A quick viewing of the Diamond Toy Distributor's website tells us Marvel, DC Comics, and Valiant all have minimates, The X-Files, Dr. Who, Back to the Future, Predator, and Alien also round out some of the more obvious minimate examples.
And then I found these:
In case you can't tell, and I'm sure you can't, these are figurines from Desperately Seeking Susan. This company has licensed---on the super-cheap, I'm guessing---Rosanna Arquette, Madonna, and the skull bag all from the movie. Check out the pose, just like the poster:

I remember a conversation we had, Dan, about Prince and Madonna, in reference to which soundtrack you should buy...
ReplyDeleteYou know, Batman or Dick Tracy...
