Although I agree that DC Minimates died an early death. I kind of like the Cosbaby Batman character figures.
Me too! I wish I knew of a shop that carried that locally for a decent price. I would like both Batmans, Batgirl and Catwoman.

my guess is that although there is a vocal demand for Mini Mates, the actual sales were not there to continue the line.
Maybe. And that could be because DC Direct did the line no favors with the last wave, Wave 8, and the Red Son Superman & Wonder Womans set and the '52' Batwoman & Montoya The Question set. I only bought those in hopes of keeping the line alive. All the other waves were good, even with the Battle Damaged space fillers.
I always wonder if sales were not good enough to continue the Justice line (the Ross JSA is an extension of it, not a continuation). Yet another DC Direct line ruined with questionable character selections.
At least they do import the Hot Toys product, even if it does compete against their own product.
