  1. I just recently got the RIB beach assault and can confirm that these are awesome. They are just like mini G.I. Joes, I've been in mega bloks corner for a long time and its nice to see them continue to innovate in the world of block figures. The actual blocks have the strongest clutch yet and is equal, if not better, then lego. If anyone wants or needs more comparison pictures let me know.

  2. Update!

    What time is it?

    Ice King was made by chopping off his arms and putting ball joints in the shoulders. I didn't do anything to the penguins.

    The next figure is one that I've had done for a long while but finally took pictures of.

    Slender man was made shortly after the big boom in his popularity. The tentacles are from a mega bloks venom and held in place with marvel mega bloks hands.

    That's all for now. Thanks for looking.

  3. For me I always loved smaller figures. I had m.a.s.k. and all the knock offs, then I moved on to zbots and whatever fad was going on. Lego was my next love, the mini figs were iconic and easy for a starting customizer, but expensive(no blind bags back then :( ). I started yearning for more articulation so I dropped the minifigs and picked up my transformers collection. Hasbro had me for a while, the cybertron trilogy and classics were my jam. I collected them till the bayformers came about, I just really really hate what bay did for the universe and the character designs.

    I was thinking about picking up lego again but this was around 2009, the 25th anniversity of ghostbusters. My home page was a ghostbusters fan site and there was news everyday, about the game and Mattels line. Then I saw a picture of what peaked my intrest, gb Kubricks. I looked into them and found them incredibly tempting but realized they would be expensive and import only. Sad, I went back on my computer to find that another company got rights to make ghostbusters figures called minimates. Looked into them, found this site and got really happy. The next time I was out at toys r us i found the marvel wave with hulk/iron man, Spider-Man/green goblin and punisher war zone two pack. I was blown away that punisher came with so many accessories and that they all could be stored on the figure.

    I echo alot of the same points of intrest for the figures, the amount of articulation, number of licenses, and general attitude towards the licenses shows these are for collectors by collectors. I hope minimates are around for awhile, I have no problem buying into lines if the designs are solid and the figure is intresting. These have been great stories guys, always fun to to learn why different people got in to the figures.

  4. Coming from another transformers customizer, let me just say wow. Seeing Polaris from the start to finish was great. The end result looks fabulous, you sould be proud. Transformers can definitely be headaches but you knocked all of them out of the park. No doubt your buddy will love that Frenzy.

  5. I think a lot of people have the mentality that a custom needs to have sculpting and a new paint job. This just proves them wrong. As the other members have said simple customs are sometimes the best. With all the minimates that have been produced, everyone can make their own version of the characters as they interpret it. Your customs are great representations and have me thinking about doing these changes to my figures. Keep up the good work, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread for sure.

  6. Thanks so much for the kind words everybody. Shaggy's hair is not perfect but it works fine for me until I can sculpt a new one.

    On to the new...

    Batman from the Arkham games.

    (I swear the sticker doesn't look that bad in real life)

    Next up are my Mortal Kombat mates. I ended up only making three.
