bilbofett Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Luke, I also appreciate your dedication. I have about 50 customs "in progress", can't find the time to finish them. Hey I wanted to ask when the Thanos head is going to ship? Getting really psyched for endgame. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hey guys, just giving you a heads-up that my next Marvel custom subscription will start the 2nd week of June. It will run for 12 months, from June until May of next year. Full payment for the year would be required in June, just like a Loot Crate or similar subscription. The benefits are a 10% discount, and not having to worry about getting a custom before it sells out. I will be keeping the actual characters a surprise, but I thought it would be beneficial to share which corner of the Marvel universe the character comes from, and also which era they are from. Here is what is included in the subscription: June: An X-Men villain who first debuted in the mid 90's July: An X-Men villain who first debuted in the 80's, and goes with June's custom August: A late 80's Thor villain who returned during Fear Itself and Dark Reign September: A hero who first appeared in the late 60's and has been in numerous Avengers/Defenders comics October: This character was a part of Heroes for Hire and the Thunderbolts November: An X-Men villain who first appeared in the late 70's December: Originally this villain appeared in Fantastic Four in the 60's but has fought many other heroes January: A member of the Masters of Evil February: A former Hellion March: A Spider-Man villain from the 90's April: A member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard May: An X-Men villain from the mid 70's, and later the mid 90's They are $25 each, so if you were to purchase them all at the standard price it would be $300. With the subscription you would save $30, which drops it down to $270. When you sign up you would have the option to have the figures shipped each month ($32 for the year), or for us to hold them for shipment with other items as the year goes on. As with last year, in most cases they are well-known characters, but there are a few more obscure villains that I picked because they will look amazing as Minimates, and because they were in the Marvel comics I loved as a kid. Let me know if you have any questions!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 None of these clues fit Speedball! I guess I need to bite the bullet and make him myself. Not making any guesses myself yet, but I look forward to seeing everyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaqualizer Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard has to be Gladiator, right? I mean, i guess it doesn’t have to be, but a boy can dream! I felt like June’s custom would be Exodus. But I don’t know who July’s would be. Would August be Malekith? And September be Hellstrom? I’m probably just projecting at this point, but i’m still excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'd guess Hellcat for Avengers/Defenders, Paladin for H4H/TBolts, Erik the Red for May. X-villain from the 70s could be a lot of folks... Sebastian Shaw seems like low-hanging fruit. I sure hope Shi'ar is Gladiator. FF villain could be Dragon Man? Or Immortus (/Rama Tut)?

hellpop Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think Hellcat and Paladin are good guesses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 For many years I pined for a Hellcat/Nighthawk 2-pack. And damned DST refused to give us the Hellcat we all clamored for! Luke must swoop in and save the day. Excited to see all the vintage X-villains Luke chooses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Luke, is it possible to subscribe to this and get your name on the receiving list, but not have to pay for the year in full up front? Could it become like a monthly payment deal similar to like Netflix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I am just keeping an eye out for that email saying it's time to order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 I received other messages through FB and Instagram requesting alternate payment options for the subscription, so I will be adding an option to pay half upfront, and the other half after 6 months. I hope that helps! The next custom with optional subscription will go up on Sunday June 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hey @luke314pi First, happy Father’s Day! Second, what time do you think the subscription will start? I don’t want to miss out, but I am going to be very busy today. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Today starts a new subscription year of custom Marvel Minimates! The subscription is still optional, and I have details below. The first figure is Bastion! He includes a head and torso for his Operation Zero Tolerance look and also his Uncanny X-Force look, including a wired backdrop. The custom Minimate subscription option will run for 12 months, from this month until May of next year. It will only be available this month (you can't sign up next month or any other month). You can choose to pay for the full year now, or half now and half in 6 months. The benefits are a 10% discount, and not having to worry about getting a custom before it sells out. And once again, the subscription is completely optional - each custom will also be available individually each month just as they are now. I am super excited for another year of customs to start!

luke314pi Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Bastion has sold out - thanks everyone for the support! I don't expect invoices to go out until tomorrow evening, or possibly into Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigarillo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So if Bastion is June and July is an X-Villian from the 80s linked to June... That’s got to be William Stryker right? Debuted in 1983(?) and recently came into possession of Nimrod’s gauntlet before being killed, resurrected by Bastion and sent after Hope Summers. August I’m thinking Titania or Constrictor.

Gillbob316 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I was going to say, "Or Nimrod" but then I remembered there's already an official Nimrod minimate, a fact which momentarily slipped my mind, so that would be a rather lackluster custom choice. And Mastermold is the only other Sentinel-y enemy I can think of and his scale makes him rather... not probable. That said there are other potential candidates. There was a big crossover of anti-mutant villains a few years back... Stryker, Bastion, Donald Pierce... I want to say Cameron Hodge... maybe others I'm forgetting. Could be any of them.

luke314pi Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 My next custom release is a set of 2 - William Stryker and Mutant Protester! Stryker includes a pointing hand and a Nimrod gauntlet from his Uncanny X-Force run, while the Mutant Protester includes a protest sign. This custom set is a limited edition of 32. It will ship by the 3rd week of August, and possibly sooner. Reserve yours here: https://forms.gle/wNvJwF8d94n8S3Kt6 For those of you waiting for Bastion, he will ship in one week. Thanks for your patience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Bastion arrived yesterday, and he looks great! If any X-Men fans missed out on him, I'd be willing to make a trade for one of Luke's earlier customs. Please PM me if you're interested.

luke314pi Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 My next custom will go up for preorder on Sunday - this villain originally appeared in Thor comics in the late 80's, and since then has been involved with The Thunderbolts, Dark Reign, Siege, and Fear Itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
