Not particularly, no.

I don't use them, but I do have visions of a minimates arm+leg Chewbacca minifig.

Anyone know where I can get some minimates figs without the set?

eBay, perhaps?

I'm not particularly fond of Mini-mates, but they look okay.

This was on the old boards, as was a discussion about using their weapons with lego figs. I think they're pretty good, especially the ones from the movies. I did buy a good number of the elven warrior sets, and the Sauron figure is quite cool too. The last I saw my local Toyrs R Us had the 4 pac LoTR sets for $5 on clearance, they are pretty neat. I also got a bunch of the Marvel ones on clearance at Target for somewhere around $1 a pack, but *only* because they were on clearance. All that having been said, there is no comparing them to legos. One of my lego knights could take out my whole collection of Minimates.

Azreal:  Is English not your native language...?

And is l33t speak really necessary?


I simply don't like them. I wasn't aware that I needed a reason. I don't like lobster dinners either. Personal preference, that's all.

hey guys, my quick story about minimates. i used to see them and think they looked knda cool, but i had no interest. then....my buddy gave me a Mr. T minimate. he was fun to play around with, and pose, etc... then i grabbed a few, just to have some marvel characters i like.  there is no way they will ever replace lego for me, and the c3 stuff they did was kinda crappy, but they are fun to collect and customize. and for me ,i kinda put them into the action figure category ( with kubrick and palz), and dont really compare them to lego.

oh well, just my two cents

They don't look good, or at least as good as lego in my opinon. Also, please use proper grammer azreal.

I have some limp biscuit minimates, and although they come with cool guitars (which are lego compatible) the figures themselves suck.

Those are from the first series of minimates. They were all 3 inches tall. They were targeted for collectors more than for children. they have since moved to 2 inch tall minimates concentrating more on marvel characters which appeal to kids as well as adult collectors. I'm just upset they never released the tony hawk set of minimates and that they haven't updated that website in about 3 yrs. Hope I cleared a little bit up for ya.

No. More no. and a bit more no. If  I still liked action figures, then maybe. But... NO.
