  1. By the way... just noticed the cool sunfire...... What was that from?

    The second costume of Sunfire was introduced in "The Age of Apocolypse" storyline in the mid-nineties. Recently the Sunfire of the regular marvel universe started wearing it after he became a horseman of Apocolypse. The first costume is his classic one. I hated the samurai type costume he wore in the early nineties so I would be happy with either of the two that I showed here. We need him & Banshee to make the X-Men classic box set complete.

  2. Now for something completey different. Personally, I'm sick of hearing about girls going apesh@t over that green dress that Kiera Knightly wore in Atonement. But, it got me to thinking that something like that woyld certainly appeal to girls, and it would make a new civvie for us so I decided to design one. I think Jean Grey or Mary Jane would look great in this.

    Finally...another Storm. She's my fave so you have to expect a lot of her. This was the costume she wore when Arkon abducted her. Talk about hair! this minimate would probably fall over without a foot peg.

  4. I'm jealous of the people that bought these! This set looks really good...but with all of the other minimates coming out this year, I'm going to have to make some tough choices, and I still can't decide what will get cut. I already have a Kirk, 2 Spocks, and Uhura. I don't have a Scotty, McCoy, Sulu, or Checkov yet, though (but they're so plain next to these alternate versions) decisions....decisions....

  5. Time for today's designs which are :

    Ozymandias...I have to laugh...I kinda threw Bubastis together....

  6. You should do the whole cast of Watchmen :D

    I probably will...in fact, The next design is of Zhora from Blade Runner, who has a transparent raincoat which helped me practice for the transparent fabric on Silk Spectre's costume. Was anybody else slightly traumatized like me as a kid to see Harrison Ford shoot an unarmed woman in the back? By the way, Zhora was played by the beautiful Joanna Cassidy. She was in a lot of TV movies in the 70's and also in a famous Smokey the Bear commercial. Recently she played Brenda's bitchy mom on Six Feet Under.

All of these and the members I previously posted are from around the time of The Great Darkness Saga, which I always thought was the height of the LSH's popularity...therefore, I haven't included earlier members such as Ferro Lad and Chemical King, or later characters such as Tellus or Quislet.

    The Following members are:

    Mon-El

    Star Boy

    Invisible Kid

  9. Maybe it's because mini-figures like Minimates don't take up much space (or maybe, just maybe, it is my huge bias toward block figures generally), but I think that large, colorful teams really work better with these figures than they do with larger figures (like 6 inchers). My Avengers, X-Men, and Justice League look fantastic displayed together. As such, I was really, really hoping for a fuller JSA, Teen Titans, and Legion of Super Heroes from DST. Your custom designs make me weep for what might have been, Chaz.

    Yeah, I know....I just have to face the facts that the Legion just isn't as popular as when I was growing up and will probably never see toy form. I thought minimates would be the perfect niche for them. I think most of the minimate collectors have one thing in common, and that's a love for uniformity in their collections. I was so tired of the alternating scales in the larger figures making my collection look odd that I just gave up on them. It's nice to see specific guidelines in a toy line...but the clincher is all the different company liscenses (like Mego in the 70's) in the same format. As you guys can tell by my designs...my tastes are all over the place.

  10. Thanks, man! Are you ready for some more? These are really fun to do.

    Chameleon Boy:
