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. 

thanks!

Thanks!

Awesome work, specially Sandman, Death and the Silverhawks!

Thank you!

I heard the Sandman audiobook and became inspired by the fact that we would likely never see 'mates from this series.

I have been a Silverhawk fan since I was a kid. Here's hoping that the new licenses expand to other titles.

@Padrino, these are all awesome QCs! I love the Silverhawks so much! I have a soft spot for my childhood cartoons. May I ask what head you used for Hellstrom?

I've been racking my brain since you asked me this. I had it in my parts bin. I can't remember where it came from. Now, it's all I'm going to be able to think about! 

I'm genuinely annoyed at the lack of minimates for this amazing show. So I attempted to make my own:

The Scarlet Witch

White Vision (it's a really silly QC but there were limited options)

This minimate drought has inspired me to make some more quick customs

Hellstrom and a potential MCU-ish Hellcat 

First Appearance Moonstone

A

Armored Spectrum (or Photon or whatever she is calling herself these days)

Imperial Guard Oracle

Captain Britain 

Morpheus the Sandman of the Endless

The many faces of Death of the Endless

Knightmare Superman

Silverhawks

Well done! Loved both of these shows as a kid!

Hopefully, Lady Jaye is in the boxed set or that would be a missed opportunity

I've been a proponent of a Hellions "army builder" -- it would just have the alternate heads & gear to do Jetstream, Empath and Thunderbird (Warpath).

Pack that with a female version of the costume with alt heads & gear for Roulette, Catseye & Tarot. 

Catseye would need another figure for her cat form, but the above would be drive the hardcore x-collectors to buy 3x each.

this would be amazing!

Man I’d do anything for a Portal minimate, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do a custom or have one commissioned especially now that we have the Darkhawk head piece

I started one with a guardsman minimate and vulture wings. the helmet almost passes. Then maybe gold pieces from the red king's armor?

sorry, fraternity of raptors. The original series had other darkhawk armors in different colors 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Charles_Little_Sky_(Earth-616)

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Kistur_(Earth-616)

Shi'ar soldiers

Skrull Soldiers

Shield Soldiers

Amazons (generic figures to not antagonize DC)

Brotherhood of Raptors (in different colors)

The list goes on..., I would be on board for all of them

These do not seem to be available in the US at all.

Since September is almost over, is wave 80 possibly coming out in October?  Also since Halloween is around the corner, will we possibly see a zombie box set? Since marvel has been or is about to release monster varient covers could we see a box set like Cyclops as Frankenstein or Storm as a Vampire?

Hey@DSTZach, Just to follow up. Any word on a release date for this set? I see some retailers listing September/October 2020. 

This is amazing!

Padrino,

I used imgur.com that was suggested to me by TENIME_art.  It is free and I think it is allowing my updated images to be seen.  I have only updated a few photos in some of my posts to date but I think it works fine.

Thanks!

 I just don't have a great means to include photos as I am thinking Google Photos don't show up to all in this forum.
 

Was just coming here to ask this same questions. Does anyone know of a (free) photo hosting site to show customs?

If it wasn't for the kindness of collectors, I probably wouldn't have half the Walgreens Minimates. I know they want inventory to drive traffic to brick & mortar locations but I wish they'd offer them online with a free ship-to-store option. 

I agree. I mostly see animated 'mates but nearly never see movie figures in my local stores, and there are 3 in my immediate vicinity!

Are they sold out? Or did they just not order at all?

Or is this likely related to the fact that everything slowed due to COVID?
