Great Scott! 1.21 Jigawatts!?

Monday, February 12th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

Diamond Select Toys has announced a new line of Minimates based on the Back to the Future Trilogy. Interestingly, the company has decided the first line of figures will be based on the second movie. Huh? Makes no sense what-so-ever, but then again, it’s been shown again and again that time travel messes with our reality.

The four figures will include Marty McFly, Doc Brown, Lorraine Baines, Biff Tannen, with chase figures of Marty and Lorraine in their Under the Sea outfits, and a Marty in his 50s clothing.  It’s unfortunate that Art Asylum and DST don’t go full out and build a DeLoreon ala the Batman C3 line that included complete playsets.

Even better than getting your hands on Doc Brown, Diamond Select Toys will also be making prop replicas including the Flux Capacitor.

The Minimates should be available in September.

Minimate Avengers Assemble! Part 4

Thursday, January 18th, 2007--by Stephen Schleicher

She_Hulk.jpgWonderman.jpgToday Minimate Multiverse posted two new characters from series 16 of the Art Asylum/Marvel minimate line. Joining the other Avengers will be She-Hulk and Wonderman. She-Hulk fans should be happy as they can create cheesecake pinup cover spoofs of their own. I was a bit disappointed in Wonderman, as I think many Avengers fans were expecting Hawkeye.
