This is my entry

Its something i had to make for school and it was about Minimates and the Multiverse.

It is a kind of folder and it shows both sides of the folder, one side is informative text about 'Mates and the 'Verse and the other side is suppose to be fordable into the MMMV logo.

I made this because the 10 year anniversary of Minimates was coming up and i wanted to let the rest of my class learn more about the figures.

So this is it.

The text is small because it has to be printed in A3, but with the PDF you can zoom in.

Since I was four

I have been sure

that these little things

would last

I still don't have one

but soon that will change

and my collection

will have range

As we both have grown

You have shown

that everyone

can grow big

And now you are ten

while I sit in my den

I write you this poem

And this is the end

Happy Birthday Minimates

oops forgot to do this, this is my entry

yeah lets see, by my standards

1st Ivan

My Official Entry :-

I'VE JUST SEEN SOME MAJOR TYPOS. PLEASE IGNORE THEM. :P

Vorin's End

Vorin's End is a tale of self-discovery, prophecy and most of all carnage. This is my first ever contest entry and I hope you all like it. I figured due to the prizes in the contest as well as the hype behind the Battle Beasts line they would be good minimates to use. Here we go! Also this was finished before Digger and Agent 88 succeeded with the kickstarter.

Alright, after a ton of work here's my entry.

What I love to do in my collecting hobby is repainting custom figures. And since I started collecting minimates a couple years ago, something that really struck me is the level of detail that minimates have. So, I decided that I wanted to celebrate 10 years of minimates by doing a repaint for 10 different francises/lines that the minimates have covered, showing off the detail and variety of characters that minimates have covered in that 10 years. For the 10 franchises, I decided on: Marvel, DC, Battle Beasts, MAX, Universal Monsters, Halo, Star Trek, Sony, Capcom and Battlestar Galactica. So I went on a massive painting spree, and painted one figure for each line, with the exception of Marvel. Since Marvel has become such a tent pole license for Minimates, I decided to do the two most prolific characters, Spider Man and Iron Man. It's been a whole bunch of time at the painting bench. Well, with that, I'll get to the photos. I hope you guys enjoy.

Took me a good while to figure this out. I'm glad the entries are allowed to be anything really. Because I've never been much for making custom figures. However I do love coming up with creative ideas. I could talk a whole lot about it, but really I think it speaks for itself. Here's my official entry

I'm glad I'm not guilty of any of those things Lurch... :whistling:

Here's my attempt at an entry. It's 'Celebrity SHIELD Class of 2012'

post-333-0-97408200-1346777489_thumb.jpg

I wanted to pay tribute to many of the awesome, wide-spanning celebrity likenesses that have appeared in Minimate form over the last ten years. Sadly, my photo skills kept me from getting a very clear picture, but you'll see more later probably. It would be a really cool contest to have people guess who all the agents are...

Hi Guys..Guess here's my entry, a bit random and more like a tribute, a line to remember for this anniversary..

Recorded using a low resolution webcam, i had no choice but to use some cartoon effect to light up the images/video..

Sorry for the low quality :tongue:

If anyone ever watched Halo Legends, this cartoon effect is a bit similar to the Episode "the Duel"..

Uncovered in 1927 in Peru, this incomplete and only partially translated tomb, commonly called The Book of Minimates, conmtains all recorded knowladge pre-dating the advent of Minimates in 2002. Could this achient manuscript actually contain records of the future, or is it simple an elaborate fake? You be the judge.

History of the Multiverse

In the beginning, the Multiverse was bare, and darkness was on the face of the cube. Then the Burrower reached into the Bedlam, and brought forth the Titans, the crouching musicians of old. Turmoil ruled as the dark giants trekked forth across the land, laying waste to all in their path. Disharmony and fear gripped the people, with no banner for the people to unite under.

Then the hero emerged, Terceria descending from on high, harbinger of the Marvelous age. The people rejoiced, overjoyed to bask in the glory that had been bestowed upon them. Yet it was not to last. Strife emerged from the wanders towards they who celebrated the Marvelous age. Tension built as war plagued the super highways. Then, darkness.

From the blackest pits of York a spark ignited. The Eater of Hats set aflame the Multiverse, promising safe haven to all who would kneel at the shrine of the Mate. Acolytes stepped forth, ranks swelled, and camaraderie forged. To those of the MMMV, the mate was only the beginning. This is their history.

And these were the commandments given to those, and they answered in one voice, "We will follow!"

Commandments

I. Thou shalt have no other collections before Minimates

II. Thou shalt not collect Shockins

III. Thou shalt spread the word of Minimate to all thy meet

IV. Thou shalt remember the Comicon, and keep it sacred

V. Thou shalt respect other members, regardless of their opinion

VI. Thou shalt not speak of religion, nor politics

VII. Thou shalt not ask DST about DC Minimates

VIII. Thou shalt not scalp

IX. Thou shalt not steal, nor by swindling knowingly cause another member to receive the worse end of a deal.

X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Gold nor Silver Spiderman

The Prophecies of the Kang

"What are mates bought for? Not two for nine dimes? Yet not even the Golden ones themselves are revered as highly nor as precious to those that love them so. What is the depth of a collectors love? Is it not what the material value is, but what is in the value of a human heart?"

The Book of Minimates, 20:08

And the Multiverse's Accidental Oracle thus prophesied

"Much like the utter insanity endured procuring the Twenty Third Marvelous Age's War Machines, a mad rush of people shall descend like locust to obtain that Deadpool Minimate.

Mark my words."

And her words were thusly marked

The Book of Minimates, 20:09

"For those who live through the dark times, tell the tale of death and rebirth to those who ask it. Tell it truly, the fault along with the joy. Tomorrow is not assured for any man nor Minimate. No one is too large to fall, not too alive to die. Live your life to your own accord; but cherish each mate as if it were your last."

The Book of Minimates, 20:10

"And the four horsemen of the Kangpocalypse were gathered to the city of wind, and there they didst receive instructions from Zachariah of the grain. And they rode forth unto all nations, crying 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, Kang is here!' And lo, I beheld a squirrel, and on her back was a groundhog, and massive armies of all kinds followed him. Then I beheld a great warrior of a park, riding on men one sixth his size. Then I looked and beheld a gentle man, with the power of thunder in his grips, and all created matter yielded to him. And lastly, I beheld a wild man from the south, spouting fire in one hand and peace in the other, and insanity followed after him. These horsemen made converts of all the world, till there was none left to stand against them. Then I wept bitter tears, for I knew the end was yet to come."

The Book of Minimates, 20:11

"And when they numbered Two Thousand, Zachariah of the Grain delivered unto them many revelations, beginning with the revelation that more revelations would be later revealed. And Terceria descended from on high and held aloft the purple and green grail, and he called it Kang. And to each of the 2000 he gave a Kang, and though it be small in size, it was magnificent to behold, and the two thousand cried out though as one, 'Our Kang is come!' And they lived out their days in peace and harmony, until the groundhog called out for the squirrel."

The Book of Minimates, 20:12

"And after the time in which Kang was delivered onto us, we shall learn from his hardships and choose another to follow in his path. And Kang saieth to thee 'Come together and choose my successor; be not divided, for each that is worthy shall have their turn'. Rejoice in news that Zachariah has brought to us and call once again on Terceria to hear our pleas."

The Book of Minimates, 20:13

The Marvelous Ages

And when the people were ready [in accordance with the prophecy] Terceria descended from on high and brought the Marvelous age to all the peoples. And these are recorded the Marvel ages, and the heroic sons that emerged.

In the first Marvelous Age, the world was still new and fresh, and the cinematic failures were represented in their comic form. And the Burrower said "Lo, I am grieved as such sons as this. Where is the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?"

The first Marvelous Age begat the Second, and there was much rejoicing. And Terceria said "At last, I have been blessed with the figure line of my dreams." and he called the second age "Spider-man", which means "Perfection".

The Second Marvelous Age begat the Third, with the Ultimate of men.

The Third Marvelous Age begat the Fourth, along with legends of a smoky blue figure, beheld few and captured by fewer still.

The Fourth Marvelous Age begat the Fifth, with a scared man and a frozen flag.

The Fifth Marvelous Age begat the Sixth. Variants proliferated, thinning the pure blood of the Age.

As a result, the Sixth Marvelous Age begat the Seventh, a weak era of weak kings.

The Eighth Marvelous Age was ruled by a hot-headed family dynasty, though they quickly disappeared after a rocky relationship stretched them too thin.

Invaders from the frozen white north invaded, using their armies of advertising to sweep away all traces of the first seven eras. So effective and brutal were their tactics that the armies of the Ninth and Tenth Ages could be heard within the strongest of Targeted fortresses.

The Tenth Marvelous Age begat the Eleventh. Overestimating the strength of their predecessors, they stretched themselves too thin, collapsing the age in an icy assassination.

The Eleventh Marvelous Age bore no legitimate heir, though the Twelfth and Thirteenth Ages were ruled by a line of puppet kings who squandered the wealth of their previous Ages before they, themselves were sold into slavery. So desperate was their plight that a set could be bought on the open market for less than a dollar. Thus fulfilled the prophecy that said:

"What are mates bought for? Not two for nine dimes? Yet not even the Golden ones themselves are revered as highly nor as precious to those that love them so. What is the depth of a collectors love? Is it not what the material value is, but what is in the value of a human heart?"

From the ashes that decimated the Eleventh and Twelfth Marvelous Ages rose up a contingent of pious rules. Small in numbers to keep themselves pure and un-polluted by the Evil Bay, they studied and prayed in quiet humility, making many prophecies that are still quoted to this day.

In those days the creators looked down on the world and saw that the market place was flooded with imitators of their children. The world was corrupt and ugly, and people loved not their neighbor, but focused on Ivan's Space Poodle Program. And Terceria descended to his flock and said

"Lo, I am sending a flood to wash away the sins of the world. For the Fifteenth Marvelous Age is truly corrupt and without shame, and I shall blight their sins from the record. Yet fear not. Hold out, my friends, for relief shall yet come."

And the rains did come, and they did wash away the sins of the Fifteenth Age. And to this day, there is but dust and shadow.

From the remains of the Phoenix emerged the Sixteenth Marvelous Age, and it was assembled. And the long-promised Thunderer spread joy, though the Striker of Thunder vowed to be heard from twice more.

The Sixteenth Marvelous Age begat the Seventeenth and Eighteenth, twin sons of emo dancing.

The Eighteenth Marvelous Age begat the Nineteenth, and the people did grumble against the creator, unable to understand the meaning in so much Perfection.

The Nineteenth Marvelous Age begat he Twentieth, unfazed by visions of cinema

The Twenty-first and Twenty Second Marvelous Ages hailed Heroes of the silver screen.

The Twenty Fourth Marvelous Age was born before the Twenty Third, yet even the people didst not grumble against Perfection in the face of such beauty.

The Twenty Fourth Marvelous Age begat the Twenty Fifth, and it didst bring forth Nazis and Beehives.

The Twenty Sixth Marvelous Age bore the shame of its predecessors and didst warm on the pegs for such a time as to become extinct only whence the Kangpololypse arrived.

The Twenty Sixth Marvelous Age remembered its heritage, and took for a mate a descendant of the Third Marvelous Age, and thus the Ultimates were born.

The Twenty Seventh Marvelous Age begat the Twenty Eighth, which the people did sanctify in record time.

The Twenty Eighth Marvelous age begat the Twenty Ninth, with a dark hero who would go on to defeat his half-bread knock off in a battle to the death.

The Twenty Ninth Marvelous Age begat the Thirtieth, And Perfection spilled forth, and the Ravenous Raptor didst celebrate.

The Thirtieth Marvelous Age begat the Thirty First, bring the Angel's Gate scandal into the world. Collections remained unfinished, while cousins remained unable to locate the path of war. Children starved and the people did languish.

The Thirty First Marvelous age begat the Thirty second, with giants and clones

The Thirty Second Marvelous Age begat the Thirty Third, and with the Titans vanquished, the Sentinels beheld the breadth of a hand.

The Thirty Third Marvelous Age begat the Thirty Fourth, twenty years of nostalgia.

The Thirty Fourth Marvelous Age begat the Thirty Fifth, and the second Iron Army returned.

The Thirty fifth Marvelous Age begat the Thirty Sixth, illustrating the magical history of the Iron Army.

The Thirty Sixth Marvelous Age begat the Thirty Seventh, shared once more with the market.

The Thirty Seventh Marvelous Age begat the Thirty Eighth, declared by the elders only the third age to have reached Nirvana. And when it had walked among its people, it was taken up, and not seen again, for it was taken.

With no ruler once more invaders from the north descended to claim the age. But a treaty was reached with the cold giants, and they were welcomed into the Thirty Ninth Marvelous Age.

The Thirty Ninth Marvelous Age begat the Fortieth, bringing the Marvelous Age into the history of the Second World War. And the people did discuss it at length, late into night. And in the morn the decided to take up arms in support. And many arms were raised, and presented to GI Giraffe.

The Fortieth Marvelous Age begat the Forty First, with a new look for the new era.

The Forty First Marvelous Age begat the Forty Second, with the Kronans of old. And lo, the strife raged for three tomes as the Striker of Thunder returned, a harbinger of the conqueror to come.

The Forty Second Marvelous Age begat the Forty Third, worshiper of squirrels did possess them all.

The Forty Third Marvelous age begat an age of reflection and celebration, honoring the best of the mighty heroes of old, which followed a Forty Forth Marvelous Age of Kang.

"And after the time in which Kang was delivered onto us, we shall learn from his hardships and choose another to follow in his path. And Kang saieth to thee 'Come together and choose my successor; be not divided, for each that is worthy shall have their turn'. Rejoice in news that Zachariah has brought to us and call once again on Terceria to hear our pleas."

"And in those days each did as they saw was right in their own eyes," [in accordance with the prophecy] and the War of Meeme was brought to their shores, and hilarity ensured. But no successor could be chosen from amongst the people.

And from the Kangpocalypse didst come forth the Forty Fifth Marvelous Age, and they lived in a world where a real Avengers cinema actually existed, and the entire universe celebrated.

The Forty Fifth Marvelous Age begat the Forty Sixth, with a Perfection that of a Mate that surpassed its source.

The Forty Sixth Marvelous Age begat the Forty Seventh, and much brooding took place over the sharpness of claws.

The Forty Seventh Marvelous Age begat the Forty Eighth. a return of the family dynasty, fantastic as it was.

The Forty Eighth Marvelous Age begat the Forty Ninth, shadows in secrecy and trained in darkness.

The Forty Ninth Marvelous Age begat the Fiftieth, a celebration of all that the Minimate had accomplished in ten years, full of hope for the future.

And each kingdom in the Marvelous Age brought under its power minor nobility and serfdom, so that their expanse of the Ages surpassed the Thousand. While many rivals came up against or were allied with, no kingdom could usurp the Marvelous Age. May its greatness be extolled, and its power reign forever.

Amen.

I understand fully that I am nearly 3 hours past the deadline, but I throw myself on the good graces and mercy of the judges and ask that my entry be accepted. I worked a long time on this, as BHM can testify. Anyways, it's up to y'all. Otherwise, just take the text version. Either way, I'm still showing this bad boy off.

This is truly a work of art. Printed on fine parchment and bound in actual leather, this tome smells like its been sitting in a cigar box for a month. The emblem on the front is actually branded on, the binding is triple folded to add support to the parchment. I have taken the liberty of including high res versions of the pages in case anyone would like to make their own copy. Also, the wonderful think is that i can unbind it and ad more pages for the next 10 years. :)
