If they stick to Iron Cows designs the'll be amazing. PJ Thanks PJ (and everyone else!) Just to clear up some stuff, this was definitely a *team* effort. I was working with an in-house designer, the production manager, etc, so it's not really fair to them to say these are "Iron-Cow" designs. But, with pieces like Luthor, Ares, Brainiac, and a few others, you can say they're *mostly* ICP designs! Anyway, due to confidentiality agreements, I can't really discuss the project, but I can tell you that I'm extremely excited about what's in the pipe for this line. Obviously stuff might change until these guys are actually in store, but some of the best stuff is still yet to be announced. It's been a fantastic opportunity for me these past few months, and I'm just as eager to see these guys on the shelves myself! Matt aka Iron-Cow we're all really excited for these Matt. Maybe you can answer a few questions: What influenced the decision to do "iconic" versions of GA, GL, (green trunks rather than the all black in his current costume), Aquaman and the Dick Grayson Robin ? BTW, personally I'm extremely happy w/ this. Is Penguin's jacket going to be the same as Kingpin's in the final fig? Is the Blue Beetle/Booster combo a good indication of the types of fan favorite sets we will be seeing down the road, pairings that worked together, similar to the Pocket Heroes sets?

As much as I'd love to answer questions, I really shouldn't comment on anything, as it's mainly DCD's baby, and they're all still in production. Maybe once we get closer to the actual release of the figures?
But in a nutshell, the whole line is geared towards pairings that make sense. Booster and Beetle were a must-have together, ya know?
Thanks again for the kind words of support!
Matt aka Iron-Cow

I just pre-ordered all three sets from Cornerstore Comics. $27.99 per set. (Still not planning on buying any Marvel, Speed Racer or BSG 'mates though...)

Wouldn't expect you too Reid If it ain't your thang, it ain't your thang. Like you, I'm just glad some of my favorite childhood heroes are finally getting a proper treatment in Minimate form ;D Does anyone have a preference on either BBTS or CSC's? Want to put my order in soon, wish I could get a case of each of these though .
