Don't get me wrong when I say it was weak in parts; I do love Smallville and I loved Absolute Justice. It was great to see real superheroes on the show and I hope it happens more. Clark looked a bit underdressed in his Blur costume. I thought the JSA characters themselves were all handled really well, and I hope to see them back again at some point on the show. I also look forward to seeing where the arc that they've started goes.

So did anyone catch Absolute Justice last weekend? I thought it was a little weak in parts, and I found it hard to believe that it took the combined might of the JLA and JSA to take out . I wish they'd had a few more villains in there. That being said, I enjoyed seeing these characters on the screen, and I laughed out loud when DC Direct's favourite made a guest appearance. Doctor Fate was really well done. John Jones' new costume though - I'm not sure what to think about that. Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I thought it was probably better than starting a new one.

An unaccessorised Minimate can just about fit in Sideswipe, but it's tighter due to the car being a lot lower than Bumblebee. Hopefully the HA Barricade will have a bit more room when it's announced, as the T-1000 'mates would look great in that.

There's a pretty cool interview at the TV Guide website, showing off the Hawkman costume.

Yeah, I made a 'Savior' Clark Kent back in August. I'm looking forward to the costume designs they come up with for the JSA, and aside from that I will probably want to make a Dr. Hamilton, Metallo and Zod. I've been really enjoying S9 so far, although the latest episode was a little disappointing to me. Don't get me wrong, . It was done in quite an interesting way that could have further effects for Chloe down the line. I actually wish that Clark had been in that episode a little more, though. His story didn't really develop much here, .

I stand corrected (by myself). It's still a beautiful country, but I found some Minimates. This isn't a custom at all, but it's just a quick 5-minute Photoshopping to celebrate purchasing four C3 Flash's for $12. There's a little 'Big Bang Theory' reference in there for fans of the show. And just to show I'm not joking about finding four of these.

I've been a fan of Smallville for a few years now, although I think that season 8 lost it's way a bit in the middle and never quite made it back by the finale. That being said, I enjoyed 'Savior'. The black suit is cool for now, but I'm hoping he'll be in some form of red and blue costume again before too long, preferably with the . Also, more Justice League would be nice! I didn't think Birds of Prey was too bad either. It's a shame it was cut short, as I think there was quite a bit of potential there.

Great, thanks for the picture as well.

I've not really been keeping up with Ghostbusters Minimates, but today I was looking at the Slimer Minimate (MMDB link) and had an idea. The C3 hole in a Minimate's foot is virtually the same diameter as the peg that attaches the crotch to the torso. I'm guessing under there Slimer has a normal Minimate torso. I'm not sure about this, but does this mean that it's possible to use Slimer's stand as a sort of flying stand? Could someone please try this, as I don't want to hunt one down for it not to work. The clear green one seems like it would work well for displaying Green Lanterns. Do we know if this stand is going to be used in any different sets and colours? Thanks in advance, and sorry if someone already pointed this out.

How about a LEGO pitchfork? You may need to modify the handle to fit Minimate hands and scale, but it could be a good starting point.

I know it's nothing new to use Transformers Alternators with Minimates, but I thought I'd put up some pics to show that they also work with movie Human Alliance Bumblebee. As long as the Minimate in question isn't too bulked up with accessories, it can fit in fine. Here's a size comparison with the figure included in the set. You could probably find a better head for a Sam Witwicky custom.

I don't mind at all in fact! I'm not sure about the availability of Laura Vandervoort, but in the run-up to the Season 8 finale I seem to remember the orb mention . So the story seems to allow her back in whenever they decide to. Personally, I'm not much of a fan of the character, in any incarnation. I also started converting my comics Zatanna into a Smallville one. Are there any other important characters I've missed? BHM, if you do ever end up out here give me a shout. It is a beautiful country, albeit one without Minimates

My brother got a couple of the tanks a while back, and as far as I can tell they're pretty durable. I'd say the quality of plastic was higher than Mega Bloks, though obviously it's no Lego. I know that the tanks don't fit Minimates in (at least when they're built to instructions), as the figures are scaled more to Lego minifigs.

I just saw it, and it's actually not all that terrible. It's not great, and not especially memorable either, though. It did remind me of the 1980s cartoon movie a little (the only G.I.Joe backstory I know) with all the high-tech weaponry and vehicles. Like Transformers, it felt like a bit of a toy advert, which is fair enough, because that's all I expected from it. It doesn't try to be something it's not, so it ends up as a good fun watch. Not unmissable, but I don't regret going.

buttheadsmate: I couldn't find a reasonable job in England, so I moved to Korea as an English teacher. No one seems to mind that I'm not a qualified teacher, but at least I'm genuinely English. Twisted Two-face: The video I found is this one. You can also see a blurry pic here and a clearer (admittedly fan-made) version here. The design reminds me of the one Superman wore in the comics after coming back from Doomsday killing him; . Looks like season 9 will be an interesting one. Thanks for the kind words everybody. It's good to be back with more customs, however briefly. You almost got to see my Rorschach custom, but I didn't have time to do the pinstripes on his trousers. Something about a plane to catch...
