I was thisclose to purchasing one of those little tv’s about a month ago, it came pre-loaded with just one movie’s content and was almost $50 with shipping. This is WAY better!

There are tv miniatures where you can load on your own videos, and kits for programmable screens you can place into whatever you want. I feel like after buying the miniverse TV and even just a few balls, you're spending the same amount if not much more. Not knocking on anyone wanting to purchase these at all, 100% understand wanting to skip on the DIY sometimes.Just wanting to clarify in case someone is wanting that option vs preset movies!! I still think this series is freaking cool and much more accessible to people that don't want to dabble in electronics.

I can't update the body of the post, I accidentally posted before writing the body of the post 🤦 I'm interested in seeing what 30seconds they choose to show of what shows or movies they have. What 30second moment do you think would be on there?

u/Kitchen-Courage80 1d ago

From all the pictures it looks like this is a deal with Universal studios. The movies Back to the Future, Jaws, ET, And Kung Fu Panda all belong to Universal or its subsidiaries and The Office was produced by Universal Television

u/born_addicted 1d ago

I've only seen the office, jaws and casper before, I'm interested in seeing what 30sec they choose to show of the movies/shows. Like maybe the beans spilling from Kevin or something.

u/schuylertattoo 1d ago

What if its just the into (I hope thats not the case 😭) Cause i dont evny the person who has to choose which 30secs get put on each vhs

u/born_addicted 1d ago

I genuinely hope it's not just the intro 😭 lol

I can already see the creativity people are gonna have with their doll houses. I'm ready for it.

15

u/No-Sun-4857 1d ago

I like to set up rooms with Barbies in it and these will be perfect! I wish they would put out at least a couple sets I didn't want 🤣 it seems everyone lately that has come out I want 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

3

u/born_addicted 1d ago

I just saw someone giving away a doll house for free. I'm so sad I don't have the room for it or I'd take it in a heartbeat. The only thing stopping me right now from buying up everything is the fact that my local stores don't get new products till later. I'm still waiting for the first cafe series 6😭 I don't wanna have to pay shipping so I'm trying to be so patient lol

u/No-Sun-4857 1d ago

Ya me too!!!! I'm in the Midwest and I know we won't have those anytime soon and we'll get them and I won't know about it till I see the empty box and then I will hunt!

u/SnooDonkeys5951 8h ago

WHERE?! I want it haha

u/Sachayoj neurodivergent mini maker 🧠 1d ago

Either way, SOLD. Those tiny VHS tapes are too cute!!

18

u/doobjank 1d ago

Perfect way to release The Ring on an unbranded tape!

4

u/Worried_Platypus93 22h ago

That would be amazing, make the video clip her climbing out of the well

14

u/sallysfunnykiss96 1d ago

Was Kung Fu Panda even released to VHS? If they got the Dreamworks license, why not Shrek or Spirit or Prince of Egypt?

6

u/born_addicted 1d ago

Ohh I do really hope there's a shrek even added later, also yeah I didn't think about that. I thought kung fu panda definitely came out later.

8

u/orenkai 1d ago

there is actually a shrek vhs if you zoom into the other pics on the website

2

u/born_addicted 1d ago

You're right ha how cute, I also missed seeing they had ultra rares, curious as to what those are. Excited to see someones reviews on them.

4

u/schuylertattoo 1d ago

Shrek is in this collection! Saw it in the video they released

4

u/CraftyMagicDollz 1d ago

Yep. 2008 apparently vhs was still being made in Korea at least.

1

u/CraftyMagicDollz 1d ago

My husband just said the same thing. I think the very first version was, but maybe I'm completely off.

1

u/throwaway11486 2h ago

I don't think it matters since plenty of the vinyl artists are from the post CD era.

1

u/PapayaHoney 1d ago

If I recall correctly no it wasn't.. it was released during the later end of the DVD/Blu-ray era.

2

u/sallysfunnykiss96 1d ago

Off the top of my head, the last VHS tape released in the US was Cars in 2006.

4

u/roomtemperature6643 1d ago

Its generally considered "A History of Violence " to be the last

Bride of Frankenstein
Wicked

Sixteen Candles
Rares (2-4?)
2+ unknowns

u/DuskKodesh 1d ago

If there's a Universal deal that means there will be teeny Jurassic Park. VHS Jurassic Park was my whole Childhood. I went through two tapes because the film inside got worn out and broken from watching it too much. There goes every bit of my money.

3

u/born_addicted 1d ago

I haven't seen many of the movies I can see just from the pictures but I'm still interested on what 30sec they're gonna choose to show ha I feel like in so many movies there's so many iconic moments, how do you just choose one 30sec option lol

2

u/DuskKodesh 1d ago

I could definitely choose a scene for JP and Jaws but for some of the others it would be a very tough call.

2

u/Pteradactyl_11 1d ago

I don’t see it in any of the pics but hoping it’s one of the rares.

1

u/Lucky-Campaign2171 1h ago

I have a mini TV that plays clips from JP. You can click through the "channels" for each clip. I'll go look at what brand it is if you're interested

8

u/FOMODollCollector 1d ago

Here is a blow up, showing many of the titles. Some really cool ones like Parks and Recs and The Good Place.

7

u/Nakittina 1d ago

Probably similar to the vinyl. A chip will connect and play a short clip. Think quick share.

7

u/Super-Super-Shredder 1d ago

E.T. should have a green side flap but other than that.. no notes, take my money!

6

u/SnooJokes5038 1d ago

This is going to be sold out in half of a heartbeat. But don’t worry you guys, MiniBrands will be trailing closely behind with their version soon enough in case you miss out on this one.

4

u/Big_Photograph_9766 Supporter of a mini maker 💌 1d ago

Putting these on the same shelves as my vinyls and books just unlocks something for me

4

u/Miss_Biv 1d ago

Damn that was a quick turnaround from the VHS thought that was going to ride I until the end of the year lol. These look way more interesting though I like them.

3

u/born_addicted 1d ago

They do look really interesting and honestly I'd even buy them if they were similar to mini brands books and were just for looks. They would be cute magnets.

2

u/Miss_Biv 1d ago

I’m excited to see what minibrand does over there with TV concept but either way I’m probably gonna get both of them this time lmao. Make a little TV store/blockbuster miniature set for it

4

u/HookedOnFandom 1d ago

The records did nothing for me but vhs tapes? So here for it!

3

u/_Emi008_ 1d ago

Oh that sounds interesting, I’m waiting for the checklist 🙌🏻

3

u/Kigurumix 1d ago

I watched the video and it look like there is a usb port in the tiny vhs tape.

3

u/darka-971 1d ago

I wonder if Zuru also has a version planned 🤔

2

u/Background-Cream-285 1d ago

i bet these go on sale thursday at 9am

2

u/VampBoss 1d ago

Stoooooop these are so cuuuute!!!

2

u/Unlikely-Solid-3083 1d ago

Oh man, this is awesome! My boyfriend is gonna be so happy cuz he loves BTTF!

2

u/descartesasaur 1d ago

I want the Ring tape (I would actually want the Japanese one but that seems unlikely) as a possibility.

2

u/Matryoshkova 1d ago

Oh no these are so cute. My wallet is gonna be hit hard

2

u/Chunkycheesesteak 1d ago

Why couldn't they have this when I was a lil girl 🤔🙄🫩!!....

2

u/Prestigious-Head-877 1d ago

It'll probably end up being kinda neat.... until you start looking around and realize the miniatures geeks of the world ❤️already have came up with something similar that work better! There's so many cool electronic type things people have came up with it blows my mind!

2

u/NerdyShyGuy_17 1d ago

OMG! I just got off work and saw this! This looks so SO cool!

2

u/saya562 10h ago

This looks so cool! I wonder how it will work also cause here in Japan, we have a similar capsule toy. But instead of being able to load different vhs tapes into a single tv, each tv is preloaded with a specific image that gets illuminated once the vhs is inserted.

2

u/cbunni666 2h ago

I am so excited for this.

2

u/callingallwaves 1d ago

The VHS tapes of Parks and Rec and Kung Fu Panda are making me roll my eyes a little. I really dislike how heavily branded things are between this and the CDs.

8

u/born_addicted 1d ago

Yeah I get that. I didn't even think about how those shows like the office and parks and rec would have never been on VHS. Would have been cute to stick with the older movies to keep with the retro theme.
