luke314pi Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have a hint for you for my next Marvel custom. I made a mistake before and remembered this character's affiliation wrong. He is not a member of the Starjammers - he is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Currently Spider-X is about 50% finished (drilling all of these arms is a bigger job than I was expecting!), and then I will start on Garokk.

elhonez Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hmm... Fang? Starbolt? Smasher? Those three are achievable with some clever parts re-use. But really, any of the IG could be done with the right combo of decals, so it's anyone's guess. The original hint was: Starjammer, but not one of the well-known ones. Will this be a lesser-known IG member? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I really hope it’s Smasher! I love the costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Not Smasher - although he is a possibility for the future, as I might actually have the parts for him. Not Fang or Starbolt - I don't have the right parts for them. Think green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenproofBug6 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 So, possibly Warstar, but that seems like it would be a lot of parts to paint. So more likely Hobgoblin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'm thinking Mentor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Or Commando? But the visor part might be a lot of work. Or it could be a decal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 IMPERIAL GUARD! Super Exciting. I have bought some figures to help me kitbash members of the IG, but would very much welcome a real custom of any/all members. I would LOVE to see Oracle, but if the hints are 'he' and 'green', I'll have to go with Mentor. Hobgoblins antennae seem like they'd present a bit of a challenge.

luke314pi Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 @OvenproofBug6 nailed it - Warstar! Warstar was a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard during the Phoenix Saga and many other events. He is composed of two aliens: B'nee and C'cll. This custom is based on his War of Kings / Realm of Kings appearance. This custom includes a space station backdrop and is a limited edition of 40. Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/eGgDk8JXjdL6npWMA If you are currently suffering financial hardships due to the pandemic, but would still like to reserve this custom, please contact me privately. I shipped out Spider-X this morning for those of you who selected individual shipping. We are receiving Marvel Minimates Series 79 this Wednesday - if you have Spider-X or any other customs held, and would like them to ship with a Series 79 order, please contact me.

elhonez Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Got my Spider X - looks great. And we have a new clue to discuss, though I'll keep it to myself until more people confirm they've received it. Luke is very good at making clues that could easily be two (or more) different characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 mine says it was delivered... but it was not in my mail box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 So the hint... was about a mystic-y X-villain that looks like it could be a Thor villain (I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly). I'm guessing Belasco or S'ym, with heavier odds on Belasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I love how Luke digs so deeply with some of these Marvel customs. Compared to the normal Joe I'm a comic supergeek, but even I haven't heard of half of the guys he finds here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Ah yes the hint was a lesser known demonic X-Men villain that looks more like a Thor villain. Garokk is nearly finished - I am expecting him to ship on Saturday. 5 minutes ago, karamazov80 said: I love how Luke digs so deeply with some of these Marvel customs.

OvenproofBug6 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Hmm, I could see it being N'astirh. One of the demons that helped catalyze the events of Inferno, and he has some resemblance in the face to Beta Ray Bill. Edit: Some of other possibilities to throw out there besides S'ym and Belasco; Azazel (comic incarnation), and Darkchylde(? not sure if she counts since it is kind of just the alter ego of Ilyana) Edited June 25, 2020 by OvenproofBug6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Wooooooooooh! That is a CRAZY looking creature. Can't wait to see how you're going to customise a minimate to fit this! Will you be using a more animalistic base like Big Chap or something from the Godzilla line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
