By now, you surely have the first Femme Fatales Minimates box set, but we know that just four Femme Fatales is nowhere near enough! Luckily we have the perfect solution to that problem: a brand new set of Femme Fatales Minimates, featuring characters from the world of fairy tales and pirate adventure! This set features Alice, Little Red, Anne Bonny and Medusa, who not only look great with your existing Femme Fatales and Pirate Raiders Minimates, but look great displayed with your Femme Fatales PVC statues as well.

For this new blister card, I made use of design elements that I had created for the statue packaging and ads, including each Femme’s individual logo. Shooting the Minimates for the packaging is actually quite a challenge, in that prototypes are usually in a fairly early stage at that point, and require a lot of Photoshop work to look the way they’re supposed to. Even then, things tend to change once the actual production materials are used. Hope you like it! Look for them at your local comics retailer or specialty store in January!

Looking for something new to park in your Minimate-sized garage, or perhaps your tiny boat slip? Diamond Select Toys has a fresh new line of Minimates vehicles for the 2012 model year. New road-going choices include KARR (Knight Automated Roving Robot) with Garthe Knight and the Previews-exclusive Super Pursuit Mode KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) with Michael Knight from the classic Knight Rider TV series! For those of you who prefer the boating lifestyle, we have a new addition to the Calico Jack’s Pirate Raiders line, The Vendetta with Undercover Anne Bonny! All of these exciting new vehicles come on a blister card and will be available at a comic shop or specialty store near you in January. You won’t even need a test drive!

Legend has it that any man who laid his eyes upon Medusa would promptly be turned to stone, but a lesser-known legend says that one man has been in her presence without being subjected to that terrible fate. That man was the pirate Calico Jack (of Pirate Raiders fame, of course), but now you can join him, thanks to Diamond Select Toys! This 9-inch Femme Fatales statue of Medusa is made of PVC vinyl and poses absolutely no threat to your person, so go ahead and stare at her all you want.  We’ve even put a convenient viewing window in the front of her packaging, shown here for the first time. Look for her in a comic shop or specialty store near you in December!

Minimates MAX: Calico Jack's Pirate Raiders

The newest Minimates MAX line, Calico Jack’s Pirate Raiders, is hitting Toys “R” Us stores across the country this week, so we thought we’d celebrate by doing a week of all things pirate! We’re kicking things off with the above look at the out-of-package figures (Back row: Nukpana, Captain Jonathan Barnet & Tom Brown & Nickolaas Vanhoorn; front row: Captain Charles Vanes, Robert Deal, Old Dad the Cooper & Calico Jack), but throughout the week we’ll learn their backstory, see their pimped-out ride, explore their interchangability and meet one of their female crewmates! Be sure to shiver your timbers in advance!
