I'd take either of those Boom-Booms over a Liefeld Boom-Boom...

GOod find on that skirt, i'm actually gonna aim for that. The break at the waist should off-set the change in colours a bit and who knows, maybe they'll be a lot closer in person than in those photos.

She did at least wear a solid pink skirt (no white line) in New Mutants Annual #6

As for legs, honestly, the Gwenpool legs are fine for me, i can see boom-boom wearing those shoes and lets not forget the feet were the bit liefeld struggled with so who knows what boom-boom was actually wearing for shoes most the time.

I'm just gonna go for the Boomer hairpiece we've got rather than paint any. that Ghostbusters one though looks great base for ANOTHER of liefeld's boom-boom costumes - the one she wore in New Mutants 93...

I know this is really petty.. but Gwenpool's cancellation really made me laugh hard. It's like they shoved this character so far down our throats and they still couldn't make it happen.  Anyway, I'm looking for a skirt that matches the pink so I can male a boomer from the Liefeld era.

 

 

I really want to get pretty close to this line up:

Great minds think alike, I'm planning the exact same thing with Gwenpool.

Although the great thing is Liefeld was such a crummy artist, the designs were always fluid and changing... so you can take so many liberties with matching Boom-Boom's design or making a composite of various of Liefeld's takes with that Gwenpool. Like I'd feel sticking with the trunks instead of trying to find a skirt or painting a skirt would be justified as Liefeld very likely drew her with trunks instead of a skirt in a panel.

I'm aiming to recreate a similar line-up from a poster featuring a roster that never appeared in the actual book.

I'd even love to be able to make a Rusty and Skids in those two costumes they never wore...

I'll take Machine Man and Jocasta however they come. 

I seem to recall reading that MM had been ruled out of any Marvel Zombies waves, so I guess it won't be that way though.

Can't believe I forgot Jocasta from my list. I keep looking back at my list and realizing I forgot ones I really want like Jocasta but I also don't want my list ending up as long and silly as that earlier one. I had to go back and edit her in though!

A Machine Man and Jocasta double pack screams exclusive and I want it.

The last several X-Men/Wolverine waves have been amazing for filling in so many of my most wanted figs (especially when it comes to villains). Here’s my revised top 10 X-Villains wishlist:

Dark Phoenix redo

Mimic

Arcade

Legion

Stryfe

Goblin Queen

Sebastian Shaw & White Queen Emma Frost redo

Black Tom Cassidy & Juggernaut redo

Legion I'm so hungry for. I tried to make one myself but the best hair for it is Gozer from Ghostbusters and it's still not big enough.

Honestly, most of those are a bit batty that we haven't had them yet - especially Dark Phoenix. I'd throw in Bastion too but maybe that's just coz for some inexplicably reason I want a Bastion.

My green/white Rogue of choice would be the cape and hooded look.

then you could take off the cape and use an alt hair piece and have it like 

but i doubt i'll be that lucky and it'll probably be an recent era variant that i really don't want

Oh wow, i was gonna pass on that Beetle coz in the first pics she looked like she had really flat colours but she's got some shine to her. Definitely getting her, Chameleon x 2, Jack o Lantern and maybe a Peter Spidey.

Now give us a matching Abe Beetle plz

Oh ok, fair enough, thanks.  Although as this is an informal poll and 90% of these characters have almost no chance of getting made anyway I guess how much interest there is in them would still have been interesting to see...

Um, plenty of these have a chance of being made... Deathlok has gotten both ML and MU figures, Adam Warlock is a significant character who has already had one Minimate, this Captain Britain got a MU figure, Machine Man has gotten both ML and MU figures, Shang-Chi has had a really prominent place in the comics since 2012, Star-Lord is a huge movie character now (who we still haven't had a comic book version of). Jack of Hearts has a iconic design and was an Avenger.

How about they just do a wave that's most of these. ^_^

Star-Lord!

Anything to have a comic book Star-Lord

I might get Jackal, if he's got chest detail underneath the bulked up chest piece all he really needs is a different head for a pretty decent 616 Jackal. Any ideas a head that would fit?

Stop teasing and do Boomerang already!

Very clever use of the HYDRA Elite mask for Bug. I would have never thought of that but it's genius. Not to keen on the Moondragon head, she's meant to be sexy! Here's a bald female head that might work better. But, I've got my AOA Rogue head eyed as a potential Moondragon head if I ever get around to making her

It's inexcusable we haven't had any of those Guardians (or any comic Guardians really). i was thinking about getting a bunch of Champions Ghost Rider's to use as a male Guardians body (they had the blue and white stripes in Annihilation Conquest) but i've never committed to it because making a Star-lord is a problem since all the movie Star-Lord Minimates have the right mask but hair showing.

Even though it pains me to get another attempted rapist action figure, Atuma to me is the character that has had the profound impact in my mind due to him being a villain that crosses multiple franchises. As for the army builder, as loathed as I am to get another hate mongering group out there I had to go to the Sons of Serpent for the same reason.

You must love all those versions of Crossbones we have...

I'm with you here. I feel like FF & X villains have received much more love over these 15 years of MiniMates. There are a whopping amount of high-profile Avenger adversaries to be made.

Well, FF still has a few big holes (Wizard, Trapster, Thundra) but most the Avengers enemies we've gotten are either also member's solo villains or general shared universe villains. What we need is about 3 boxsets of just Avengers villains.

Korvac and Sons of Serpent (they can also count towards Defenders enemies!).

I don't think there's actually more than one Growing Man though... I can't remember any examples of more than one. Though I suppose you could use time travel to explain away why there's 5 of the same robot together.

But Super-Adaptoid on the other hand, he could be an army builder - there was a whole swarm of them once.

(there are SO many I want that didn't make the list - Titania, Tiger Shark, Fixer, Yellowjacket II, Whirlwind, Swordsman, Immortus, Blackout, Erik Josten in some form... stupid Avengers with too many villains I want)

My X-Men modifications. Thought I had a lot more but the others are mostly just head swaps or on New Mutants / Strike Force bodies.

Cannonball - his X-Men costume, this is the Capullo X-Force boxset Cable torso and belt, with 90s Cyclops arms, crotch and legs and finally a Danny Rand head. It really annoys me the boot straps aren't lined up in this photo.

Angel - I'm sure all those people desperate to complete their X-Factor team with X-Factor Angel will be mortified to learn that I am wasting mine on making this red suit Angel. It's Champions Angel with the arms and legs from X-Factor Angel. The different shade of red isn't as noticeable as in this photo. I'm looking to get the old blue skinned Angel with metal wings to see if I can make the red version of that look (which he also wore).

i probably should've included my Joseph... which is just a Strike Force body with a Magneto head and Nitro hair or my Legion which is just a New Mutants body with Pyro head and Ghostbusters Gozer hair. Oh well.

Next maybe my villains bag or misc heroes or cosmic, we'll see

As for the face and eyes, how about:

Only a mite bit happier, but the eyes look closer to Pixie's imo

Honestly, they both look great. I'd be happy with either (and may steal the recipe for myself - or at least get the First Class boxset for fodder for the New X-Men characters). For the boots, you could use the straps from the Strike Force to top them off? Or make them seem a bit shorter or a bit longer...

Mimic, Nate Grey, any of Generation X, Marrow, Cecilia Reyes, Pixie, Hellion... please don't do that, there's TOO many to pick from. ;p

Classic Heroic Age Iron Man:

I've had to settle for that Wave 25 version though

Not the greatest photo but here are my permanent mods towards my Avengers collection.

Not into painting or printing, mainly because if i say print Quasar's logo over the Mar-Vell torso, when they release an actual Quasar, I then won't be able to recycle the no longer useful Mar-Vell torso for say a Genis-Vell kitbash. i'm willing to overlook little things like the captain marvel symbol or doctor druid's lack of his insignia

the rubbish angle (i literally just threw them on my couch and took a photo) makes a lot of them look squatty.

Doctor Druid - Mephisto body, Cloak cloak, CEO Tony stark head and hands.

U.S.Agent - a minor mod but an important one, the arms are from Guy Gardner Green Lantern - the original U.S.Agent minimate had white sleeves which is an artist mistake which was copied across by other artists a few times... the only reason he's not wearing his mask is because it doesn't go with my choice of cap (the slip cover mask from invaders boxset)

Rick Jones - this is basically just Predators Edwin with a Marty McFly head. It is perfect, anyone wanting a Rick Jones, go out and make this.

Black Knight - everyone thought to do the 90s Black Knight with the Cap Avengers jacket... but one thing they always overlook is when Dane wore the jacket, his greys had become a blue. So, i gave him Hobgoblin's legs. The arms work good too - we just need a cape in the same colour as his gloves and boots to complete the de-jacketed 90s look.

Wonder Man - a composite of the two available Wonder Man minimates. Torso, arms and belt from the one that comes with She-Hulk, everything else from the safari jacket one. This is actually one of my favourite Minimates now!

Hank Pym - really disappointed with this one... i mean, it's servicable but i just don't like it. It comes from two Walking Dead prisoners (coz there was no long sleeved ones with white chests) with a Hank Pym head.

Vision - the old Vision Minimate with an early Loki's parts. Bonus is you then have the Vision's phasing arms and legs you can interchange.

Thor - this was a nightmare to make. It looks simple but I got through so many different Thors before being able to make a bearded classic Thor (like in Simonson's run or Under Siege). It's Stormbreaker Thor's torso, arms and crotch, Heroes Return Thor's cape, helmet, belt and legs and Armored Thor's head. It took ages and I went through a lot of others that didn't work (Thunderstrike, 90s Thor, even using Armored Thor's head was because the heroes return one didn't sit on this torso) but i finally got my definitive Thor Minimate.

Quasar - this is just passable. Mar-Vell torso, Sentry cape and head, Marty McFly (the same as Rick's head) arms, AvX Cyclops' gauntlets, early Ultimate Spider-Man crotch and legs and Fighting Chance Captain America hair. I used to just use Mar-Vell's bracelets but I found the Cyke gauntlets look a bit closer to Quasar's quantum bands and it looks a bit more interesting.

Hawkeye - i didn't even make this, i ordered a Dark Hawkeye off ebay and got this... but hey, i really liked it. It combines parts from Dark Hawkeye and the first Hawkeye. It came with a worse head which I subbed for the Ben Grimm head. Now I'm pretty happy with this as a Hawkeye.

Henry Gyrich - due to unpopular demand, he is a great recipe for henry gyrich. Waldroff with the Mandroid head and Eddie brock hair. For bonus points, the Statler body is a Jarvis in the waiting...

I'll show my X-Men later... there's a lot less of them (because there's a lot more of them released)

• Atlas
• Beetle (80s Abe Jenkins version, ideally with metallics)
• Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell)
• Hellcat
• Jocasta
• Mimic
• Mockingbird (classic)
• Moondragon
• Nate Grey
• Quasar
• She-Hulk (classic)
• Son of Satan
• Starfox
• Thor (Lord of Asgard)
• Wasp (Hank Pym)

Son of Satan... ideally in his classic red caped look, not the leather pants and fire hair look... another classic Defender member. i'd like him and Hellcat to round off the team (and dream of the day when we actually would get a Gargoyle)

Mindless Ones are an obvious army builder that i'm surprised we haven't had yet

I'm mostly posting here just to say for Cap it's the Invaders boxset for me...i much prefer slip-on cover masks like this when the character's need eyes visible... i know most people hate those slip-on masks but i really think this is the best Cap i have (and i have a lot of Cap variants - and it kinda bothers me that i can't really display them together with cap because none of them have slip-on cover masks like the cap i like)
