JeffBohn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Who's gonna be the first verser to cobble together a Stone Cold Steve Austin custom in his wrestling attire? Used the vest from the Zombie Biker, need to add a little black paint for the wrists and knee brace/pads and maybe match up the skin tones a little better (more obvious in the picture than in person). And yes, mine has a little bit of flare at the bottom of his head too. Edited June 23, 2012 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, mine has a little bit of flare at the bottom of his head too. He desperately needs wrist cuffs and actual boots. He looks far too nude atm. Knee pads would also help the look, though I don't know if such a thing yet exists in minimates off the top of my head. I'd also suggest the Mayor from Ghostbuster's vest for anyone else attempting this. I don't own the Austin mate or the Mayor, or else I'd try it myself... but that just looks much more vesty, as opposed to sleeveless-jackety.

Added electrical tape for the wrist cuffs and the thigh pads from the Max police over the knees. Knee pads aren't his actual knee braces, but they'll do for now. Don't have the Mayor, but like the zombie biker coat because it's got the skull and crossbones on the back, and that fits. I'll keep an eye out for the mayor vest though. Sorry, I'm a lazy customizer! Edited June 23, 2012 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Found a full peg of these at my TRU in Madiaon. They also had one case of Marvel 13. I picked up two of these. One for what they are and one for parts. Soooo many parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Here's a pic of what's underneath Paine bulky chest: I stole the pic from some guy's auction on eBay. And I've noticed that almost all of the characters with vests or bulky chests have head warping on the ones I've gotten. I'm guessing the heads were pushed down before fulling hardening.

MINI_MYTE Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks for sharing that pic GH. IMO Steve Austin looks better without it. I get the point that DST was trying to add some bulk, but I think the mate looks perfctly acceptable without the chest cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how civilian Thor would look with that chest piece. Do the blues match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 you could swap the arms if they don't match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah, but I wonder if Thor's hair would be compatible with the chest block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Yeah, but I wonder if Thor's hair would be compatible with the chest block. Thor's hair is not compatible with the Stone Cold bulky chest. Also, how do you post pics on here? I made the Ultimate Stone Cold Steve Austin Minimate. I'm pretty proud of this one (and I had the idea before I saw all the other pics, haha). Edited July 1, 2012 by MisterMiracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMao Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Picked up one of these from TRU for all of the accessories. TONS of weapons to help arm my Domino, and Deadpool could always use a few more guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic Slacker Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Is the Jean-Claude Van Damme set out? I think after the Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) mate the JCVD is my most wanted celebrity based Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieFodder Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm excited for this set even though I've already made customs for each guy. Interesting in this set, the Black Jacket on Arnold looks the same as The Man In Black's from Western Trilogy, if it is that's an expensive hard to find piece of clothing... so buy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
