Captain Paco

MiniMike I thought I copied your Black Adam. But thanks for your kind words. I don’t know whose head or hair I used as they were parts in my tub of fodder. As for Mera, she has a hairpiece from a Scarlet Witch mate that I then painted the tiara gold. Arista has a Snowbird hairpiece also with tiara painted gold. I can’t wait for you to share your Atom.

Thank you. I was going for Atrocitus but this would be maybe a brother to Atrocitus.

I found the chest block in a lot of parts I got a little while back and used it for something else when I realized I wanted more DC mates so that is how I came across Deadpool for Red Arrow. Was going to use Dracula from the Walgreens set but it did not look good to me.

I do appreciate you letting me know you enjoy my thread. I have checked out Boyd's Custom Minimates. There are some amazingly great looking customs shared there. However, I am not good with sculpting; so I attempt to work with what I have with what I have.

So here are a few new customs I have found time to put together and few I found in a tub when sorting my basement. Mera, Queen of Atlantis Arista, adoptive sister of Wonder Woman (from animated show) These two ladies were in a tub that I have forgotten about. I made them a few years ago. Black Adam Red Arrow or Speedy Two Random Members of the Sinestro Corps Random female Green Lantern Two members of the Star Sapphires and a member of the Indigo Tribe A Red Lantern, my be a Hodge podge of sorts, but may be altered down the road. Then for extra fun and from inspiration in the world of customizers (mainly Alan Lilley). The Grinch Inspired by Alan Lilley when he posted his on the FB group. I saw it and wanted one of my own and with his help I was able to create this version. Thank you for helping with my search for the proper head gear for the Sinister Grinch. Egyptian Gods and Goddess and an Egyptian Princess Nekhbet is the Vulture Goddess Anubis is the Jackal God Khnum is the Ram God Ra is the Falcon God I do have another Anubis in my Children of Oberon set, but this one is different except for the use of a Lego Jackal Head.

I would use Captain Marvel as the base, from wave 31. Just remove the hair piece and the gold gauntlets, then use Ant Man's belt from the Ant Man and the Wasp Box Set. That would be a very QC the Atom.

I am going to try to take some images this weekend and share next week. I had not thought of a cape for Black Adam but now I am thinking of some ideas.

Hello, Minimike: I found the parts and was able to finally make a Black Adam similar to yours. Thank you for sharing. I am just looking for the hair to match what you used. I used the Adam Warlock chest block, the Iron Fist writs cuffs & belt/sash, Jean Grey from wave 78's boots and not 100% whose head or hair I used but mine is darn close to yours and I am happy with it.

Great Job Minimike. I just never had the right parts for Black Adam.

Again, do worry about copying my work. I consider it a way to say you like what I have done. That is why I share my work on here. I look forward to seeing your work if you would share. I am always looking to grow my DC collection. I just need to find a way to display them without the wife complaining and to keep them from needing to be dusted.

To answer your question, I used Nissa from the Grimm Fairy Tales Box Set #1. Then I merely removed the wings and colored the leaves that were already printed on her with a green Sharpie. I used a fine tip red Sharpie for her lips. The red hair piece I had in my parts fodder and then I took green wire (from the packaging of the Plants vs Zombies minimates) and twisted around as vines. The wrist roses, are from Dawn in the Femme Fatales Box Set #1, but I had two of her so used both. I hope this helps, I am try not to use paint or decals as I am not the most crafty person nor do I have a very steady hand. Also Nissa came in a transparent version, that she was in an individual box. I did contemplate making Poison Ivy with flesh toned skin and would have used Dawn from Femme Fatales Box set for the body but I felt the attire was not plant-like enough for my vision.

Silver Savage (or Savage Surfer) I made him a while back and just found him as I finally moved my collection and parts back to my house after sitting at my office for years.

Black Canary (with different views and without the scream effect) I know the chest block is from Jean Grey as the Black Witch, the legs are from a Spiderman series figure, the black leather jacket I am not sure and the boots are from an extra Star Trek mate. The head and hair are random from what parts I have. I made her all black as A Black Canary would not have blue and this makes her look more bad ass to me. Black Manta (back and side views) I did use a Lego-like Black Manta head and tubing. I used black Minimate body parts and the shoulder unit from an Aliens figure, which I drilled holes in to glue the tubing in on the back of the unit.

Thank you, that means a lot coming from you.

I will try to post some more photos of Black Canary. Ice is made from Spiral’s chest and legs and Quicksilver’s arms. And some random white feet and a random female head and I believe it is the white hair from Aurora.

Yes, I did use a lego manta head I had in my lego stash of odds and ends. Thanks for the kind words.

A few more Customs from the DC Universe. Huntress (QC as I was digging through some parts in my fodder tub.) Black Canary Fire and Ice Poison Ivy Black Manta Mister Freeze (WIP) Kingdom Come Flash (WIP-not sure I want to cut hair from helmet)

More playful customs. Punk Spider Sorceress Supreme Made an alteration to Spider Thor as I found what I felt was a better chest block. Iron Ghost (a villain I stumbled across on the internet researching Amalgam characters) Angela the Angel of Hell Thor God of Hell Princess Diana Goddess of Thunder Owlwoman (found her online only I made her African American instead of Native American)

So I have been digging in my storage totes. Found some customs I tinkered with a while back. Battle Beast Ninja Bunny Battle Beasts Robin and Batman There was supposed to be a wave of Battle Beast that the Exclusive Bat mate was to be a part of but I made the Robin myself. Chi'Tarah not sure she is a Battle Beast custom but she fit this post.

Thank you Cylonchaney, I would give all the credit to Prowlar for he inspires me. I do appreciate your nod to my creativity but I owe it all to Prowlar. I have gone broke over trying to keep up with Minimates, so I have resorted to all the extras I have collected and thus doing my best to make alternate variations of characters or thus making what seem to be new characters.

Thank you for the kind words. You are my inspiration when it come to customizing. I mean you no disrespect when I mimic your designs. Thank you for what you do.

My version of the Nubian Avengers inspired by Prowlar. Black Widow, Colonel Amerika, Thor Iron Fist, Scarlet Witch, Major Marvel Angel, Weapon X King of Wakanda I am working on a Nubian Hawkeye, trying to find a quiver and bow for him. I liked the idea when Prowlar posted his original Nubian Avengers and I like to read about alternate versions of comic heroes so I had to make my version. I don't have all the same parts so I worked from what I have.

Infinity Warps Green Widow, Arachknight, Ghost Panther, Solider Supreme and Iron Hammer Still need a little touch up on a few but wanted to share. Also, a Demonic Captain America

I made a revision to The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Future and the Ghost of Jacob Marley. I found a lost container of parts and found a hood for Future and a part from a White Magneto for Past. Then I swapped heads on Marley.

Been tinkering with some Holiday Customs. Scrooge, Jacob Marley's Ghost, The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future.
