Omg I love you

New post to add all my Trek stuff to - updates from the old post back on page 9 (https://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?/topic/10647-the-decal-thread/page/9/#findComment-274806) As I can only add one pic per post, you can find everything here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/VYg6NMQ TOS: Mego style Mugatu - chest and back Nurse Chapel - chest Female Science officer - chest Female Command officer - chest Female Engineering officer - chest Uhura - Corbinite Manoeuvrer - chest Uhura - chest Rand - chest TNG: Troi - purple catsuit - chest Troi - red catsuit - chest

I think so

So ideally anything with a clear background would be best saves as a png?

There were times when I tried this and the printer printed a different color as a background, like a weird shading. This happened more when I printed from a jpeg vs. a pdf. It may have been an issue with my printer. I think it assumed the white background was part of the picture (as opposed to negative space) and tried to print something in its place.

Ohhh, that's interesting, I might have to look into some of those. When you say the background has to be transparent, not white, how does that work? I would have thought anything white would effective print clear? I'm working through tidying and sharpening up most my old stuff - I can't decide whether to post everything individually, or just link to the whole online album? I only seem to be able to add one image per post nowadays My Gallery — Postimages Marvel — Postimages Star Trek — Postimages I might make a new Star Trek mega post with a link, and then just list what should be in the album

Cool

picked up the new bitty bop! x-mansion. the scale is off for much of it but that cerebro is cool!

Unfortunately we now have the Wrecker & the Mindless Ones

I'm partial to W43. But I respect BHM's curveball.

yes. I bought silver mailing labels from amazon. they work well since most printers (at least the ones that I have tried) do not do silver very well. you just have to make sure that the background is transparent, not white. For color, I have been using waterproof mailing labels. the color transfer works well and the print does not rub off.

I just got over the trauma of not getting to have the classic Maddox, Cuckoos, warwolves, wrecker. .

I can't argue with that although TBQH I rarely reminisce about the Werewolf Minimate The WereCap character as a Minimate could have been great but my memories of the comic story-line are not so great . I read the WBN comics when they were newsstand -fresh & ,even then, a 17 year-old young 'butt laughed out loud at Werewolf's alter ego's name . Jack Russell

Nope, that is perfect. My plan is to try and get clear orange or yellow tape, cut it and put it over the eyes like a visor, and then find some old, texture-less Emma Frost hair and paint it silver, too. The body won't be perfect, but it will be good enough for me.

Sorry, Silver labels?

I really wanted that Werewolf Captain America...

Thanks again to everyone chiming in. I'm making my way through some boxes and I'm prioritizing items that have more interest, but there's still a long way to go. I also don't have as much of the 1st shots anymore (and as I mentioned in Luke's Q&A, people will hate me for this...) I threw out a lot of unpainted samples some time ago as they were not holding up. We had no use for them anymore. I kept unreleased ones amongst some others though. Painted samples though are another thing, I have all of those still, and in multiples in most cases. I'm always curious to know how people got their hands on items over the years. I'm sure there's probably some sources that I would recognize the names of. I know too that a lot of factory dumpster diving happens, as it does with most toy-producing factories. Unfortunately, no. It would have been far too many characters to pay for design work to be done in order to have them go unmade. Werewolf Cap did get one, but it was never coloured up. If I remember right, it was because he was in the far lead until the 11th hour. Some characters ended up happening anyway, but those were designed with their corresponding waves as we decided to do them. Mojo was the only one who actually had some design work done prior to the poll. He was originally in Wave 47 for a long time, but was dropped mid-way through the design because of the amount of parts. The Captain America Through The Ages poll did have the other two designed, and were shown on the TRU website at the time. I'd have to dig those out. I don't think I posted this before (at least, I can't immediately find it), but here are the results of the Wave 50 poll: ROUND ONE - Total Votes 11,519 Ghost Rider Danny Ketch 21.84% Cyborg Spider-Man 14.96% Werewolf Captain America 13.56% Savage Grey Hulk Bulked-Up 12.35% Team X Wolverine 10.6% Iron Man 2020 10.3% Mutated Extra-Rocky Thing 8.5% Hydro Armour Iron Man 7.89% ROUND TWO - Total Votes 9,785 Songbird 17.57% Commander Steve Rogers 14.89% Winter Soldier 14.7% Banshee 14.1% Modern Luke Cage 11.39% Modern Falcon 9.85% Gladiator (Shi'ar) 9.54% Black Knight II 7.96% ROUND THREE - Total Votes 6,947 Onslaught 22.1% Baron Zemo II 19.25% Bulky Apocalypse 17.79% Mojo 11.14% Bulky Abomination 8.62% Vengeance 8.35% Wrecker 7.2% Baron Strucker 5.56% ROUND FOUR - Total Votes 4,127 Nova Corps Centurions 22.66% Classic Madrox The Multiple Man 19.53% Stepford Cuckoos 18.17% HAMMER Agents 9.89% Mandroids 9.69% Mindless Ones 8.43% Warwolves 8.26% Dire Wraiths 3.37%

Thanks!

Was any art made for the characters that didn’t win the Marvel Wave 50 poll?

Oops - yep, these are for clear paper, as I don't know of any all grey mates, or how to print silver. I tweaked the face for you - no idea if it needs a skin tones added?

I gotta say we have had some great daredevil’s the best of is amazing but wave 1 will always be my favorite. It’s what got me into minimates and I was loving the Bendis run at the time. The Bob Gale arc right before Bendis’ run was great in my opinion but nobody ever talks about it or seems to remember it.

I actually purchased silver labels, which worked pretty well for me

This is very impressive, but are you going to add any color to it, or is this supposed to be clear and put on, like, Silver Surfer but in reverse or something? Any chance you could do a version without the rivets, make the eyes white? Would make a perfect, easy EDI custom for Mass Effect Minimates...

Years of digging them up and the occasional Ebay auction. I have met some sellers in China that let me know when they uncover anything Minimates. I have been doing this for many years and my best sources are just a few people I know or have known.

I don't think I ever posted the original - but here's my updates Meggan. I thought she could use a bit more shape. Hopefully the colours match, as the black band should line up with the one on her arms 🤞
