Nice! Though, I wonder why they are doing Perch Perkins instead of secondary characters like Mrs Puff?

Sweet. I don't have any minimates, but I might get these. Never imagined that Diamond Select would do these.

Awesome! I hope they come with a bunch of accessories. For example
Sandy- Swapable Karate Gloves
SpongeBob- Jellyfishing Net, Gary, or Spatula
Patrick- Secret Box, Rocky, or Krabby Patty
Squidward- Clarinet and maybe Snellie
Mr. Krabs- Looks like a money bag, but Plankton or Krabby Patty formula would be preferred
Grandpa Redbeard- Treasure Chest
Perch Perkins- Microphone of course
I would love other two-packs as well like-
Mermaid Man and Man Ray
Barnacle Boy and Dirty Bubble
Larry the Lobster and Pearl
Mrs. Puff and Karen
Squilliam and Band Geeks Squidward
DoodleBob and Flying Dutchman
Bubble Bass and Flats
King Neptune and Mindy
Patchy and Potty.
Yep... I would love those.

Yep. I would also love to see SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward as their I.J.L.S.A. superhero counterparts.

Press release (gallery of images below article):

Diamond Select Toys Reteams with Nickelodeon on SpongeBob SquarePants Minimates

Following the successful launch of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collection, Diamond Select Toys announced today the expansion of its Nickelodeon partnership with the release of a brand-new SpongeBob SquarePants Minimates line. The collection will include SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Grandpa Redbeard, Perch Perkins and Plankton designed as 2-inch-tall mini-figures with multiple points of articulation and interchangeable parts and accessories.

The long-running animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants, has been a hit for kids and adults since its debut, and is still going strong with new episodes in the works and a hit movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, in theaters now.

“Most cartoons come and go, but SpongeBob has truly become an institution,” said Chuck Terceira, President of Diamond Select Toys. “The kids who were raised on him are joining the adults who’ve always loved him, and we’re creating some great toys that are fun for the collectors, as well as for the kids who are just meeting him for the first time. We’ve definitely had fun adapting the Minimates block figure style to crabs and squid and starfish!”

The first assortment of SpongeBob SquarePants Minimates will be available starting this week at comic book shops, specialty stores and Toys“R”Us.

I LOVE Perch Perkins! It's cool they're doing him in 'both' of his suits. I gotta get these!

Yes, I agree with those who think Plankton, Mrs. Puff, and Gary should round out the set. (You could go all the way and include Pearl and Karen, too.)
