About Minimates:

They are small. They are cute. They are articulated. And they have so much attitude they could bite your head off if they wanted. 3-inch figures with a whopping 12 points of articulation, Minimates represent a new era in action figures.

Each toy comes packaged with a puzzle base for you to connect to create an army of MiniMates to display. Warning: Keep Minimates away from all your other toys. If you find diabolical torture chamber made out of building blocks in your living room or an ancient temple made out of an Erector set sitting on your bookshelf in your bedroom, you can be sure Minimates were behind it.

Along with "N" The Box, the jack in the box for the new millennium, Minimates will be part of a line of cutting-edge items of the future based on traditional toys of the past. If there is an old toy out there, Art Asylum will dement it.
