I'll just stick to my own custom thread then. My mistake. (:

Awesome job as always Luke. The Weird Al 'mates made me laugh.

How about some TMNT love? With the new Nick toon coming out and the revival of the classics line- why not minimates? The heads would have to be sculpted of course.

While not really a base, I'd love to see an optic blast for Cyclops and a larger force field for Invisible Woman- change out the colors for different heroes/villains.

Time Killers- that takes me back. Is that the game where you could take a chainsaw to their arm and they'd keep fighting? That was a good one. Darkstalkers was fun too- those would make great minimates if they ever decided to finish the line (the skeleton rocker, the mummy, wolfman, etc.)

I may be out on limb here (or not) but I'd love to make custom Eternal Champions (the knockoff Mortal Kombat Sega game with challengers from different time periods). Has anyone else out there actually tried yet? My favorite character was Xavier, the heretic. I'm thinking 1st appearance Doom would be a good place to start. There's also the gangster- Larsen? can't remember. He'd be pretty easy to make as well. Any other ideas?

Getting SO close to finishing Hornet... just need to paint his helmet,add the antennae and fix the wings to be more tech less insect. Here he is in flight with Spider-Thor close by... And here's my Spider-Hulk. Love how this turned out. Just need to paint the pants blue.

Thanks a lot. Always liked these characters. Needed to round out my Spider-man figs for this image I'm going to be posting once I finish (think it was from an old Wizard).... My only hope is DST doesn't decide to make them. It'd be great, but I was working on my Citizen Ghost 'anti-ghostbusters' when I got the announcement they were making them. What I'm going to do with four Radioactive Men? I'll probably still finish them up when I run out of ideas for customs, but now they are on the back burner.

Here's how my Slingers customs are turning out.... First up, Hornet & Ricochet: Next, Prodigy & Dusk: Hornet is 90% complete with knee pads and a quick paint job to finish him up. Ricochet is there too- just need to paint the jacket. Prodigy on the other hand needs the most work. Dusk will eventually have the black arm cape added similar to Ms. Marvel below:

Thanks Garrison. Jenny was a Sand Serif from the Spirit with the arms painted for her gloves. Her hair was from a Mary Marvel figure.

Also feverishly working on the Slingers. Here's Hornet and Ricochet in the works.... AND, my Rocketeer movie cast. Wish I could take credit for the awesome Rocketeer, but my pal singsingjohnny make that one.... Left to right: Bigelow, Peevy, Neville Sinclair, Jenny Blake, Cliff Secord/The Rocketeer, Lothar.

singsingjohnny did an excellent job. I had him make one for me as we are good friends and both huge Rocketeer fans. While not nearly as detailed or impressive in scope, I did the rest of the movie cast below... Left to right: Bigelow, Peevy, Neville Sinclair, Jenny, Rocketeer, Lothar I also found that Cannonball's base made for a neat display:

I loved that comic too- took me forever to find the final conclusion issue. Here's some of my Spidey customs... Working on a Spider-Hulk, Spider-Thor, Man-Spider (from the animated 90's show), and the Slingers. Which are proving to be more difficult than I thought. Anyone else tried their hand on making the Slingers? Dusk is the only one I have done so far.

I've been working on my next set of customs- focusing on the 4 issue mini-series, Ghostbusters: Displaced Agression. Surprised I had very little to do for these, mostly part swapping. Here's Winston: To his left is a work in progress Peter and to his right, Egon. I'm basing my customs on the covers of each issue (so no bearded Ray or hoodless Egon). I have one finishing touch I have to make them and I'll post all four shortly. Stay tuned!

Also fixed my Delorean to make it more movie accurate. Painted the cables above the wheels black along with the side mirrors. Needs a second coat and fine edging to clean up spots...

I wasn't happy with the hair mold on the 25th anniversary BTTF Doc- so I made my own for an alternate 1985 Doc in black lab coat. Here's the original head/hair and the new with Marty recreating the 'skewed timeline' scene. Just need a chalkboard. Working on it. (: The hair was made with apoxie sculpt, the jacket from GB's Egon, and the torso and legs from the hover Delorean Doc. I thought the face worked perfectly as this was the most serious and upset Doc of the whole trilogy.

Thanks! I still have to do a version with his glasses off. I have an idea for a really cool setup using the hall of justice piece that came with the young justice figures. It's my favorite episode as well. I'd like to make more but not sure who else who make a good 'mate. Kanamit with to serve man book? Four armed Venusian and 3 eyed Martian? Waiting on the next zombie wave as I spotted a soda jerk with the hat I'd need. What are your other two fav TZ episodes?

There's also a great bulldog in there too in case you wanted one to go with any Rocketeer customs. I'll hopefully be posting those soon. Finished South Seas Club Jenny last week along with Peevy, and Lothar.

The dog I mentioned earlier was from a company called SafariLtd. They sell several different 'Toobs' of various animals from apes to dinosaurs and such that you can find at any Hobby-Lobby store. I always keep a minimate in my coat pocket just in case I run into something that might work. (: Here's their site: http://www.shopatron.com/products/category/740.0.1.1.72995.0.0.0.0?pp=48&sort_selection=recommended&pg=1 Here's the Toob for dogs, and what's inside: I found the first dog on the 2nd row makes for a great Einstein. Here's how he looks with BTTF 'mates & Delorean (along with my custom Jennifer)

Back to the Future customs update: Pics to come soon, but I found a great set of dogs that are perfect scale with minimates called Toobz that they sell at Hobby Lobby. I also created the pennants that Doc gets tangled into the Delorean and later rescues Marty from Biff. Super cheap and easy to make. I'll do a step by step with photos if anyone's interested.

Thanks. I'll take better pics later (just used my phone) but I couldn't wait to post these!

From shots of the upcoming Zombies set, it looks like we are getting a zombie sheriff.

Here's my two Twilight Zone 'mates: Rod Serling & Henry Bemis. Here's the colored (actual) versions:

Has anyone tossed around the idea of making Walking Dead (AMC version) minimates? I just got the idea to start after seeing the actress who played Maggie and who's real name escapes me-- last night. I looked on the minimate database and came across Spider Girl/May Parker! A perfect match! Any other ideas on who's a good match to get started?

Finished the easiest of my historical figures for Bill & Ted, Joan of Ark
