Thanks guys! Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/H5H7NvHuzt3BtdSw8 I could not source the parts I wanted, so this was actually modeled and 3D printed by Joe Dumas a.k.a. JPD Customs

He has 2 full sets of Lego tentacles that I combined to make longer arms. They are quite sturdy and can easily hold him up in various poses. He is a limited run of 36 and I will post the public preorder link tomorrow.

He could work for SM2 or No Way Home as his tentacles are dark gray, and not the Stark tech ones.

My next custom will go up for preorder in one week - movie Doc Ock! This is the one I teased several months ago, and I finally got the parts issue resolved. 😊

Unfortunately I don't have that set, so I can't check.

Here's some good news for this line - the Series 2 Box Set is completely sold out for retailers. We just grabbed the last case this morning from Diamond.

That's also a good idea! I do have some of those designed already, so even though it wouldn't garner as much interest as a Marvel kit, it would also be less costly to create.

DC sticker kits? Ok let's make it happen!

I have had several recent requests and numerous longtime requests for a sticker kit for DC characters. So let's make it happen! My DC character knowledge is extremely limited, so I will need your help. First let's set some ground rules that I think will make this project more successful. Each potential custom must: Be able to be assembled from non-rare Minimate parts Require no painting or sculpting Be a recognizable character to most DC fans (i.e. nothing obscure) For each character please give me: Name Image of the costume you are thinking of Recommended parts list Feel free to arrange by teams or corners of the DC universe if you like. I'm sure we will get enough ideas for more than one kit, and that's awesome, but I probably will start with just one kit to see if enough interest is out there. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

Here is the video guide on how to apply the stickers: And a quick reminder that our sticker kits ship separately from other orders, direct from our printing service via First Class Mail, which can take a few days longer than Priority Mail to arrive. Let me know if you have any questions about applying the stickers!

Yay shot!

These are up for order! https://lukestoystore.com/collections/minimate-showcase-day

All orders shipped on Thursday, but if you ordered them in the old store it wasn't set up to automatically send a tracking number. So they should be arriving very soon!

Here are the newest previews: The kits will be priced at $25 each, or both sets for $45. This includes free domestic shipping if you order the sets without anything else, as they will be shipped directly from our printing service. There will also be a deluxe set for $60 that includes both kits plus some of the parts you will need to create these characters. In the 2nd pic you can see how the Morrigan/Lilith waist piece works on Nekra. I wanted to limit the amount of painting you had to do as much as possible for these kits, but I figured a solid black coat of paint on that waist piece wasn't a big deal. I did a little bit of painting on Anole's arm for those spikes, but you could also use a Sharpie, or if you are feeling ambitious, find a spiky shoulder piece like the TRU Absorbing Man and paint it to match. Also here I am using a white pipe cleaner on Beak's arms, because I personally like that look, but the kit also includes stickers for that area instead if you prefer. The pipe cleaner pieces will be included in the Deluxe Kit. And Ch'od is a specially designed face sticker that wraps around the ears on the Pathfinder Goblin head (also included in the Deluxe Kit). There are 2 Ch'od faces and top of head stickers provided for either Gamerverse Hulk, Series 45 Hulk, or possibly others. I picked these 2 Hulk bases because they don’t have the torn pants sculpted on, so you are free to paint shorts for Ch’od’s modern look, or green legs for his classic look. If you want to make it easy on yourself, you could just paint a black band around the torn pants area.

It counts as one of the 9 - it was important to me to have both the king and an army builder. And there is an extra of each sticker in case you make a mistake, so you can make 2 Badoon army builders really. Here is the full list of characters and parts: https://lukestoystore.com/blogs/news/recommended-parts-list-for-monsters-and-aliens-sticker-kits

The kit comes with stickers to make the Badoon king AND a standard Badoon army builder. 😁

Yay shot!

@groundhog7s runs 8-Bit Hero and has some fancy printing and sticker cutting equipment. 😁

Marvel is my jam. 😁 That is from the Halo Prophet of Truth. You could either leave it the original gold, or I did paint it yellow for that promo shot.

Thanks guys - I'm glad you're excited! These were a lot of fun to make (and very time consuming!). Here are 4 more characters from the Aliens Sticker Kit. I present to you the Badoon King, Mercurio, Space Phantom, and Lightmaster. I have had some people ask on social why I'm not simply releasing these as full customs, which is a great question. First of all, I don't have the parts to make a full run of each. And second of all, sticker kits are very special to me, as we launched the Ninja Sticker Kit in 2009 with the opening of our store. 😊 These are printed to order, so quantities will not be limited.

I am excited to announce 2 new sticker kits that will be arriving on Minimate Showcase Day on Saturday, April 22nd. The Monsters Sticker kit will include 11 characters and the Aliens Sticker Kit will include 9 characters, for a total of 20 new characters to add to your collection. All characters were carefully chosen and designed to work with existing parts, without the need to paint or sculpt. The kits will come with a list of recommended parts and instructions. The stickers are also pre-cut by @groundhog7s to make them even easier to use. The promo images are below, and I will be revealing the rest of the line-up next week!

Here are screenshots from Diamond's showcase that showed the 2 new G.I. JOE 4-packs, which are straight from the 1970’s – the Adventure Team Box Set and the Super Adventure Team Box Set:

Here are screenshots from Diamond's showcase that showed the 2 new AEW sets, Sting and Darby Allin 2-pack, and an AEW wrestling ring with an Excalibur Minimate and accessories such as a ladder and chair:

I just realized that my response to this never posted. Since the price and cost changed, and since the original preorders were in our old store, we will be refunding the original preorders and asking people to reorder in our new store here.
