Retro Video Game Mystery Minis

Postby **Mr Yac** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 2:59 pm

so I've got a serious question here, when the heck was Megaman ever an arcade game? I did google it but i'm still coming up with that he was originally an NES character as I thought, what am I missing?

Will definitely need to get the frogger. I loved that game when I was a kid. Now I need to go find a log or an alligator to display him on

He wasn't, he was an NES original. IIRC later on in Japan there was a MegaMan racing or soccer arcade game.

Since the series is retro video games I am assuming there is some wiggle room in the platforms. Since Nintendo has their "no super deformed" policy that rules out a lot of their first party IP's as options for this series. No Mario, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Metroid, etc. Still, we could get Contra, Ninja Gaiden, etc.

Our favorite old school game is Toki (which had a much greater following overseas). Next to the original PacMan, that was our families favorite. We would flip if it ended up in a subsequent series with its own box.

Retro NES! I was hoping for Mr. Do, does anyone remember Mr. Do? What about the car from SPY hunter?

Mr Do was a serious fave of mine. That and Bubble Bobble.
I loved the idea of QBert but was so bad at it, it ruined any long term playability or financial security for me!

It's going to be fun, surgically opening the boxes to get the Minis out... :eek:

the boxes are cool on these

Mega Man was never in an arcade cabinet that I can remember but being a Capcom license, it may have happened in Japan.
I am glad to be getting him but had hopes for Pole Position, Burger Time, Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Tetris, Dragon's Lair, Rampage, 1942....something along those lines

Dragon's Lair! I had not even thought about Dirk! Space Ace would be rad too. They could easily run this series for a long time...

Postby **Mr Yac** » Wed Feb 01, 2017 6:01 pm

the Rampage monsters were the ones I was hoping for most, but Dirk and Space Ace would be amazing as well. hopefully next series.

Postby **groundhog7s** » Wed Feb 01, 2017 6:57 pm

Peter Pepper and the egg from Burger Time would be awesome.

I LOVE Rampage! Hadn't even thought of them!

George, Ralph & Lizzie were the first 3 that popped into my mind when I heard of this series.

Closer look! These are awesome! :cheers:

Those things look huge in the video! I was not expecting the size of them!

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 2:12 pm

I like how they're not TOO "mini". Will definitely be grabbing some boxes upon release.

Postby **Cosmic_Cow** » Sun Feb 19, 2017 11:45 pm

I saw these at TF on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by the size of them as well. They look sooooo good in person. I can't wait to have them in my collection!

The art on the boxes WILL correspond with the figure inside. In other words, a Pac-Man box will contain a Pac-Man character, a Qbert box will only contain Qbert or Coily, etc.

excellent, that means Frogger will be a cinch to find since he seems to be alone

Received a notice that my case pre-order should be shipping soon!
Everyone get ready to start jumping for joy once these finally hit!!!!

Postby **babasdada** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 11:55 am

Going to need all Mega man and Pacman, Mrs Pacman and the ghosts!

Postby **opopssum** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 2:28 pm

Cant wait for these to start hitting stores. I want to pick up Megaman and I think my mother would love a frogger for her desk.Since the packages match the figures itll be interesting to see which ones get left at the store.

Nice! Who did you order from?

I took a look at Radar Toys this morning but they are sold-out of cases.

Postby **Libertyroxx** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:13 pm

Anyone know a street date for these? I have a MM problem in general, and there is no way I can pass these up.

My local comic book shop has these in. I so want that Centipede! That was my game, way back in the day.

Postby **Battastic** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 8:35 pm

My case is scheduled to arrive this coming week while I'm out of town.
Warned the family to leave them alone until I return home lol

Postby **Classier** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 9:09 pm

If the characters inside coordinate with the boxes, I may have to try and get a Mega Man.

Thanks for the tip, case just shipped! Should be here early next week.

Can anyone confirm if the box art contains the character that it represents?

I.E.... the Pacman box actually has Pacman etc.
