Damn dude, that's awesome! Love the color scheme and great work on the weapons!

Awesome pic Jeff! That scene was hilarious.

Just ordered mine!

And another great Artmates custom Luke! Did you sculpt and cast her skirt piece or use a 3D printer?

When I sold off my LEGO collection I find the local AFOL group and posted it on their forum - everything was gone in a week!

Love the paint scheme on Pegasus! I'm just waiting for my sculpted parts to cure so hopefully I'll be able to prime and paint in the next few days.

In the meantime, does anyone have some spare LOTR sword/scabbard combos? Ideally I'd like to use Anduril and/or Glamdring. Thanks!

I'm unfamiliar with the characters but they still look great! Clever use of Salaak's body for Skin.

Not sure why they haven't been picked up by UK TRUs, but if they were, we would have to have additional testing done, yes. It may be a matter of quantities. How many are there?

If we're looking at international TRU's maybe you could look into why TRU Canada carries almost nothing when it comes to Minimates. The only things I've seen at TRU in the last few years are the Heralds boxset and Spider-Man Friends and Foes...

Hey, Thanks gang! I couldn't wait to see what everyone thought of my customs, since I was just trying out something new. I want to give a huge thanks to TM2Dinobot for the cool backstories for these guys, otherwise they'd just be a couple of armored up minimates. here is a link to more/bigger shots of them, and I'll put some WIP shots in my customs thread if anyone is interested.

Custom Con Angels

How did I miss these? Awesome work Nervous! Are you making any more characters in this style?

Another home run Luke! I never had Crystar but I always wanted one. And everyone should have a Chuck Norris Minimate!

IMO Stan should be either single carded, or in a four pack with Ditko, Kirby, and Heck (or insert other SA Marvel fellow if you have a better suggestion for the fourth spot).

A carded Stan Lee would be amazing but we all know that he'd be in a 2-pack with Spider-Man. Personally I'd love to see a Stan Lee/Stan Lee as Spider-Man 2-pack!

It's probably best to remove the guys name and refrain from slander. I think that's a safe bet for all of your online activities, not just here.

Thanks youbastards. And just 'cause Zach said it wasn't legit doesn't mean it isn't! In any case, I guess we'll find out later today.

Anyone have the 'April Fool's' Kang 2-pack pic handy? I did a search but couldn't find it...

I know you said you won't have dumbbells at your gym but what about:

Dumbbells & Dragons

Fitness and Collectibiles

Dude, your customs always blow me away. Don't ever stop making custom Minimates my friend.

No dumbbells or cardio machines? What type of equipment will you have? Kettlebells? Pilates equipment? Who's your clientele?

As for names:

Arkham Athletics

Hyperion Fitness

The Secret Lair

The Hero Lab

Calisthenica Gym and Collectibles

The Exerciseum

Grayson's Gym

Chi-Town Playground

The Chill Fitness & Collectibles

Cool! Looks like a flexible skirt-piece as well. And where did he post it? I looked at the DST and AA site and DST's FB page...

I love that pic of Vorin running! Well done!

Let's make the official deadline for customs to be received by me as no later than June 25th.

I thought we agreed on July 31st as the deadline, no?

Looks great Luke! I'd definitely pick up some capes if they were available. How many would you put in a set or would you sell them individually?

Unbelievable. Your sculpting skills are second to none! Not to mention your photography!

I didn't realize I was just jumping on hellpop's Hawkeye bandwagon! Count me in! I can see the Hawkeye TTA set being another fan poll for sure.

These were made before IDW's involvement with the line, as with the Gator variations, so unless the creative team decides to write them in to the comic book I imagine they'll just be prototypes sitting on a shelf in Chuck's office. Statues of the new cast would be cool but I hope DST/IDW explore the ideas of playsets and vehicles more. The Mini-Figure Resin Display Stand was awesome and I think the only thing that stopped it's release was the $80 price tag. Throw a few exclusive Minimates in with a playset and I'm sold.

Zach: can you give us some more info on the Battle Beast statues? Who sculpted/painted them? Where are they currently living? And are there plans to do the same sort of thing with the current Battle Beasts characters?

So sorry to hear that Eric. All the best.

Luke did up a sweet Dr. Doom TTA set of customs. I can't see that happening (along with Wasp) unless they're in the next slate of upcoming Marvel movies.

What about a Hawkeye TTA? They've done Cap, the Hulk set is on the way, and there are enough IM's and Thor variations.
