Punisher Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What was the background on the Japan blank? I don't think I've seen or heard anything about that in the 5 years I've been here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That's best answered with another pic. GH, I actually find myself envious of your unproduced blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Again though, I do have to question the point of having that many of the same figure. You don't do customs. You don't trade them that often and treat it like a business. 2 or 3 packs I can understand for me, but what do you get out of having 2 cases? Just curious. Their is no single answer to your very candid question about the 'multiples',I have however finally decided what to actually do with them all which is far more important to me,more about that another day . In the years I've been posting here I've neither dismissed or encouraged speculation about the scale of my Minimate collecting but I have always been proud of my 'Premier Collection' & so I decided to come out of the closet . Pictures of multiple packages isn't going to make a decent MMMV thread but in all honesty Dino where else would I post a picture,who else might be interested ? A couple of things: 'you don't do customs' ...I am in awe of the customisers here ,so much so that I rarely comment anymore in any custom thread....there are only so many times you can say 'fantastic & awesome'. I DO make customs & the ones that I have published pics of here gave me a great deal of personal satisfaction although I'd agree they're not too technical...... Zorro & The Doctor OK they're minor league but that ol' Doctor of mine kept my inbox busy for a couple of weeks & still seems to have inspired 'versions of..' I rarely SHOW my customs . 'you don't trade them'......It's not a competition but there are only two members here who have a higher Trade Feedback than I.... Boyd & Shanester ,2 great friends of mine. I trade heavily here......I even trade with you Dino There's some great pictures coming into this thread now & I'm guessing you've had enough of the boring ol' multiples ....thankyou all for letting me indulge myself.

youbastards Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) That's best answered with another pic. Thanks for the pix, Dino! I sent one to each member that donated items for the charity auctiin. They are customs, and Luke was nice enough to provide some of the packaging that he uses for his Artmates series. Glad to see you guys have them in your collections! Edited June 23, 2012 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) BHM, is the mask on that Zorro made out of electrical tape? Paint and sculpting? I can't tell. Whatever it is, that guy looks really cool. I wish they'd make a new rapier at some point soon here. Without them it makes Minimate fencing club only a pipe dream.

That's a C3 Robin head with some tape around it :biggrin: My ideas are OK but I get frustrated by my lack of talent. yb ,I said I wouldn't actively seek that lovely promo of yours but I'd happily receive one GH,stunning stuff in those pics Santos...crazy pack .

Jay Tigran Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Since everyone seems to be posting pics of their rarities, I thought I would share a pic of my "Happy" Stay-Puft Man from the Real Ghostbusters line. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p596/Ryan_Adams12/HappyStayPuftMan.jpg As far as I know it's the only one in existence.

Punisher Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 BHM, I gotta say, your GIraffe custom still holds up as one of the most creative customs I've ever seen! That's best answered with another pic. GH, I actually find myself envious of your unproduced blanks. Ah, that's cool! That was awesome of you to do, YB.

buttheadsmate Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks Punisher I appreciate that ,I got a great kick out of doing that Charitymates' character....Reideen ended up getting it & I often wonder how they both are .

battlecat Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 There's some great pictures coming into this thread now & I'm guessing you've had enough of the boring ol' multiples ....thankyou all for letting me indulge myself. The rarities in this thread have been very cool to see, but I've actually enjoyed your photos of multiples the most. I don't own any multiples myself, and nothing MOC, but from this thread I've definitely come to appreciate how fantastic a single Minimate (or even a single Minimate pack) can look repeated en masse.

buttheadsmate Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) I'm pleased to hear it battlecat ,thanks mate The more I delve & organise the more I find ,you may have seen these before but here's some fresh pictures of Tony Hawks (who he?) ,Crouching Tiger & Kiss,The Early Years with a Dark Angel groupie & Alice.....WTF is Alice? I'd really like to display this sort of stuff but it is so very delicate it isn't worth it . Edited June 23, 2012 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's not a competition but there are only two members here who have a higher Trade Feedback than I.... Boyd & Shanester ,2 great friends of mine. I trade heavily here......I even trade with you Dino You've always been a generous and wonderful person to trade with Rob. Interesting fact - out of all the trades I've done on the forum, only two have ended bad for me. The forum has been a great place to trade - except for those two jerks.

Shanester Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I always wondered where the Tony Hawk stuff went. I like this thread mostly because I see now that a lot of the unproduced stuff did actually go to collectors like myself. Its easy not to be jealous because I know you guys appreciate the stuff as much as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Back before I knew of this board the Tony Hawk minimates were a huge want. I remember seeing them in ToyFare and then no where else. I'm glad they ended up where they'll be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 All these posts and pics make my collection look ridiculous. About the only thing of interest I have is my Bomb-mate, Retailer summit and the Bullseye/Moonstone pack......everything else is just regular release.

Danny Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Here's my Bomber-mate And also a proto I was given a few years ago now - the original White Queen, given to me due to my love for her fabulous cleavage :biggrin: You can see the paint caked on, obscuring the joints, and also the fact that the base colour was a very fetching purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I'll take more pics of my protos and rarities once I get some new cases. The painted protos are very delicate and I'd like to get them better secured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipstream Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ouch. I actually saw a loose Scarlet Spider at a con this weekend, left it, and when I came back later, it was gone. I was devastated. And now I see that there are hordes of them just sitting there....painful for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy not to be jealous because I know you guys appreciate the stuff as much as I do. Exactly. I didn't know you had those 3" prototypes, Rob, but now I can rest easy knowing that they're well cared for. Here's my Bomber: -- wait! What? Where the hell... Ah, he's out playing with the fun kids (again): Other than Danny (Divebomb), am I the only one who opened my Bomber Mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
