  1. Was hoping to see if there was any news about the next wave of GI Joe MiniMates. I am working on a few simple customs to act as place holders. Duke, Flint, Baroness, Destro. I am going to tinker with a Lady Jaye and Breaker or Rock 'n Roll.
  2. Gorr is AWESOME! I would love one but wanted to say Great Looking figure.
  3. Really like this new GI Joe set. I do hope we get lots more of GI Joe minimates. I would like to see Duke, Breaker, Wild Bill, Snow Job and the whole gang. Also all the Cobra ranks as well, Destro, Baroness, Major Bludd, Zartan and his groupies and so forth. I already want to make a Amalgam of DC and GI Joe as I think Snake Eyes and Batman would be a cool blending. Wonder Woman and Scarlet, Superman and Duke, and so forth. I can't wait.
  4. I like your ideas, for these, GREAT JOB. I would have a hard time making these with the parts I have, but you did a great job. If I were to make them I would try to find Balder for his white cape for the White Vision and I would have attempted to but the gem on the forehead. I like Wanda, looks good as I don't think we have any female chest blocks in that color configuration, so good choice you make.
  5. I hear you Donny B, I was disappointed in the Star Trek Legacy line getting dropped. There could have been so much more for the fans and collectors. That is why I suggested we get one set out right and go from there for MMPR.
  6. I feel the same way. I would want to get the full team as soon as possible. Jason (Red T-Rex), Zach (Black Mastadon), Billy (Blue Triceratops), Trini (Yellow Sabretooth Tiger) and Kimberly (Pink Pterodactyl) would be a nice 5 mate boxed set. Could then do Tommy (Green Dragon) with Rita Repulsa and two Putties and a special two pack could be Tommy (White Tiger) with Goldar. Or they could to is in two sets like Big Bang was handled. Jason, Kimberly Green Tommy and Rita Repulsa in one, and then Billy, Trini, Zach & White Tommy in the second one. Then they could branch out and do the variations of the Rangers with the various villians.
  7. Really like your GL Rayner and your Martian Manhunter.
  8. I loved Transformers as a kid. I would love to see the classics made and even the Dinobots in Minimate form. I will get at least three of the Transformers sets but really want to see Soundwave made. He was my favorite Transformer. I also liked Jazz and Tracks and Astrotrain. I will buy as many as I can afford to get. Same with GI Joe.
  9. For GI Joe Minimates, I would love to see Duke, Scarlet, Lady Jaye, Flint, Breaker, Snow Job, Gunner, Grunt, Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness, Serpentor, Tomax and Xamot, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Dr. Mindbender, Zartan and his goons, Cover Girl, Shipwreck/Polly, Mutt/Junkyard, Wild Bill, Spirit/Freedom Major Bludd, Gung Ho, Quick Kick, Jinx, Ripcord, Blowtorch, Firefly, Deep Six, Torpedo, Iceberg, Frostbite, Sargent Slaughter, Ace, and many more. For starters it could be one box set with Duke, Scarlet, Cobra Commander and Cobra Trooper. A second could be with Destro, Baroness, Flint and Lady Jaye. A third could be with Tomax and Xamot with two Crimson Guard mates. A fourth could be with Serpentor, two Cobra-La Royal Guards and a Crimson Asp mate. They could do a box set with a Cobra Trooper, a Cobra Viper, a Cobra Solider and a B.A.T. This box set could include a few parts to swap heads and helmets or such to make an army of various Vipers, Troopers, Soldiers and B.A.T.s and thus would lend this set to sell out fast for the potential for army building. This is not to say you can't include a Viper or Trooper with a various named character in a two-pack but it would limit the collectors to a large number of duplicates of named characters. Then could do other boxed sets or two-packs with the various other characters.
  10. I would love to have that job but I am not sure of moving away from my mother or moving my wife away from her father as they are both needing our support. But to work for the company that makes Minimates and more, would be very fun and rewarding.
  11. I do have a few other Lantern inspired customs in the works. I am trying for an orange lantern Luthor, I have edited my Star Sapphire Wonder Woman, I am also working on a Black Lantern and a White Lantern. Also trying to make an Indigo Lantern Atom and some other random Lantern Characters. Hope to share with you all soon.
  12. I just watched episode 4 and they introduce the daughter of Captain Marvel's pilot friend as just coming back from the snap so that is likely to be Photon or the new Captain Marvel in the MCU.
  13. 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.
  14. Thank you. I was going for Atrocitus but this would be maybe a brother to Atrocitus.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
