Poe’s Point Special > Toy Fair 2010
It would be impossible and way too much work for me to cover all the awesome stuff coming out of this year’s Toy Fair. The awesomeness seems to be hearkening back to the good old days of the early 2000s…anyway, instead of trying to list everything, I’m just going to hit the highlights of the [...]
Joes For Tots > Sponsorship Spotlight: Luke’s Toy Store
Well the time frame for entering Joes for Tots is now over, but that doesn’t mean that we’re all done with checking out what the sponsors are up to. Today we’re checking out Luke’s Toy Store, the awesome sponsor that donated 9 Mini-Mates gift sets from 24, Back to the Future, and The Spirit. Let’s [...]
Minimate Science Theater 3000
Fwoosh has its 24th Custom-Con going on, and customizer Jeff Stephens of Boyd’s Custom Minimates has created a line of figures that I want with every part of my body, including my unmentionables. They’re MST3K Minimates, and they’re insanely awesome.
In the past, I’ve had trouble really getting on board the Minimate bandwagon–witness my flash-in-the-pan interest [...]
Guest Review > Gruesome Ghosts Minimates Decal Kit
There are countless reasons why I will purchase just about any Minimate product that comes out, but the ‘customize-ability’ of the figures ranks high among those reasons. So it was with great curiosity that I first read about Luke’s Toy Store’s set of Ninja Decals for Minimates. Then, after reading Poe’s review, it was great [...]
Review > Ninja Minimates Decal Kit
Today’s review is a bit unorthodox, since it’s not really a review of a figure, but a set of customizing accessories.
Anyone who collects Minimates knows there’s a thriving customizing community for the little block figures. What you may not know is that some of those customizers are moving beyond individual customs to making kits that [...]
Review > Ghostbusters Minimates, Part II
A few weeks back I reviewed the Ghostbusters Minimates Toys ‘R Us exclusive two-packs. Today I’ll be taking a look at the two multi-packs released so far: the series 1 set and the set of ghosts from Ghostbusters: The Video Game. I’m also throwing in the SDCC-exclusive blank Minimate with the twenty-fifth anniversary logo.
You should [...]
Keanu Reeves out-acted by 2″ block figure
Joe Acevedo’s CustomCon23 continues today. Yesterday I posted about MsBig’s Dollhouse figures. Today, along with Sillof’s awesome “realistic” interpretation of Marvel teams (today’s is the Outsiders, who I think are the Defenders but I’m not sure) and other neat customs, there’s this professional-looking Matrix Minimates line by Luke Porter of the Minimate Factory.
On a side [...]
Review > Ghostbusters Minimates, Part I
I am way late getting on board the Minimates bandwagon, and from what I can tell it seems I’m not alone–the Ghostbusters Minimates seem to be selling very well, which suggests to me that it’s attracting casual collectors as well as Minimate diehards (no doubt to their chagrin–I was lucky enough to score a the [...]
It Figures #46 > Gouda Chopper
Poe’s note: I decided to skip the more obvious, far raunchier joke for this pic…
Poe’s Point > SDCC Wrap
I’m not going to discuss what happened with the various exclusives and so forth–Rustin has promised a rant later in the week, and I’m sure that will cover it all and more.
Instead, I’m just going to list the things that interested me the most.
