Great theme, and a big thank you to Luke314pi for organizing things! Count me in! ^_^

My favorite hands down would be New Goblin. Don't care for the series or anything, but the outfit design is wonderful!

Robots sounds amazing! Count me in!

The Olympics are just over, but sports themed? Minimates on a bobsled would be pretty awesome.

If the theme is "global" than the charity could be Haiti or Chile as an international aid focus. Would the Red Cross take donations?

My child was Reideen, so...

Got a lovely two pack of 90's Storm and the Black Panther, thank you Santa I have no clue who you could be!

Yay! Secret Santa info has made my finals week a whole lot better, thank you Reideen!

So, very sorry if this is old news, BUT oh my gooodness there's gonna be a Deadpool movie?!?!?!

Can I get a hell yeah!

I was browsing aimlessly in the local Newbury Comics and came across and Elrond minimate. It was love at first sight, and I was soon back to get the Elven Swordsman and Archer set and have happily been throwing my money at them ever since!

Oh my God, you are God. Or at least Jesus!

Thank you so much, the site is great! Keep it up!

Very nice! The coat color is definitely a good match! And you made the gold details on the coat look very snazzy!

Ok, so sorry, but am I too late? Totally up to you punisher, if it is, just delete this, thanks!

So even if it is too late, here is my absolute favorite indie guy: The Amazing Screw-On Head

Comes complete with suit, and alternate lucky number 13 body!

Sorry too about the flash off the comic! And mad, mad thanks to Mike Mignola for creating him in the first place!

Really excited about joining in, and here is my mate: Labrat!

Mine arrived safe too! Thanks Alter Ego!

C3 Martian Manhunter just came in the mail!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

For opacity I really like Testors enamel white. The nice thing is that it comes in either matte or glossy.

On the other hand, 59 cent acrylic paint from any craft store, with a few more coats will work just as well.

The problem with Testors is that it takes longer to dry, you have to leave it alone for a good couple of days for it to get completely dry to the touch, depending on the surface you've painted on.

I haven't tried Citadel white. When I did use them, I found that you really couldn't overpaint, one pass was all you got for a smooth surface.

Hope this helps!

Schoen! I've forgotten how to do umlauts with a computer so this will have to do.

I second Aapje's very pertinent question! I'm going abroad next year and am anxiously contemplating a year without from minimates...

Did anyone see the BSG Colonial Warriors box set and think that the three guys (other than the grey haired guy) could be mistaken for Han Solo, Luke, and Calrissian? Or was this just me?

Ok! Sorry for the delay. Here are the snails!

The orange one came first, but then some of the other minimates were posted and I had an "Oh, Shit!" moment since all of them were bipedal and my snail wasn't.

So I made another, and I had this great little backpack I had taken from a military action figure. The yellow snail was born, and got the added cache of a removable shell!

And if someone can help me with posting photos, that would be great!

Ok! Sorry for the late post. Fujis! I have mailed the snails out to you...hope they get there safe and sound. I'll upload some pics when I figure it all out.

Ok I have to make a push for any Poirot mysteries by Agatha Christie, or any of the Sherlock Holmes!

My favorite book that I've read recently was actually for school but was just fantastic, Body of Work by Christine Montross. Definitely worth a read!

The split sounds good, and I will have my snails sent out to you soon! Hopefully painting will be done by the end of this weekend!

Hey fujis! Are you still letting people join this? If so I would like to contribute a snail. I have finished the sculpting and will hopefully have it sanded and painted completely by this weekend. Thank you!

....but Street Fighter did show up at TRU, and it still did abysmally sooo....

I generally have really good luck with Newbury Comics.

Even for varients and boxed sets, they will generally have it. And there are enough stores, at least around MA that you can hunt a particular set down.

Looks like the website also carries the minimates, though I don't see the box set for BTTF.
