Nervous Rex Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 You get my vote, MM. And somewhat off topic, do you plan on returning to the custom game? I don't remember seeing anything from you for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 You've got my vote! And while we're on the subject... I remember BHM suggested a category last year that was something like "most innovative". I can't remember how exactly he phrased it, but I thought it was a really good suggestion.

MINI_MYTE Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 @ Nervous: Yeah, I've pretty much moved on from the customizing game. After I started doing minimate comics my customs became few and far between. Call it evolution of the hobby. You never know though, one day I may return to my custom roots. @ hellpop: Yes, I will be adding BHM's suggestion of "best minimate innovation" to the list of categories this year.

kaipo Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 including clear stands with every figure and/or the bags of stands sits on my mind as a potential top innovation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
