youbastards Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah, they officially tied her into the CJ story when they announced the Medusa statue, I think it is a great idea, and would love to see more mythical creatures added to the CJ line (mermaids, sirens, kraken, etc) Edited January 12, 2012 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hey! Where are those pics? Captain_cbecker, I'm looking in your direction. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Sorry that I couldn't blow off work and collecting a paycheck and all to get these posted sooner.. Some quick notes: All the mini-babes are built like 2-d Victoria's secret models with "ample" detail. Anne Bonnie: A nice add to the Calico Jack series - pictured are the FF2 version (black hair) as well as the version packaged with the Vendetta. The both come with a coiled "cat" and cutlass. The are virtually identical, save the color. The version packed with the mini vehicles has the peg holes in the legs badly butchered like the were bored out with an xacto knife so the boots cannot stay on and will need glue. Little Red Riding Hood: Very nice and original character with satchel. Very close to a hot, mini-version of Abby Sciutto from NCIS. Alice: Nice graphics, no accessories - overall well done, but unremarkable. Medusa: Very nice paint detail. Arm gauntlets are a re-use (From Ice Giants and Atlantian Soldiers(??) Equipped with a sword (And for those that will most certainly ask... only Medusa left the house without underpants) I did my best on the pics...

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Those two Anne's may have the same name, but they're not the same character. Their eyes aren't even the same color! Or their hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too, the skin color looks completely different too, unless that's just the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Question: Does L'il Red's hair sit that high up on her head or is it just not pushed down all the way in your pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Those two Anne's may have the same name, but they're not the same character. Their eyes aren't even the same color! Or their hair. The black-haired version is actually Undercover Anne Bonny. She disguised herself to infiltrate the Vendetta's evil pirate crew. THe FF version is the standard Anne.

captain_cbecker Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Question: Does L'il Red's hair sit that high up on her head or is it just not pushed down all the way in your pic? No, her hair actually sits lower and looks normal. I didn't notice that it was sitting a bit high until you mentioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Medusa has always been one of my favorite mythological creatures, mostly due to seeing 'Clash of the Titans' as a kid, so I was a little disappointed to see that the Minimate didn't have any snakes. I know that this Medusa isn't based on the Greek myth, but I thought it would make for a cool custom. I plan on tweaking this one even more to make it completely unique from the official release.

boyd Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Very impressive. I look forward to seeing your further tweaks. Where are the snakes from? More Playmobil animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You know, she's almost naked. With a few tweaks... She could be Poison Ivy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 A quick update on my Medusa custom. I'm trying to decide if I want to keep her with legs, or come up with a way to convert her to a snake from the waist down. Any thoughts on how to do the conversion?

Mattallica Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 i think a snake body would be really cool,and im loving the snakes in her hair, im wondering why you painted her face though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattallica Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 you could always go with a TRU wave 8 Mr. Fantastic Coiled Base and sculpt on a tail, for a constrictor type body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You know, she's almost naked. With a few tweaks... She could be Poison Ivy. She’s also wearing (if you can call it that) green and nautical themed.... she could Mera in a ridiculously impractical ‘armor’ as well! SHE’S TWO DC QUICK CUSTOMS IN ONE!

The black-haired version is actually Undercover Anne Bonny. She disguised herself to infiltrate the Vendetta's evil pirate crew. THe FF version is the standard Anne. I am sorry, man. This is not a criticism at all, but there is no way these two are the same girl. To me anyways, the blue one is going to be Mary Read. At least until we get an official one. Then she'll be someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I am sorry, man. This is not a criticism at all, but there is no way these two are the same girl. I will admit, I don't know how Anne changed her eye color to infiltrate the Vendetta's crew, but I am assuming magic was involved. Also, black hair dye and pancake makeup. But please, make up a name and backstory for her! Already regret not making her a straight-up evil pirate who just happens to dress EXACTLY like Anne Bonny.

TM2 Dinobot Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Know what? She's Morgan le Faye. After years of exile, word of Calico Jack's exploits reached Morgan le Faye on her island. Intrigued, she decided to test this mortal by taking the form of his lover, Anne Bonny. Though the wiry pirate soon saw through her disguise, Morgan decided to stay in the realm of mortals for a while, allying herself with Charles Vanes. No one knows what her intentions are, but it can be assured that her loyalties are only to herself. Boom. Fixed. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
