I picked up a spare Cannonball/Shatterstar and Wolvie/Magneto I'll sell for cost if anyone is interested.

PM sent.

2 full sets + still peg warming at my TRU.

Would you be willing to pick up the three X related sets and send them to me?

If you have paypal or something I can send you the money.

Thanks,

ARuloff

Its my understanding that they are all gone now. but will check today.

Great thank you!

Even if there are just 1 or 2 sets left, I would be really grateful if you could pick those up.

Thanks,

If anyone can help an international member by picking up extra sets minus the Lizard/Spidey set I will do the happy happy joy joy dance!

Me too please please please please!

Thanks to Luke and his amazing service I got mine over the weekend, together with some missing NYCC boxes.

You can really the how this line has evolved when you put the old Professor next to the new one, there is no comparison.

Thanks again Luke!

Any of you nice guys willing to grab me the 3 X related sets and ship them to good ol' Germany?

Pretty please!

I plan on making Star Trek TNG decals at some point.

Yes please, I will take all of them!

Love the chuck customs so far and I especially like the chuck id card you did,I like it so much I edited a bit and saved it as my background{Allot I did was change the background grey{with the normal white I couldn't see the names of my files}and I changed chuck bartowski to just chuck{because while adding the gray some of it went over his name so I just added grey over the name then put chuck}

Wow, I am honord that you like it that much. I have never have anyone use something from me as a background.

Dude, the protos look great!! Can't wait to see more!!

Thanks so much. I bought some paint over the weekend, so the first few will be done soon.

There's something I can't put my finger on that seems off about Chuck [eyebags? smirk line?], but Sarah is spot-on. Wuv wuv wuv!

Mhh, I actually like the way the smirk works, but I can see what you mean with the eyebags...

I am thinking on using Classic Apollos hair for Lester, any thoughts or better recomendations?=

Thanks

Hi guys,

been some time.

I was busy driving across the United States looking for Minimates (and of course enjoying my vacation).

But now that I am back, I have done some work on actual Minimates, sadly none are done yet (still missing a lot of parts, mostly hair...)

But here are the first 3 dry fittet Mates:

Back: Sarah and Jeff, Front: Lester

Still need to work on the eyebrows from Jeff, but otherwise I am pretty happy with them.

Also, here is a teaser of what our titular hero will look like:

Let me know what you think.

Andreas

There DST, i said it. Give 'em Kurt. Now gimme my Jean Grey TTA set. Pweety Pwease??

I think you and i would have to commit to about 1000 sets each for this to sell enough to be worth DST's efforts. LOL

I would take one as well, so it is just ~ 667 sets each.

Here is what I found during my trip to the States the last few weeks:

Especially happy with the second one in the second row!

Wow what a great find. I hope you didnt burn up all of your good luck though!

I hope not, I still need 2 TRU exclusives. Also, I dont really thik I will find them.

But with what I bought the last weeks, it is impossible to be disappointed.

I will most likely go to all TRUs near here, maybe I find those X-Men Origins mates.

So, noone knows any Miami Minimate sources???

Hi guys,

I am at the end of my 4 week USA trip, and thanks to you I have filled some big holes in my collection. Especially Bob Harris and his Manhattan tipps cost me a lot of money (Vielen Dank für die Tipps, die Läden waren echt genial!). I even found the holy grail of MMs in a TRU on Merritt Island for retail price!!!

Now, if you have some tipps where I can get some Mates in the Miami area, I would really apprechiate it!

Thanks,

ARuloff

Sorry no Miami tips but... what was the Holy Grail you found at retail?

The X-Factor Angel & Warpath Exclusive.

We just were at Kennedy Space Center and the TRU on Merritt Island was the closest so I thought what the hell, lets go there. And there it was on the front of the peg.

Hey, it's coming back for a fourth season, there's more of us out there!

BSG Apollo's hair will be perfect for Morgan's faux-hawk, and I think Yellowjacket's hair (painted brown) would be great for Casey!

Yes, Apollo is the one I will get for Morgan, I was thinking, for an easy 1st season Morgen, one could the use Emo Peter Parker hair.

For Casey I was actually thinking about using the Old Man Logan hair painted brown.

For Jeffster I was thinking maybe Ultimate Thor and Venkman.

The bottom one looks too old. And, he has blue eyes, not green.

Barring any other attempts, I'd say the top one looks pretty good.

Thanks TENIME, I guess I will leave him the way he is right now and see what he looks like as a complete mate with body and hair.

And, awesome Big Mike!! Can't wait to see Agent Carmichael himself!

Thanks again, Big Mike was the easiest so far, he just is very distinctive. I have Mr. Bartowski and the turn-around face 'flashing' Chuck done, still working on Agent Carmichael.

As for Sarah's parts -

Gina Inviere's hairpiece

Captivity Six's body

...with some black feet for shoes.

Handgun

That hair piece is perfect for the 'Orange Orange' employee! Still looking for a good one for the 'Wienerlicious' one...

I hope I can find some decent parts on my trip trough the States.

It seems we two are the only ones that know Chuck on here, that makes me sad

I am so happy that there are no X-Men in this wave, this way I can save some money

Hi guys,

I am currently working on a decal for Casey from Chuck, played by Adam Baldwin, and I can not get the likeness right. Here are my tries so far:

Any advise on what I could improve to make it more look like him?

For those of you that do not know what the great Adam Baldwin looks like, here are some pictures:

Thanks for your help and I will show off some finished customes soon.

ARuloff

I am so gonna be broke for the rest of the year if they keep making X-Mates. I still have to catch up on the last few waves. Damn you DST!

I kid, I kid, I love all off those new Mates!

Welcome!Here is my music challenge

"king has found his queen"

EDIT:I edited b/c allot of songs had the same lyric

Infant Sorrow - Inside of You

I'm sure there are other NY residents in our multiverse who might help you out with some hints on comic shops and stuff, but I can recommend the following five places I checked for cool stuff pretty often during my time there. They're all located in Lower Manhattan and pretty easy to find: Forbidden Planet (maybe the best comic shop, but not necessarily 'mate-wise), Midtown Comics (great place and they have a huge selection of 'mates) Jim Hanley's Universe (the oldest comic shop in Manhattan, wonderful place with a small selection of 'mates), St. Mark's (pretty good selection on older and sometimes used toys, and also a lot 'mates) and Cosmic Comics (a small shop and unforunatelly a little more expensive than the other ones, but they are more unknown and therefore still carried a few of the w28 Deadpools while other stores were already sold out on him for weeks). There's also Toy Tokio, a weired, WEIRED place especially with asian toys - you'll get a lot of Kubricks and stuff there and just little 'mates (they only carried the Ghostbusters 4-packs back then), but you'll get a kick just walking through the aisles.

Hope that helps.

Great thanks, will check those out.

As mentioned in the CustomCon thread those mates are awesome and those aged pictures make them stand out even more. Good work!

Also, I wanted to ask, what product are you using to make your decals? Is it a german product?

Hellboy is incredible, for a moment I thought these where factory made parts!

Haven't heared of Sammlerecke, but I'll check it out. I know that X-Comics are selling 'mates, even newer ones, but Luke's the place to be, no question!

I know of X-Comic, even ordered one or two mates from them some time ago. I did not realise that they have any of the new ones, was really surprised when I clicked on the link. They have a lot of mates I am still missing.

Sammlerecke does not have any mates in stock but they will order everything from Previews for you, but I am sure X-Comics will do the same.

Times Square TRU was on my list already. Any other cool comic related thing tipps for NY?

So, the last few days I have been working almost non-stop on all kind of Chuck Mates with varouse degree of success.

Here is one where I am pretty happy with the result:

Big Mike

Any comments are welcome.

As soon as I get my sticker paper delivered, I will start on making actual Mates.
