Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one!

I'm always looking for diversity in my collection. Just yesterday I was thinking about asking DST for an Isaiah Bradley Captain America Minimate.

I know that Hawkeye's Junk owns an Isaiah Bradly Cap...

Seriously, I'd love to see him as a minimate. Great character and a fabolous looking 'mate.

Welcome to the 'verse!

I'm not really convinced of this new breast sculpting hype that's going on right now, but I really like your take on Cobra Comander! Very original.

And who ever that hairy dude is going to be, I like what I see.

I'd love to come, but this really is a pretty far (and expensive) trip for me. If by any chance I'm visiting the US around that time, I'm definitly try to come.

For inspiration and stuff.
Last contest's incredible gallery!

Puss n Boots resides with me here in Michigan!

Got the red 88 minimate in the mail today as well. Now if we can get the rest of them before the end of the year, that would be great.

Was this the only reward you were getting? Do you remember when they asked for your address? I haven't received any email asking where they can post my loot to, and i'm a bit worried that if they're sending out rewards as they are manufactured that i may have missed out.

Don't worry Nessex, I haven't been asked for my address either. I'm also in for one of those 4-packs.

Woohoo! Thanks for your votes and congrats to everybody 1st and 2nd place! Great contest, Geohound, thanks a lot!

Happy birthday guys! Glad you're part of the 'verse!

Maybe this could be the theme of the next custom contest: Create your own "Buster"!

YES!!!

"Hell no!"

Well, that's a little exaggerated, but to be honest, I wouldn't even watched the video till the end. Although I might be interested in a clever show like the one you want to do. Here's an attempt of constructive criticism. In my eyes a kickstarter video has to do three things:

a) give you an impression of what is going to be produced and how you're doing it

You do that. Or better, you tell me you're doing it. But I have to watch two people talking to each other for 50 seconds (that's over a third of the whole video!) until I get to know what this is all about! (And it takes another 40 seconds until you come up with some examples!) And I still have no idea how all the stuff you promise to do look or work out in the end. I want to see what you already came up with in those 15 years of experience, rather than being told you're able to do. Show me! An idea what you might want to do is include some short clips of how you're actually working on something and some really - really! - good shots of final products (while the voice over is still running, so the video doesn't get any longer)! I don't want to see two people talking about stuff, I want to see them doing the stuff! AND: since this is going to be a show(!), I want to get an impression of how the show will look like in the end. Actually THAT will be the product, right?

b] give me an idea of who the guys behind the product are - and why they're really behind the product

I can see you and I can hear you. But I feel like that's not enough. It sounds like you have this (or rather claim to have this) expertise in doing stuff, but I don't know why you really want to produce this show. I mean besides earning some money. Only thing I get to know is, you were remodeling your house some 15 years ago. I'm still in "meh"-mode here. That's not "mathematical!" or "cowabunga!". Why do you guys feel the need of doing this show? And it shouldn't be because you're able to do the work. That's a given. I need to know why you enjoy producing a show like this and how you want to make it be different from other shows. Why the two of you?

c) make me feel connected to you, hence I really want to support you

I don't get this feeling. You have to talk to me. Most of the time you talk to each other, instead of your potential viewers. Btw, who are these guys exactly? I need to like you, either because you have a sense of self-irony, you're really funny, charming, witty, badass or that strange kind of Bob-Ross-weird (which is very, very hard to do!). In the end, YOU are selling the whole thing, because you guys will be in every single episode of that show. And right now I don't know why I want to watch you guys changing a light fixture. From all I know right now, I'm expecting the two of you standing there in that empty room explaining how to change the light fixture. That's not enough. At least explain how the show will be. Will you vist people helping them with a problem? Will you do it at home? Will you shoot it in a studio? What are your roles? Is it like you're going to be your mom's sidekick? Does each of you have a sepecial expertise? Will it be a show with plot elements, a documentary of remodelling a whole house, something like a Tool-Time home improvement show where you explain how to use this or that tool?

I still have way to many unanswered questions to think about contributing.

Hope that helps in some way. I really don't want to discourage you guys, but I can see why others said "no" to that video. Another thing I would do: use visuals (words, facts, etc.) in the video to highlight the most important things.

(btw, my suggestions are all basic Aristotle: an orator always has to rely on his own credibility, the emotions and psychology of the audience, and the patterns of reasoning (here: the product).)

PS: Nice to see you on the video, TM2!

Happy birthday, mate. Have a good one!

Very clever, Luke!

I want to also suggest having photos of the minimates be the main picture. I only say this because I generally skip over auctions without photos of what the item is.

That's a good idea. I don't know if it's still possible, but it should be easy by just changing the order of the pics.

Other than that, thanks for doing this TM2, good job!

You could put up the contest's gallery instrad. A lot of fight club action in there.

Superman!

Soooo, wassup?

I've just realised we have 3 separate threads dedicated to this topic.

Should we lock a couple down or do the magic mergey trick?

What Nessex says.

In case I missed a different thread, well hete's the Age of Ultron box set and I must say, without ever reading it, I'd buy it for this brilliant Fury alone!

Crazy. Just crazy. Very well done.
Oh, and this might seem odd, since the wings are the main event here, but I like how you sculpted his chest piece.

While I was playing around with the two translucent 'mates who were going to participate in the contest, I thought a lot depends on the right camera angle. A pose might look brilliant from one perspective but from a different one it seems odd. Well, you already see what I decided then, right?

This is probably against the rules, but that's okay. I don't mind. Too much fun to create. Hope you like it.

Just saw the line-up for Series 5. Very exciting stuff! You guys may get that Tyreese you've been asking for...

Then my work here will be done.

So, as it's the usual procedure to google for "name happy birthday" for these kind of threads, I found that your name isn't just funny and cool. It seems you named yourself after some chick with a knife-gun. And then I had to check out who that hottie is and realized, wow, it actually is the main dude from that video game series I never ever played.

And now I know.

Anyway, happy birthday to one of the best sculpters around! Happy 26th birthday Squall, have a great one!
