He has not been guessed yet! ROM will be in my upcoming Marvel Robots Sticker Kit in mid-June. 😁

Bonebreaker is finished and is starting to ship! Here is a hint for my next custom: This hero’s greatest weapon is something he wears, not something he carries.

Superior Doc Ock is up for preorder! He is a limited edition of 36 and you can preorder him here: https://lukestoystore.com/products/superior-doctor-octopus-custom-minimate We just shipped Maker Reed Richards, and Bonebreaker is nearly finished. 😊

That is so incredibly cool!

Yes but I am very much out of practice. I did a lot of 3D modelling 15-20 years ago. I even started a one-man video game company, published 2 FPS games on PC, and sold the company to an eastern European developer, and that included a lot of 3D design. Then I did an initial run of 3D printed Minimate accessories 12 years ago when I had a 3D printer, but I ended up selling it because it kept breaking down. And now I am too busy with my other company to get back into it again. Maybe someday!

My friend JPD Customs does my 3D modelling and printing for me. He's a very busy guy, so usually it takes about 6 months from my initial request to the printed product, but the wait is more than worth it. I have another custom coming up that features a really cool 3D printed chest piece that is the best thing he has made for me so far.

These are so cool to see!

Yep! And then mostly hand painted, with a sticker for the visor.

I love these Conans!
