Hollywood Video Package and Updates to Summary

Start keeping your eyes open for the above package of Street Fighter Minimates at your local Hollywood Video. This appears to be a change from the advertisement inside the front cover of ToyFare (#101) which says the Street Fighter Minimates will be available at Blockbuster Video (and in stores December 2005). It could also mean Minimates will appear at both stores with perhaps the regular series being at Blockbuster.

Updates to Yesterday's Summary

Divebomb does it best with his News link and overview of the Minimates here. (Don't tell Magneto I wrote that).

Item #4: New Professor X or black clad Cyclops without yellow wristbands? MiniFiend UK and AdyCarter make persuasive arguments that the AFX photo is indeed Cyclops. My own examination of the photo under Photoshop seems to confirm MiniFiend UKs analysis. I suspect the glare from the flash distorted the image of the Cyclops figure's face based upon the color of the pixel. And the wristband is probably a prototype variance as AdyCarter suggested.

Item #8: Blind packaging seems to be the route being developed as suggested in the audio review (podcast) from Raving Toy Maniac located here. Please note: I still need to review the podcast to confirm the details. AdyCarter and Samwise Gamgee get the thanks for this info.

Item #9: Yes, I'm at fault for spreading this rumor. The $42.50 price seems to be the price for retailers, not the new retail price as indicated. Thanks to AdyCarter for correcting this rumor 200,000,000 times.

New stuff:

11. Yes, you can find the Street Fighter Minimates fighting it out on a warehouse dock here.

12. Kirby's apparent pact with the devil paid off because he landed the first package of Street Fighter Minimates here. (Great pics btw).

13. The photo from found here shows a top shelf with new Marvel Minimates. The shelf below is the previously discussed Kitty Pride shelf. Any speculation on what that top shelf contains?

14. The euphoria is starting to wear off so let me be the first to complain about not having a Thor Minimate, more DC Minimates, and new Star Trek 2" Minimates. (Just kidding!!!!)
