Pete Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 3-d sound effects. Thinking the effects from the Batman 60's show but as a 3-d object to be posted on a clear stand. Oooooooo....great idea!!!! Especially one of these for our Brit members! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 How about some steel girders/beams that could be held in a fight? This is such an awesome idea! I would love to see some... improvised weapons (girders, pylons, railings, bits of rock, upended trees, etc) to make some of those fight scenes more organic. OH! and Tentacles. Like tentacles from the deep, called upon by Dormammu to subdue an usurper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostisfire Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Also,what about some new capes in different colours so we can use them for superman,batman,etc? And a supes head with some heat rays coming off his eyes would be pretty nice. Or a darkseid with the omega sanction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMao Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Could I request one of the Iceman slides you did, but cast it in clear tinted blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Great suggestions so far!! Could I request one of the Iceman slides you did, but cast it in clear tinted blue? Yes but it would not match the blue iceman exactly. I have a limited range of pigments available, and at the volume of resin I am mixing, the amount of pigment I would use for something like this is damn near microscopic, so there isn't much room for error. I will give it a shot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I would like to see a part vaguely similar to the Mr. Fantastic or Sandman bases for Hydro-man and other water characters. I'd also like to see a basic energy effect in cast in translucent green as I don't believe DST has ever released one. How about a hand holding a sword in a stabbing position, where the sword is pointing forward? sort of like this: DST already tackled that with Sulu!

hellpop Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If you could sculpt a mask for a classic Swordsman in the same color purple as there are existing pieces to cobble one together... that would be the best thing ever (to me, anyway). I'm lookin' to see what you come up with! I made the same request! Great minds think alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Doesn't seem to be what you are really asking for, but I am totally with Jeff's Ghostbusters containment unit idea. Would love one of those in Minimate scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Translucent accessories would be awesome. i'm guessing that to avoid copyright infringement you wont be doing anything that could be interpreted as trademarked... but i would dearly love a clear pink butterfly that could sit on Besty's face. I'd love to see a campfire, with some rocks around it too. It'd be cool to have the Walking Dead cast gathered around it. I'll also echo the sentiments for Fire & Ice accessories, but not just ones that snap onto wrists... something that sits along the ground... Something like the flame tracks that came with the BTTF anniversary box set, or the ice shards that were used in TTFC would be great.

Turtle Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 This one has been bugging me for a while. Weapons that don't look like pea shooters. When the wave 8 figures came out, we got great weapons (thanks Ivan!) These were wonderful huge guns that were held very well, and matched the Superdeformed style that Minimates started off with at the beginning. Then at some point, the guns became tiny. Or dinky. or whatever. But this is awful That's not a shotgun and my Flint is ashamed to hold that. I've resorted to using the smallest GI Joe weapons. Now, I'm not saying remake everything, nor am I saying give us an arsenal. But give me a gun rack Punisher could be proud of. Exactly.

Prowlar Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wow, After reading through what I thought was a long list suddenly got cut down to just five items. Teddy Bear Roll of Toilet Paper Tome size books both open and closed for the very dedicated wizard to study. Scrolls both open and closed for ninjas and the aspiring bard minimates. Flying carpet or a slightly wavy carpet that has a hole in the bottom for a peg base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Just thought of this last night. What about an astral projection snap on piece for Doctor Strange? Similar to this Heroclix figure: Actually, the most recent waves of heroclix- starting with the newer X-Men Giant Size wave has had some really impressive sculpts for being so small. I'd look to a lot of those for ideas Luke: And from what I just read in the latest Q&A from DST mini-kid figures are a no go. Any thoughts on making those Luke?

Definitely some good ideas in those Heroclix figures! I won't be making anything that resembles a Minimate, as there would be trademark issues.

Kostisfire Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) I don't think that trademark issues would happen. For example there are some people in the lego community who have a web store and one of those printers that print in the plastic. Anyway these guys make figures from portal,marvel,dc and sell them at 30 dollars but they change the name (from cyclops they turn it to lazerbeam). I'm not sure I'd creating the same mold as minimates would be trademark infringement though. So in an essence you could sell dc minimates just with different names. For example you could decal a flash,gl,etc make some accessories and put them together in a bag and sell the figure for how much you want just with a different name. From green lantern go to space lantern or whatever ridiculous name you can come up with. According to these guys it is possible to do so and I am positive that they don't have a licence with lego or marvel or dc.
