I have decided a thing… We don’t talk about Vinimates enough. It’s not because we don’t talk about them at all, but it is because we can’t possibly talk about such awesome stuff, often enough. So today, let’s talk about Vinimates. Teen Titans Go Vinimates! TTG are litlzombies favorite, so we hooked up with our friends at Diamond Select Toys to bring you this little ditty about TTG Vinimates. Hereafter you will find words about how fantastic Teen Titans Go Series 1 Vinimates are. The series features Robin, Star Fire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, and Red Raven (Toys R Us Exclusive….Toys R Us exclusive?!?!). Let’s look in on these lovelies, and they are all lovely, featuring fine detail, iconic poses, exceptional paint application and character design. It’s like they all jumped right off of the screen!
Diamond Select Toys is giving the Vinimate treatment to some outstanding licenses, not the least of which is Teen Titans Go. They do an exceptional job of packaging together the core team, and they are all just character and screen perfect. If you aren’t on the Vinimate train yet, now is the time. If TTG isn’t your favorite show, check out their rapidly expanding library of other awesome licensed characters! Caddyshack, DC, Elf, Beetljuice and more!

Diamond Select Toys is putting out amazing character, after amazing character in the Vinimates format. Kingdom Hearts is a perfect fit for the format, and they have knocked it out of the park with each figure!

Vinimates is a line that keeps growing, and as it grows, it’s just getting better and better, adding characters that are the must haves across all of it’s licenses. Today, the litlgeeks and MUReview get to check out 4 Vinimates! 2 from the DC Comics line with Batman and Harley Quinn, and 2 from the DC Movie Lines with The Flash from Justice League and Wonder Woman from the Wonder Woman movie!
Batman comes to life in this Vinimate in his Rebirth ensemble, it’s page perfect!
Action pose depicts Bats mid-batarang toss, good balance in this action pose!
His cape is flowing, perfect, and also adds to his great balance.
Paint here is something all companies should aspire to.
Harley Quinn
Harley is mischievous looking as always, and again, page perfect!
Hammer looks great, adds a good weight to the figure.
Harley, again, while in an action pose is very well balanced.
Excellent line detail all over the figure.
Exceptionally clean paint application.
The Flash
The line work detail on this figure is outstanding. The sculpt shows off every line and groove on the suit that I hope to see in the film.
Another really nice, clean paint application here.
It continues to astonish me, how in the Mini / Vinimate art style, real life people can be so well captured. Ezra Miller’s smirk is really well represented here.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman has an awesome sword and shield combo, they look great in her hands!
Her Themyscria outfit is movie perfect as usual.
Another real world likeness in Vinimate art style is perfectly nailed. This is a Vini-Gal Gadot!
The Rest:
It’s time to get moving on your Vinimates collection. Diamond Select Toys continues to add hit after hit character, and they are fully behind Justice League! Every Vinimate looks amazing, features a great, iconic pose, and they are a great way to bring your toy shelves to life! Stay tuned for our look at the Watchmen Vinimates coming soon too!
Who watches the Watchmen? Quiet a few people actually. They had this comic book, then a movie, pretty big deal, and now, The Watchmen are being translated into a TV series! Heck, DC has even found a way to bring them into the DC Comic Universe proper, it was very big news out of NYCC 2017. That said, some of the coolest Watchmen news of 2017, Watchmen Vinimates! And thanks to Diamond Select Toys, we get an up close look at Doctor Manhattan and Ozymandis!
Diamond Select Toys once again truly captures the spirit of the character in their unique Mates art style!
Iconic “I’m just here to help” pose is perfect.
He glows in the dark!
Ozymandis
The big Oz, you can see that smug, arrogant smirk from a mile away. DST has nailed the character once again.
Tons of rich etched / sculpted detail all over Ozy, mainly on his gold pieces.
His cape falls perfectly over his shoulders.
Smug pose matches smug, punchy face. Man I wanna punch him. It takes some kind of magic to make me want to punch a figure as much as I want to punch the character.
The Rest:
The Watchmen series of Vinimates brings this absolutely iconic property to one of the most fun formats going. Vinimates is crushing it, nailing character after character with picture perfect likeness, capturing poses that are truly special for each character. Vinimates generally run about $9.99 new, for their size, and so much detail, absolutely well worth the price of admission and beyond. Check them out!
There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those that love Lost in Space, and those that are just incorrect. …maybe 3… I guess I’ll allow for the odd strange lad or lady that hasn’t seen it. Still though, my childhood was well built upon re-runs of Lost in Space. My dreams are frequently filled with a wacky looking robot screaming Danger Will Robinson! Fast forward almost 40 years, and today, has landed on my shelf, the Lost In Space B-9 Robot Vinimate. What is a Vinimate? Picture the same incredible art and design of a Minimate, bigger, more ornate, vinyl, and more statue-esque. Why do you want this one though? Apart from being wrong if you don’t?
B-9 Robot
The Good
The Vinimate design captures B-9 show-perfect here.
Spinning head dome!
His muted grey / silver is strongly contrasted by the explosive red hands.
Scuplt detail here is top notch, all of the lines you remember,
Sharp detail on B-9’s front panel, contrasting colors make the panel look like it’s actually lighting up even though it’s paint.
The Bad
Of the amazing new Vinimates line of toys, few characters cry out for articulation quite like B-9. Arms that flail was his signature move, I get what Vinimates is going for, I love it…but I would have loved it with flailing arms more.
The Rest:
Who doesn’t want a B-9 in their house? No one…This is an incredibly faithful treatment to the character and should find a happy place on anyone’s shelves!
Magic Box: Alice Through The Looking Glass Vinimates Series 1
The litlgeeks and MUReview got a great surprise package from Diamond Select Toys this week. What was in it? A Magic Box full of Alice Through The Looking Glass Vinimates! What’s a Vinimate? It’s like a Minimate, but bigger, made of vinyl, beautiful, but only the head moves. Short story, we love them! Watch the video, then click the name of the character you want to read about to bounce down to where they are in the page. To come back up, click the back to top arrow on the right of the page, or the home button on your keyboard.
Time is beautiful and really gives an exceptional likeness to his on screen counterpart.
Intricate line work and detail, watch, mechanics in the back of his head.
Very clean paint.
Alice Kingsleigh
Alice is featured in her colorful and detailed pink blouse.
Very fine detail on her outfit accents.
The Red Queen
Perfect heart shaped lips!
The Red Queen’s scepter is gorgeous and sits solidly in her hand.
The level of detail in her hair is exceptional.
Mad Hatter
The Mad Hatter is the belle of this ball. His hat is perfectly detailed.
His “flowing” red curls are an exceptional work of crafting.
The way Diamond Select Toys captures so much facial detail with so few lines is astonishing.
The Rest:
The Alice Through The Looking Glass Vinimates are beautifully detailed, well posed and designed figures that any fan of the movie would be thrilled to have!
