MINI_MYTE Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Firestar is an awesome improvement over the official release. It bugged me as well how DST released her wearing her newer mask with her classic costume. Your custom is spot on beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I' not the only one who found the previous Firestar a bit annoying. I will have this version displayed with my Avengers and the classic version (when finished) with either Spidey or the X-Men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have this version displayed with my Avengers and the classic version (when finished) with either Spidey or the X-Men. Every time a Firestar figure is made (in any toyline), they opt for the original costume and it bugs me, because I found her storyline much more interesting when she was an Avenger. I like your version better... and I'm in love with that Blob! Great work again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyguy Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the comments! Have just managed to finish Toad. I looked at lots of designs and customs on here for ideas, bobafett, youbastards amongst others. Also thanks for the Hulk hair suggestion from Binaryan. The next customs are a bit out of date, but I remember seing some Dark X-Men in process on the boards, and I wanted to make my own. Here's Emma Frost in her black costume. I know the jacket isn't comic-accurate, but I liked the fur-trimmed collar. It's from Lady Loki. Next is Dagger. I took the photo and then realised I hadn't painted her neck yet. She does have little x's on the sides of her legs too, but I couldn't get a god photo. Have got Cloak and Mimic in the works. Finally is Namor. The blue actually matches better than in the photo. I just need to draw some scales on his legs. Thanks again for looking! Edited November 15, 2010 by Psyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ahh minimate Toad the final unopened seal that on his official arrival will bring about the end of days for us all. Anyway very good custom work as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 very like these, good work. is the piece around Toad's neck completely sculpted, or have you altered something which pre-existed? the jacket piece on Emma works really well, certainly seems like something she'd wear, the hair suits her, and the detail on the chest block is fantastic.

Psyguy Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thanks! The neck piece on Toad started out as a Wasp/Molecule Man "V" piece. I was using it for something else which went wrong, so I cut out the front and back V's to leave a base that I could sculp all the little squares onto. Most of what is seen is sculpted, it's just the base that already existed. It was really annoying to do, probably why he has taken me so long to finish.

Nessex Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Bang!!! Another great set mate! Love you're emma frost. After looking at the covers for Dark K-Men. . . i think she is spot-on! EDIT: I think the boots are a great choice for Toad too. he might have looked a little less jester-like, or a little too plain without them. A+.

Psyguy Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks everyone. I just finished Avalanche. Thanks to bobafett for his design on the board, was a huge help. Here is my Brotherhood photographed together. Here is Banshee, who I have been working on for a while. His collar is cut from a Wolverine Patch mate and was glued to a Photon cape piece (thanks youbastards). The hair is modified from Captain Marvel. Thanks again!

dj87 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 oh, those look incredible together.. why more of that lot haven't had official releases in entirely beyond me. When I do get around to making mine, I'd be delighted if they looked half as sexy! (My Avalanche is sitting in a bag, sprayed white... feeling neglected, poor fella) Ha, and that Banshee is wonderful, would you believe I've done a design with an almost identical recipe? Really like the collar as well, I'd been thinking of using a Deadman piece. thanks for the kudos, appreciate it chief. I can't stop looking at the Brotherhood pic... don't suppose you could put up a picture with Magneto out front, would love to see what that'd look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Once again, awesome work. You character selection is always impeccable and your execution is so crisp & clean. Banshee really does look stellar. you should pose him for some shots with the GSXM box set if you have them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Looks great, Psyguy! Can you please post a picture of the back of Banshee's cape? I'm in the middle of the same custom (and another for Siryn) and really having a tough time trying to figure out how to paint the damn thing...

Psyguy Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Thanks! Here's the Brotherhood with Magneto (Heroes Box set), requested by bobafett. I can believe you were designing a similar Banshee too, we seem to have pretty similar ideas about some customs! Here's Jean, Sunfire and Banshee with the GSXM box set. As for the back of Banshee's cape, I have to come clean and admit I haven't painted it yet, youbastards. Probably because I am having the same problems as you. Maybe if one of comes up with a solution we can help each other out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to tape it off, but I couldn't get the lines to look right, but I just tried using the tape for the first time. Oh, and where's Nightcrawler!?!?!

Psyguy Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oh yeah, I forgot Kurt! He is with my Excalibur mates until the new set comes out. On Banshee I made a decal for the inside of his cape, I was thinking of just enlarging it a little and trying it out on the back. Once I have had a go I will post a pic, then if it's any good I will just send you the decal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yes, Marvel Girl is really terrific. I agree with you that the mask size works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Wow. Amazing work all the way around. I really hope DST is watching, because bright, colorful, iconic figures like that are what make Minimates worth collecting. Not Halo.

Nessex Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Sensational. Seriously Awesome! These are my new wallpaper on my work PC. Seriously? Why doesn't DST get these out? Am i too big a Fan Boy for X that i'm blinded to the reality that they would be crummy minimates? or slow sellers? Ah . . . NO! Psyguy has well and truly prooved otherwise. 10/10 EDIT: Sorry about my poor english skills and various typos there. I am just so excited to see such classic X characters brought to life in Minimate form that spelling, grammar & word flow become lesser priorities.

Chazwinski Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 My only question is why DST hasn't made any more Brotherhood of Mutants figures or Banshee & Classic Sunfire. Surely they realize that these would sell well? At least in my case. I'm not coughing up any more money for Captain Americas, Hulks, or Spider-men. Anyway, great job as usual!

Trekker 42 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 They look... so official... seriously why haven't these been made yet!? It's simple. TRU two packs: Blob and Toad, Pyro and Avalanche, blue girl that isn't Mystique (Sorry, I'm no X-fan) and a remade Mystique of some sort. There ya have it: The Brotherhood Complete.
