youbastards Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Puppet Master's Suit makes for a good base for a Henry Peter Gyrich: Gyrich.JPG Looks great! Is that a Jean DeWolfe Wave Daredevil face/hair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Looks great! Is that a Jean DeWolfe Wave Daredevil face/hair? Daredevil's head with Scott Lang's hair. I didn't feel that Daredevil's hair was red enough for Gyrich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Cool, thanks. Good point, the DD hair is more of an orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Needs a red buzz cut really, but I can't think of one off the bat. Certainly added justification for a 2nd Reed/Phillip set than just a Flame Off Johnny. (like I needed more justification, but hey every little bit of salve for the conscious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'll probably try repainting one of my extra SHIELD Agent hair pieces. I certianly have plenty of those lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aapje Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) How about the hairpiece from cannonball from the new mutants?You just have to paint it red http://minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1044&n=Cannonball Hail Ivan!

mtd20_2000 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I combined the Giant Size X-Men Colossus and Wave 47 Colossus to make an updated Giant Size X-Men #1 Colossus. ,As nice as the Wave 47 version is, the proportions really bothered me. Here is the recipe: - Head, Hair, Wristbands, Hands, Tunic, Waist riser - Wave 47 - Arms, Legs, Crotch, Chest, Boots, Belt - Giant Size Boxset I trimmed the metal detail away from the Wave 47 tunic piece, and also removed the belt and glued the Giant Size belt to the tunic. Excellent work youbastards, I will have to use parts of this formula myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaipo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Used my Bruce Banner parts from the Best of wave and borrowed the torso and legs from the wave 1 version. Worked out perfectly as it keeps my Hulk intact! Edited February 24, 2013 by kaipo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonezBalonez Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Here's an alt. version of Amara (Magma) from the New Mutants. I'm sure many people have put something like this together, but here's my version since there was never a minimate of Amara powered down. FC Emma Frost hair, New Mutants Karma body, New Mutants Magma arm, AvX Hope Head. Edited February 24, 2013 by TonezBalonez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythe Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Mkay, so I gotta ask this. Been meaning to for years. How do you guys and gals fix knees on minimates that're. . . .How do I put this, loose? Like, they rock back and forth too easily, no stiffness. Sometimes makes them hard to keep a pose because the knee bends back realy easily.

Sometimes makes them hard to keep a pose because the knee bends back realy easily. Somebody might have a better idea but in the past I've just watered down some Elmers glue, brushed it into the joint and moved it back and forth a bit until it dried. Tightens up the joint without permeantly fusing it, dries clear and no white plastic/chemical reaction like Superglue often causes. The downside is that you can not move the knee too much or the glue flakes off. I don't mind that since I am usually just trying to get them to stay upright in a pose on my shelf.

That's pretty hepful, thank you for this. If there are other tricks for this, I'd also love to hear them. I use clear nail polish on balljoints to help them when they're loose, but the knee joints have always troubled me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowlar Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I just finished a nice Savage Surfer QC using my extra wave 15 Surfer and the TRU Vorin pack. Surfer: Complete Vorin's right gauntlet, chest armor, and belt. Scorpus' Mace For the left hand I plugged the arm into the hole on the bottom of the surf board/shield. I'd post the picture but with photobucket's latest crapdate I've got to try and find another place where I can upload my photos that'll work with my archaic system.

DarthBurkie Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I was thinking about doing that with my extra Surfer! I was going to use AOA Cyclops' armor and arm. But maybe I'll wait to see your pics before I do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten around to doing a powered down version yet but I'll be doing this tomorrow thanks in part to the current TRU BOGO 40% off sale on Marvel Minimates.
