I wouldn't mind having that option, though I don't have any real complaints about the plastic ones. Inspired by Hot Toys, Luke? :) Looks great.

On the liquid bottles, if the serial number on the cap contains "ND" it is no good for plastics. There is no way to tell on the outside a powder package. This started about a year ago and in my neck of the woods, finding old dye batches is pretty much hopeless. I know this to be true of other PVC toys, but haven't actually tested new RIT dye on Minimates, so your results may vary. Also, be aware that newer runs of RIT dye no longer adhere to plastic.

Or, worse yet, bleed onto another figure if you leave them in contact for a period of time. Dye has it's uses, but not as a paint substitute.
