luke314pi Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Awesome! I have a special set of (hopefully) 6 customs that I have been working on in anticipation of this event. I might even have time to sneak in a second entry as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Day one entries are up. Nice to see that Minimates are kicking' ass and takin' names. Luke, your AOA work is top notch as usual. Who did the Batman ones? The paint work on those is outstanding! The Archer ones are great, too. I was thinking of doing a set of those, but it looks like I got scooped!

undeadpool Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Luke's AOA stuff is great! and the Batman ones were done by Brobotc, but i did the photo's and write ups, expect new ones for everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 minimate overload on the first day maybe minimates will dominate this round of custom con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Great job guys! I really like the Minimate presence on the first day. Great start with some great custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The Archer and Batman minimates are fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Wow, Minimates are kinda dominating on Day One! Some very nice stuff there. Really love the Batman Minimates - very nice detail work and part selection there. Plus the Joker's face is wonderful, and the shorter Penquin is both cute and disturbing. The Archer Minimates are great - nice job with the likenesses and accessories. And the AoA Minimates are spectacular. Love the Quicksilver and Iceman. Great job, everyone. Now bring on Lobsterman's "mysterious" set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nice! My favorite so far is the Keaton Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Day two is up. Nervous, those angels are breathtaking, and Dino, the backstory is great! I'm a little jealous showing on the same day as you, because those blow my stuff right out of the water. Very well done, sir. The Batman mates are very cool, too. I love the Mr Freeze. I have to say, Minimates are very well represented in this custom con! Edited May 1, 2012 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 there is not enough good things i can say about those angels or those guardians of the galaxy...i am officially blown away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Another Minimate landslide today. So thats Rocket Raccoon. Great custom work, especially impressed by the lower legs and knee joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Everything Minimate related is mind blowing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I gotta say, everything that was shown on Customcon is Amazing!!! Great job by all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) That is amazing! Minimates still dominate the con on day 2! The second Batman set beats the first in my opinion. I especially like Freeze here. Great parts selection! I've already seen a sneak peak on Nervous' Before the Fall mates, but he did add some great details. Very well done man. Those figures look just great. And cool backstory, TM2! And Lobster, you continue to amaze me. This second set of GotG 'mates is fantastic! Amazing details on these. And I totally love the Make-A-Mate idea - and how he turned out. Just great! Edited May 1, 2012 by Bob Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 DST, if you make those Guardians of the Galaxy custom into an official wave, I will forgive you for making Kang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wow, those were 3 stunning entries! I want every single one. Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Dang, 50% of today's CustomCon is Minimate-related. Either we're getting really prolific with our customizing, or other customizers are slacking. Love the inventiveness of today's Batman entry. Really like Two-Face and Mr. Freeze. The angel Minimates are just stunning. Wonderful parts, wonderful paint, just wonderfully done. And the story's not bad, either, TM2. And the modern Guardians are just as great. Some wonderful sculpting done for Rocket Raccoon & Starlord's helmet, and everything about Groot is perfect. Well done, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
