minifigvig

this grail thread helped me manifest an x factor lot that was well under a benjamin even with shipping

cheers everyone!!

@thereasonsy i agree, the amount of times i’ve said “good luck with that” out loud when i see an absurdly overpriced lot of normal figs 

whilst questing for thine grail…

how good does it feel to see the figure you want being sold in a lot that’s about the same cost (or less) than what people are trying to sell for the loose single figure?

i finally got rachel summers and now a second FA angel this way lol

got my set pre-ordered through luke!! 

in the last few years i’ve gotten back to collecting, i would say both of the mentioned angels and box end up being the craziest prices for the two packs and loose @buttheadsmate@NerdyTrev

x-factor angel/warpath

box/vindicator

if i could get those then i’d complete some more mutant teams

to me, my x-men box sets!

if  ‘97 could get multiple releases and i’d buy them all

i’ve been looking forward to this show and have been really enjoying it so far

latest episode just took it to another level!!

@Onyx_6 @buttheadsmate i wanted to see a shark mate and found my self in the same boat (heh) as BHM and couldn’t find it at first

i’m not much of a customizer though, but the shark warrior and the ghost shark are both really cool looking

pre-orders go up tomorrow, and i think this might be the first time in a while that i’m really considering purchasing 6” figures

the nostalgia got me! and now i’m thinking of what a few waves of sharks ‘mates would look like 😬

time to go life-size!! a full 6’ Mate would be crazy

Wolverine is a factory Minimate.

Colossus and the Sentinels are my block figure design.

Sentinels are 3X and 5X scale. 6" and 10" tall. The 3X ones mostly have LED eyes with on/off switch, dimmer, and battery inside the head. I may want to get rid of a couple of these at some point. They have alternate heads with a purely printed face because I don't like how dark the LEDs look when they're turned off.

Again, my photography skills hurt this one. The purple guys have a nice red glow to their eyes in real life and the blue ones have yellow. It's almost too washed out to see in the photo.

love this pic! your work is so good that we should give you a title like “master mold” or something 

my daredevil set is in and i’ve got spider-verse and party wagon pre-ordered, gonna be a good year!

the “radar” insert is great for pics 

and the technodrome is in! thanks luke 

it’s all coming together, bring on the party wagon!

mind reposting?

i should have saved it.

i just noticed mine has 2 flesh colored arms.  i am curious if i missed that when you posted the art

thanks!

i was curious about the lack of a blue mail arm and saw this was the look for the cartoon

so then everyone gets web hands, new webs, and a “portal” stand then

pretty cool! 

my villains should be in the mailbox this afternoon! (thanks Luke)

i gotta say, it feels good getting these in so soon after the turtle blimp!

so its rebel moon for the new minimates?

gonna join in with the others who were hoping for MK (especially with the new game coming out)

i was kind of taking a break from collecting but when i saw the excalibur box i knew i would need that juggernaut

and finally last year i was able to find an ebay listing with both of the disney store four packs NIB, so now i’ve got kang grim reaper and hawkeye

now the problem is finding vindicator and box so i can have a full alpha flight team

lots of jokes going way out on a limb, it’s on its last leg

I was considering peg holes and modular seating so bench seating might be a possibility but probably not. I'm going to move to a single pilot seat so I can fit it closer to the front.

awesome! yeah, was just curious what options there were. since i don’t 3D print i hadn’t even thought about the time to print! but it makes sense to keep it as small as possible.

a single pilot seat sounds like a good move, keep up the good work it’s been so cool to see the stages of the designs for all the stuff you’ve made so far

I think I'm going to try to round the body a bit more. Or at least the roof.

it’s already looking really good so far! would def buy one once it’s all been finalized, especially if it can fit that many figures

do you think it would work to size it up just enough so that everyone in the back would sit on benches facing each other?

DD set goes up for pre-order on August 25.

yes!

i really might have bought those first DD ‘mates in aug ‘03, the 20 years is hitting me right now 

i am turtle-green with envy! hoping my set is in the mail soon, i’m really liking how shredder looks

Our boy needs a remake. 

i’m in for an updated version, and i just realized the web wings from W80 spider-woman could be a nice addition
