Review of the Missing: Speed Racer
Speed Racer’s Trixie and Captain Terror, from the April 2007 ToyFare.
By Dragon
Though not the most popular line to stem from Art Asylum’s creative juices, Speed Racer was an interesting line nevertheless. In a unique concept, each figure came equipped with a car from the show, related to the character in some way. With support from […]
Review of the Missing: Gollum’s Hair
By Jatta Pake
People often ask me questions about the Lord of the Rings line of Minimates, and the question that comes up most often is: What ever happened to Gollum’s hairpiece pictured on the prototype?
Actually, no one has ever asked me that question. No one has even asked me about Lord of the Rings […]

By Jatta Pake
The “Review of the Missing” column appears regularly at Minimate Headquarters. In it I discuss the fate of those Minimates that might have been.I had a small used popcorn bag filled with quarters, and I had a mission. I ignored the flashing lights, the sounds of explosions reverberating off the walls, […]
Review of the Missing: Angel (Archangel if you’re nasty)
The “Review of the Missing” column appears regularly at Minimate Headquarters. In it I review Minimates that have never been made, but have been officially prototyped, designed, or planned. In this Review, I examine the Art Asylum design for the Archangel Minimate, as depicted in the short film Darktide.
I first encountered Angel while reading X-Men […]
Review of the Missing: Lt. Worf
The “Review of the Missing” column appears regularly at Minimate Headquarters. In it I review Minimates that have never been made, but have been officially prototyped, designed, or planned. In this Review, I examine the Art Asylum design for the Lt. Worf Minimate.
Worf. The name alone rolls out guttural and primitive. Worf. Few characters have […]

I, Magneto, supreme ruler of Minimate Headquarters and almighty Homo Superior, command you to heed my Review of the Missing. In this review I will demand the creators make my loyal henchman, Toad!
Why Toad has not been created in Minimate form remains beyond my comprehension, and it angers me greatly. I demand minions!
Was I not […]

The poster featured illustrations of what appeared to be upcoming Marvel Minimates. The attached poster identifies the minimate to be reviewed today, the black clad Havok from the X-Men.

Review of the Missing: Grommet Tony Hawk Minimate
Somewhere, somehow, someone in the universe is broken hearted that a 3” Red Tony Hawk Minimate was never produced. That someone, however, is not me.
There were at least three planned Tony Hawk minimates. I’ve decided to review this red one first because I liked it the best. It is named “Grommet”, which either means, “metal […]
Review of the Missing: Batman Begins Batman
Welcome to Review of the Missing, where I review Minimates that were never made. This week I review the Batman minimate based upon the movie Batman Begins.
But before I begin, I need to make two admissions. The first is that I am a novice when it comes to DC comics and characters. For whatever reason, […]
Review of the Missing: Alfred The Butler
Alfred the Butler is known as an indispensable part of Batman’s team. While supervising the day-to-day operations of Wayne Manor, Alfred has on more than one occasion rescued Batman’s bacon from the fire. As such, his Minimate form was rumored to be released as part of the Batcave C3 Playset. I’ve also heard he was […]
