Everyone already knows that Minimates make great stocking stuffers, but what if you have a lot of Minimates, and want a fun new way to show them off to your friends and relations? Well, we’ve got an idea — why not trim the tree with them? Due to the interchangeability of Minimates, it’s actually pretty easy. Here’s how you do it:

1. Remove the Minimate’s head.
2. Clip the loop end of an ornament hook onto the exposed neck peg. (In a pinch, you can also unfold a paper clip into an S shape, and wrap the smaller end around the peg.)
3. Place the head back on, as well as the Minimate’s hat or helmet.
4. Bend the hook/clip upwards, so the hook can be seen over the Minimate’s head.
5. Place on tree.
6. Repeat.

At about $7 for a pack of two, that’s cheaper than most ornaments, and you can show your love of Marvel Comics and movies, Capcom games, Halo, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Universal Monsters, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, pirates, fireman, policemen, SCUBA diving and much more! Beat that, Hallmark!

Join DSTChuck for another installment of AskDST! This week we tackle your pressing Minimate questions - including the odds of an Age of Apocalypse box set, the odds of Firefly and Chuck Minimates plus a special surprise at the end. On to the Minimates! (more…)

Just got our first packaging samples from the upcoming Minimates from “The Spirit” and they look great! Check out the pictures as we eagerly await the 02/18 release date!

Now THIS is an all-star Minimates cast! In addition to the remarkably talented Gabriel Macht this set also features the Minimate debuts of Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson (although the Octopus probably can’t double as Nick Fury…). Plus, once scheduled for the Ghost Rider Minimates assortment, the enchanting Eva Mendez will see not one but two all-new Minimates!

The intrigue, the style, the women, the Spirit! The perfect blend of Classic Film Noir and Modern Superhero Action! Bam! (more…)

Did you all know there was a “The Sprit” movie coming out? I am sure you did. Must be an exciting time for Spirit fans. There must be a lot of you out there otherwise this stuff wouldn’t have stuck around since 1940! Anyway the exciting thing is that DST is making Minimates based off of the upcoming movie! Even better news is that this is your chance to have an Eva Mendes Minimate! How great is that? Now you can recreate scenes from 2 Fast 2 Furious or Training Day Minimates style! Anyway, we did an ad for these this month but we couldn’t show you figures. Rest assured they will be up to the usual high Minimates standards .
