And now... the Q&A<\/p>\n
- \n
- Have done design work for BTTF3 Delorean, Chuck's response \"...we've done a lot of DeLoreans...\" Zach asked for hands on who would want a BTTF3 one and most were raised.<\/li>\n
- Digger is developing Minimates for a movie he is producing. He is focusing on full-time film directing. Using Minimates and Kickstarter to raise 25k for post-production on a short film he filmed. 2 twin characters, run of a 1k, available on kickstarter for $25<\/li>\n
- TRU's thinking is \"one and done\" of any of their exclusives. They have thought of bringing some things like Hulkbuster, not likely now<\/li>\n
- Next short film will be Pirates<\/li>\n
- Same old questions... \"can you do a Galactus,\" \"can you do marvel vehicles,\" siiiiigh<\/li>\n
- You can tell Digger isn't too thrilled with how commercial Minimates have become<\/li>\n
- Digger said his sales team didn't really \"get\" Minimates, and it wasn't until Chuck\/DST brought in the Marvel license that it really got a foothold<\/li>\n
- Jason says some of the figures can take up to 10 hours to paint, with all the tampos and decals<\/li>\n
- Little kid asks \"why didn't you put the GitD pirate with the GitD pirate ship?\" Chuck: \"Well... we want you to buy both\"<\/li>\n
- Have an active list of figures needed to complete teams, and will slide those in when slots become available.<\/li>\n
- No chance whatsoever of C3 coming back. Digger was forced to go that way because of investors, because they were going to put into 2.5 million into developing that stuff. Digger: \"C3 was a nightmare.\" Chuck said the tools have very little reuse because the actual product needs to be so precise.<\/li>\n
- MAX isn't going to start character\/story building - it's just generic guys<\/li>\n
- Minimates.com relaunched this morning. Saturday 7\/23<\/li>\n
- Talked to MLB at Toyfair, but too many licenses to get<\/li>\n
- What about Disney? Chuck hesitates... Have talked on and off with them. Possible in the future but no plans right now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
