Hasbro’s Superhero Squad line acts as one of the chief competitors to Diamond Select’s Minimate line. Both brands are based in the 2″ scale and feature a host of characters from the Marvel Universe. Also, both lines seem to predominantly feature Spider-Man as a mainstay, with other characters filling out the ranks when possible. […]

Major Spoilers posted an article very similar to the “Minimates vs.” articles that we’ve done but comparing Art Asylum’s Batman Minimate to Lego’s Batman mini-fig (which you can see here). The article reveals, and laments about, an interesting design choice made […]

Minimates vs. Kubricks #2
