Nostalgic Properties

The newest issue of Toyfare (#103) features an interview with Art Asylum's Vice Presidents Adam Unger and Robert Yee. The article contains numerous tidbits of interesting information, including: identifying new upcoming Battlestar Galactica and Speed Racer Minimates; hinting that comic 4-packs may be coming our way; and signaling a desire by Art Asylum to minimate other classic toy licenses such as G.I.Joe and Transformers. Read the entire article here (and be sure to buy a copy when it hits newstands).

My initial reaction to this article is great excitement. The answers to the questions indicate a desire by Art Asylum to expand the Minimate line into other new and exciting areas. I especially liked the question about customization. Minimates are inherently customizable, and that property makes them unique.

I hope this article brings new collectors into the Minimate addiction. They are such fun little guys.
