Good pic DkiD. Jay I have not noticed any change to the figures themselves yet, but haven't done a complete check.

ill check to see if the mates have been changed when i get home from work

well the washington square ghost is WAY more orange on the original box then the best of box

venkman has more color on the box as well

but the venk/wash and gooey/exploding minimates are exactly the same

They could but it wouldn't be a 100% accurate, not that I would really mind it though.

You may not mind, but you know there'd be at least a dozen whiners bitching about "They just reused the suit pieces from Ray and Egon and it's not riiiiiiiiiight!!!"

Mattel just can't win with some people.

The Minimates are near perfect I'd say. You can't expect a whole lot from them, as they're pretty simple and stylized designs. I love em!

Minimates =/= Mattel

I managed to find some of the re-released wave today. Got my Gooey Ray with Splody Stay Puft, and Courtroom Venkmen with the Square monster! They did have the Venkmen with Energized terror Dog, but I was in the air about getting ANOTHER Venkmen figure!

Plus picked up Splody Stay Puft Bank

True. I apologize--these threads do sort of blurr together after a while.

My first set of Minimates! I love em, going to order Marty and the Delorean and try and find the Beverly Hills Cop set.

They are really addicting! Minimates are so much fun to play around with, which you've found out obviously, haha.
The Marty and the delorean set is so awesome. I have the Toys R Us one, need to get the other one.
Sadly last I heard the Beverly Hills Cop set was canceled, it was supposed to be released last fall and I kept looking it up, eventually seeing some news about it on a minimates site. I could be wrong though, lets hope I'm wrong.

Does anybody have an updated GBMM Checklist? I know joeghostbuster was working on one but was missing some pictures or something. I just bought like 6 packs @ TRU that I didn't have & I want to see what I'm still missing.

*Also, whatever happend to these guys?:

I'll be making a full check list for the GBMiniMate Archive soon enough, just after my son was born I've put a halt on most of my side projects

as for the plain clothes guys....I think we are SOL on getting them...

Has there been any mention of a Minimates Ecto-1?

Not that I know of, but I HOPE they make one! It needs some customizing but, all in all, the BTTF DeLorean turned out pretty well.

They have straight up said the Ecto is NOT in their license agreement. For now anyway there will not be a Minimate Ecto1

yeah Ive abandoned anything having to do with minimates, including making anymore of those graphical checklists, sorry. no time for them, and no longer have interest.

Really? For a guy who was so into them at first, making the checklist, and the firehouse set, that seems like an awfully quick turnaround... What's the deal?

not sure. I own like 50 of them (GB, BTTF, etc) and I dont have any of them on my "toy" shelves. they're all in a box. the firehouse was made for my nephew, I didnt make one for myself. I'll probably give the ones that my nephew doesnt already have to him, and sell the rest. I want to sell my Palisades Army of Darkness figures too but he wants me to give them to him, surprise surprise.

picked up one of the new Universal Monsters minimates set...got a transformation Wolfman and a Glow in the Dark Creature to terrorize my GB mates

They are seling "boxed sets" of the Universal monsters creech and wolfman with unique figures in them (Much like the GB boxed sets), and next year they are going to do Frankenstein and Dracula as well.

I recall someone talking about the mummy as well, but I haven't been following those releases as closely as I probably should have been. I need to find a good online source for the Creech set.

I have the regular Wolfman and Creature packs. I really want the black and white set. Unfortunately the Dracula ones aren't going to be released until 2012.

i heard the Dracula/Frankenstein sets for next year as well...guess the Mummy is a ways away then. Maybe to be paired with the Invisible Man?

currently putting Wolfman parts on Marty McFly mate and reenacting scenes from Teen Wolf

I wnt to boxed creech set because it comes with the regular and glow creech, plus the underwater guy, and the exclusive boxed set girl.

I hope you guys are ready!

Oh I cannot wait for that!

These are gonna be sweet.

Hell yes!

here goes the neighborhood

Does a happy dance!
