Promotional Minimates and Retail Exclusives Reviews Index
This review page contains reviews for Minimates that are promotional items as well as retail exclusives that do not fit into the other categories such as Marvel. The practice of giving away promotional Minimates started with the Toyfair 2003 blanks but gained popularity to the point that there were different coloured blanks for each show in the Wizard World convention calender in 2005. The trend has slowed down somewhat since but there are usually some cool giveaways each year, such as the DC John Stewart, BSG Starbuck, Unification Spock and the Battle Beast Gator. The reviews are currently structured in review date order rather than when the promo was actually released.
