Thank you so much, Padrino, cylonchaney, buttheadsmate, elhonez and Prowlar.
I appreciate the fact you viewed what I shared. I just don’t have the skill set to do the amazing displays that are in The March of Minimates so I shared my creations here. 
 

I do have a few that I have not shared yet that are truly from the genre of what Prowlar has done with using parts and compiling them to make new characters. I hope to post them closer to the end of the month. 

I have also been working on an Alternate Earth Concept sort of based upon the What If concept.

I have North America has Socialist come to settle what we know as the United States of America and found the United Socialist States of Amerika.  So here are some of what they would have in the line of Socialist Super Soldiers.

Black Arachnia, Titanium Man, Crimson Widow, Radioactive Man, Amerikan Guardian and Crimson Dynamo.

Here are two more members of the Socialist Super Solders: Hammer and Sickle.

Then to counter the United Socialist States of Amerika, you would have the USR. The Unified Soviets of Russia.

This is where the USSR was in our reality but was founded by democratic people and thus developed to be more like our United States of America only in Asia.

The Soviet Avengers: Sokol (This world's Falcon), White Widow (Black Widow), Darkstar (Scarlet Witch), Crimson Arachnid (Spider-man), Captain Russia (Captain America), Vostok (Vision), Perun (Thor), and Iron Dynamo (Iron Man).

Black Panther (Ally of the Soviet Avengers from Wakanda), Starlight (Captain Marvel) and Iron Curtain (War Machine) are other supporting members of the Soviet Avengers.

If I had the means, I would have made Devilray (The Earth Three variant of Black Manta,) But the Lego parts for Black Manta are on the pricy side.

But here are a few more comparisons.

My custom Poison Ivy and my custom Earth Three variant Venus.

Next: Firestorm and Deathstorm

I wanted to do a comparison of my Custom Black Canary and my new Earth Three Black Siren.

Black Canary

Black Siren (the evil counterpart)

Same persona just two different universes of the multiverse.

I was not sure about Venus. So I have alternate versions.

Version 2

and then there is version 3

and then I have version 4 which has some nice qualities but I am not fully satisfied with.

Really like that Talon and Citizen Cold.

Thank you Prowlar, I appreciate that compliment.

Talon and Citizen Cold were the two I was most doubtful about.

For Talon: I used an Antman body with the chest block reversed, a Warpath head and I an not sure whose hair and a Rictor shoulder piece which I painted.

For Citizen Cold, I am not 100% whose parts are what, but I think it is a Shatterstar chest block, a Doctor Octopus head, and I think the legs, hip and arms are from an Angel minimate and I think the hood is a Spider-Gwen with the inside painted white.

Amazing stuff, brilliant .

 

BTW who is the donor for Sea-King's head?

THANK YOU! I believe I used a Thor head. I think maybe from the Armored Thor minimate.  I just dabbed a little white paint on the left eye to blind it.

I agree, I also go the "Chucky Vibes" seeing that picture.

So to update my status.

i am working on ideas for the March of Minimates and even if I don't post them via the contest, I will be posting them here.

I can say that some are my inspiration from Prowlar and some are ideas I have wanted for a while with some creative licensing involved but look decent.

I only wish DC Minimates were more common and at reasonable prices.  So I am working within my means to make what I am making.

Happy Groundhog Day.

I am merely a customizer, Prowlar, you are the King as you have good backstories and I am merely going for the looks you make and share with a means to impersonate them and make them mine to a different degree. I could never fully dethrone you nor would I attempt to take the crown.  I merely wanted to share I enjoy your custom MiniMates and hope to one day see more of them.

One thing I have recently discovered is that I need to fully go through my stash of Minimates before I shop Luke's Toy Store or eBay as I now have extras of ones I already had extras of.

I am working on some Marvel What If? customs that are simple to make if you have the right stuff. I will share images once I actually set up the display in my office.

Hello,

For those that may read this, I am once again working on customs again and also, I am working with the inspiration I get from Prowlar.  I respect his work and thus I like to make variations for my collection from is shared works.  I would never truly want to copy his work but do like the work he shares with us.

More customs will come soon on my post.

Prowlar,

I am wanting to let you know that I am still getting inspiration from you even if you have not posted any new customs of your own.  It has been a little while for me to make customs as well, but recently I have come across a tub of parts and stated tinker once again. I wanted to let you know that I am still trying to keep up with your level of customizing.

Hope this finds you well. Thank for keeping my imagination thriving.

Captain Paco

I don't have a 3d printer but I know two people who do.

I have access to sticker paper so could likely bull that off.

I would love to see more sets of Transformer Minimates.

Yes, some came from Shapeways. The rest were random mates parts I had on hand.

The shields of Faker and He-Man, the sword of He-Man, the staff and cowl of Skeletor, the headdress and septor of Evilyn, the harnesses of He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Faker, Skeletor, Buzzoff's claws, the ax of Faker, Man-at-Arms' helmet, the serpent headdress and staff of Teela and several of the hip covers, and the helmet and jetpack of Stratos were all Shapeways.

The rest were various parts I repurposed.  Beastman is Sasquatch with a few different parts The wings I used for Stratos were form a Falcon mate as the wings that were available on Shapeways kept breaking. Clawful is parts from the Scorion BattleBeast mate. The head on Buzzoff is a lego head. The Wings I used for Buzzoff were I think from a Nissa mate.

LOVE THIS WORF.....I would love to get me a couple of them.

Here are the work in progress of my MotU custom mates, thanks in part to Shapeways.

I do think that collectors would purchase Star Trek MiniMates in sets from the films.

We have Kirk from the Motion Picture and from The Wraith of Khan. And we have Ilia and Khan.

So why not make a box set that gives us Movie uniforms for Uhura, Spock, Sulu and McCoy. Then there could be parts to make Chekov (using Sulu's body) and Scotty (using Spock's body) from the Motion Picture and the set could also include parts to me Commander Decker and Ilia in her duty uniform.  Then another box set from The Wraith of Khan with Uhura, Sulu, Spock and Captain Terrell which could then include parts to make Saavik from Uhura's body, and Chekov from Terrell's body. A second Wraith of Khan set could include Dr Carol Marcus, Dr. David Marcus, Joachim and another of Khan's followers and maybe Preston (Scotty's nephew who dies as a result of Khan's attack) and a sixth figure or a supply of parts to make other of Khan's followers and the Marcus' in their cave gear.

The Search for Spock Set could include Kruge and Maltz (a Klingon officer), Saavik, and Spock (with a assortment of parts to make him seem to age and grow, and Uhura in her skirt uniform. This could be a five figure set as we would get the rest of the crew in civilian attire in the Voyage Home set.

A Voyage Home set could include a six figure assortment of Kirk, McCoy, Sulu and Scotty in civilian attire, Dr. Jillian Taylor and Spock in his robes. Maybe also extra parts to make Chekov and Uhura from assorted extra parts a Collector may have already.

Then Final Frontier: We could get Sybok, St. John Talbot, Korrd, Vixis, Caithlin Dar, and Captain Klaa. The Enterprise Crew would be able to be in the uniforms from previous sets so only the ambassadors, the Klingons and then Sybok ware needed for this set, but parts to make Uhura when she sings on the dunes would be a nice bonus.

The Undiscovered Country: We could get Chancellor Gorkon, Azetbur, General Chang, UFP President, Lt. Valeris, and Admiral Cartwright.  Again the Enterprise crew would all appear in the uniforms we already saw in past releases and this would allow characters not made before.

I would purchase at least three maybe four of each of these.

Then you move to the TNG movies and I am still on board

Awesome set, I am wishing they would have made tis set as they are cool and have some nice details. I would certainly buy a set of these as I like Western figures.

I had some issues that prevented me from responding. I am glad to finally be back in the world of the living.

I would be all up in it if we got more TREK minimates. I would love to have officially made TNG, ENT, VGR, DS9, SNW, DISCO, PICARD, LD, and any other trek series in minimates form  Would love to get official uniforms for minimates over the ones I have made myself  Would also love to see more Star Trek Aliens in minimates form.
