Marvel Minimates Rhino Rampaging Soon at Toys R Us

Ever since Deadpool shrunk Rhino with Pym Particles, I’ve been enamored of having a miniature Rhino of my own, to dangle from my keychain. I used a Heroclix one for my 12-inch Deadpool custom (part of my Marvel Legends Icons Agency X customs), but Heroclix would be too small for me. This Minimates version looks like the solution.

Innovation is allowing DST to cram more functional points of articulation into the limit prescribed by their license. Kudos to the designers!

And if you’re looking to army build a Chitauri invasion force, Minimates might be the way to go. Might also be the only way to get a movie Maria Hill figure.
