hugo_ghost Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 hello fellas! name is hugo. found this place through the FB page which I understand was created when there were tech issues here ... so that was fun but it only makes sense to take the dive and join the real party! I guess I'll tell u about myself. ... Canadian... Toronto. Had a great action figure collection as a kid, trading cards too.. fell out of it.... got into McFarlane figures... fell out of it... school came in... 4yrs of art school .. picked up a few things here and there.. some mates and random stuff... somehow I got into MarvelUniverse figures when they came around... amassed a good collection .. then there was a "drought" and so I lost interest... sold off all of them, got into Legends and more DCUC ... got bored ... also they take up lots of space... Found old box of minimates I had... combined w the great stuff coming out... the hunger began again... the hunt!!! Now I'm ranting. You seem like good people. I look forward to joining you all in the madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pk13 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Welcome aboard! I had very similar collecting habbits as far as ML, MU, and DCUC are concerned. But I made the switch to DST a little over a year ago and haven't looked back since. Minimates are a great product and you've found the best place to talk about them!

hugo_ghost Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 art school! a place to meet awesome people and come out owing tons of money...i majored in Drawing and Painting... Fine Art... so i have a Bachelor of Fine Art degree which is good for... nothing. i mean i do art and stuff and freelance gigs here and there but in the long run i could have probably done all that without the actual schooling. thanks for the welcomes guys!

Bob Harris Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Welcome to the 'verse! I really like the stuff on your website. You really need to come up with some customs sooner or later. I bet your style would work on 'mates pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnok Rocksteady Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Welcome, dude! A time of loving Mcfarlane and loosing it, and 4 years at art school? That sounds very familiar to me! Plus the amassing of a collection that takes up a lot of space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
