First off, I toatlly agree w/ everyone and had no idea of what kind of can o' worms I was opening... prettymuch everything people said are on my list but as for Kraven I feel he wasn't given his due- the chest piece could've been done better, I always see him w/ the flowing lion's mane behind him, his hairpiece annoyed the hell out of me, and his face just didn't seem to be Kraven. Not to mention the accessories could've been better- a spear, net, and machette/ sword, he rarely used a rife. So that's why I say Kraven. But he's lower on the list compared to several others.

Been thinking about this for a while and finally decided to bring it up- Which already released Marvel Minimate characters deserve an update? They just now announced a 'new' Deadpool and Cable so I'm just wondering what or who people wish to see remade. Some of my personal pics are: Nightcrawler, Colossus (a good one), Kraven, Elektra, Power Man/ Luke Cage, and Lady Deathstrike.

I'm still working on getting more army builders, my financial means are fairly meager right now so I don't have as many as I would wish, especially since I actually can't afford getting the entire series sets at once... but I've no problem w/ too many wolvies, sabretooth (teeth?), caps, etc, since I need custom fodder

been busy working on new customs (including a new Zedd and Goldar) but figured I'd post some of my semi-favorite (don't have pics of my favorite yet but working on it) so here goes- btw I decided to nix the rest of the Rangers (mostly) and show the villains since the Rangers mostly have the same look w/ no special quirks or whatever- just different themes and weapons. From Power Rangers in Space, Ecliptor and Darkonda From Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Vypra and Olympius And from Power Rangers Jungle Fury the Red Tiger Ranger and Dai Shi the Overlords of Air and Land, Carnisoar and Grizzaka and Phantom Beast King Dai Shi and Phantom Beast General Camille

once again thanks for the props. good call on the slipper feet, but at the time when I designed him those hadn't been created....

since this seems to be enjoyed by many (or few) I figured I wouldn't kill it with more uploading of rangers- but expect there to be a tidal wave coming after this: from one of my favorite movies 'Dog Soldiers' comes Sargent Welles and Private Cooper Spoon and Megan Captain Ryan and werewolf and I'm sure people will recognize some of the X-Men Evolution cast Prof.X and Magneto Cyclops and Jean Grey Nightcrawler and Rogue Toad and Avalanche Wolverine and Sabretooth annnnnnd, since they were mentioned before and are the best duo EVER- Bulk and Skull v.1

for a bit more fun here's a few more rangers only this time unmorphed Jason Lee Scott(red ranger) and Tommy Oliver(green ranger) Zack Taylor(black ranger) and Billy(blue ranger) Trini Kwan(yellow ranger) and Kimberly Hart(pink ranger) and some of those never-ending flunkies Oozeman and Z-Putty

actually since they're all on paper I simply use an art folder with dividers to keep them in the right spot, the hard part is finding the time right now to whip out the camera and take pics to upload. ahhh the drama of life.

Thanks for the compliments. Haven't done Alpha yet and I'm not truly pleased with my Bulk and Skull designs- the only problem now is finding a way to upload all the designs for the Rangers that I have done (with 17 seasons and me having done 16 of them almost in full- not done yet there's a lot) plus I'll be uploading more than the Power Rangers soon

Thanks for the words of praise. about to upload a few more, but once again rangers so I'm afraid most people will be taking one look and shunning the idea here's a few more white ranger and ninjor Lord Zedd v.1 and Rita Repulsa Goldar v.1 and Rito Revolto v.1 Ivan OOze and Tengu Warrior Scorpina and Finster Squatt and Baboo

ok, sorry it took so long here's the first three/ six Mighty Morphin Red and Green Mighty Morphin Black and Blue Mighty Morphin Yellow and Pink More to come, sorry if quality isn't that great- lack of scanner means I have to take photos of them seemed to have messed up on the red and green rangers- round two

I finally have the technology to get pics uploaded of some of my work- plus I have the tools to create my first actual customs. be patient, they will be posted soon.

hey I just starting actual customizing and was wondering what the best tools are for cutting. ex. turning a powerhouse chest into armor. any and all input appreciated.

wow, bunch more haters out there than I expected... I ain't givin up tho so HA! But I have to mention the door it would open since the Rangers are now owned by Disney.....

So it surprises me how few people have thought of how awesome it would be to create Power Ranger minimates. As far-fetched as it is, it would still be one cool series. Personally I've been working on matifying as many as possible (drawing them, I can't customize worth anything) and was wondering how many other like minds there are out there. Working on uploading my drawings to share but my technological situation is currently not the best (plus I hate technology in general) so yeah, let's just open up the floor to the Ranger talk now!

About time someone else said it!!! I've been drawing the Rangers in minimate form since minimates first came out!! They would so kick ass w/ all the villains (which are a pain to convert) so yes, the Power Rangers need to be transformed into minimates- simple as that. GIVE ME THE RANGERS! 9ok, yeah I know it probably is never happening but I can dream and keep drawing can't I?)

Okay. Let me say this again. I am not trying knock Pyro. I was just disputing the claim that Pyro and the Mandarin are as recognizable to kids as Sabretooth and Electro. It was not my intention to say that this somehow disqualified Pyro from getting a minimate. There's a generation of comics book geeks that have no idea who Mariko is but we got a mate of her. Yes, Pyro is as recognizable as Lady D, Leader, or Thanos as far as kids go, and they got mates. Heck Thanos is nihilistic Death worshiper, and he got a mate. (although try explaining nihilism to an 8 year sometime) Just FYI, he hasn't appeared in costume yet. He was in the first episode out of costume, but hasn't appeared since. Or let me add the qualifier- If he has, my DVR skipped the episode for some reason and my boys are going to kill me. Actually he has, in later episodes after his brief appearance he's once again Magneto's lackey and helps to capture Nightcrawler. So unfortunately your DVR skipped or the TV schedule messed up the episodes, they tend to do that.

Pyro is different. Do kids know him from the X-movies? Sure. Do they recognise him as the guy in the orange and red costume and big red goggles? Not really. Put Nitro's fire hand and Hydroman's hair on Marty Mcfly in Disguise and that they might recognise as Pyro. And he hasn't appeared in costume in the newest X-Men cartoon either. On the other hand, Electro was in a couple of episodes of Spectacular Spider Man. The look was very different, but the lightning around the head, and general color scheme was the same. And Sabretooth is very memorible from the first movie, even before the current one came out. Not to be a jerk, but i'm pretty sure the Red & Yellow goggled Pyro appeared in the original X-Men animated series from the 90's. He also featured in the 2nd and 3rd series of X-Men Evolution with a similar, although slightly modernised costume. He also appeared in similar costumes in X-Men Legends & X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse. There was also a recent Marvel Legends figure of him in his classic costume, as well as a Superhero Squad version in the same garb.. For anyone who has history with the X-Men, i think he's pretty recognisable. Maybe not as recognisable as Sabretooth - but i'd recognise him before i recognised The Leader (Hulk), Ultron (Avengers) or Lady Deathstrike (X-Men). True Pyro has been featured in X-men Evolution AND Wolverine and the X-Men in something close to his classic costume so the classic would work.

Amen to that. Here's to hoping next up is an X-Wave w/ some good villains. Dang. Forgot how many good badguys (so to speak) there are out there, maybe top ten wasn't enough. But for the Sentinels couldn't we also get Bastion, Nimrod, and Human Sentinels?

So the current score for minimate villains compared to heroes is grim. Just figured I'd bring up my top ten X-Men villains I'd love to see transformed into mates. I have a soft spot for the X-Men since I grew up w/ the 90's TV show. 1. Pyro 2. Mr Sinister 3. Avalanche 4. Toad 5. Omega Red 6. Powerhouse Juggernaut 7. Black Tom 8. Hellfire Club 9. Different outfit Mystiques 10. Sauron Feel free to add to the list and discuss who'd be better as a mini.

Love the new wave for the two much-wanted villains and the HoM spidey, I just like that outfit. The only problem w/ all these new badass mates AND the Transformers 2 figures my wallet is gonna be raped......

Small hole in your logic there. While there may only be four or five unique characters in the Spider-Man stable, there are still in the neighborhood of 30 Spider-Men running around the Marvel Minimate Universe. You're better off squaring off with the X-Men and hoping that the all-Wolverine unit is busy fighting someone else. Or if you're one of the two Magneto mates hope to god the small few un-adimantiumized Wolverines don't kill you before you're done w/ the regulars. But if you're up against Spidey it'd be the clone saga from hell....

uhhhh not all skrulls are villains...you know what you are?...you are a a skrullist. not cool man, not cool. well they first appeared as villains and had villainous plans to take over the world. plus the skrull we're getting has an evil look to him.

do we really need another spidey, but if so insulated, Kaine, bag-man, the Slingers (Dusk, Ricochet, Prodigy, Hornet), and noir would be cool.

there has been one (if counted as brother hood members) Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, also the upcoming Sabretooth and Skrull 2-pack is a villain/villain combo so it could be done.
