Exactly two weeks ago we were at Comic-Con competing in
Diamond Select Toys' first-ever
Minimate scavenger hunt. The game required us to take photos of a special-issue Minimate in various situations while geeking out at the convention and whoring it up around San Diego. We could also get extra points through creative challenges like drawing a Minimate movie poster for a film that started with the letter "S" (Maybe
Shanghai Surprise? Howzabout
Speed 2: Cruise Control? Perhaps,
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot?). I ended up making a
Scarface poster for our team, and you can see
the crude original here. I spent, like, five minutes drawing it, but I figured I should remake it all proper-like. For you, I've spent about 20 minutes...
A Minimate version of Scarface.
He's almost as tall as the actual Al Pacino!
Needless to say, we lost the scavenger hunt big-time. It was probably because we made a point not to spend any money on the challenges. And it was also probably because we were holed up in a hotel far from home, so we had to MacGyver it and use whatever free materials we could scrounge up (the original
Scarface poster I drew for the competition was on the back of some hotel postcard). In the end, it just confirmed for us that we'd be the worst-ever team on
The Amazing Race since we'd do the bare minimum to get by. But for you, I'll spend 20 minutes.
