  1. Just this morning found Captain Marvel MiniMates at one of my local Walgreens. I got a complete set, only wish I had a second set to open. Now I hope I find Endgame MIniMates VERY SOON!
  2. I just got my box sets from Luke. I already have them on display and only wish I had the Walgreen's sets to add to them. I had a hard time getting the shoulder parts off of Hulk but finally got them to pop off. I have not seen the movie, but I wanted an Iron Man in the Quantum Suit so I popped the gun off of the War Machine and used an Iron Man mask from the IW Iron Man. I have it displayed off to the side of my other that are official. I could customize Thor and Captain America if I wanted to, along with Captain Marvel all in Quantum Suits but will hold out hope I get the Walgreen's sets.
  3. GREAT, It looks like you can take Hulk apart to make a regular body to go with one of the extra heads, as there are hands and feet packed with the set. Also, War Machine looks like his chest block would not match the regular chest block due to the chest piece only covering the upper half of chest block. I ordered three box sets, because one will never be opened, but I wanted to be able to have enough to make everyone in the Quantum Realm suits and even maybe make Captain Marvel in the suit as well. So then I ordered a fourth set just to play it safe. Can't wait to see the movie and I only hope that any of the six local Walgreens in my area gets Endgame mates as they still have never gotten Captain Marvel mates.
  4. Good Looking MiniMate! I really like the look but I am not a fan of the movie so I did not order one. But you did a great job with this custom minimate, Luke. Just wanted to let you know.
  5. From what images have been shared, there is no mask for Tony Stark in the box set. But it odd that we get Scott Lang without his helmet and then with his helmet in the box set.
  6. I have used parts from Halo and the Ripley Space Suit to make a Michael Burnham in a suit that resembles the one she wore in the first episode of Discovery. I only have seen images as I did not get to watch the first episode nor do I subscribe to CBS All Access. But I am not sure whose head I used but it was a African American Female head I found in my parts container. But I would like to get more Star Trek minimates so I guess I have to scavenge to get parts that may work to customize for the rest of the time I am able to do so.
  7. For example you DST could use the transparent yellow legs and arms from the Astral Dr. Strange and put them on a Kirk torso and with standard Kirk head and hair and you have one similar to the Playmates Transporter Kirk in the pic before this post. If I had more of the transparent promo minimates, I would try to make Transporter Effect Star Trek MiniMates for sure.
  8. If you did a box set of the TOS space suits / environmental suits with four figures, you would get a Kirk and a Spock in the suits from TMP and a Chekov and McCoy in the suits from the series and then have the parts to make them in their uniforms from the respective appearance, but you would get a second set to head swap Kirk and Spock to make the space suits from the series. Don't recall any space suit/EV suits from TNG until the movies, but the same thing, Picard, Worf and Lt. Hawk in the suits with parts to make them in their Movie Uniforms, the the fourth figure could be Cochrane or Lily Sloan. Then we would get Worf and maybe there would be parts to make his TNG uniform as well to encourage multiple purchases. Not sure about EV suits on DS9 either, but I know Voyager had them. Paris and Torres in EV suits with parts to make them in their standard uniforms with The Doctor that is transparent to some effect with parts to make him the ECH and then maybe Tuvok with parts to make him Tuvix. This would get some more crew members to join Janeway and Seven of Nine who were already made. Worf and O'Brien were on TNG so there could be a way to make these two in a special two-pack with parts from TNG and DS9 which would contribute to multiple purchases to get all the variants. Worf in TNG & DS9 and TNG Movie/later seasons of DS9, O'Brien in TNG, DS9 and later DS9 seasons. Thus it could have extra heads to make Barclay and LaForge. Enterprise, you could have Archer, Sato, Tucker and Phlox in EV suits with parts to make them in their standard uniforms and then a head for T'Pol for Sato's Suit, a head for Mayweather for Phlox's suit and then a head for Reed for Tucker's suit. this would allow multiple purchases as well and also round out the primary crew. Granted you would have an second Archer but the extra body could be alternate look he had on the series. A Transporter Series box set would work for each series as well. TOS: Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Uhura as they only need some transparent legs and arms really and maybe some glitter in the mix. Could give heads to make Sulu and Chekov but need more Kirk bodies to do head swaps, but could also have a Rand head to swap with Uhura if the arms and legs don't have flesh coloring on them. TNG: Picard Data, Troi and Worf as they also would need some transparent parts like TOS. Could give head for Riker to use Picard's body, LaForge for Worf's body, Dr. Crusher for Troi's body and O'Brien or Barclay for Data's body. DS9: Sisko, Dax, Kira and Bashir with Worf head for Sisko's body, and not sure what other characters you could do with this set. Voyager: Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok and Torres, with Paris head for Chakotay's body, Kim head and hands for Tuvok's body and Seska head for Torres' body. Could have an extra body for an alterate Janeway if needed. Just sharing my ideas like everyone else does on here. I know they likely will never be made into reality by DST, but that should not mean people have to be mean about it. I don't shoot down the other Wishes and Dreams that others share. I enjoy reading on here what others are thinking and wishing for that is what this forum is for. I for one really like Star Trek and Minimates and would like more official Star Trek MiniMates without the customizing I am attempting all the time for Star Trek with lots of creative licensing on my part.
  9. I am really wanting all the Endgame minimates but since all of the Walgreens in my area never got Captain Marvel minimates, I don't think we will see Endgame mates here. I live in Central, IL (Bloomington/Normal area). There is more to Illinois that Chicago and that is what sucks because we still have the first and second wave of Walgreens minimates on pegs at a couple of my local stores and it is not right because Walgreens uses the same UPC for all the minimates. So Chicago can move them and we are sitting on them here.
  10. There appears to be slight differences between the images of Black Widow's suit and Iron Man's suit. While the chest block does not appear to present the breasts of female, the legs do have some slight differences. Also, why do we get a Scott Lang head and an Ant-Man head, why not just an Ant-Man helmet to put over the Scott Lang head? Just stating what I have noticed.
  11. Who says we have to focus on only Marvel MiniMates for the dreams of a 10 Pack. If we did Star Trek, we could get a crew finished for TNG. The Next Generation Set: Picard (with parts to make Riker), Troi (with parts for making Dr. Crusher), LaForge (with parts for making Data), Worf (with parts for making Barclay), Yar, Guinan, A TNG Romulan (like Tomalak), Gowron, Lwaxana Troi, Judge Q (with parts to make him in a Starfleet uniform). I would buy at least four of these for customizing and one set to never open. Deep Space Nine Set: Kira (with parts to make her in a Starfleet uniform), Dax in DS9 jump suit uniform (with parts to make her the final season uniform), Bashir in DS9 jump suit uniform (with parts to make him the final season uniform) , Quark, Morn, Jake Sisko, Mirror Sisko (with parts to make him the final season uniform , O'Brien in DS9 jump suit uniform (with parts to make him in the final season uniform and to make his TNG uniform), Rom in standard Ferengi attire (with parts to make him in his engineering uniform) and Odo with different parts to have him in various states of changing forms. (I would get at the least four of this set as well, one would never get opened.) Voyager Set: The Emergency Medical Hologram (could be make slightly translucent), Chakotay, Paris, Torres (with parts to make undercover Seska), Tuvok (with parts to make Kim), Neelix in Talaxian attire (with a chef's hat and apron and parts to make him in a Voyager uniform), Kes, a Vidiian, a Kazon (with parts to make a different Kazon) and Borgified Seven of Nine. (I again would get three of these, maybe four as one would never get opened.) Enterprise Set: Archer in Away Team gear (or with parts to make him in an EV Suit), Tucker (with parts to make Reed), T'Pol (could come with parts to make her uniform from season 4), Mayweather (could come with parts to make him a Mako), Hoshi (could come with parts to make her the Captain's Woman), Phlox (with an extra head showing his smile), Silik the Suliban, Admiral Forrest, Daniels in his temporal attire, Shran the Andorian, and Degra the Xindii primate. (I would have to get at least three one to never open and then two to open to make all the crew and then have some for customizing. Discovery Set: Burnham, Saru, Stamets, Lorca, Tilly, Tyler, Culber, L'Rell, Georgiou, Savek. Could all include parts to make them look like they are in the Mirror Universe uniforms. Would get at least three of this set but I have never seen the series but would want it as it is Star Trek. Reboot Movies: Kirk (with parts to make him in the EV suit), Spock (with parts to make him in Academy attire), McCoy (with parts to make him in Academy attire), Uhura (with parts to make her in academy attire), Sulu (with parts to make him in EV Suit), Chekov (with parts to make Admiral Pike), Scotty (with parts to make him in attire from Ice Planet station), Nero, Jaylah and Carol Marcus.
  12. NEED SOME HELP, PLEASE!!!!!! I have Google Photos, because I don't want to pay for PhotoBucket or other photo services. What do I need to do to post photos from Google Photos to this forum? There has to be a way to do it. I can insert the links which I can then see, but no one else seems to be able to see them here.
  13. Here is my next Custom Contest Entry for Luke's Contest. My versions of the Primal Age Joker and Harley Quinn. Use of creative licensing is in effect.
  14. My version of Batman from DC Primal Age in a MiniMates version and with minimal modifications. I have since modified the shield and done some minor tweaking of the harness. I think he looks more primal than the one from the Funko Line. I made Batman as my entry into Luke's Custom Contest. Then he announced a second contest for a pair of MiniMates, so I decided to make a couple to go with this Primal Age theme but used creative licensing as one is not currently in the Funko line and then there is the issue with the parts that are needed and I don't have. So I made due with what I had on hand.
  15. There are truly some amazing customizers out there. Thanks for this contest.
  16. So I don't play the Kingdom Hearts video game, but I like the Minimates. The announcement of the third wave is interesting. So the Disney based minimates from this series are as follows: Sora, Master Form Sora, Space Paranoids Sora and Toy Story Sora Mickey Mouse, Organization 13 Mickey, and the Mickey Mouse in wave 3 (not sure what segment he is with.) Goofy and Space Paranoids Goofy Donald Duck, Space Paranoids Donald Duck, and Pirate Donald Duck Then there is Pete, the Soldier, Tron, Sark, Wreck-it Ralph, Jack Sparrow and Maleficent. So We got Four Sora mates, Three each of Mickey and Donald, Two Goofy and one of everyone else. I am excited for Maleficent and Wreck-it Ralph. I would like to see more Space Paranoids characters or Tron-inspired characters, but I am happy with what we have. I hope this line continues for a long time.
  17. Aaron Doral from BSG had a reddish jacket that you could maybe use. Not sure if there is any mate with matching colored legs but it is an idea if you don't have the Netflix Trish mate.
  18. Congratulations to all who got in the top three! It was a hard choice but You all did GREAT work.
  19. I would so love to get the Black Bat Battle Beast minimate. I had several extra Merk mates, that I did a customized version to make it look like the the cancelled falcon that was Robin-esque. I had read somewhere when the wave of Battle Beasts that was cancelled was attempting to pay homage to Batman and Robin with the two mates and that they would have been in the same blister-pack.
  20. Just curious, I ordered a Sark and Space Paranoids Goofy from Luke's Toy Store as I am a fan of the original Tron movie. Anyway, I am curious to know if anyone has noticed any paint errors on Sark. The red design on his left upper thigh is partially missing. The rest of the paint detail appears to be normal, from what I can tell. I am not too worried as he was the set I had opened to display next to my Tron minimate from wave 1. I will be ordering a second set to keep sealed. However, after noticing the error on Sark, I then noticed the painting on my Tron's legs seems off as well. All the details are there but they are skewed and not even. Anyway, I am happy to have Tron as a minimate and same as Sark, only wish we could eventually get more from Tron in general. Also, the Space Paranoids Goofy is much nicer in person than the online images made him out to be.
  21. Good Job to everyone who entered. I found it tough to vote for the entries as they were all very good. Congratulations to all the winners.
  22. I just got my order from Walgreens. I placed my order yesterday at like 11 AM and I got them today before 1 PM, so that was fast. I ordered two of the Cyclops/Rogue packs and two of the Spot/Iron Spider packs, but only one of the Hologram Tony/Madame Masque packs. I am happy with everything except how they were packaged in the shipping box. One of the Cyclops/Rogue packs was bent back. It was okay as I was planning to open one of the two, so that is the one I opened. I am liking them and may try to order more if I can come up with the funds to pay for them.
  23. Hello, handsomedevil. Welcome back (of sorts), I do find the multiverse a great place to keep up on the news of MiniMates and to get ideas of new custom ideas for MiniMates. I do wish it was easier to post photos to the site because when I do it appears no one can see them. And to you MisterPL: so very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I lost my mother-in-law 3 years ago and it still affects my wife and I. Just know that he will be with you forever in your heart and in your memories. My condolences to you and your family.
  24. Just asking, as I was looking to see if there would be anyone organizing a Secret Santa for 2018. I was not able to participate last year and so was looking for it for this year. I can't organize it but would like to participate if it happens.
