hellpop Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yeah, this set is definitely too expensive for just custom parts. Which is kind of a bummer. I don't mind paying a premium to support Minimates, but in the past I would often buy extra sets to use for projects, or even just to give someone else an extra accessory (I can think of several figures that would look nice with those Invisible Woman force shields), but that's not going to happen with this set. By the way, anyone looking to make other stretchy Reeds, or any other stretchy characters, I found that the elongated Jack Skellington torsos work really well (with some paint and/or decals of course).

Yuuup. Or you can do the reverse and give Jack the long, skinny arms and legs he was meant to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm probably going to paint all of Reed's extended parts to match the white and navy uniforms. And after all was said and done, I'm keeping the new Doom and Surfer as is and Reed will be repainted. Expensive set for 2 figures and a custom...though the black uniforms are great for customs. Is Anyone else's Ben extremely rubbery? Or having trouble keeping his Bulked up parts on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nandoninny Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Finally opened my set and my reed has two right arms. Anyone get two left arms so we can trade? i hesitated to open it for the longest time bc it is such a nice looking set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
