Okay, I finally updated the index to all the decals in the first post of the thread. Sorry I let it slide for so long, it won't happen again. Well, it will happen again, but not for this long.:biggrin: Let me know if I missed any, or the links don't work, or they go to the wrong place, or I misspelled your name, or any of that nonsense. One thing: PLEASE try to identify the characters in your decals. For example, I'm not a Dr. Who guy, so I just based the names for eclipse (quite wonderful) decals on the file names, so I don't know if they're inaccurate.

 

 

Okay, how about some decals now?:biggrin: I put this one together last night, specifically for you guys: Quasar!

As you can see here, for my own custom, I used the Justice Lords Superman cape, but I realize that's not an option for everyone that would like to make a Quasar. So I made y'all a chest decal.

Here's a couple more, from the DC Universe (which has a lot of catching up to do with Marvel):

 

 

 

 

Of course, now I've got to add these to the index....

 

Ah, here we go!

@hellpop would body would you recommend this Quasar chest go on? 

Captain Marvel seems the obvious one and he's exactly what I am using for my current Quasar kitbash.

I forgot Quasar!! One of my favourite characters, he was an Avenger introduced in the 70s...

And he shoots to the top of "likely" candidates imo.

Going to try my first printing... has anyone done a chest decal for Quasar?

First post says so but i can't look through the whole thread on the off-chance it might show up

Okay, she-hulk...

is it just my wave 48 invisible woman that the mvc she-hulk arms, legs and head are too loose on - or is it all invisible woman?

i've seen a few people do the obvious kitbash but the arms and head in particular just don't fit tight enough and are therefore super limp on mine

I think part of the appeal of Minimates is that you could probably easily kitbash these yourself if you wanted them that badly.

When is that Enchantress wave due out?

Plus Viewtiful Joe's legs and arms make for an easy custom

I used Falcon myself for a stand-in (and maybe i'm biased having used it so long but his arms are even better for Eros... since they have the gold already... and other little things like the white shoulders and white in the crotch piece help... the one thing Viewtiful Joe has over it is the white boots).

No Jocasta ?

I feel like the 70s avenger will be Swordsman. Well, at least I hope it is! 

He first appeared in the 60s (and joined the Avengers in the 60s too).

Avengers members who first appeared in the 70s: Brother Voodoo, Jack of Hearts, Mantis, Jocasta, Starfox and Sersi. Hellcat also can count towards this as while she first appeared in the 50s, her costumed identity as Hellcat first appeared in the 70s. I've discounted Captain Britain, Ms. Marvel, Nikki, Nova, Starhawk, Storm and Wolverine as they already have Minimates or wouldn't be defined as Avengers and also Moondragon as she was a few months ago.

Mantis, Jocasta and Hellcat are the only ones of these who were also members of the Avengers in the 70s.

Jocasta would go well with Stature to complete the Mighty Avengers line-up... Starfox, Sersi... both seem likely obvious choices too... Hellcat would also go with the previously mentioned Moondragon but I think Hellcat would be described as a Defenders member (or at least a member of both teams) if it was her. Brother Voodoo and Jack of Hearts being described as an Avenger, while true, would seem a bit purposely misleading.... another knock is Jack of Hearts is famously a very complicated design so that might be further reason it's not him. We recently got a MCU Mantis Minimate so that makes me feel less likely it'd be her.  The only one I think would be unfortunate would be Sersi... as she is definitely a good choice but the upcoming Enchantress in the Animated Line is honestly the perfect body for a Sersi custom.

I hope it's Jocasta.

Nevermind, i've found one: http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1379&n=ODST+(Rookie)

Are all the Halo ones like that underneath the helmet?

Can anyone think of a good existing head for this?

(Keeping in mind, it needs a hole on top so I can get the hat on.)

Probably some modern dreck to go with that Marvel Rising cartoon.

Heh we used the same head for Gyrich.

Some of you  are geniuses for thinking of using Heroclix stuff...

it also means i can get a shrunken down version of my favourite hank pym costume

I can see a lot of people wanting this M'Kraan Crystal Heroclix thing...

I'd imagine that they'd look really tiny. Heroclix are pretty small in comparison to 'mates.

But! I have found that some of the 3D objects work really well with them, and are in scale. Like the Eye of Agamotto and the Zodiac Key. I just cut them off their little bases, and they fit perfectly in a Minimate hand. The Fin Fang Foom toe also makes for a goofy prop

This is interesting... do you have any photos of a Minimate holding one of those? I could do with a Zodiac Key...

i went with OZT on page 2 as well and used 4 of your five. Joseph was still around... in fact i think he'd only recently debuted. I made my own Joseph with a Magneto face, Silver Sable hair, and wave 60s blue and yellow male body.

Nitro hair for me!

I'm going to vaguely say... Operation Zero Tolerance?

It's not that I have any particular love for the story, but I do have a particular love for that era of X-Men, and it's honestly an era that doesn't get much love. I've said it in other wishlist threads, but I'd love to get Marrow, Maggott, Cecelia. Bastion would be cool. A 90's X-Man in his Blue & Yellow attire would be great. I honestly don't remember if Joseph was still around in this story, but I'd love him too. AAAAAAND there's plenty of variants to go around for the more classic X-Men.

Again, it's not the story that really screams at me, it's the fact that I'd like to start filling in X-Men minimates from this era, and this just happened to be one of the bigger stories from said era.

Oh come on, it's so easy to make your own Joseph ?

Any interest in Agents of ATLAS?

Yeah!

i gave one of my SHIELD agents  a Sunfire unmasked head - it's meant to be Jimmy Woo ?

Luke just did that comic accurate Nuke, pretty sweet.

I only just found out about Luke's customs... so i missed out on Nuke who i've wanted in Minimate form for a while but with some research I'm even more heartbroken to learn I missed his MOONDRAGON - she's my 2nd most wanted Minimate. ?

Battle-Damaged Daredevil and Nuke are the only ones I can really think of as being new and viable. Kingpin, I suppose, they could give us the same old one or even a version of it in black (like in Daredevil The Man Without Fear) and Foggy, Karen, Ben and Sister Maggie would be obvious choices but I doubt there's much call for most of them.

Could open it to sneak in some other Miller DD stuff - like Daredevil in the home-made costume from MWF, Stick, a new Bullseye, a white costume Elektra, Death-Stalker, more Hand Ninjas army builders...

Thanos Imperative!

Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Moondragon, Groot, Gamora, Thanos, Lord Mar-Vell, Quasar, Gladiator, Cosmo, Mantis, Jack Flag, Major Victory, Namorita, Crystal, Darkhawk, Starhawk, Magus, Death, Phyla-Vell

spoilt for choice of figures!

Firestar please!!

If we get a Deathlok, which I'm all for, top tip - do what both Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe figures do - a composite but with removable backpack-with-shoulder pads that allow for us to use him as both Luther Manning OR Michael Collins. And since it's Minimates, you can go the extra length and allow even more chance to make it into either. 

Well, Chamber - being the most likely candidate to get a Minimate - I'd much sooner take him in his black leather look as then he isn't alone. If we never get any other Generation X members, he wouldn't look out of place (and he did wear the leather much more than the actual uniform, and it applies to his post-Generation X appearances too).

If we did get other Generation X'ers later, you have the option to get two Synch's to give Chamber that uniform

But i honestly think Chamber is the only one we'll get. Maybe as a TRU exclusive at that. Chamber and Pixie two-pack seems like a really obvious TRU exclusive (and super-annoying to get two characters and no other members of their respective teams)

Well, i mainly think Chamber, Husk and Skin need extra parts to reflect their powers above swap-out parts to make other people.

(and Chamber is better served out of uniform anyway)
