Welcome to Minimates Central, a website dedicated to the Minimate toys created by Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys.

Over the past 8 years, Danny and other contributors have posted hundreds of Minimate reviews spanning all of the various licenses and releases. Danny recently handed over the reigns of Minimates Central to Luke Porter, who is proud to continue running this site and working with the review team to add great new content and features.

Danny’s favourite Minimates are the first Captain America and Santa Spidey.
