outphase Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have seen Minimates here and there having attended San Diego Comic Con 4 of the last 5 years. I am getting married soon, so I recently decided to adorn my group's boutonnieres with Lego or Minimates figures. After discovering that Lego figures are typically not sold loose and only as part of playsets, I decided on Minimates. I will be using current-run or almost-current-run Minimates as to minimize financial damage. Now that I have started to look into these, I am starting to buy up more for my own personal collection. I originally bought the SDCC/TRU 2011 MvC3 4-pack, but I spotted a second one, so I bought an extra pack for keeps. That started it all... I was thinking of hot gluing the figures to a safety pin to be able to affix them to the boutonniere without long term damage when I pull off the hot glue after the wedding. Anyone have any thoughts as to other mounting methods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have no idea about glue and such, but someone else will know. Welcome to this mad little world we live. The addiction always starts with a simple concept and then snowballs out of control. Congrats on getting married too, by the by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Welcome! Instead of messing with glue, perhaps you could wrap a wire around the safety pin, and then around the Minimate hip peg, between the chest and hip piece? I made a crude sketch of how it could look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outphase Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 I actually thought about doing that as well. I'll experiment over the next few weeks to see what works best. Thanks for the warm welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
