Well then it can be an Ahnold Freeze XP You know, as terrible as that movie was, he would look amazing as a minimate.

I still dig Pocket Super Heroes. Collecting the many and varied Green Lantern Pocket Super Heroes is what got me into toy collecting to begin with. If they just had two (or better yet, four) more points of articulation, I'd probably rate them as better than Minimates, what with the larger size and less stylized design allowing for more personalization per character (okay, potential, not actual...the Guardian really is bad. I want a Minimate Guardian just so I have one that's the right scale for the Pocket Super Heroes...). I got started on Minimates out of a desire to get the GLs that weren't made. Then I got Minimate versions of the characters I already had. Then I decided I needed a Minimate Alan Scott to complete my collection, and realized how awesome Minimates are for customization. Then, having both Golden Age Green Lantern and Red Tornado (who I got because...well...), I just had to complete the JSA in Minimate form, which of course meant I needed more Pocket Super Heroes...long story slightly less long: I finally got ahold of Hawkman and Hawkwoman, and wish there were more DC Minimates to buy. These new Blammoids things are not that, and they look terrible, to boot.

Just got the final part. When I saw it, I realized Riddler's belt would work rather well. His hip piece is a bit smaller than Aquaman's, but it worked out even still. Now all I have left is to get the decal on him and paint on the ring.

Of course, several of these *coughBatmancough* have many, many versions. I'll just go by character, though. You know what you have. I'll also be listing some more than once, because they belong to several groups. Superman Family: Superman (duh) Lex Luthor Brainiac Cyborg Superman Steel Bizarro Supergirl Darkseid Power Girl Batman Family: Batman (WHO KNEW?!) Riddler Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) Catwoman Joker Man-Bat Nightwing Robin Bane Batwoman Clayface Harley Quinn Killer Croc OMAC Penguin Green Lantern Corps: Hal Jordan John Stewart Guy Gardner Salaak Kilowog Sinestro Star Sapphire Justice League: It would be easier to list which characters do NOT fit into this category. Ma Hunkel Red Tornado Batwoman Blackhawk Golden Age Flash Mary Marvel Nightwing Raven Robin Stargirl S.T.R.I.P.E. Salaak Sgt. Rock Starfire The Question Wildcat ...all others have been in the Justice League, or have fought the Justice League, at some point. And actually, I could be wrong about a couple of the ones I listed. Justice Society: Batman Superman Wonder Woman Dr. Fate Golden Age Flash Hawkgirl Hawkman Ma Hunkel Red Tornado Captain Marvel Power Girl Stargirl S.T.R.I.P.E. Spectre Wildcat (Teen?) Titans: Robin Nightwing Starfire Cyborg Flash (Wally West) Raven Supergirl Deathstroke 52 (I like this idea^^): Steel Booster Gold The Question Batwoman Starfire Lobo Ambush Bug (Now I wish there had been an Animal Man and an Adam Strange madeT_T) And, for fun, Characters Who Have Died and Come Back to Life: Superman Blue Beetle Flash (Barry Allen) Raven Aquaman Green Arrow Hal Jordan Sinestro Hawkman* Lobo* Wildcat* And Batman, if you count being currently dead, but guaranteed to come back within the next year or so (*Not sure if they count, since dying and coming back is part of their power...meh, whatev) It may, in fact, be the most beloved of story arcs DC has put out in quite a long time. If only they hadn't tainted its memory with Countdown... Not so far as I've ever seen or heard. They were part of the famous Giffen/DeMatteis-era Justice League, though. After Hal Jordan died, he became the Spectre for a goodly number of years. That's not the version which was made into a minimate, though. Hal's been alive since about '04. The Spectre was hostless for a while, but became Crispus Allen during Infinite Crisis. And yeah, the minimate is based on the Jim Corrigan Spectre. Obscure knowledge of DC characters ftw.

Ooh, nice! What's the recipe?

Thanks! I was looking up at my (Silver-Age) Red Tornado and wondering about his cape, too. It'd take more recoloring than Ocean Master's, that's for sure. I think if one were to do a full recoloring of the boots, Hawkman/Hawkwoman's boots would likely be better, as they're the proper shape for Alan Scott's (also the right color, and even have yellow lines, but alas, in the completely wrong configuration).

The boots are giving me a bit of pause. I don't know if a decal would really work for the gold straps, but I also have 0 experience with paints. I do wish they'd just managed to get out an Alan and a Kyle before stopping. It's like Pocket Super Heroes all over again-_- But hey, at least they released the only Ma Hunkel toy in existence^_^

Your post got me thinking, and I decided to give it a shot myself (had to track some of the right parts on the eBay, but it worked out well enough). I'm using a C3 Riddler head for mine, since the mask will match the cape then, and GA Flash's chest (and boots, and arms). Since I'll get an Aquaman with Ocean Master, I figure I'll use his hair (and legs; just gotta figure out how I want to do the belt). I made a decal for mine (the shade of red probably isn't quite right, but that shouldn't be hard to fix in photoshop), is the reason I post about this. Mayhaps you can make use of it (don't forget - Alan's ring goes on the left hand^^). On an unrelated note, did you do the Kyle in your avatar?
