Yeah, I can understand DST not wanting to be seen as "following up" on Palz immediately after the line ended, but outside of block figure message boards I'm not sure how many people really remember them at this point.
With line-ups, I'd love the see the Buffy set based on the first season to get the iconic versions of the main three plus Giles, whereas an Angel set I think would be much better based around the last season (Illyria would make for an awesome minimate, Spike was there, etc).
Isn't the season thing what Palz tried to do? I think they were up to pre-orders for season 3 of BTVS (I remember this because they had new characters like Faith, Wesley and Anya offered) when the line ended. If they want to separate themselves from Palz a little and given the comic shops being a prime selling point, I'd think that the comics would be their first focus point before going into the seasons. Though given the things I hear about retailers not liking Max statues I guess that would mean no
Giant Dawn or Dragon Cordy
I'd love to have both comics and tv show 'mates. The four in the alley would make a nice connection between ATS and ATF though. But at this point I'd think I'd be better off making customs then waiting for these to be made.

Wow, that sucks that they're sitting on designed Buffy and Angel sets... the perfect time to release them would've been when the Season 8 comic debuted a year or two back, since that dragged a huge number of Buffy fans into comic shops that otherwise wouldn't have stepped foot in one. Even now, when a lot of those readers are probably on subscription or buying it in trades online or at bookstores, DST could still advertise the mates in the comic. If they were up to moviemates standards with the likenesses, I think they'd sell fine.
Yes, but it doesn't surprise me. Back when the Palz line ended there was questions about DST continuing the line. They said "we make minimates" and the topic to the best of my knowledge was never brought up again. Which is weird because I think Buffy stuff was still selling decently back then. A lot of the lackluster sales for the BTVS lines have been due (and this is coming from a board where the fans tried to save the line various times) to poor quality control. Lots of the Xander/Cordelia line snapped instantly, scale issues, lack of character likeness and poor selection for the remaining characters. Instead of finishing off the Angel line with main cast members like Gunn or Connor we got Kendra and Kennedy. Maybe nice additions but when you have a feeling that the line is ending it would have been nice to have a complete set of the main characters.
I would like to get After the Fall minimates. Just think of it. Angel, Spike with interchangeable vampire heads, Illyria, and
Gunn with an extra vampire head
could be the first box set.

Personally I think DCD is missing out on a big opportunity. I mean Blammos? (Or whatever their called.) I can't see that selling nearly as well as minimates. Sadly DST is known for giving false hope, I can't even tell you how many times BTVS/ATS fans have been excited about the possibilities of new figures, completing the line when we get another cancelled notice.

Personally I think it's Jason. That way all the Robins get minimates. But the hair do made me think it was him. Yeah it's a sunny smile but he had those before things went bad. The beauty of it is that it can be whoever you want it to be.

Pretty much. Though I've seen a corps group shot from GL Blackest Night 0 and in GLC that not all the Star Sapphires' (thankfully) have the same outfit. Miri has a more modern version of the old costume for example.

You have some amazing work here. I love your improvements on some minimates (agreed on Bucky not looking like a teenager), a few much desired figures like the Watchmen and Question. But also less known character like Wendy and Marvin. Your Toro is perfect by the way, nice to see him not flamed up.

Thanks so much for the comments everyone@
Starlight: I can wait. WARNING! Link contains what can only be described as "Speculative Spoilers" Also highly distrubing imagery of Hal Jordan.
Mini Myte: I'll add a profile shot with my next one.
:biggrin: You say that like it's a bad thing.
I got to find that very special Hal Jordon "Pretty princess" icon. Guy got turned into a woman the least Hal can do is strut his stuff. (But seriously is up with the barely there outfit?)
-
You have some seriously awesome work here. I love the attention to detail you have all all the costumes. I can't decide which one's my favorite but I like how you tackled Warths' head, I know these kind of things give most customizers headaches.
I'm assuming he's going to become a "White Lantern" The absense of light is black, while all colors of light added together make white, and he's kinda going on that track right now. Star Sapphire Hal Jordan is the thing of nightmares
Well...
Personally I'm really looking forward to Star Sapphire Hal Jordan. After they gave Carol such a nightmare of an outfit it's only fair play.
If nothing else Guys' reaction alone would be worth the costume change. -
I'd like a JLI cartoon so long as they kept a fine balance between humor and seriousness. Sort of like the Booster Gold comic series. I'd love to see most of these characters with J'onn, and/or Batman having to deal with the different personalities.

Thanks for the head up on the program. It's a little messed up on my computer but I'll try again.
I need two dome windshields...There are several 'legs' that shoot out
... are you making Blue Beetle's Bug? That was the first thing to spring to mind, reading that
and that Lego Factory... wow, looks like good fun. Downloading it now.
Yes, I've been thinking about doing the Bug for awhile but presents a lot of challenges in finding the right parts. Which will include a whole lot of blue bricks.

I've been considering doing a vehicle to put my minimates in. The problem is that I haven't used Legos in years and have no idea if my plan will work out since I'm not sure if there are parts for what I need.
I need two dome windshields, to be able to open the vehicle up from either the sides or the top half. That would need some type of hinges. There are several 'legs' that shoot out and I need them to not be flimsy to support the structure, are there any particular flexible lego compatible parts like that?
And I need a type of hatch/trap door that's flat and hopefully round. And help would be appreciated.

I am going to get all of wave 28 for sure, the Deadpool is amazing
Deadpool is definitely a must have. Makes me wish I got the Bishop/Cable pack so that I'd have a mini Cable. I wonder if it will have an unmasked version.

The face really works with the head piece. I may not like the outfit but the colors pop and the use of the lines over the body really helps bring out the shine effect on the costume.
