OH MY GOD YES!!!!

I saw this first at Anime Boston, then later that day there were people dancing the opening credits in the dealers alley. Life was good.

I did not know that there was a manga version out, is it being carried by a major retailer?

Anyways, awesome show, and I will totally join you in the squealing, though mine will be straight out fan-girl style! ^_^

Oh man! Your right on this, I can't think of a single thing to do with it, but I want to so bad!

From what it sounds like, its a raised 3-D decal?!?!! *awesome*

That was great! I loved the identity-crisis dolls ^_^

So registering went fine, the problem ended up being that there is no way to follow the link to the contest you mention. The link you use put me at a page where it said "you are not authorized to access this forum"

Any answers?

I agree with Aapje on this one.... some span of time longer than a week would be courteous, though not so long as to drive the staff out of their minds, or at least not past the outer limits! ^_^

Or something like an auto pm that reminds you when your want/have is more than two months old?

(Is that even feasible? I don't know...)

Ditto on the Salt Vampire!!! Its accesory could be the vial of salt tablets!

Oooh this is such a warm fuzzy feeling inside, all this talk of Trek Minimates

Klingons would be nice, especially if hoardes of them could be built up into conquering forces...it would be sad to have the commander with no-one to command.

I would love to see some of the animated characters and villains come up, but I'd be happy for whatever!

If they made a new series with better cars maybe that would peak interest?

As fun as the little car is, the minimates just don't fit in it very well. Poor Racer-X can't even fit under the steering wheel!

Ok I pushed the quote button but I'm not sure what happened...

I figured I'd use one post to reply to both so as not to make things too complicated. ^_^

So, thank you very much, to both of you! You've given me a lot of good information and advice to consider!

Reideen1313: Thank you very much for the image link. I had seen that set and was considering it, nice to know its a good option!

The_Crippler: Good to know about Citadel paints! I've heard good things, but nice to have another endorsement from a happy customiser!

Thanks again, and have a great Christmas!

A couple of questions for you. What is your level of experience with airbrushing? What kind of work are you hoping to do with it - general painting of the body or fine detail work?

No basic airbrushing experience, I'm willing to see if its a route I would like to travel, but that also means I have no set preferences or skills!

I was hoping to do general base coats for the figures, and then go back and do details by hand, maybe do decals.

Fine detail work seems beyond the capabilities of airbrushing at this scale, but correct me if I'm wrong...

Hey guys!

So here's the deal, I'm interested in customizing some minimates, filling them with love, sanding their hair down etc. etc.

I was wondering if anyone out there has some tips/hard-headed notions/opinions/facts about a decent basic airbrushing system?

For instance: Any preference between compressor vs. can of air?

Brand of paint?

Colors that will stain the equipment etc.

Info that most guides just don't get into. But also, best place to get a set, any way they can be repaired. I'm hoping to be a good consumer, and I hope you guys can give me the info to do that!

Thanks a bunch in advance, and Happy Holidays!!!

cool! Rare stuff is great, free rare stuff is even better!

I guess hope springs eternal huh?

Did you attend the Multiverse Meet-up we had at SDCC?

Yup, you guys were lots of fun to sit and listen to. :tongue:

Are these the custom Hellboy Minimates you have?

I remember seeing them on eBay and not recognizing the customizer who made them.

Yup!

Those are them! I squealed like the fan-girl I am and stalked the auction till I got them.

Glad you posted a pic, I don't think I happen to have one...

If possible, post pics - someone here can probably tell you who made them.

Hell, someone here probably made them! There's quite a lot of talent between here and the MMHQ. But no officially licensed "Hellboy minimates" have ever been produced.

Heck yeah to the talent here! I saw some of the staff's customs at SDCC, WOW!!!

Of course up till then I didn't know you could cut up the sweet little plastic guys, a life changing revelation

Hi there,

Glad to have you onboard, there's no need to be Koi(coy)Girl... tell us what's on your mind?

It's always good to get a lurker to come out of the corner and speak their mind

T.

p.s. You say you were introduced to the multiverse at SDCC... Are you the girl who sat in on our meetup and listened to us talk nonsense amongst ourselves because we really didn't expect to have an audience?

Yeah, I was. It was a blast. You guys are hilarious.

Welcome to the boards!! I see you own some Hellboy mates do you collect just comic mates?

Not just comics, Hellboy just happens to be the one comic that I both collect and read. But as to the rest I'm basically grabbing up whatever catches my fancy, maybe with an eye to one day start customising, but other than that...

Right now I'm enjoying the Star Trek releases, working on finding a varient Sulu...

I think you're referring to the Hellboy Mez-itz?

Hellboy minimates have only been made as customs - nothing official from AA or DST.

Hmmmmm, no I do mean minimates. I guess I got lucky and got someone's customs.

Could explain the odd lines under the paint on Lobster Johnson's chest!

So I was wondering when Hellboy minimates came out? Somehow I have them but I am really having a hard time finding any information on them, anyone know something?

Glad to be here! I've browsed a long time, finally saying hi! I've had minimates for quite awhile but it was at this years Comic-con that I was introduced to the wonders of the multiverse as well as minimate customization. Hope everyone has a wonderful Spock with santa hat filled Holiday season!
