Bob Harris

Damn - i feel that DST has missed a really sexy opportunity with that Deadpool box set.

It could have been the return of the minimate party 'girls'.

Well...

Here's more.

Due to recent events, and this teaser, let me just put this here and not talk about it.

Cap-Pool and Marvel-Girl-Pool

Cap-Pool recipe: WW2 Captain America shoulder piece and belt, Bucky boots, some recolored parts and Rick Grimes' bag loaded with weapons.
Marvel-Girl-Pool recipe: heavily modified Hawkeye mask, Rachel Grey skirt, Deadpool shoulder holster and lots of fun.

We need a Deadpool supporting cast set: Dr Bong, Weasel, T-Ray and BOB!!!!!

I know, right? A Minimate based off of me would sell like Squirrel Girl multiplied by Hot Sex!!!!!

I like that you can't see his feet.

Deadpool pack - will sell like hot cakes !!! I want it for x pool alone. Bob H is somewhere passed out now I'm sure.

HAHA! Absoulutely. Funny thing is, I was working on something pretty similar to the (hilarious!) idea of that 4-pack. You can see two customs up and ready on the left in this pic.

I really like those. I had lots of fun customizing alternative Marvel characters a while back and it looks like you have a blast doing these, too. As you know, I really like that gritty paintjob.

Welcome to the 'verse and your new addiction! Really like those pictures of yours.

Incredible. Those last 2 minutes in the third were just incredibly unexpected and changed everything. Haven't seen anything like that in a pretty long time. At one point the Heat outscored the Spurs about 30-5. Wow. Hoping for the next games to be more like the first.

Great pics, K80! Funny thing, I just posted a group shot of his G.I. Joe 'mates with Flint on BAMF, admiring that baret of his!

Welcome to the 'verse, James! I really like that "still haven't 'lost my dinosaur'" and "I probably wont end up having children of my own" reasonig to buy toys.

Happy 31st Birthday to Mr. MMHQ himself!

I hope you have a great one!

Congrats guys! Great job everybody!

I loved the Pacers in the Eastern Finals against Miami (after I learned to respect them - as a Knicks fan - for a well-deserved win against New York). I like how the team works as a team, not one or two superstars and a bunch of guys. Paul George did an outstanding job defending LBJ, who is just an incredibly talented guy playing amazing ball. (I have to respect him for that, although I really dislike him.) Very exciting and competative series!

I guess we're going to see something like this again in the Finals. At least I hope so. The first game was pretty thrilling.

I'm rooting for the Spurs for the sake of seeing the Heat loose. (There's a lot of envy in that statement... )

Jay & Silent Bob are a great surprise! You guys really nailed the likness of these, especially Bob!

I hope there will be a) colored versions and b ) more View Askewverse characters.

TWD: still no civil Tyreese? We've already seen him and he looks perfect. Where is he?

Wolvie set looks good to me. I like that we actually get 5 Wolvies in the 4 pack.

Great news, BHM! Congratulations! (I'm agreeing with all the what?-BHM-got-children-talk, but, well, it's the interwebs. You don't know nothing Jon Snow. ) Again alles Gute!

I've sculpted fixie sculpt parts on a minimate head useing regular clear adhesive tape (in Germany it's Tesa, I can't compare it to other brands) and it works pretty good. I just put the tape around the head, sculpt on it and when it's done, you have to be a little careful removing it the first time, but after that no problem. I used it for both Casey Jones masks, which can be removed pretty easy.

Great idea Bob & I'm trying to be positive & not sound sarcastic but that list of shops ain't going to be long

You're absolutely right. That list will be pretty short. Still, it could come pretty handy, since most of those stores might offer some older stocked 'mates and these might be cheaper and easier to get as a lot of eBay offers.

Besides all the USA-USA fun (I always imagine Homer shouting it) and the interesting info on CE tests, what about actually collecting links to European (I just included you Brits here) online shops selling 'mates? That would be pretty cool, since - thanks to the Schengen Agreement - "we" don't have to pay custom fees on any of these orders. I don't expect any shop being a serious competitor for Luke, but still.

What do you guys think?

UK Collector, since you started it, would you update a list in the first post?

I only dealt with one store in Germany and had no problems at all - besides the price: x-comics.de
The shipping costs for international orders are pretty insane, though. But I can gladly help you guys out, if you want to order anything: I could order the stuff to my place (costs 5€/7$) and send them to you loose in a bubble mailer (worldwide up to 10 'mates for 3,50€/5$).

Thanks a lot for hosting this, Lurch, and my deepest compliment on some fantastic stuff to all participants!

Something like a gallery or links to the actual posts with pics would be cool. I don't want to miss out on anybody when browsing through the thread.

Now, when we can get an updated Cloud City that looks as good as this?

That's a great idea!

Did anyone notice this looks almost exactly like the old ewok village from the Kenner line?

You are absoluetly right! I had the feeling, I'd known this set somehow, thought maybe there was an earlier version of it. But it's the Kenner set from back in the days! Oh, I never had this, but my grandfather made me one of wood which was pretty darn cool when I was a kid!

I had the old Kenner Ewok village. But $250. . .I spend some crazy money on toys, but $250 for a LEGO set is some really crazy stuff.

Absoultely! Way too expensive in my eyes.

Here's my entry. Just a little fun with one of my all time favorit movie posters...

Strong Guy looks great and I love that Forge (btw. I'm not a military guy, but I guess he's holding that gun in a way he really shouldn't right? )

Using Wolf Man feet for Beast is a really great idea. I guess I haven't seen that before, but it looks really, really good!

Nice tea pot collection!

Very cool costume!

Great design, Luke!
