Explaining the Review Scores
By Dragon
Since first taking up the challenge of reviewing all things Minimates, the scoring system at Minimate Headquarters has undergone a few changes. So, it seemed fitting to take a moment to explain the way the scoring system works and perhaps delve into the changes that have brought us here.
The old system
When we first launched […]
Spider-Man 3 Re-Issues
by Cappy
Earlier this year, during the convention season, Diamond Select Toys released a Spider-Man 3 Debut 2-pack which contained movie versions of Spider-Man wearing his standard costume and the black, symbiote one. The recent release of Marvel Series 17 saw a re-issue of those two characters. The obvious question is: are these versions true re-issues […]
Minimate Review - Valkyrie
Valkyrie is a great figure that sports a high amount of detail. The relative obscurity of the character makes the expectations high on its implementation in minimate form. This has been achieved fairly well, though the accessory sword proves to be the only shortcoming of this otherwise great figure.
Minimate Review - Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is a good figure. The design is strong and the detail is great. However, the lack of personality in the cloak, the sloppiness of the paint in some areas, and the lack of any accessories really take away from the overall effectiveness of the figure.
Minimate Review - Web Armor Spider-Man
(Please forgive the lack of pictures. We’re working to get pictures loaded at some point today.)
By Dragon
Design (5 out of 5): Web Armor Spider-Man is designed after, what else, the Web Armor costume once worn by Spider-Man. The design, much like its comic book counterpart, features much of the same style as the classic red […]
Minimate Review - Bizarro
Bizarro from DC’s wave 6. Pics by MINI-MYTE.
By Dragon
Design (4 out of 5): Bizarro is designed to be almost a mirror image of Superman, much like his comic character counterpart. It seems to me that the design is more of an amalgam to a couple appearances of the character than an actual specific appearance. I […]
Minimate Review: Supergirl
By Brian (Dragon)
Design (5 out of 5): Supergirl is designed after the Kara Zor-El Supergirl from the current DC continuity. The blue costume looks really nice and has been represented very well in Minimate form. From the flairing hair, cape, and skirt to the inclusion of a belt, I’m just blown away by how faithful […]
Minimate Review: Cheetah
By Dragon
Design: Cheetah is designed to match the more modern appearance of Barbara Minerva. This figure is simple in design, which is not a bad thing. The tail, claws, hair, even the animalistic snarl are a solid match to the character on which this figure is designed. Another solid design from Art Asylum and the […]
