I'm glad you liked it. I'm not sure where you were getting stuck at, but the demo has a definite ending with a video cutscene. I think it is a good idea to make the keys and ammo larger, I will definitely look into that.

But think of it this way - these zombie sets will likely create many new minimate fans, which will raise sales, and give DST a higher budget to do expensive minimates like Hawkeye.

So are these a stand-alone two-pack, or are they part of a future wave?

These are awesome! I love the new parts on Black Panther!

No, Goo-Gone is not strong enough to remove paint, unless you rub the surface for like half an hour.

At the hardware store there is a product called Goof-Off. Put a little on a rag, and it will rub the paint right off!

I just got this statue in the mail, and it is a beautiful thing. The first thing that struck me was how HUGE it is. I have some Marvel VS statues from Sideshow, and this one towers over them. The detail is beautiful - this was $275 well spent. The legs, arms, and midsection are real cloth, the belt is real leather with a metal buckle, and the rest is polystone. This exclusive version also has an alternate head and shield to look like the 1940's Cap, but I kept the modern look. Here are some pics:

Thanks for all the great reviews over the years! I can totally understand why you are stepping down. I hope you won't be a stranger around here!

Thanks for the update!

Here are the 3-D textured models:

After I saw KGNINE's awesome work in the movie poster contest, I asked for some help designing some thugs for Punisher: Minimate Justice. The beautiful results speak for themselves. I will post some more pictures of these other thug textures wrapped around the 3-D minimate model.

I love the style of Torment Spidey.

I might have to give that Transformers DS game a shot. It sounds like a good time.

I can't wait to see the final painted version - he looks great so far!

There is a version of my game programming software coming out in a few months that is DX10 and Vista only. I might be able to port this game for Vista then.

Seanus, unfortunately it might not work on Vista. If anyone is having trouble with the DirectX drivers, try this alternate site: http://www.softwarepatch.com/security/directxdownload.html (When it asks where to extract the file, choose a new or empty folder)

WINNERS I have tallied the votes, and found our three winners. The votes were very close! First Place: Shamrock, Grindhouse Poster Second Place: KGNINE, Clockwork Orange poster Third Place: Kiyohime, Life Aquatic poster Runners up: TBT! Lurch jcastick Shamrock will receive a custom Ultron minimate, and his choice of a prize from the first page! KGNINE will pick a prize second, and Kiyohime third. All three winners will have their posters displayed in the upcoming Punisher: Minimate Justice video game! A demo has just been released of this game, and more information can be found here. Shamrock is out of town until Tuesday, so KGNINE and Kiyohime will have a few days to ponder their prize choices. Thanks for all the great entries, and congratulations to the winners!!!

Thanks guys! Voting is now closed. I will announce the winners in the morning!

I finished the demo of Punisher: Minimate Justice! This demo includes the first level of the game. It has a few minor bugs (press 'F' to open doors, not Enter), but overall I think it will be a good indication of the final game. Before downloading the game, you will need the latest DirectX drivers from Microsoft, which are available here: DirectX Drivers The game download is 61 MB. There is blood in the demo, but no profanity. The final game which will be released next month will have three versions: a normal version, a version for low-end computers, and an edited version with no blood or profanity. Here is the link to the demo: Punisher: Minimate Justice Demo The minimum system requirements for this demo are a 1.4 ghz processor with 512 MB RAM and a video card with 128 MB of video RAM. It will run better on higher specs of course. Let me know what you think!

I love it, especially the arm! Awesome work!

I am finished with the sculpting on the Minotaur, and I hope to get started on the painting tomorrow. With my crazy schedule, I expect it will take about 2 weeks to finish him.

The guy on the left is Jim Rhodes, and the girl is Virginia Potts. I'm not sure about the other guy.

Here is a cast photo:
