  1. Nothing too significant, just a tiny bit of trimming around the inside neckline of the cloak or "round" the bottom of the head. -M
  2. I was actually wondering the same thing. I'll admit I know very little about the character or his costume variations. yeah, thats it exactly. here's his costume and this is when he's using his power
  3. Hit the nail on the head, methinks. i'd say the "Rest" that DCD is giving the line is the eternal rest, the big sleep etc... they know they have no intention of bringing this line back later. just setting up fall guys(retailers) to take the heat, so that the fans/consumers won't hold a grudge and not buy any future DCD offerings(Infinate justice). also did they forget WE are the consumers, They should be trying to please us, trying to separate us from our hard earned money, We shouldn't be put upon to hit up the retailers for more orders or buy multiples or product we don't like just to have a line continue. they should be trying to please us not the other way around. oh and we send a message to the retailers every time we purchase or dont purchase a product from them, guess the message ill be sending is NO MORE DCD PRODUCTS FOR ME THANKS!
  4. Exactly, just slice off the little "block" on the back of the chest piece and a dot of super glue holds it on angels back perfectly. -M
  5. cant belive im the first to do this but..... this was just quickly done but ill clean up the mount and paint the wings and i think it looks sweet. -M
  6. Nah, these ugly things look more like Otto http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=vie...600&start=0 oh come on, at least Otto is funny looking in a good way, those "Things" are just F'Ugly!
  7. with his mishapen head and that stupid smirk Professer Hulk looks like Otto the auto pilot from the movie Airplane.
  8. i dont care what the topic/charity is i just want to help out, i missed out on the last event. so whatever count me in. -M
  9. i think most of doomsday's made from grodd, i'm doing the same thing nope, Punisher is right i started with croc and made the rest from scratch. -M
  10. an observation i'd like to make is that from what i've seen at retail the obscure characters donot sell. casual minimate buyers want superman, batman, wonderwoman and flash with so many DC figures of all different scales/lines these people will never buy omac or deadman type characters in minimate form. that said the REAL consumer of mates want the complete opposite, we have our batman, superman and MARTIAN MANHUNTER you do us a disservice re-releasing new versions of these characters when there are so many other characters we would love to have. so the question therefore is do you want to sell to casual/retail buyers who will MAYBE buy the big three or four characters one time or do you cater to the (perceived) smaller group of collectors whom will purchase most if not all( if you stop producing rehashed characters) mates offered in every wave? this is not a new concept/problem and has claimed the existence of many toy lines. it seems clear to me( and it could be i'm biased being a collector) but the only way to have a long running diverse line is to cater to the collector market and maybe that means only selling through online retailers who have less overhead, if you really want to have retail presence produce a boxset of the big name characters that retailers can reorder to always have in stock(much like trade paperbacks), but only offer the waves to the collector market. any converts from casual buyer to collector will track down the waves and any older mates they have missed if they want them. just my $.02
  11. in no particular order or pairings scarecrow/ras al ghul poison ivy/ mr freeze two face/ azrael blue devil/ 2.5 doomsday guess i'll just have to make my own
  12. My sentiments exactly, i'm Definately a Marvel guy but i do love Batman and a select few other DC characters, that said i have bought every DC mate But if they are ready to call it a day, so be it ill buy some other Mates instead. My condolences to the Dc mate loyals of this board.
  13. Screw 'em (DCD that is) i won't beg them to take my money, still plenty of other fine minimate lines to buy, and i can guarantee that my x number of dollars that would have gone to buying Dc mates will go to some other mates line not some other DC figure line so their loss i guess. DC is dead, long live Minimates!
  14. that is fantastic! love the knife in the head, well done!
