Yep, if you are lucky enough to get to go to Comic-Con (that's how I spell it) then you can roll by Art Asylum's booth and grip these guys up. I for sure would.  I totally like the blank Mates. I have a few from various cons that I have picked up on Ebay or whatever. They are neat in that, not that many fools have them in their collection. 

My daughter has a friend who is in to Minimates, He is like 7, anyway when I eventually scoop these dudes up from somewhere he will be totally impressed.  That's just how I do it...
