Thanks DST. My question: What was the thinking in the Galactica Series 1 Line-up? Why no Adama in series 1? I'm sure lots of people would rather see the old man instead of Caine. I'm sure that you're trying to save some of the major characters for the later waves, but Series 1 is just kind of "ho-hum", line-up wise. Don't worry, I've ordered these no matter what, just wanted to see what the thinking was.

Gods. I cannot wait. Unfortunately, it'll probably be next week for us in the middle... Which means, antacost won't get any Toasters until Thursday... Stupid Holiday... Can't wait to see all of the pics guys... (HINT, HINT)

Custom Fodder Properties: A Chart
antacost replied to Alpheon's topic in Custom Creations & Artwork!
I used Krylon Fusion. They make a Satin Grey that works really nicely for lighter colors, and a Satin Black that is good for anything else. Make sure it's the Fusion brand, though. It's made for plastics, whereas the other stuff isn't. Enamel will not cure on the softer plastic (Upper arms, legs, heads, hands...) -
That's real shiny. I'd actually play that.

Let's not forget that Ady discovered Time Travel... Yay!

Personally, I LOVE that Ninja Spidey...

Has ANYONE ever rec'd a VARIANT from AFX?
antacost replied to batmite's_mom's topic in Crisis of Infinite Minimates
I don't order because of the hugemongous shipping fees... If they could get those down a bit, I'd pick up more stuff from them. Way I look at it, I can generally get a case of 'mates from the LCS for about $80 and have some spares, or order a set on-line for around $20 and try to track down a variant of the ole eBay and then pay shipping on top of all of that... -
Please gods! Let that be the next one... As far as MZvA goes, at first I was "meh". Then I was "eh". Upon seeing that cover, now I'm all, like "Whell". Same the covers are by a different dude. I never really dug any of the other AoD comics. I just couldn't get past the cartoony artwork. As much as I love ol' Brucey (My pet name for him - He called me a "freak" once) I never bothered to pick up any of the comics past the third issue of the first series.

Dude or not... Famke is smoking hot... Having said that: Goldeneye Famke all the way... I wouldn't mind getting crushed to death if it was between those thighs...

I agree she has kinda of grown on me too! I've always like her. I really don't know why everyone was hating on the figure. How else are you going to show a power like hers?

Sure enough... I never pass up cheap Minimates. Never! $3.00 for a 2-pack is heaven for me, but $3.74 for four... Damn! Good luck on your project. It's pretty ambitious. It took me a year to make 35 Minis for commissions... 64 figures? No thank you.

Very nice for your first time. Wiccan looks awesome! What did you do for his cape? Very effective. Keep the customs coming.

What's your favorite other toy/toyline?
antacost replied to Deadpool's topic in Other Toys & Collectables
G.I. Joe Sigma 6! Hands down my favorite, non-Minimate line... Either 8" or 2.5", I couldn't care less. Each of the lines are awesome in themselves. If you're looking for awesome, highly possable, huge action figures, go with the 8" Lt. Stone or the first Snake-eyes. Firefly is an awesome figure too. On the 2.5" side of things, they're some of the best vehicles out there. I'm enjoying these more than I did the 3.75" rides when i was a kid. The Dragonhawk is awesome! Plus, Target's got it for like $20 now. The Hiss Tank is cool as hell too... So's the Night Ops Vamp. -
Has ANYONE ever rec'd a VARIANT from AFX?
antacost replied to batmite's_mom's topic in Crisis of Infinite Minimates
I got the variant for the first Buffy PalZ series from AFX... I was shocked... Though, it did take me forever to find the regular, non-variant figure on eBay because I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a non-variant... -
They all look great. The more you do, the better you get. I really, really like Goliath and Stilt-man, though. Keep it up!

It's the end of the world as I know it!!!
antacost replied to Nervous Rex's topic in The Minimates' Arms
Congrats Nervous... Best to you and yours. -
Yeah... you're right. That's what I get for glazing over an article.

Lilly did used to work for Palisades... I'm unsure how they can use the same body, maybe he bought up the rights to it.... It looks like CMZ is making the Freakables that Palisades was going to make. This is an odd company. I'd definately pick up the Kockblockers, though... I did like the PalZ body. Second best block figure ever.

Yay Us! This is cool.

I've got a few extra of the DieHard ones: John McClane Holly Gennero Hans Gruber Sgt. Al Powell All are still sealed in their bags. No outer boxes, though I'd let the lot go for $10 +shipping. PM me if interested

Soon, everyone will... Soon...

Wait A Minute... You're saying that the Hardcore Sextape of JLO is SPAM!?! That, sir, is an outrage... Outrage...

Great work all around She-Thing... To mimic everyone else, though, that Lockheed looks great. Way to capture the Mini-Style. I want one as well.
