The Geohound

At the very least, you know how to take quality, in-focus pictures. Welcome to posting. Here's hoping to see more of you. Join us in the General Pictures Thread if you feel so inclined. And all these lego pictures really are making me consider buying some of them. Crazy.

That's really cool, Zach. The mist on the lake. Impending doom. I like it. And believe me, I can not wait to shoot 2012 Jumbo Rhino either. I will take millions of pictures of him.

We don't have one that's a frog...

Zach, I think you're some kind of influence on me (probably bad, but we'll let others decide that) I went and looked through all my old pictures. I've been taking pics of Minimates since 2008, in the full years between then and the end of 2011, I have done a total of 102 pictures. in the FOUR MONTHS that it's been 2012, I'm already at 53 (not counting each hunt contest entry either) and I think this is largely thanks to you. Well and everyone else here who says nice things, but I think in my head I'm trying to constantly one-up you. Ridiculous. Oh well, here's to whatever the rest of 2012 brings. Somebody else post a bunch of pictures now. I feel like I may be putting too much time in to this. And because I'm nuts and find it difficult to post in this thread without a picture, here is Numero Uno. My very first picture of my very first Minimate ever. It's fairly terrible.

If you call them out on it, they will post. Nice Shot, Donny. I've spent the last five minutes trying to figure out if the background is the inside of a computer, or if you built some kind of miniature mad science laboratory. Either way, very cool. Blue lighting always makes everything seem 10% more fantastic.

On the back? Why it's the breast of both worlds!

Man, I WISH I got paid to take pictures. That would be awesome. Sadly, that is not my job. But it's something I enjoy doing with my free time. Maybe I'll throwtogether my own thread. Get back to it. Chop chop! Pictures must be taken.

Because you asked so nicely, Zach I still like the other one better, but this one got the more stealing things idea across. You know, sometimes I feel I should really just start my own thread instead of seemingly monopolizing this one.

LOL, nice one Geo! Why thank you.

If it comes with an SMG, that's good enough for me. And it is new. There's no SMGs out there. So now I have to buy a whole bunch. If it doesn't have the silencer on it, that's less of a big deal. I can find a small black tube thing to glue to the end of it and make one, but I can't just make an SMG body. Thanks for the info Zach. Also, Keyes doesn't come with a pistol? Drat. Oh well, it's not like he keeps it loaded. Also really looking forward to getting Shipmaster Rtas Vadum. That guy's my favorite. Does his face have missing mandibles?

I dunno. I did another one that's a little more cat burglar-y, but I find this one just more entertaining or something.

A different kind of fun. I wanted it darker, but then I couldn't get it to focus. Whatever. Just a bit of fun. Thanks to homestar17 for the trade.

Yes. And I don't want to hear anyone complain about the cape limiting arm movement. Not. A. Word. Well, at least not from me. I wanna know some weapons we'll be seeing. That's my biggest curiousity at this point.

This is probably a dumb thing to ask now, as it's too late, but I wonder if the ODST Rookie is going to come with the silenced SMG or suppressed Magnum. Most likely not, but still, would be awesome. And just for the record, if he DID come with either one of those (let alone both) I would absolutely buy a dozen.

Only place to get the cool chrome shotgun, but the Spartan Scout and Jackal Major pack came with a shotgun too. Less flashy, but I like it. R.I.P. Scorpion. There shall never be a love like we could have had. Alas, what was not meant to be...

Hello. Welcome. We all have a problem or two. It's fun.

If it's wrong to want an Amazing Bagman/Dr. Bong two-pack then I don't want to be right. I agree entirely.

Welcome to the team.

If you figure out an animal 10 pack, I'll gladly switch to Black Talon. He's a chicken.

Thanks Zach. Those are all fantastic. I can't wait to get the Hawkeye.

Maybe you could pair her up wih the Blob? I'm sure some people woud bite at that 2-pack and it would totally get devoured at stores. Delicious! Now I'm chomping at the bit for it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Brilliant!

I don't know how I should feel about that, Miry. I makes sense some times. I think. Though, I'd probably be more insulted if I didn't have a Dr. Bong banner in my sig right now.

If it helps you guys, think of it like this: we didn't give Disney Kang to make you all buy more Avengers, we gave Disney the Avengers so they would carry Minimates. Disney carrying Minimates is good for everybody. But Disney won't sell 2-packs, they prefer a higher price point. Once they picked the characters they wanted, we had room in the box sets to work in new figures. ENTER KANG. So basically, Disney wants the Big Shots for gobs of money. Obviously there are more than four of them. Disney says "Fine. Give us TWO box sets. We don't care." So you think about it and fill the spots with things that are awesome. Makes perfect sense to me.

It's just Photoshop, pop. Ain't no thang. I actually just made mine in about, uh, 20 minutes? Would probably be a lot easier to throw a new one together as I have a .psd template now. One word is all that's needed.
