Here's why:
* Minimates are not a standard part of Free Comic Book Day. Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) focuses on providing free comic books. While some stores might offer promotional items like Minimates, it's not a guaranteed offer.
* Minimates are toys sold separately. Minimates are collectible figures produced by Diamond Select Toys. They are sold in stores and online.
* Sometimes, special Minimates tie-in to comics. Occasionally, a Minimate might be released that is tied to a comic book character or event. These might be promoted on FCBD, but they wouldn't be free.
So, how can you get Minimates?
* Purchase them from retailers: Check out comic book stores, toy stores, online retailers like Amazon and eBay.
* Look out for special promotions: Keep an eye out for sales or special offers where you can get Minimates at a discount.
* Attend events: Conventions and other events might have Minimates available for purchase.
Remember: Minimates are generally not free, so don't expect to get one for free on Free Comic Book Day.
