NerdyTrev Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just now, Mnemosis said: I personally don't think he's any shorter than Wolverine or Puck. Slipper shoes? Maybe. But not kid limbs. Well....... I'll give you that he's same size as Wolvie, but Puck is quite literally a Dwarf. We're talking Oompa Loompa size. I trust DST will make the right choices considering the fact that we've been promised a toad for years (see that poster for details). Personally, I just wanna try and make sure that he can be as short as possible when in crouching position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's listed as 5'8" and 260 pounds in the Official Handbook of The Marvel Universe. Edited May 22, 2017 by suicidewatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yeah - I don't need him to be made kid sized, but I do take your point about making him look appropriately 'crouchy'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they did something like a plastic holder for his head so he could look like this but real: I think one of the talented guys here did a Shaman with his legs crossed that was also cool.

Mnemosis Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I did a lotus position Dr. Strange and would LOVE to see a set of special crouched legs for Toad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 If spiderman can't reach a crouched position, why would we think toad will be able to? Put him on standard body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I've never had an issue making Minimates crouch. They can even usually do it without the need of a stand, too. No, it's not calf-meeting-back-of-thigh crouching, but it still works for block figures of Wolverine or Spider-Man or anyone else I feel needs to pose like that.

Yeah exactly, but it sounds like people wants that extreme crouching. I've got no problems with how Minimates crouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I don't have a single problem with how Minimates crouch, but I just want Toad to be shorter when he does so. I'm fine with getting him as a standard figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Deja vu ? I shut up before ...if..... we get Toad then I really want Toad to be able to crouch . This would mean a calf-meeting-back-of-thigh crouch which ...if you insist...is 'extreme' crouching . TBQH F*ck the Toad... after 14 years of Marvel Minimates & 75 variants I wouldn't mind just one Spider-Man that could crouch extremely properly.

Heinous Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yeah but once you find a way to do that, people won't stop. All the sudden they are gonna want ankle pivots and bicep swivels and chest articulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Why not just an alternate, non-articulated lower body in the crouch position? And as far as Spidey is concerned, give me thwip hands first. How do we not have these yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnemosis Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I agree, the crouch legs should be a solid lower body piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 At this stage, if we get a great looking purple and orange costumed toad (or green and orange, as he was often shown) with his ridiculous circus jester look, I'll be happy to make him crouch using regular legs. My biggest fear is that with all this talk of Toad, we've assumed he's a lock... and he might not even be in the set at all. Let's not count our unarticulated croushed leg pieces till they've hatched, shall we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
