehicles. They are very detailed & are just Awesome. All prepainted & up to 3 inches long. Take a look at these.

Captain Scarlet

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Captain%20Scarlet.jpg)

Space 1999 eagle/Fireball XL-5

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Sid%20XL5%20Eagle.jpg)

Gerry Anderson SF Vehicle's

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Gerry%20anderson%20set.jpg)

Thunderbirds Vol 1

(http://ebay0.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_a7067a73b801dc786bb3f7029676ad10/i-4.JPG)

(http://ebay0.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_a7067a73b801dc786bb3f7029676ad10/i-5.JPG)

Now if the Star Wars ships were made like these, they would be a very hot ticket item.  ;)  Note: each set does have a chase figure.

Title: Kubricks...
Post by: Scott on June 20, 2003, 01:28 PM
All Kubricks line so far pretty much do have variants and chases...most are never worse than 1/96 though

Here are the Marvel Odds for instance

 SPIDER-MAN (5/24)
 WOLVERINE (4/24)
 SILVER SURFER(4/24)
 CYCLOPS (3/24)
 COLOSUS (3/24)
 IRON MAN (2/24)
 STORM (2/24)
 DR. DOOM (1/48)

Think of them as Sports Card packs in Action Figure form

I've got 10 vintage figs already, doncha know.  There can't be that many more, can there :P  Placed a couple of bids, lost out, maybe these are more attainable ;D

A home for wayward collectors?  Monthly rental paid in figures?  Hmm.

Hobby Link Japan has sold out of the Alien set cases.  :o

If they ever get anymore in, I have to jump on the order. They will cost a fortune on eBay.
Title: Kubricks...
Post by: JediMAC on June 27, 2003, 04:58 AM
Im wondering, does Medicom make any sort of generic figure stand to put your Kubrick figs on?

Yeah, I saw those cases that Scott's talking about at the Medicom site as well.  Unfortunately though, they just updated their whole site 2 days ago and now I can't find them anymore to slap a picture in here for ya' Adam...  But I don't think they had actual stands - just full cases if I recall correctly.  I'll see if I can dig them up tomorrow at work, where I've got a "little bit" quicker DSL line...

But while I'm here, here's Kubrick's new official picture of the Sesame Street Series 2 lineup for Scott (just in case he didn't see it over there)...
(http://www.medicomtoy.co.jp/0_upimages/2003_06/images/03-06k-10p01b.jpg)

WOHOOOOO! PANTONE KUBRICK FIGURES! YES!

Those single cases are pretty cool! I cant quite tell, do they have little pegs in the bottom?

And I dont know exactly what they are, but I want that chubby cheeked Hamster figure in that display case! :) The things some people collect. Geesh.... Next thing you know, people are going to start collecting miniature Star Wars characters.....

Post by: DSJ™ on June 27, 2003, 11:11 AM
From looking at the single cases, there does appear to be some kind of clear peg or 2 inside for them to stand on. If so, then these are the cases we need.  ;)

To futher my research, I come across more pic's of the Alien series.  8)

Yep, those are indeed the cases I was talking about Dale.  Nice find.  How much are they, and how much are those larger ones you found?  So is anyone going to go for some of these cases?  Any other good options out there?  Gonna have to start looking into this soon, as the collection continues to grow...

I for the life of me can't figure out who the hell the two characters on the right side are.  I think the blonde is Jennifer, but I don't recall her being blonde (or at least that blonde) and the guy is either George McFly (most likely) or Biff.  If its Biff, they really 'effed up his look.

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: MisterPL on August 21, 2003, 11:55 AM
Marvel Minimates are the only block figures I collect. I picked up the first series of Star Trek figures, but when I heard about the scale change from 3" to 2" for Marvel, I decided to stick with Marvel. (Trek looks dead in the water anyway.)

I keep hearing DC Minimates are in the works. Nothing's cast in stone, but if it happens, I hope like heck they're offered in the same scale as Marvel. These things are addictive.

Right now I have

Battle Damaged Spidey
Venom
Rhino
Wolverine
Logan
Cyclops
Storm
Sabertooth

Still missing
Variant Cyclops
Jean Grey
Variant Spiderman
Peter Parker
Carnage
Silver Surfur

I also ordered the Magneto/Prof X and Mary Jane/Peter Parker two packs from AFX

DC Minimates would be cool as well...I'm torn as to wether I will keep collecting Marvel Kubricks, they are pretty expensive comapred to minimates and not quite the same scale :-\  I like their quality a little more

Yes they are. When I first saw pics of them from the Cons this summer, I immediately thought of Sesame Street. Okay, the Hell's Kitchen part of Sesame Street, but if you don't bother with the realistic redeco, it would be perfect for Muppets.

Get thee to a Target. I read that particular set is on clearance for $14.

Go. NOW!

OK, I'll go hunting for it.  I know I can find one at the same place as the Carnage was at least.  

For clarification, do you have a Venom fig at all and just not the long tongue version?  Weird, I had no idea we had something unusual if that's the case.  

Your carnage should arrive next week.  I sure hope you open these, cuz it's coming loose in a padded envelope.

Daughter of the Cluemaster, Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler! Also known as Robin's former girlfriend!  

Found it looking around to figure out who it was. 3rd article down the front page titled "Kubrick Spoiler!".

Medicom Batman Kubrick S1 - Spolier (1:96) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3147531880&category=2480)

The stupid thing about those BOB Kubricks is that you can get sets of Disney 5 for like $30 which includes BOB
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: DSJ™ on October 4, 2003, 02:00 PM
I completely agree Scott. $30. & you have the set. Some people just don't do there research on stuff they want to buy. Maybe they just want the individual figure but they can be found for $15.

I'd rather pay the extra $15. & get the set!

DC Minimates (http://spacemegs.com/misterpl/DCMinimates01.jpg) are on the way!

No photography yet, but soon. Here's what figures.com (http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=101&show_article=138) had to say:

The license, awarded by Warner Bros., allows Art Asylum the right to produce mini figs based on DC characters such as the Martian Manhunter, The Joker, Flash, Batman, Robin, Superman, and Nightwing. Figures will be sold as part of build-it-yourself, construction-block type vehicles and playsets - not as solo or multi-packed figures.

The building block vehicles and playsets will be LEGO/ Mega Bloks/(Hasbro) Built-To-Rule compatible. Each 2" MiniMate (Marvel MiniMate size) will also feature feet which can lock onto the sets/blocks.

All Justice League sets and included MiniMates are based on the animated properties. With Batman, Art Asylum holds the mini license for Batman animated (past and new), comic (which will launch first), as well as the upcoming movie.

No photography yet, but soon. Here's what figures.com (http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=101&show_article=138) had to say:

The license, awarded by Warner Bros., allows Art Asylum the right to produce mini figs based on DC characters such as the Martian Manhunter, The Joker, Flash, Batman, Robin, Superman, and Nightwing. Figures will be sold as part of build-it-yourself, construction-block type vehicles and playsets - not as solo or multi-packed figures.

The building block vehicles and playsets will be LEGO/ Mega Bloks/(Hasbro) Built-To-Rule compatible. Each 2" MiniMate (Marvel MiniMate size) will also feature feet which can lock onto the sets/blocks.

All Justice League sets and included MiniMates are based on the animated properties. With Batman, Art Asylum holds the mini license for Batman animated (past and new), comic (which will launch first), as well as the upcoming movie.


My mini-world just had a baby boom!  ;D

Yeah even though I never was too much of a DC comic reader I anticipate picking these up, I can't help it

Hollywood Showcase is similar to Legends but smaller. Sorta like a comic book store without the comics!  ;)

I have a folder of images on hold for you, Matt. I'm STILL working on getting that damned Sandcrawler art scanned. It's not nearly as finished as the piece above, but it gives you an idea of what Hasbro could do with a Sandcrawler carrying case.

I'd promise to get it to you soon, but I've got a Disney meeting in LA Monday and then it's on to Atlanta for a Back-to-School show. Wish I had a laptop. It's gonna be a looonnng trip.

And I LOVE drawing toys.  ;D

There is 10 here.  The twins are exactly the same figure as far as I can tell. One chase is the  Keymaster and I can't remember who the old geezer is. Isn't he the Matrix? Or God or something?

Post by: Morgbug on November 25, 2003, 09:38 PM
Odd question for you American types.  Do your Marvel minimates come as singles or doubles?  i.e. one minimate per pack or are they two packs?

The reason I ask is thus.  All I had seen in Canada was two pack versions.  This is what the venom with tongue came in (with battle damaged spidey).  I checked tons of displays in lots of stores and never found hide nor hair of a chase figure.  Now today, at Safeway of all places, I see English only single packed figures.  $6.99 each :o but I would pay that for a Yellow DD, black Spiderman or the chase Elektra, but not the regs.  

Just wondering.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: jokabofe on November 25, 2003, 11:16 PM
even tho i don't collect these, i have seen them in 2 packs in my local comic shops as well as 6 packs that have 5 regular figures and a figure packed in black plastic. i'm guessing that's a chase figure. the two packs were $7 i want to say, and the 6 pack was $15. or maybe it was a 5 pack with 4 regular and the mystery figure, i don't recall. sorry...
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on November 25, 2003, 11:17 PM
yeah Brent I think they are all sold here as either 2 packs or 6 packs
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Morgbug on November 25, 2003, 11:42 PM
Thanks.

Never seen anything larger than a two pack.  These singles just struck me as strange.  The venom single comes without the tongue.  I actually thought I'd stumbled on a black spidey but for all the teeth :-\

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: MisterPL on November 26, 2003, 11:53 AM
Marvel Minimates are sold in the U.S. as 2-packs to the specialty market (comic shops, Suncoast video, et al) and 5-packs at TRU. The specialty market gets the chase figures packed one per case of 12. TRU got the 5-packs, with one figure concealed as the "hidden hero."

Single packs were developed for Target, but they passed on the first assortments. Since then, they're rumored to be back on the bandwagon. No telling how soon, though.

2-packs were also developed for Wal-Mart, but Wal-Mart U.S. also passed, while Wal-Mart Canada picked them up. These are different from the specialty market 2-packs in character teams. (They're more mass market friendly.)

Kay-Bee also showed interest in their own sets - a 3-pack IIRC - but that was dropped, too.

Currently the packaging is changing to this (http://action-figure.com/ImageBank+index-id-31204.html) for the 2-packs. It's no longer a blister, but it does make the figures look much more dynamic. I like it. (Except maybe for that "Spider-Man with Peter Head" text. Will they offer a "Robin with Dick Head" someday?)

Yes, I know.  There's one sitting in a drawer in my office waiting for me to come back, box it up and send it off.  No worries there.  

MisterPL, thanks for the update.  I had no idea how common the chase were.  I'm wondering if we didn't get the Canadian shaft again.  I've been around when sealed boxes were put out, no chase and about 36 of these go in a display. :(  Just as well, then I'd buy more stuff ::)

Very cool Bri!  I hadn't seen those before either, though I probably walked right by that poster at SDCC several times without noticing it.  Looks like there's still at least 5 more figures on tap for this line.

I don't follow the mini-mate stuff really, but I assume these are sold domestically here, right - unlike my beloved Kubricks?  Hmmm...  I don't collect any other lines, but I love LOTR and if this particular mini-mate line expands a bit more I just might start looking into it...   :-\

Hopefully not though!   :P
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on December 4, 2003, 02:52 PM
Right...they are sold in places such as Suncoast, Sam Goody, Tower etc  There has been talk of Wal Mart and Target picking up the Marvel line but it hasn't happened.

The one beef I have with MM is there are currently two scales...one is Kubrick like the Star Trek ones they did and the other is smaller like the Marvel (and hopefully upcoming DC ones) are...I guess I don't follow AA stuff as close as say MisterPL does...John any knowledge as to standardizing on a scale for all MiniMates?

Those figures look awesome, I'm a sucker :-*

I agree Matt, they do look kind of tempting to me too.  One of the reasons I haven't picked up more LOTR figures (only 2) than I have is because I don't have the space...especially for the 6" figures.  These little ones might be a little more tempting :P

That's the bad news: Unfortunately, Marvel Minimates set a precedent for the smaller 2" scale. It was a contractual sticking point with Marvel, so for AA it was 2" or nothing. The good news is that the DC Minimates will also be in the 2" scale. Of course THAT contract stipulates that the figures be sold as part of construction block sets (ala Lego), so in order to get Batman & Robin, you'll have to buy a Batmobile.

The LOTR Minimates are also in a unique scale. Hobbits and dwarfs will be 2" (Marvel), Uruk Hai and Elves will use the 3" bodies (Trek), but humans and wizards will utilize a new 2.5" body. Yes, they look great, but I'm only going for the comic book characters since they're all compatible.

Had AA been able to do ALL the lines in a common scale, Minimates would have been the second coming of Mego. (And owned the rest of my wallet.)

Oh well.

Are there any good display cases that can be used for Kubrick figs?

Official Medicom Display Boxes:
Pros: They're official, they have foot pegs, they interlock and stack
Cons: Kind of pricey, IG88 wont fit (?)

But on the negative side of everything else, beyond it not being "official", you'll be hard pressed to find something that also includes foot pegs.

Anyone know what other toys have the same size foot pegs as Kubrick figs?

I was really excited until I noticed no weapons ???  I don't want to harp on the negative but what gives.  I can see no weapons for most how about Neo and Trinity who went into that building and reinacted the finale of Scarface!

All in all, I think their cool, could have used an accessory or two.  Removable sunglasses for Neo or a motorcycle for trinity.

I agree with you FishEyedLouie.  No accessories was pretty lame for the Matrix series.  However, I will give them props for the character selection.  Other than Agent Smith and Seraph, they pretty much gave me everything I wanted.  If there is a second series I am really hoping for Smith and Seraph.

They're like little Megos! (But with a TON more variety!) I can see the appeal. I just wish they were Minimates.  :P

Title: Disney Store "Mega Minis?"
Post by: MisterPL on February 26, 2004, 01:38 PM
I just got back from The Disney Store and noticed they had a ridiculous sale on what looked like Disney Kubricks.

I'm guessing these themed boxed sets are an exclusive private label import 'cuz I didn't see any mention of a manufacturer on the package.

Anyway, they look like Medicom product to me, with a price that's hard to beat: $2.99 a set in stores; $3.99 online.

Aladdin (http://disney.store.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_id=14418&Product_Id=143181&Searchstr=Mega+Minis&Page=1)

You're right John.  Those do look very much like Kubricks.  They're not on the Medicom website, that I've ever seen though.  Interesting...  But at that price point, you sure can't go wrong!  But you didn't pick them up?  Don't want to stray down that road, huh?   ;)

(http://www.medicomtoy.co.jp/nl/n/bigp/np2.jpg)

I've always loved the Muppets, but I've fortunately had the will power to not delve into the regular figure line.  So hopefully I can maintain that will power with their respective Kubrick figures how - 'cause they sure look cool!  So I just have to keep repeating to myself...

I won't collect anything except Star Wars.

It's been hard enough to stay away from Palisades Muppets let alone Disney block figures. Had they been Minimates at that price, they'd be in my daughter's hands by now, especially at $3 a set. (And when she got tired of them, they'd be Daddy's custom fodder!  ;D)

Those Muppet Kubricks do look great.  It was tough to avoid the regular figure line for me as well, but if these weren't too hard to find/pick up...they would be tempting.  When do these start to get released (if anyone knows)...and are there any further details on the line?  I could really see a person getting into being an all-out Kubrick/Minimate collector.  I know I'd like to be able to pick up the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Muppets, and Batman lines.

Also, I know this is a stupid question...but I'm not very knowledgable on the mini-figs.  Are all the Kubrick figures overseas only (with minimates being the U.S. ones).  I was just curious, as to the availability of the lines (like LOTR, Muppets).  I know that Star Wars is always overseas (or buying them from online retailers).  Thanks!

.......had to add this after actually going back and reading through the Kubricks/Minimates thread here.  I see that DC minimates are going to be available now too?  I was wondering when/if these would be coming out.  Other than the Star Wars kubricks, I'm really tempted by the Lord of the Rings, Batman/Justice League, and maybe the Muppets mini-figures.  I was curious what these cost, or how tough they are to collect?  I know the Kubricks tend to be kind of tough (at least from what I have read here).  Thanks...again :).

You should check out Kubrickworld.com to get a lot of good information about Kubrick's.  There are also a good number of U.S. dealer's of Kubrick's.  There is a links and resources page at Kubrickworld.com and there are links for U.S. and overseas Kubrick retailers.  Kubrick's vary tremendously in their price.  A basic set of the Muppet's will probably be around $5.00 per figure.  I am very biased in the miniature figure collecting realm, as Kubrick's are the priority of my entire collection.  Minimates have plenty of articulation, but the quality cannot compare to Kubrick's.  I was very upset when I found out that LOTR minimates were being made.  I was really hoping for Kubrick's of them.  I do collect a few Mez-Itz, but that is only because they are character's I really like.  I think the quality of Mez-Itz is mediocre.  Hope this is of some help to you.  Also I have some Star Wars series 2 and Marvel series 2 Kubrick's for sale for very good prices if you are interested.

The DC Mini-mates will be sold with ships, cars etc, this was the only way they could get around certain licensing rights

There is a Batman Kubrick set which I've seen at places like Comic Shops as well as Suncoast...its similar to the ones that were released in Japan, 2 less figures

LordoftheRingsGuide.com has posted a couple of new minimate images from Art Asylum....Gollum and Uruk-Hai Swordsman.  You can check them out here:

New LOTR Mini-mates (http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=lotrnews2.setup&category=lotr&topic=3&show_article=201)

This line looks like it could be really cool.  I have always wanted to have a LOTR collection, and really like the Toy Biz figs...but maybe this would be a more "manageable" collection due to the size and my display space constraints :).  These are supposed to start showing up in April/May-ish right?  What figures have been confirmed for the first wave so far?

 :D Thanks for the info and linky Scott.  I've been lurking around those AA forums since you posted that.  The more I look through pictures of the Star Wars Kubricks, the LOTR minimates, as well as the DC and Marvel stuff, the more tempting it is to start collecting these little guys.  I could see where "mini-fig" collecting could become quite addicting though  :-\.  It sure wouldn't take up as much space though, would it?  Thanks again.

I just opened up a couple of Kubricks today, Kelloggs Series 1 (got a secret Tony) and my Daredevil and X2 Wolverine.  I'm bidding on some Monsters, Inc sets right now and will probably get the Rocky Sets.  I still need those two Back to the Future box sets too, and the two chase Fetts :-\

I also popped open my X-Men Mini-Mate boxset, those are some nice figures...

As OCB stated, they still have them.  That's where I got mine from.  They usually go for $10-15 a set on ebay, but since Tower has free shipping you really can't beat it.

I think I have gathered from reading everyone's previous posts, but how many waves of Marvel Minimates are out so far?  Is it just the first three waves (with the 4th starting to show up?)  This line has always interested me, and I thought about seeing what (if anything) was available at our closest TRU this weekend.  I was just curious how far behind I was, I don't know a whole lot about the line yet.  From what I gather, these are the releases so far?

Wave 1
Daredevil/Kingpin
Yellow DD/Elektra
Bruce Banner/Hulk
Elektra (Black) - Chase

Wave 2
Spider-man/Carnage
Damaged Spider-man/Venom
Green Goblin/Peter Parker-Spiderman
Spider-man (Black) - Chase
TRU Five Pack w/Rhino

Wave 3
Cyclops/Jean Grey
Wolverine/Sabretooth
Logan/Storm
Cyclops (No Visor) - Chase

Aside from various other store-exclusive chases, is this all that is out (with Wave 4 maybe showing up now?)  Thanks for any advice/info everyone.

I have the Cinema of Fear set, Army of Darkness set, the stealth and regular Predator set, both Alien sets, all three Hellboy sets, and I used to have the Monster and Austin Powers sets.  I got rid of the Monster set, because I got the Universal Monster Kubrick's.  I like them all though, Mez-Itz are my second favorite mini-figure next to Kubrick's.

Post by: Brian on April 12, 2004, 10:16 AM
Well, I took my first jump into "mini-fig" land this weekend.  We were shopping, and there was nothing new on the Star Wars pegs, so picked up a mini-mate set at TRU for around $8.  I bought the four-pack with Spider-Man, Venom, Green Goblin, and Damaged Spider-Man.  I should have never done this, because now I want to get more of these little guys.  They are very cool little figures, nicely articulated, and they score big points with me because they don't take up too much display space.  Plus, even though they could be cheaper, I don't mind paying around $2 a figure.  They had a couple of different types of packaged sets there...ones with plastic windows, and oens with solid boxes, with pictures on the front.  Are the solid boxed ones the newer releases (or how they release them now?).  The one I got was a solid box (they didn't have any Spidey ones in plastic window form, mainly just Daredevil sets.  Anyways, I hope this hasn't started another addiction, but I already want to go pick up an X-Men set next time we're there :).

Post by: Brian on April 12, 2004, 12:05 PM
Thanks for the link Scott....I've always thought that Giant Sized X-Men set looked pretty spiffy.  Once again, looks like I'm getting in late, so I'll have some catching up to do.  Not sure about chase figures, etc., if they are wicked expensive I'm not sure if I'll be going that route or not.  I was going to ask you guys too, is TRU going to continue to sell these?  The one nearest us had the "four packs" like the one I picked up, but I'm obviously still missing some from the Spider-Man set thus far (Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Carnage, as well as the Black Chase Spidey).  They also had packs of X-Men, Daredevil, and possibly Hulk if I remember right.  I didn't have a lot of time to look through them, we were kind of in a hurry, so I grabbed the Spidey set I wanted for now.  Anyways, I was just wondering if TRU (or other retail outlets) were going to continue carrying these...because I don't know if I'd have a lot of luck keeping up otherwise.  Thanks again for everything guys.....should have never started, I could see minifigs becoming quite addicting, with (in some cases) lower prices, and easier to display since their small.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Morgbug on April 12, 2004, 01:04 PM
The difficulty of the chase figures is what kept me out of this line.  Not that they seem overly expensive, though relative to Kubrick's they are a bargain.  We just never received any up here in Canada.  One day last fall/winter I drove down to Grand Forks and managed to both find and pass on black spiderman and the chase Elektra sitting on the shelf at a store that was closing in the Columbia mall.  So really, they should be relatively cheap.  

I'm trying desperately now to stay away from Marvel stuff.  I just found a Spiderman cold cast statue I've had for over 15 years.  Might have  to sell that off if it can generate any cash on ebay.  
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Brian on April 12, 2004, 01:30 PM
Yeah, I'm never a big fan of chase figures either Morgbug...but I don't know if I'd be completist with this line or not anyways.....watch me say that now  ::)  I could see me wanting a black costume Spidey down the road somewhere, but I don't think I'd want to fork out big money for it when it isn't all that different from Venom.  For now I think I'll stick with the Spidey ones, then maybe move on to X-Men and go from there.  I should have never started  ;).  Are you planning on giving up/staying away from Marvel stuff all together, or just minimates or other specific lines?  Hate to see a fellow Marvel collector give up the game...but you have to do what feels right, or what has precedence in your collection.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Morgbug on April 12, 2004, 02:21 PM
Staying away from minimates for now.  The Legends stuff I'll continue to pick up but it eats up an awful lot of space in no time flat.  I talk like I'll give them up, but seriously doubt it would ever happen.

Stupid addicting articulated plastic. I swear, toy companies must put an opiate in the plastic that we breathe in as soon as the package is opened.

But anyway, these are neat, and where can one find that awesome X-Men boxed set with the repro of Giant-Size X-Men cover on the front?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but are Marvel Minimates going to be (or continue to be) offered at retail places?  I know the TRU nearest us has the four packs, but I was wondering if they were going to be carry future waves...or if other stores might be as well?  I was just curious if they would be able to be found at retail...at least somewhat (I understand exclusives and chase figures might be an online-only type of thing).  If I have to collect the majority of the line from internet stores, I might have to stay away from it.  Just curious if anyone knew the retail situation...thanks :).

By the way, they are great little figs though.  I only have the Spidey four pack and I already want more :).

I have a question for you guys, maybe you can help. I remember way back in issue i think 62 of Toyfare they had a little section of the "Kubricks you will never own". On the list was a Black Cyborn Kubrick from the MAd Capsule Markets. I wrote in to toyfare several times for help but never got anything. I have a Medicom Kubrick Mad Capsule Market Box Set. It is actually a really nice set and I got it like 2 to 3 years ago before I even knew about Kubricks. I never thought much about it, the band gave it to me and that was it. The set includes :

White Crusher 02
White Crusher 03
Black Cyborn 02
Black Syborn 03
Black Cyborn SP (he's actually blue, not black)
Child
Erika
Pochi

It comes in a red window box. So basically doe sanyone have any info on it's rarity or value? Was it  a limited release? Have any of you even seen it or heard of it? Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

They're doing minimates of LOTR, yes?  Not sufficient?  

Simpsons would be cool, but I'd probably buy relatively few.  

Trek has been minimated as well, do you see it happening?  I have a Spock MM, it's pretty cool.  

Indy has to be done.  I think it will be done soon too, based on the Indy figure from the last SW series.  

I'd like to see Gilligan's Island done as a box set, maybe with a hut.  Get Smart with a cone of silence?  Lost in Space?  

Pretty limited as I try to avoid these lines as best I can
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on May 6, 2004, 12:33 PM
There are Marvel Kubricks and Minimates so I can see it being done for LOTR and Star Trek too.  I loved Trek as a kid and it filled my SciFi void post Star Wars pre 1995 for a long time.  I've been tempted by the new Trek toys but the wife factor has kept them out of the basement.  Well done Mini toys (and I think Kubricks are superior to Mates in that regard) would be swell...plus they could do TNG and the Originals and i'd be all over them
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates

Definitely lots of potential with Trek given all the aliens and different series.  I too like the Kubricks better, just not the availability.

Thanks for the links Scott.  I was curious, for those of you who collect Marvel Minimates, do you collect the line in its entirety, or just pick up the figures you like?  Personally, I only have the one TRU Spidey 4-pack for now, but I have been really tempted to collect most of the line.  I'd really like to get Spidey and all his friends/foes...but X-Men have been tempting as well.  But then I think I want to get Iron Man/Avengers....and Fantastic Four figures...seems like I'd eventually want them all.  Anyways, do you collect the entire line, or just certain aspects of it?  They're so small, it seems like wanting "them all" is even more tempting. :P

Post by: evenflow on May 14, 2004, 08:33 AM
Well I just started collecting these and have only bought Powerman and Iron FIst. I pretty much plan on buying only the ones I like. I am not a fan of the Ultimate X-Men ones so i wont buy them. I will buy pretty much all the Spider-Villians and main characters. I can't wai tfor the Super Skrull.

Went on a Kubrick spending and opening binge this past weekend.  Got all of my Disney figs opened and displayed (Series 1-6) Loving these suckers, especially the two Black Hole guys (Bob and Maximillian)  

These figs remind me that I need to sit down and watch a Nightmare Before Christmas as well, never have seen that.

Also opened Rocky sets and got my Speeder Bike sets from Simon and the Universal Monsters series 1 and 2.  

I really love Series 1 of the Monsters set, Frankenstein is an awesome figure!

Beth might be interested in this post from "TowerRecords.com" over on the AA boards:

"Currently we are expecting our Super Skrull / Thing 2 Pack to arrive in stores and online mid-August. We are trying to express a limited number of them to offer at our Tower booth at the San Diego Comic Con in July. We will also have a limited amount of our exclusive LOTR Sauron Mini-Mate available at the booth as well.

We will make it available on the 25th of this month to coincide with the DVD release. Online will only be able to offer the figure at $2.99 with purchase of the DVD or $6.99 as a single item.

We will be offering the figure FREE on the first day of the DVD release at our brick 'n mortar stores across the country. Our apologies for not being able to offer the same online. After that, you can purchase the figure for $6.99 or with the DVD for $2.99 while supplies last.

Pre-Orders for figures is something that I continually push for but currently, we will not be doing pre-orders for the LOTR Sauron Mini-Mate figure online. Sorry. It will be made for purchase online on the 25th and there are no limits."

Good deal on that Sauron Minimate, and I can't wait for August to get that Super Skrull & Thing 2-pack.  ;D
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on May 19, 2004, 04:07 PM
Agreed on both counts...although I am not overlythrilled by the scale of the LOTR figs...if I read the latest Toyfare correctly the Hobbits are the same scale as the Marvel and DC figs while the humans are bigger and then there is an even larger scale for Sauron.

Why not make the Humans a new scale and have the Hobbits be smaller and Sauron be the old 3" scale?  I might not buy these anymore and it is one more reason make mine Kubrick
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: MisterPL on May 19, 2004, 07:09 PM
As I understand it, the Hobbits use the 2-inch Marvel bodies. Humans will use a new 2 1/2" body style, while the rest will use the 3-inch Trek body. The only reason Sauron will measure up to 4 inches is due to his headgear, not the body style.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on May 19, 2004, 07:27 PM
But again, why change the human scale?  It makes my lifelong dream of having Captain America squaring off against Saruman a continued pipedream instead of a soon to be reality
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: MisterPL on May 19, 2004, 10:13 PM
I understand and share your frustration, but AA was faced with a few options.

- They could have made the humans the same 2-inch scale as the Marvel Minimates, but then they'd be faced with the engineering nightmare of creating an even SMALLER scale body for Hobbits. I can't picture 14 points of articulation on a 1 1/2-inch body. The 2-inch body suffers enough from a reduced scale.

- They could have made the humans the same 3-inch scale as the Trek (or other pre-Marvel) Minimates, and used the 2-inch body for Hobbits, but then they'd have to develop a larger body for the bigger characters like the Uruk Hai and Sauron. That might have been cost prohibitive.

- Or they could have ignored the scale altogether and just done humans and Hobbits with the 2-inch body. That would piss off everyone.

I think AA's counting on LOTR/block figure fans to pick up this line, not guys like us who want to pit Wolverine against Uruk Hai in a mini-brawl to end it all.

Honestly, I don't think a line like Lord of the Rings works very well in this category or any other where common bodies are used for various characters. Can you imagine Mego getting this license back in the day but only offering the human-sized characters because they only had one body scale?
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: evenflow on May 20, 2004, 09:10 AM
Awesome deal with the movie. Too bad I am waiting for the Extended Edition, better off anyway. I can't afford to start buying LOTR minimates too.


No one answered my question about a Crow Kubrick so its safe to guess there isnt one. :( I actually woudl really love one with Guitar and little crow. That would rock.

Alright, a while back I asked about the Mad Capsule Market Kubricks. Well I finally got to taking a picture of them. I am not sure how to post a picture. If I e-mail it or PM it to someone could they do it for me?

Ok so this is the set I was talking about a while back. It is from Medicom and they are Kubricks of the Mad Capsule Markets. Any info would be greatly appreciated. They were mentioned in an issue of toyfare in the Kubricks you will never own section. The box set wasn't mentioned exactly, just a single Cyborge figure. I was wondering if anyone knew how much thes emay be worth and how rare it is. Thanks in advance.

So, how many of you have decided to collect the upcoming (or current, with Sauron) Lord of the Rings minimates?  They do look kind of neat, and the minifigs are nice because they are (sometimes) cheaper, and easier to have a nice display of them without taking an entire wall up :).  These are supposed to be hitting in the next month or two, right?  I'm still on the fence about them (and working on convincing my better half that we need more than Star Wars in the house :P), are any of you planning on these?
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Morgbug on June 7, 2004, 02:59 PM
I think I may pass, though we'll see what distribution is like up here in Canada.  If I can pick them up for a reasonable fee and with good distribution, I will.  

I commented earlier on how frustrating these were early on.  We received basic waves of Marvel MM, but never a chase could I find.  One day in Grand Forks and I found two, one on clearance ::)  Even then, we have yet to see new waves, only restocks of old waves showing up.  Sadly, no more venom with tongue though, lest I'd hawk those on ebay.

I'll be picking these up...or will have to have someone do it for me.  I'll post this little tidbit of news from gd.com:


In The News: Street Date Confirmed for LOTR Minimates?
Looks like the Minimates may have finally found a delivery date to stores...well, at least to Toys 'R Us stores anyway. Dragonspy Cray sends in this little tidbit of news concerning the release of the highly anticipated Lord of the Rings Minimates:

"I just wanted to pass this on....according to the computers in the southeast area of the United States at Toys R Us...the Lord of the Rings Mini-Mates (their exclusive 4 packs....3 you can see and one hidden)should hit their stores anywhere from July 3 to July 11."

NOTE: This probably means that the West Coast will get their shipments in a bit earlier than the dates above. It is time to get ready and save those extra dollars for these very cool figures.


I don't have a TRU by me (nearest one is a four hour round trip) so I hope these show up online or some kind soul picks me up a set or two  ;).

That is interesting Scott, that could certainly change some things.  I'm with you, I like Wolvie and all, but I'm not overly excited about those either.

On a different minimate note, how do those of you got the Sauron minimate feel about it?  I have been thinking about ordering it online (anyone know how much shipping is on it?), but haven't pulled the trigger yet.  I have been tempted by this line (and the regular LOTR line as well), and this would be a chance for me to actually get in at the beginning for once, instead of deciding half way through the line :P.  Anyways, just wondering what everyone thought of it...and aren't the TRU packs supposed to be coming in July-ish (at least I hope they will be at retail stores such as TRU, otherwise I doubt I'll jump on board)?

Edit:  Also, ActionFigureExpress seems to have Waves 1 and 2 up for preorder (although most probably already knew that).  These are the 2 packs though.  It looks like there should at least be 20 "different" figures to start with, which is nice.

WAVE 1 (http://store3.yimg.com/I/actionfigurexpress_1796_587619) - Legolas & Gimli, Gandalf the White & King Theoden, Saruman & Wormtongue, Frodo & Uruk-Hai Swordsmen, and Aragorn & Uruk-Hai Berserker

WAVE 2 (http://store3.yimg.com/I/actionfigurexpress_1798_668893) - Gollum & Samwise Gamgee, Boromir & Merry, Pippin & Uruk-Hai, Grishnakh & Orc Scout, and Twilight Frodo & Aragorn (Rivendale repaint)

The Sauron minimate is very nice and will pretty much tower over the rest, which I suppose it should.  The quality seems pretty good and the box is nice, though I'm surprised it wasn't a windowbox.  If you can afford it, pick it up.  If you change your mind on the line later, I think this is an item you could pretty easily get your money back from.

Well...two Azrael and Spoiler (Chase)

And the key with Kubricks I've found is to wait about 3-4 months after they have been released and pick them up as a set on eBay.  Unless you want the chase, then wait a few weeks after the initial hype dies down and you should be able to pick stuff up fairly reasonably

I'm still catching up myself, there's some stuff I want but don't want to throw out $75 a crack for (like the BTTF Box Sets B, C and D) or $25-$30 for like the Shrek sets.  I also want to get the Scissorhands set and I think I'll have pretty much all that I want as far older stuff goes

As for Marvel Minimates:

Series 8 2-paks:
Mr. Fantastic/Human Torch
Brown Wolverine/Cut-Face Thing
Sue Storm/Big-Chest Thing

1. Mr. Fantastic / Human Torch - Sounds good to me, at leats we are getting 2 new figures.

2. Brown Wolverine / Cut Face Thing - I will probably pass - No need for another Wolverine or Thing (Especially since I already plan to get another with the Super Skrull)

3. Sue Storm / Big Chest Thing - What the hell is big chest Thing. WHy couldn't it be She-Hulk in FF gear. I think this will be the chase set with invisible and visible Sue but it would have been cool to have a double chase set with FF She-Hulk and Purple clothed She-Hulk as well.

Here's hoping for Thor in series 9. Way too many Things.

I'm just not familiar with these, but I saw images of some LOTR ones that were enticing...  What's the prices of things like that running for a set?

The Star Wars stuff looks so neat, but I hear "chase figure" and dread the thoughts...

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on June 19, 2004, 12:37 PM
For the first 10 figures of LOTR they will run $35 to $40 online...the 5 packs are cheaper though I think at TRU, haven't seen a price given but they should be around $10.  I believe the 2 packs will retail at $8 a piece so the 4 packs are the way to go for sure

Those Muppet Kubricks are pretty nice, thanks for posting Scott.  Hopefully they have a fairly complete collection planned for those, at least with the "main" characters.

Also, there was this bit of news reported on Action-Figure.com today about a Marvel Minimates 10-pack coming sometime before Christmas to TRU.  A couple of "exclusive" ones (Mr. Fantastic and Ultimate Green Goblin), and the rest are repacks.  You can read the story HERE (http://www.action-figure.com/Article11975.html).  It also says that Minimates should start showing up at Wal-Mart sometime next month.  I've still just got the one 4 pack I picked up, but I've been tempted to get a few more.  A more space and cost effective way to have an extensive "Marvel World" than 6" figures, although Marvel Legends are just so well done they are hard to pass up too.

I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but Amazon.com has a few Marvel Minimates sets up for sale now, with free shipping.  They have:

Capt. America/Absorbing Man/Maskless Spidey/Doc Ock

Carnage/Spider-Man/Thing/Doctor Doom

Grab Line Spider-Man/BD Daredevil/Civilian Logan/Juggernaut

Most of you probably already have these, but I ordered a couple of sets...and figured with free shipping it might not be too bad of a deal.  Here's the LINKY (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dtoys%26field-keywords%3Dminimates%26field-browse%3D171280%26search-type%3Dss%26bq%3D1%26store-name%3Dtoys/ref%3Dxs%5Fap%5Fl%5Fxgl21/002-3608704-5432058)

Post by: Brian on July 6, 2004, 11:51 AM
That stinks Scott, hopefully you can get something worked out.  I hope that these continue to be available online via Amazon, Tower Records, etc., because with these two sets on the way, I'd really like to continue to collect these...at least as much as possible...and the TRU nearest us doesn't seem to carry them (at least I can't find them).

A quick question...what has all been released now, is it just up to Series 4 and 5, waiting on 6, 7, etc.?  Just curious what was all out now, and how much I need to catch up on.  I don't think I'll go all "completist" on this line, since I'm a bit behind and exclusives are tough, but it is awfully tempting.  There's just so wee....don't take up much room at all :P.

That he is...now if he could only get them to start pumping out some Avengers (Thor, Vision, Hawkeye, Wasp, AntMan, Yellowjacket, Wonder Man, Beast (hey he's an X-Man too), Black Knight, Black Panther, Moon Knight etc etc etc etc)  

Every Marvel toy line is WAY too X-heavy in their approach
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Brian on July 6, 2004, 01:12 PM
That's a great point, there are a lot of Avengers that could be explored in this line.  Its true, most lines seem to be a little too X-heavy, and hopefully that is something they can get away from.  Marvel seems to have such a great "universe" of characters to explore, and hopefully they will be able to get to many more of them.  I do understand the need to have some of the "main" ones out there from time to time...Spidey in particular, which I don't mind too terribly as long as they don't get ridiculous....but I don't need a hundred different Logans/Wolvies either.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on July 6, 2004, 01:32 PM
I guess I've always heard that's what retailers want...which at some point Toy Biz and AA have to say B.S...all you need to do is take a look at the X-Men Movie lines and Failed X-Men Classics too see that X-Men don't sell.  People want variety...and I think AA knows this but also wants to please retail too and they know Wolvie will sell :-\ (maybe as I pointed out above, not always)
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Brian on July 9, 2004, 02:33 PM
Well, I'm very slowly building up my minimates collection.  My second set came today from Amazon (along with a VOTC Han!), and I have added Thing, Dr. Doom, Carnage, and another regular Spidey to the collection.  I already had the Spidey, but I don't mind having another.  These minifigures could sure get addictive, I can see why so many of you have several Kubricks, Minimates, etc.  I have another set on the way, so then I'll have 12.  Hopefully I can catch up a little bit :).
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Morgbug on July 9, 2004, 02:47 PM
Just another thing to stay away from  :P

Even now, Walmart has reduced the two packs down to $5.00 Cdn which is a pretty good price up here.  Darn near picked up the Daredevil and Kingpin two pack.  The Kingpin is priceless as a minimate.  But these have never sold well up here, so I'd be setting myself up for another round of importing toys.  We've been stuck with the first waves of these figures forever, with no chase showing in our cases so far, far too frustrating to begin on these.   :-\
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: DSJ™ on July 9, 2004, 03:38 PM
Keeping up with my collection of Konami figures, I received my case from HLJ of Mighty Jack ships.

For those that are not familiar with the show, they are stories that focus on the agents and crew of the great Mighty Jack, a flying submarine battleship vessel, the product of some of the most modern technology of the world which it was built to defend from "Q," a terrorist organization that has set its eyes on the glory of global domination.  The 11 MJ officers based in Japan are called to duty when the international threat of Q strikes.  The plots involve heavy espionage, including bloody assassinations, issues of international infiltrations, and the sacrifice of one's life fro personal ideals or on behalf of one's homeland, with serious, sometimes grim, intense human drama. 13 episodes, 1968.

A cross between Impossible and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.  ;D

Kinda like Ultraman I guess.

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Brian on July 13, 2004, 03:07 PM
I kind of feel the same way about the upcoming lineups Scott.  I guess I'm just not a big Punisher/Blade fan, so those don't do much for me.  I like the Fantastic Four figures as well, so I hope to pick those up.  Enough with Wolverine already though, yikes.  I would have liked to see more Avengers as well...and to be honest, if they are going to do X-Men, I'd rather they would be from the same "era" as the Giant Sized Box Set (which I don't have anyways :P).  I think I might stick to those types of figures in this line....Spidey and his crew, Avengers, Fantastic Four, and "classic" X-Men.  I agree, let's see figures like Vision, Thor, Hawkeye, Beast, Iceman, etc.

I know, I've always thought I would just pick one or the other...finishing out what I want from the Toy Biz line, or picking up the minimates instead.  I suppose, for what I want from the TB line, that would probably be the better option since there is only a few more figures that I care to have.  Plus, the sculpts look so nice, and would probably be a better collection to have down to road to me.  The minimates sure are nice though.  I hate when I get tempted again, I'm trying to give up other lines...not pick up more! :)

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates

I just got my 4-pack minimates today and I really like them.  I was going to wait until I found the two-packs but I figured for only two bucks more I get two extra figures so I just did it this way.  I know AFX will have the exclusive elven warriors so that is all I really want to complete this set.  I really don't need to get everyone, I just wanted to get a few of them to put on a very small (and empty) shelf.  

As for the regular TB line, I got Lord Elrond in his ceremonial robes.  What a fantastic figure this is. The gold in the sleeves and the red detailing on the arms of the robe are very well done, along with the sculpt.  I can't wait to get the rest of this wave as it seems to keep getting better and better.

Jeff...what do you think of the LOTR 'mates?  I've really been tempted to order these online (they aren't in the stores around here), but I've held off so far.  I enjoy LOTR, and would like to have a small-ish collection of them, and my wife isn't crazy about me expanding my 5 figure Toy Biz collection...so maybe the minimates would be a more space and cost effective avenue to go in.  Just out of curiosity, do you collect the Toy Biz figures as well?  Anyways, from what I have seen online these look great, and of the dozen or so Marvel minimates I have, they can be quite cool and addicting.

I know what you mean about those Kubricks.  I'd really like to get a Han Solo as well, and have thought about asking around to see if anyone here has an extra, but once I have one, I know I'll end up wanting more  :P  Ah well, such is the way with Star Wars collecting ;)

You are correct Simon.

Characteristics of Doppelganger:

Has multifaceted eyes.
His hands and feet have three toes or fingers ending in sharp talons.
He has 6 arms.
Razor sharp teeth.
A Spider-man like costume with a "mouth" hole in his mask.
His name (before he became the Spider-man Doppelganger)was James Dean.
He also possesses most of Spider-man's abilities (to spin a web, speed, agility and strength of a spider.)

It started just a few days ago with the LotR MiniMates.

Then, last night I picked up a DC Direct Kubrick set.  Now, I'm drooling over the Batman Movie Kubricks.

To top it all off, my Han Solo Kubrick is feeling pretty lonely right now.  For the love of my sanity, NO ONE offer me a Kubrick Early Bird Set with Luke/Leia/R2/Chewy or my OCD will kick-in and I'l have an Army by the weekend.   :-\

Or Sam the Eagle, arm raised as if he's about to say "SHUT THE HELL UP!  ALL OF YOU!"


I must have them...  I'll take a set.   :-[

At first I didn't want the BttF set, but who can resist a Kubrick dog?  Einstein!  Or Doc Brown.  I quickly relented and accepted and now have the old Kubrick total up to 28.   :o

Star Wars - 13
Indiana Jones - 1

Just a side note, and probably old news...but our Targets here in town have just started to get Marvel minimates two packs on the shelves.  First time I've seen them there, but they were on the shelf below the Marvel Legends/Spidey figures, and they had bunches of them the other day.  Nice to see them at retail, even though I haven't bought any in quite awhile now.  I think they were around $5-$6 a two-pack.

Thanks for those pics Scott, the Marvel Kubrick series does look pretty nice.  Wouldn't mind picking up a regular Spidey sometime.  They aren't nearly as expensive as Star Wars Kubricks?  That's a good thing to hear.  That's the reason I had stuck to the minimates, with the few that I have, because they were cheaper and easier to get a hold of.  Kubricks do look to have a superior product though.

Thats it i cant resist anymore I need the Marvel Kubricks. I wish I would have started with series 1, now I have alot of catching up to do.

Scarlet Spider is Awesome, A Glider with Hobgoblin rocks, but who is that all the way to the right?

Post by: Jeff on November 23, 2004, 01:22 PM
I think that is the marvel villian the Chameleon... or maybe he is Morph (from the X-Men)?

Either way, he looks to be a repaint of Magneto.  Hard to tell with the small picture though.

I'm not exactly sure the story with this one, but it looks like sokme super exclusive that was given out a a Metal Gear Solid launch event. There are only 2 on Yahoo Japan at the moment and one is listed for US$1000. He's dreaming of course, but maybe an indication that it super rare.

Animated Batman S1 Killer Croc
Animated Batman S1 Man-Bat
Movie Batman S1 Catwoman
Movie Batman S1 The Joker
Movie Batman S1 The Penguin  (My Total Bat-Figure Count now = 10)
Sesame Street S1 Big Bird

Sesame Street S1 Grover
Sesame Street S1 Ernie
Sesame Street S2 Bert
Sesame Street S2 Oscar
Sesame Street S2 Elmo  (My Total Jim Henson figure count now = 12)

I had to spread my orders around over SweatyFrog, eBay, and Ningyoushi, but I got them all very cheap ($6 each or less).

Total Kubrick Count = 27 Non-Star Wars, 22 Star Wars (Indy = Non-SW)

****, I wish I hadn't seen that post!  Damn, those look pretty cool, and rather tempting, especially for only $27ish...  Nice detail indeed, though the cockpit on the Viper doesn't look quite right.

I'm clueless about these though.  Are they minimates?  Don't look like it.  What's the scale?  Are there other ships/figures coming out too?  Give me more details!

And what's in the box of 10 pieces?  Do you get all the pieces shown above, or is it one of those ratio/chase kinda deals?
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: DSJ™ on January 4, 2005, 02:28 PM
I love these Konami figures. These are not minimates.

The individual boxes of 10 maybe a tad smaller than the Kabaya Star Wars Lego boxes. The Bandai Thunderbird ships I got, the boxes were the same size. They have the same perforated zip tap on the boxes and the ships come in a clear baggie and no outer foil bag like the Kubricks have and may come with some kind of candy packed in. So as soon as the box is open, no playing around.

Scales vary, there about anywhere from 1 inch to 4 inches. The character figures I have are as large as 5 inches. Depending on the figure, some assembly maybe required, sort of a small model kit.

Konami is known for there chase figures too, I think it's 1 chase per 2 boxes of 10. The chase figures are very demanding on the market, the Penelope, first Gay Ellis in full body space suit and Supercar have gone for $200. each if not more.

You should get a complete set of regular figures in the box and might get a chase figure or two. So far I have done well out of the boxes getting the case figures & only a couple of time I had to go to eBay to get the last one. Heck, Daggit, Lucifer or Ovion could be a chase.

Best to pre-order these as once there released from HLJ and the orders filled, they become discontinued depending on the market for them. I think these will fly.

Post by: Jeff on January 10, 2005, 10:25 AM
Movie Batman S1 Catwoman
Movie Batman S1 The Joker
Movie Batman S1 The Penguin  (My Total Bat-Figure Count now = 10)

Got these in the mail on Saturday.  Decided that I didn't need Selina, Penguin Soldier, or another Bats, so I jsut went for 3 of the 6.

As Scott pointed out, they say Series 1 on the cards.  Will there be a Series 2?  I hope so!  I imagin that since they did the first 2 movies in Series 2, maybe they'd do the second two in Series 2?  Here's my line-up guess...

Movie Batman Series 2 (my guess):

Movie Batman Riddler (Batman Forever)
Movie Batman Two-Face (Batman Forever)
Movie Batman Robin (Batman Forever)
Movie Batman Bane (Batman and Robin)
Movie Batman Poison Ivy (Batman and Robin)
Movie Batman Batgirl (Batman and Robin)

Those would be the main characters they have to choose from methinks, unless they add another Batman in there (Clooney Bats perhaps?).  I would only pick-up the villians if the above were true as I prefer the Comics look of Robin and Batgirl instead of the movie suits.

Speaking of Batman, any news on a Series 2 for the comics line (boxed)?  I see there is a repaint box of series 1 coming, but I was wondering if anyone has heard about a Series 2 for the Comic line or Animated line...

I've got:

Robin (Jason Todd)   - DC Direct Box Set
Batgirl         - DC Direct Box Set

Man-Bat      - Batman Animated Series 1
The Joker    - Batman Movie Series 1
Catwoman   - Batman Movie Series 1
The Penguin   - Batman Movie Series 1


Pretty happy with what I have so far, but I'd still like to grab:
Spoiler         - Batman Comic Series 1 - CHASE
Harley Quinn    - Batman Animated Series 1

The rest, I don't really want/need.  Not much difference between Batgirl/Freeze/Scarecrow versions, so I'm OK with just the USA versions.  Same goes for Animated Batgirl/Freeze, don't need them because I am happy with the versions I have.  Japan Batman, Animated Batman, and Movie Batman I skipped because I've already got 1 version I like (USA version) and don't really have a desire for 4 different Batmen.  Finally, the Bat-Beyond characters and other movie figure (Selina and Penguin Warrior) I passed on because they aren'y really needed in my Bat-Universe.


Has anyone ever even seen an auction for CHASE Spoiler?  I saw one once go for about $60, but have never seen another either on yahoo or eBay...  :-\

Does anyone know any place in the US to get the Spider-Man Kubrick box set?

I picked up the mini-javelin and Batcycle C3 sets. I only want the Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Man-Bat. If anyone is interested in the rest of the parts and Batman figure let me know. Best offer plus shipping gets them.

If you can wait until March, Diamond is importing both the X-Men and the Spiderman sets meaning that you can get them from a local comic shop or on-line.  In fact, most on-line comic shops have started taking pre-orders if you'd like to go that route...

At Mile-High Comics:
X-Men set (http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/nice.cgi?action=list&title=DEC043591)
Spiderman Set (http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/nice.cgi?action=list&title=DEC043590)


Otherwise, if you can't wait until March I've seen both the sets on eBay for similar $40 price, but more for shipping.

Ok, well I just got back from Toyfair and i saw The larger scale Galactus and Sentinel Minimates. They are making 4 different ones. Galactus, Sentinel, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. They were all unpainted but looked very cool. I looked for Thanos and Pheonix minimates but didnt see any. Feelf ree to ask any question!
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: evenflow on February 22, 2005, 06:59 PM
I went back to toyfair today and say the Galactus and Sentinel minimates. They are articulated but they said it is not confrimed that they will stay that way.

I also found out that Medicom has a booth at the Javits Center. I saw all the Marvel Series 4 Kubricks in persona nd they look great. No chase on display though. They gave me a toy fair exclusive clear Be@rbrick. i wish it was something cooler though.

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere, but how have you been getting into Toy Fair, Daniel?

Did you catch the SW Kubrick display?  Nothing worth mentioning really, just the TRU boxset and a few other items.  I was more interested if they had anyone at their booth who you kid pick their brain, and ask a few questions of...

Were you lucky enough to nab the $1,000 Hasbro Press Kit?  I'm guessing not, since I think you would've probably mentioned it already.  But cool that you got in there nonetheless.  Jealous I am, of all you lucky buggers!

Hey,
 I got in just becuase I am good friends with someone who owns a collectible toy store. Nothing new for the Star Wars Kubrick display. There was a bit of a langauge barrier so i couldnt pick their brain too much. And I very much tried to get the Star Wars Press kit. I actually begged and used my radio station ID, but it wasn't "press" enough for them. I did get to see it in person, very nice. They had a case of them behind the counter where people were signing in. I wish I could have made a quick dash and grab  ;D but no way that was happening. The new Marvel Kubricks looked very nice. I didn't see a chase figure.

No.

There have been 6 from the old Batman the Animated Series, 2 from Batman Beyond, 6 from the Batmovies (2 from #1, 4 from #2), and 7 (9 counting variants) from the comics but nothing that was specifically styled on the "Hush" style/artwork.

Hey guys!  I posted this in the SW Kubrick section, but figured it might fit better here.

So I just got into Marvel Kubricks.  I bought all series 4 at my local comic shop.  I got 5 of the 7 (Hobgoblin, Scarlet Spider, Capt. A, Mr. Fantastic, Havok) already opened, knowing what they were, and then was able to get the final 2 from there as well.  I got Morph and Capt A at first, but  the nice employee letting me return my double Capt. A twice, to get Wolvie.

So thats that...I am hooked.  Now I guess I am going for them all.  The cool thing is that it seems they are way easier and cheaper to find than SW Kubricks, at least the chase ones.

Can anyone verify these case breakdowns for me and add what is missing?

series 1:
    * Spider-Man (5/24)
    * Silver Surfer (4/24)
    * Wolverine (4/24)
    * Cyclops (3/24)
    * Colossus (3/24)
    * Storm (2/24)
    * Iron Man (2/24)
    * chase: Dr. Doom (1/96)

series 2:
    * Venom (5/24)
    * Ice Man (4/24)
    * Punisher (4/24)
    * Gambit (3/24)
    * Professor X (3/24)
    * Omega Red (2/24)
    * Apocalypse (2/24)
    * chase: Nightcrawler (1/24)

series 3:
    * Carnage (5/24)
    * Spiderman Black Costume (5/24)
    * Magneto (4/24)
    * Human Torch (3/24)
    * Juggernaught (3/24)
    * Jean Grey (2/24)
    * Daredevil (2/24)

series 4:
    * Scarlet Spider(6/24)
    * Captain America(4/24)
    * Havok (4/24)
    * Hobgoblin (3/24)
    * Wolverine (3/24)
    * Mr. Fantastic (2/24)
    * Morph (2/24)
    * chase: Venom Peter Porker (1/96)

Also, can anyone tell me a good place to get series 1,2 and 3, and what would be decent prices for the whole lots, including chases?

Thanks!

Post by: bomarr Monk on April 30, 2005, 12:28 AM

I believe eBay is your best bet, there is a seller by the name of boondockcollectables (or something like that) he has marvel series 1-3 up every couple of months.  As for the price i have seen Venom/Punisher go for as little as $40 to as high as $200.

It's from Tokyo Tribe, a japanese comic, kinda hip-hop style, about gang life in modern Tokyo.  That is Skunk, there was a Kubrick of him if someone wants to find a pic, in the last set of Tokyo Tribe Kubs.  This series of manga is very popular in Japan.

Anyhow, the guy is a bad guy, hence the hitler uniform here.  And that character on the armband is katakana "Su", as in "Sukanku", Japanese English for Skunk.

I am having the hardest time tracking down a Series 2 Nightcrawler, Series 1 Storm and Series 1 Spider-Man.  I can understand the Nightcrawler, as he was a 1:24 chase, but why is it so hard to get a Storm and Spidey?

They are the only 3 that I need to complete my loose Marvel collection (without any of the 1:96 figures), and someone offerred the three of them to me from Japan for $60 with shipping.  I am almost at the point of going for them, because it just seems like I won't find a Nightcrawler anywhere...

Does anyone here still collect Marvel Minimates?  I know many lean more towards the Kubrick versions, which do look better, but I guess because of price/availability the only mini-figs I've picked up so far have been the minimate versions.  I haven't bought any for quite some time, but was thinking about get a few more eventually.  Part of me is leaning towards the Kubrick versions as well, but if I'm going to spend the money on Kubricks...I'd rather go the Star Wars route...even though I'm waaaaay behind :).

Does anyone here still collect Marvel Minimates?  I know many lean more towards the Kubrick versions, which do look better, but I guess because of price/availability the only mini-figs I've picked up so far have been the minimate versions.  I haven't bought any for quite some time, but was thinking about get a few more eventually.  Part of me is leaning towards the Kubrick versions as well, but if I'm going to spend the money on Kubricks...I'd rather go the Star Wars route...even though I'm waaaaay behind :).

I buy both the Marvel Minimates and Kubricks (and of course star wars). I liek both kubricks and minimates, they both are unique and enjoyable. Without a doubt the chase minimates are easier to find, and the line itself is less money just becuase we can get them at retail here. Both are worth getting into.

Thanks to a sale by minifig over on Kubrickworld, I expanded my Kubrick focus.  I scored:

Muppets series 1 set of 5
Sesame St. series 1 set of 5
Sesame St. series 2 set of 5
DC Direct Batman boxed set + Azrael

Yee haw!  But now that my focus is beyond Marvel and Star Wars, I think I'm doomed!   ;)

Sure, I feel kinda dumb having to buy a whole set of 7 just to get a Spoiler chase fig, but hey - I finally got one!   :)

What would be a good price for a Master Chief Kubrick figure (from the X-Box game Halo)?  I saw a few on eBay and I really like the figure, but all of the Kubricks that I have so far cost me between $5 - $15, so I'm reluctant to spend much more than that.  Granted, I understand this to be an exclusive of some kind, but still, it looks like it'll set me back a chunk of $$$.  Any ideas about this piece?

I've still got a set of Medicom Batman Series 1 Kubricks for sale.  The set contains the following figures (6 figures total):

1x Batman (Modern)
1x Robin (Tim Drake)
1x Batgirl
1x Azrael
1x Scarecrow
1x Mr. Freeze

The figures are from the Japanese Series 1 release and are NOT from the more common DC Direct box set.  All six figures are still sealed in the original Medicom baggie and each figure comes with an original Medicom Batman Series 1 box and insert.

Price is $30 shipped for anyone who is interested...

A little bit of older news I guess, but looking through some LOTR stuff today I came across the announcement for Series 3 (http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=lotrnews2.setup&category=lotr&topic=3&show_article=332) of the Lord of the Rings Minimates.  It looks like the lineup is:

Aragorn
Eowyn
Witchking
Ringwraith
Twilight Ringwraith
Lurtz

I've always been a bit tempted by these (as with many mini-figure lines...SW Kubricks in particular), and its nice to see the line continue.  I'm still considering picking some of these up, I think some of the earlier figures can be picked up fairly cheap now from what I've seen.

On a side note, I picked up my first Minimate product in awhile, getting the DC C3 Throne Room set for $5-something off of Amazon.  I was ordering a DVD anyways, and just tacked it on while it was on sale.  I always wanted to get a Superman minimate, and it was a pretty good price.  It is a nice little set, I'm debating whether I'm going to display the whole thing or just the figures.  It is neat how you can make Superman look like he's "flying" though.  I also see that Tower Records has Marvel minimates Series 10 and 11 up for sale.  Maybe they've been there for awhile though, I just noticed that today.  I'm tempted to pick up the set with Iceman, and some of the others look nice too.

I was considering trying to do the X-Men only, but then I saw the prices for some of the series 1 X-figures and the chase Nightcrawler and decided to stick to DC Kuby for now.   :P

Yep, they were Diamond exclusives, along with the 400% Batman.
Not sure how well they sold, but I don`t think they did great. They also offered
the last Marvel series. The price on the box sets (Spiderman and X-Men sets
both had MSRP of 40 bucks! ) turned people off I think. Seeing as how the DC
Direct Batman set was only 29.99 and didn`t sell all that great, I think they
should have tried to keep them under 30.

The box sets also used alternate colors for the characters that to me just didn't look right.  I liked the X-Men box set a little better (even with the glossy purple Magnus), but the sheen on the Batman figures just was not appealing to me.

Gregorbian: The Halo 2 Kubrick was an exclusive/hard to get, which is why it's so high.  They're slowly dropping down in price some (used to be about $200, I got mine at ~$45).  They're very cool - I'd be tempted to army-build if they were cheaper.  :)

Yeah, the 'classic' Daredevil and the Punisher in Trench Coat make the Spidey pack fairly tempting.  I see we've got most of the same Marvel figs, except that you've got Scarlet Spidey and Morph too.  I must admit that the suction cups with the Spideys were a nice touch - I like attaching them to things around my office.  And I'm jealous of the Batman movie collection with the missile-firing penguin hidden in the background.  I've got a crush on that, and that's my next purchase when the price heads down.

Where's the Supergirl/Superman from?  I don't think I've ever seen that nor heard of it (I've been building a checklist)... a little retro, but nice.

The Superman figs are bootlegs made by Kamiru, I have a Batman set
too I got a little while ago. Hoping with the Supes movie next year that
Medicom will put out a legit Superman set.
Kamiru made the bootleg Star Wars sets as well. I only have the Biker Scout
and Clones from the SW line though.

Galactus looks great holding SS!  :D

I love the Batman Movie set, I got it from Toy Tokyo when they first got them.

Right now, it's a text-only list organized by line.  I'm *thinking* about adding in links to pictures, but that will obviously take a loooong time.  I had been trying to figure out what Kubricks were available at what point, and accidentally started building up this list in order to have an English-language list.

If this helps people, awesome.  If you want to help out, I'd appreciate it.  Generally stuff that I know I don't know is marked with a '?'.  :)

Well the maximates have been officially announced with the insane price tag of 85.00. They will be statues. I really wanted Galactus and the Sentinel but not for that price.

Toynewsi.com has some info (and pic) up of the upcoming "Minimate Max" Galactus (http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=23&itemid=8347) coming in 2006.  I haven't bought any minimates for awhile now, since collecting money has been going elsewhere, but I was always tempted to get more.  The Galactus would be pretty cool, although if I remember right, these are fairly pricey aren't they?

I'm going to be very tempted by the Galactus, but at the same time I think I like the scale of the 18" Marvel Legends Galactus more.

I *love* the pics of the MiniMate Galactus though - that's really great design.

EDIT: I take that back: upon further review, I found that that's a statue, not a figure.  That sucks.  =\

I offered over on KW to get these for people, I figured 2 or 3 would want
them or didn`t get them yet.
I think I ended up ordering 8 sets!  ;D
If I have one left, I`ll keep it, I just want Wonka really.
Wish they would get more Batman Begins sets in, tons of people still
need that one and they seem to be sold out most places, or cost over
50 bucks.

They call it a statue but it seems to be partly articulated with jointed elbows. If you look at the Wolverine and Spiderman, they look like the exact make of the smaller counterpart with full articulation. I have a feeling that the term "statue" is used incorrectly...
I really like these larger Mini-mates but the $85 msrp is kinda steep for only 8" of figure. If I can find them for cheaper (under $50), i'll definitely pick them up...

I hear what you are saying 85.00 is just too high. If they were about 50.00 i would more than likely pick up Galactus, and maybe the Sentinel.

Doc, Randy and myself go in on a master case usually.
The good thing about the stormies and such is they usually pack them
3-4 per box of 12, so not too hard to get a bunch.
I get them off eBay when I can too. Picked up a few Sandtroopers a week
or two ago. Oh, a master case is 4 boxes of 12.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: efranks on January 25, 2006, 07:36 PM
Gotcha.  I guess I didn't realize that a master case was only 4 boxes.  That makes sense since the 3 of you go in on them.

Do you usually save by doing that over buying boxes individually?  I guess I've never asked you that before.  I bought a box of the Bounty Hunter wave way back when...ran me about $100 shipped from Hong Kong.

Well, I saw this over at KubrickWorld and now that I am up to three 400% pieces, I just can't resist.

400% Batman at Barnes and Noble for $30 with FREE Shipping! (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=0z0qwjtC65&isbn=1400627427&tgs=1&itm=1)

Since I'm a B&N Member (10% off), AND I get a discount via work (5% off), and I had a $25 Barnes and Noble Gift Card to use (from Christmas) I decided to order this guy.

The grand total after all my discounts and the gift certificates was - $2.13  :o

Now that's a good deal.   ;D

Bats is a great figure. My favorite in my collection and a former grail. I could've gotten the 5% discount from work also but I was too impatient and ordered it from home. Totally worth the extra pennies...

Batman is great!
It was the 2nd 400% I got, my favorite one after Fett.

I think you`ll find these a bit cheaper than SW ones because they were
solicited and sold in the US (Via Diamond), and not Japan only.

Since I am here, new minimates were on display. Nick Fury, long haired Sentry, X3 movie mates, and 2 minimates that i have no idea about. One was a black costumed ninja looking character that looked like Black Panther but is not and the other was an older looking African American male with grey hair.

Very cool news.
I have them all already though! I wonder if they are just working with old stock,
or if they are making more. I know that Space Jockey set is in stock everywhere,
I grabbed mine for $6.00 on eBay awhile back.
The Kane Chestburster is AWESOME! It is a chase though, 1:96 I think.
I think I am missing another chase, egg chamber or something, have to look
and see.
Would love to see some Predators if Medicom could swing it, that would rock!

Any pics/links to those new Minimates?

I'm kinda of glad for the hold off, it's helping me do some catch up. I just picked up the 400% Venom, so all I need now is the 400% Spidey. Wish they would make more of the larger Superheroes...

Meh, I don't think I'm going to get into the Spawn Kubricks. I collect too many kinds of Kubricks to concentrate on another series.

Today, I received my Charlie & The Chocolate Factory 2 pack in the mail courtesy of Gentle Giant. Love the two pack (although I'm really not into Bearbrick) and Willy Wonka's goggles actually stay on without any problems.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: evenflow on June 28, 2006, 10:35 AM
I hear the logic in not collecting these, but I only do Star Wars and Marvel, and there hasn't been Marvel in some time. I doubt they will be doing any more Back to the Future, so i figure why not?  ;D Thats my story and i'm sticking to it.

I wish they would've done another regular set of Back To The Future figs. The boxed sets were really expensive to come by. I would've loved to add a George or Lorriane to my Kubrick Collection...

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Madcow on June 29, 2006, 11:11 AM
I personally really like the Spawn Kubricks. If these are individually boxed/carded, i'd like to get Spawn, Clown and Violater and the Spawn Be@rbrick...

The 400% Wonka is FANTASTIC and is a must buy for me. Here's to hoping for a 400% Jack Sparrow next...

Here is a few shots of my non SW kubs. I have to dig my Minimates out now, figure how to display them in the case.

DC & Marvel.

Received an e-mail from RoBBy, it's time to make your order!

Let's see... 7,392 yen = $62.82 US or $70.10 CDN for a box of 12 Kuby's.
Release date: 03/31/2007.
Booking deadline: 11/30/06.

Now from what I can see on the site is 12 Kuby's per box & maybe 12 boxes per carton (Master Case/144 Kub's) or (Master Case/72 Kubs)?  (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a050.gif)

Below is what looks like the ratio breakdown of the Kuby's.

Agreed, those carded Batman kubs (movie and animated) were the best. I had to keep them carded for that reason... As for Spawn, i'm not going to jump the gun on these, i'll wait til they're released to see if I want them...

Violator Variation 1/24
Redeemer 1/12
Redeemer Variation 1/24
Clown 1/12

I can only find these at Toytokyo.com and bbts.com :-\  Same price at both places ($15 per) but toytokyo, if you live in Japan, allows you to order singles.

I received my Konami Thunderbirds Ultimate Collection Vol 1 & 2 today. I was not expecting the boxes to be large.   :o

(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i306/DSJcdn/PE%20Diecast%20Eagle/KonamiThuderbirdsUltimateCollection.jpg)

A very nice window display box which is not taped shut so it can be opened with ease.
The box measures 23 1/2" x 3 3/4" x 15", very pricey to have the items shipped & customs will kill ya especially when I ordered 2 sets of each!  :(

I expect the UFO Collection to be boxed the same, guess I'll find out in February.  ;D

I'm not overly enamored of Boo-berry or Count Chocula, so I'll either ebay them or sell them here if someone's interested.  All I ask is you don't turn around and ebay them because I can do that myself.

I like the fact that they are really branching out with the Minimates line but I think they're product selection is quite confusing. Is there really a market for Rain Man and Desperately Seeking Susan minifigs?

I do like the Back to the Future pieces but i'll be sticking with my Kubs unless they make some vehicles like the Delorean and Biffs Chevy (w/o manure :P)...

Nope, they're doing them.  I asked specifically, because I was kind of perplexed in their choices.  :)  They said the oddball series like Rain Man, etc, would more than likely be box sets and not available individually.  That makes a little more sense, but I still can't fathom who would really want most of these.

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Scott on February 27, 2007, 11:05 AM
Something I've found to be quite odd over the last few years is how many lines Mini-mates are doing now that Medicom alreayd made in to Kubrick form (see Back to the Future, some DC and Kellogg's Cereal)

I was starting to get worried about the lack of a SW Kubrick Series 8 announcement that Art Asylum had somehow got the Star Wars block figure license and would start making them...somehow Lego is also in the mix there somehow which I think is why Kubricks can't be released in North America...

Anyway, I like Minimates and all but I like Kubricks better and its sad to see another company doing a "me too" sort of thing.  However, I also enjoy the breadth at which MM have gone as far as character selection and scale in that there is a whole crapload of stuff out there in a few years...something Medicom hasn't done or do very well.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Madcow on February 27, 2007, 11:19 AM
MM are making Kelloggs? That's odd considering the Kub ones were distributed here in the US. I myself am not really a fan of the MM though I do own a few. They're a little too flimsy to me but the extra articulation is nice.

Yeah, I agree with Scott, the mini-mates come off as "me too". 

Both the DCD "Pocket Heroes" line and the DC Comics Mini-Mates line just pale in comparison to my Batman (and lone Superman) Kubricks.  I wish Medicom could have held onto that DC licenses, I'd have loved to get more Bat-bricks!   :-\

Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: evenflow on February 27, 2007, 11:58 AM
I love them both becuase they are very different figures. They both have something special to them. I buy the marvel minimates and pick and choose the DC ones. I will probably pick up the Rocky box set and the back to the future ones as well. I buy marvel kubricks and have superman. I have all the back to the future kubricks. I don't mind buying the same figures becuase of the differences between them.

YIKES! Those are horrible! While I would like the Keebler Elf, Tony the Tiger looks like he has Down Syndrome.

I agree with you about the lack of DC Kubs. Though Batman did have a pretty nice run with the Animated and Movie lines, both being some of the favorites in my collection. I just always thought it was weird that they only made The Joker in the movie line. He's usually THE villian in anything Batman...

What I have always wanted was a Blade Kubrick or a series based off the movies but for now i'm left suffering with my lone mini-mate...  :(

Post by: Scott on February 27, 2007, 12:27 PM
Forgot about Rocky, that was another one that has been done before.  The Batman movie Kubricks are some of the best Medicom did...

One other oddity is the complete lack of Disney Kubricks for a long while (outside of the Pirates set last year)
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: evenflow on February 27, 2007, 01:56 PM
As much as i love Kubricks i have to agree that they release schedule is not all that great. We have no idea if lines have ended or not. Its been a long time since any Marvel Kubricks, I believe the last were the FF movie ones. As pointed out the disney kubricks as well. I wish they were more steady.
Title: Re: Kubricks and Minimates
Post by: Madcow on February 27, 2007, 02:29 PM
Sometimes I think they just pick licenses out of a hat and that's what they're making for the month. The only thing they make that has any consitency whatsoever are the Bearbricks. They've been putting out 2-3 series of those a year for the last few years. The only reason I can see is that there really isn't much licensing that goes into making them as all they need is the artist's approval for each bear. As for the Kubricks, I have a theory that the popularity of the SW Kubricks kind of made them put everything else at a stand still. Besides some small exclusive pieces that's the only dedicated line of Kubs they've put out since Marvel 5...

On a similar note, any word on the Spawn Kubs? I see Blister just posted something about exclusives but I can't read Kanji:

I don't think so. It says "Blister" and not "Blister Direct" which means it will probably only be sold through their retail stores. You might have to go through Robby, HLJ or Ebay. Depressingly, I think this is going to be the same case with the 400% BHS...

You can order the set online with the variant at BBTS. Other than that comic stores usually carry them.

I posted this a few pages back, mine was MIB.  ;D

This beauty that eluded me for sometime arrived in the mail today.  8)  Medicom BTTF II Future Car aka Blade Runner Spinner. Now do I leave it the way it is or do I modify/repaint/decal to make it look like the Police Spinner from Blade Runner?


(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i306/DSJcdn/Kubricks%20Series%206/KubrickBTTFBladeRunnerSpinner.jpg)

It set me back $120. but well worth it. Damn thing is huge, 10 inches long. I do have in mind modifying a Han kuby to make a Deckard figure, I think that would be cool.  ;D

  Hi! Not sure if this is the right place but...Is anyone interested in the new series of MGS Kubricks? I think they look awesome and would really like to get a set. Problem is a box is like 150.00? Maybe someone out there is already getting a box or a case and would like to sell off a basic set to offset shipping or get rid of the doubles? Maybe someone would like to go in on a box and split the costs? Just hoping. Thanks!

*edit* It helped if I would have searched for 'Spiderman Kubrick' and not just 'Marvel Kubrick'...  So different question, how much did that end up running you?  The one's I've recently seen are all in the $60's once you add on shipping.

i think in the end it was around the 52.00 mark. over priced but i went for it anyway. 60.00 sounds about right.

I've been praying for this since they announced the SDCC exclusive in vintage packaging almost 2 years ago. Here's to hoping for the Vintage styled packaging again...

I ended up picking up Shrek Sets B & C yesterday for $5 each plus shipping.  Something told me that those were good prices for those and that I shouldn't pass them up.  The shipping was listed as $7 and the seller combines shipping.  I'm really hoping to get both of these for no more than $20 shipped, but even if the seller charges twice shipping, I'm still looking at $12 each...  I can live with that.

Picked up a case of the Spawn kubricks. I need the gold spawn and then the set will be complete. On a side note I love Medicom for the attention to detail. The original color Overtkill has a 5 cent meter while the green one has the 5/10 cent. I just wish they would complete lines instead of just stopping them.

For the most part, besides the Monsters Inc. Door i have got them really cheap. The Steamboat Mickey set cost me only 0.99 which is awesome  ;D

I'm more of a Minimate guy than a Kubrick one myself (though I am slowly succumbing to the call of the Kubricks).  Here is an older pic of a little over 1/2 of my collection:

These 'Mates are actually all on Lego stands.   If any of you have Minimates with the C3 feet (C3 being the DC block toy line from a few years ago), these stands work really well.

Since 7 (or possibly 8 ) different figures are shown, I assumed that these would be individually packaged.  I figure that the symbol would be the main variant, with the alternate Stay Puft head being another one.  However, I would be pleased as punch if it was just a big box set.  Otherwise, I'll be buying at least one entire case, to try and get the chase(s).

No they don't.
This time around though they sold some Star Wars Series 9 early and we now know what the chases are.
Only one other time did we get info on chases (Series 6) and IMO it was a misshap.

I pre-ordered a box of LOST Series 1 from Robby.jp a while ago...  I think they were announced in February and then offered up for order in March.

There was also a Kub/Be@r 2-pack that was announced at the same time - it had an alternate version of Jack and a LOST logo Be@r.

Since I don't really get into the Be@rs, I don't actively look for the 2-packs.  Once I heard the general series was coming, I decided to not go after the 2-piece set.

The Kub/Be@r 2-pack has been released (you can find them on eBay) and the Series 1 figures are scheduled for 8/31 release.

My 2-pack is sitting at the post office waiting to be picked up.  I don't really have an interest in the full series though...

Title: Minimate Charitymates II: Support the WWF!
Post by: karamazov80 on July 9, 2008, 02:09 PM
Not that WWF!  If you or someone you know likes cool mini-figures or animals (particularly if they somehow like both!), then please check out the auctions here:

Charitymate Animals! (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZfujis)

These were all custom Minimates created by the talented customizers of the Minimatemultiverse, and most of the money goes to a great cause in the World Wildlife Fund (and a bit of it goes to another great cause in the upkeep of the Multiverse).  Spread the word to your friends and neighbors!

Medicom updated the site today, no SW Kub's that I can see but they did add these. 2,940 yen so about $27.30 US per set.

I'm all over the TDK Joker set... very cool to add the new Joker to my DC 'bricks.  :)

They also announced that the 400% "Why So Serious" Be@rbrick will be sold at the Summer WonderFest'08 show... 800 pieces total (300 at the show, 500 on-line orders).  That one is tempting, but I think i'll pass since I'll get the little version in the 2-pack.

Post by: Symposium on July 23, 2008, 08:57 PM
Yeah I'll end up buying them with the bearbricks but only putting the kubs on display. I find bearbricks boring to be honest. They either consist of the standard repaint relevant to whatever the theme is (the black one with the lost logo on for example) or they're an actual character which looks nothing like what they're supposed to (ewoks for example or the pepsi atrocity)

I decided to preorder them. Are they reliable on the 2 packs at least????
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Jeff on July 27, 2008, 09:31 PM
If it is a standard order item (like these 2-packs), almost any place is reliable.

It is just the exclusives that you have to watch for...  if it is a Convention or a Medicom on-line exclusive (like the 2008 Box set, the Maul Bike set, etc), your chances of getting it at an etailer like BBTS, Toywiz, ActionHQ, etc are less than 1%.

If any of you collect Minimates, this is a definite toy to get for his accessories alone.  He comes with a chainsaw, flamethrower (or I treat it as such, anyway), and cool baseball hat that you can see in this pic, among other stuff.  Very cool Minimate.

Also, Be@rbrick Series 17 (http://www.bearbrick.com/WI/0032.cgi?recno=840).  I think I'll try to track down Mickey to join my small be@r collection as well.  :)

BBTS has these and the Be@rbricks up for pre-order.  Each set is pre-order priced as $17.99 / set.  The list price is $19.99 / set.  The Kubrick set that contains Dr. Manhatten also has a 1 in 4 chance of having a suited variant of the figure.

$17.99 per set is better than a box of 24 for $210. plus & not having all the extras. I preordered them & will chase down the Manhatten variant depending on the price.  :-\

Thanky for the heads up, just hope BBTS will come thru.  :)

BBTS has both the 2-Pack and the Series up for pre-order:

WTWTA 2-Pack (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10344&mode=retail)

WTWTA Case of 24 (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MED10343&mode=retail)

I pre-ordered both and am hoping to get at least 2 sets of 8 out of the case...

Jack Dalton would be another character. To be honest I'd be happy with a macgyver/bearbrick 2 pack.
I would no doubt have to be sick all over the bearbrick before destroying it and sending it back to hell where it came from.*

I was wondering about that myself.  Might they possibly release both blind-boxed and 3 packed releases of the same figures (minus chases)?  Has there been any precedent for this with Kubricks?
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Symposium on July 23, 2009, 06:49 PM
Yeah I thought that was strange too. I've ordered the two 3 packs from play.com in the UK but then when I saw the blind boxes on ebay!

What could the chases be I wonder?
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Sir Real on July 23, 2009, 07:04 PM
One of the chases is Dr. Manhattan in a suit.  Don't know of any others yet.

This is most likely the common chase. I wonder if the others will be variants or other watchmen characters from the golden age.

Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Symposium on July 23, 2009, 11:44 PM
Interesting! So does that mean the 3 packs are just 3 blind boxes sold together? or is it just the way BBTS are selling them?

Post by: I Am Sith on July 24, 2009, 12:17 AM

I was looking at it more from the standpoint of being individual blind box figures vs. a three figure box set.  I was under the impression that they would be sending these figures in a window box with the three figures inside, not three individually blind-boxed figures.

Anyway, I just hope that they start filling orders soon.  These are really good looking figures.

I think they assumed the Kubricks would be in 3-packs like the be@rbrick sets are/were.  This whole thing was wierd - some places (like Blister.jp) were selling boxes of 24, while others (like BBTS) sold 3-packs. 

The more I think about it, the more pre-order doesn't really make sense... $17.99 for a three pack, when the retail price in Japan is around $9 each?   ???

I guess we wait and see what happens...
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Sir Real on July 24, 2009, 01:17 AM
My guy in Hong Kong said the chase Dr. Manhattan was 1:96.  These are out in Hong Kong now (he said they got an early release), but not yet in Japan.  He only knows about the individual blind boxes, but if there are indeed 3-packs for US distribution (like the Halo 4-packs), I doubt he'd know about that.

I'm tempted to get these now from overseas, but I'd be kicking myself if the much cheaper 3-packs, and 1:4 Dr. Manhattan chases, started appearing stateside.
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)

Looks like the Watchmen ratios are:

20:96 THE COMEDIAN
20:96 RORSCHACH
16:96 OZYMANDIAS
15:96 DOCTOR MANHATTAN
12:96 NITE OWL II
12:96 SILK SPECRE II
01:96 Suited DOCTOR MANHATTAN (CHASE)

Still no word if there are special 3-packs for the USA or what...
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Symposium on July 25, 2009, 02:48 AM
All those crazy high ratios make the 1:96 look odd lol.

I picked up a basic set of six from ebay the other day for around Ł30/$49 shipped. I still have my pre-order up on play.com in the uk. If the 3 packs turn out to be legit and not a screw up I wouldn't mind having them display boxed too.

Not sure how I feel about that suited Manhattan, it's cool but more along the lines of the blue snag in terms of desirability for me. So no other 1:96 or 1:48 chases then? I would kill for a Hooded Justice  ;D

There are pics over at Kubrick Nation from SDCC that show Watchmen Kubricks on Display at a booth with a not in front of them for 3 pack A and 3 pack B suggested price of $24.99. So looks like the 3 packs will happen.

You can probably find him at your local TRU.  These aren't selling very well.

And I would debate you as to whether the Minimates could compare with Kubricks, but I'm sure that isn't a popular argument around here, so I won't go there ;)
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: DoctorPadawan on October 14, 2009, 09:33 PM
I don't know the first thing about Kubricks (other than owning a Blair Witch Project box set and thinking the ones I've seen here on JD look insanely cool), but while at TRU earlier today, they had at least 10 Watchmen three packs sitting on the shelves.  Roughly 20 bucks each before tax, and there seemed to be an equal number of each three pack (two different ones) on the shelf.

Pack 1 was the Comedian, Nite Owl II, and Ozymandias
Pack 2 was Dr. Manhattan (totally blue), Rorschach, and Silk Spectre II

I just found this odd since it was the first time I've ever seen TRU carry any Kubricks in-store.  I wound up passing on them, as I'd already shelled out 50 bucks for the new TIE Interceptor, but I thought I'd let you Kubrickaholics know about it nonetheless.  :)

Ningyoushi.com has the Watchmen sets in-stock for $16 each.  I ended up ordering from them and cancelled my BBTS pre-order.  They didn't mention anything on their site about the Dr. Manhattan suited variant figure, but at this point in time I really don't care if I get that figure or not.  I'm happy with the two basic sets for that price.

I also looked at TRU.com and they have both of these sets as a pre-order for $20 each.

There's just enough new/repaint stuff in there to make it annoying...  $100 is a bit more than I want to pay for a box of repaints, so I guess I'll just watch and see what happens before I commit to buying.  Past DCD repaint box sets always bottom out on the cheap side after a few months, hopefully this one will too...

I'm with you Jeff.  The new Joker and the updated animated Robin are the only two that jump out at me as the ones I'd really want.  The others are just minor re-paints/redecos or straight re-releases that I'm not that crazy about.  Hopefully I'll be able to snag the two I want loose...

New Style packaging for the 2-packs. Probably saves them money.
Title: Re: "Other" Kubricks and Minimates (Non SW)
Post by: Sir Real on June 6, 2010, 01:27 PM
Well, there have been carded two-packs before this one, so it's not a completely new package design.  I think the choice to make this a carded two-pack may have something to do with the fact that a card can be hung on pegs, whereas the standard two-pack box (see/ star wars) can't.  (Although the new Disney two-packs are boxed yet also have a hanging tab glued on, so who knows?)

That makes a little sense but how did they even get to that point?  I doubt it is Mini Mates either since they have basically copied every single license that Medicom already has done.

Their answer was... not all that exciting:

The said item is still TBC at this moment.
If and when they are ready to be announced, we will put advertisement on our website
Until then, they are TBC

I'm guessing TBC must be like "To Be Considered" or some other form of 'to be determined'.  So, Ghostbusters are not technically cancelled... but not exactly coming anytime soon I guess.

TBC is used in the UK quite a lot for film certification (on pre-release posters and alike) and tends to mean To Be Confirmed. Not that it makes a great deal of difference.

Looks like the same size as the Medicom BTTF II Future car. 23.5cm = 9.25".

This beauty that eluded me for sometime arrived in the mail today.  8)  Medicom BTTF II Future Car aka Blade Runner Spinner. Now do I leave it the way it is or do I modify/repaint/decal to make it look like the Police Spinner from Blade Runner?

Now here's a fantastic box set for any fan of the iconic 1982 Ridley Scott film, Blade Runner! This Blade Runner Collector's Box includes two region-free Blu-ray discs, one the "Final Cut" version and the other the "Work Print" version, but the big news here is that this set will also include a beautifully detailed large-scale model of the ever-popular Police Spinner car! The fully-assembled, fully-finished and accurately marked non-scale model of the Police Spinner is made of ABS plastic, measures 23.5cm long, and features colored clear parts for the police lights.
This is the first officially licensed and produced replica of the Police Spinner in this size. Blade Runner and science fiction fans have been yearning for a model of the Spinner car for ages, and now here it is!

This set is being offered as a limited edition collector's box, so grab yours before they're gone!

DC COMICS' 75TH ANNIVERSARY SUPER DELUXE KUBRICK SET 
By Medicom Toy.

Under special arrangement with Japanese toymaker Medicom Toy, DC Direct wraps up DC Comics' 75th Anniversary year with an extra-special, super deluxe set of DC Comics' best-known heroes and villains, in an array of versions ... KUBRICK style!

Featured in this 10-figure, super deluxe set are: Batman (comics-style): New Deco; Superman (Superman Returns movie) Batgirl (animated-style): New Deco; The Joker (The Dark Knight movie): New Deco; Batman (animated-style): New Deco; Batman (The Dark Knight movie); Batman (Batman movie 1989): New Deco; Robin (animated-style): New Deco; Catwoman (Batman Returns movie); and Harley Quinn (animated-style): New Deco.

Packaged in a super deluxe 4-color window box measuring approximately 8" high x 7" wide x 2" deep.

$99.99, in stores on Dec. 15.

There's just enough new/repaint stuff in there to make it annoying...  $100 is a bit more than I want to pay for a box of repaints, so I guess I'll just watch and see what happens before I commit to buying.  Past DCD repaint box sets always bottom out on the cheap side after a few months, hopefully this one will too...

Has anyone heard if this 10 pack is still coming out?  I see smaller 2 packs covering 6 of these figures, but nothing about the large set.  thanks

Both DC Direct (http://dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=15298&lst=new&cat=ACTION+FIGURES) and EE (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DC29647&id=HA-807301583) are still offering it for sale, so I believe its still coming.

I think the smaller 2-packs are for Japan market, while this 10-pack was always meant for the US market via DC Direct.  Sort of the same way that Japan got single-boxed Watchmen while DC imported them in 3-packs instead.  Different markets, different configurations.

Hong Kong has the DC twopacks also. 

The Watchmen series is another example of this.  In Asia, they were individually boxed, while the US had the 3-packs.

I can't say I like the 2-pack box design as you can hardly see the kubs. I only want the animated bats and robin anyway so it suits me sort of lol.

Just got my Tron 2-pack (I have all the other Tron kubs) and love the box design for these (except the hook flap thing). I've not bothered with the Tron Legacy stuff though as I have yet to see the movie.

Where is the 5 fig Toy Story 3 series? wasn't that supposed to be out now?

Although you almost need a magnifying glass to see it , chase Buzz does have a different look in his eyes which may well be a misaligned tampo . The accessories are his wings which are fixed on the non-chase Buzz....or perhaps stuck ?

And they all have Jack Sparrow, thus continuing Medicom's love of anything Johnny Depp.  :P

I'd love to see a tally of all the Depp figures Medicom has done - I think they've pretty much done Be@r/Kub/RAH/VCD in various sizes for Mad Hatter, Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, Icabod Crane, Jack Sparrow, Sweeney Todd, etc.

Well the first boxset appears to be for On Stranger Tides but the others are from PotC 2+3 (they have the OST branding though). The first bearbrick is going to be Blackbeard but I guess they haven't made it yet or aren't allowed to show it.

It looks to me that the third one in that picture is the POTC 1 Jack Sparrow and not the POTC 3 one.  Especially since the Be@r is the skeleton pirate deco.  Will definitely get the OST 2-pack and try to pick up the loose Be@rs but those are not critical.

In case anyone cares, there's an auction out there for the set of seven that I've bid on.  Just hoping to avoid too much of a bidding war  ;D

is there 2 versions of the widow? one red one brown haired?

Looking at the POTC Kubricks, I need to get the First two sets to fill out my captain jack collection. I agree that the third set looks like the original POTC offering.

Has this threads become a trade/buy/sell thread asking about other nonSW kubricks?  I thought it was supposed to be talk about other series, new series coming out, etc?  Are we supposed to keep trade talk in the Trade section?

Yes, let's keep this all on topic & keep the trade/buy/sell to the classified area & all in 1 post & not separate threads...

just said this over at the "show me your Kubes" thread.
I stopped collecting Kubes a while ago.  I almost ended up in re-hab.
But I always love to see what you guys post.  Great stuff.

I just found that there were to many things to get, even if Kubes were the only thing I wanted!

I went back to loose vintage stuff, things I had as a kid.
But I still like to see the great stuff coming out.

If that was an actual Green Lantern Super POwers Kubrick i would be all over it. Maybe it is better that it isnt.

For Justin - don't know if you've read about these yet, coming this summer:

In the past, Diamond Select Toys has delivered great assortments of Minimates for the Marvel movies Thor, Iron Man, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Incredible Hulk.Well, this summer they’re taking everything they’ve learned and they’re assembling the most awesome line-up of Minimate heroes ever! Hitting stores this spring, there will be two assortments of figures, one exclusively available at Toys “R” Us stores and on toysrus.com, and another only at comic book shops and specialty stores, but both are packed to the gills with Avengers!

Marvel Minimates Wave 45 (Specialty stores/comic shops)
- Captain America & Thor
- Iron Man MK7 & Hulk
- Nick Fury & REDACTED (exclusive)
- Maria Hill & REDACTED (exclusive)

Marvel Minimates – The Avengers (Toys “R” Us/toysrus.com)
- Captain America & Thor
- Iron Man MK7 & Hulk
- Hawkeye & Black Widow (exclusive)
- Loki & REDACTED (exclusive)

Sweet - thanks for posting these.  I wonder if the first two sets will be the same between comic shops and TRU?  Or will one set be movie-themed and the other comic-themed?  Definitely will be picking these up!

Curious if any of the Kube fan(atic)s on JD collect Superhero Kubricks like Marvel.  I've picked up a few of the old ones (Brown Suit Wolvie, Iron Man, Captain America) and a few from Iron Man 2 (Widow, War Machine) to build a small team of Avengers.  I just got Spiderman off of Ebay as well to round out a full JL case.  Anyone else collecting these?  I have some X-Men as well, but not sure if I'm going to keep them (Storm, Cyclops, Blue/Yellow Wolvie, Colossus).  Maybe I'll rethink that when the Avengers and X-Men face off this fall...

Post by: Jonny on March 13, 2012, 01:57 PM
I had started but I lost interest really quickly. I have the first two waves as well as some of the movie figures they released (Daredevil, Fantastic Four)...The line was lacked a focus for my taste so I left it there.
Title: Re: Marvel Kubricks
Post by: I Am Sith on March 13, 2012, 10:02 PM
I currently have all of them with the exception of the HMV Spiderman 1 & 2 releases.  I needed to clear up some space so I put up some of the less main-stream figures and boxed sets for sale, however, no one is interested.  I think that Medicom do a really good job with these when they make them, so I'd love to see them do an Avengers set this year.  However, I'm sure we can expect yet another Spiderman wave...
Title: Re: Marvel Kubricks
Post by: JediJman on March 13, 2012, 10:08 PM
How often have they been coming out with Marvel sets?  Are we getting about one a year?  An Avengers movie set would be great!

I've had the red/blue Spidey and a black Spidey for a while now but that's all I intend to own.
