LOVE THESE!!

The red & yellow jean reminds me of the old marvel series 2 trading card of her. Recipes?

Rarest minimates?

ANY four pack at my Toys'r'us.

I've only see one in a span of 5 years- the secret wars pack and I stupidly past it up.

I agree...but does it smear? I tried doing that very same technique to the old Toy Biz Thing and it was a disaster.

I used to get excited about the ASK DST's. Now I avoid them since the answers always seem to fall under the:

"we can neither confirm nor deny" response. Meh.

Loved the video- even though I'm 33. And don't feel too bad about dropping that much cash on a minimate. I once dropped $150 on the boardgame Fireball Island.

Just a shameless plug for my new blog I'm writing/posting/etc. Covers pretty much all my nerd related likes: comics, toys, video games, action figures- minimates especially, and other musings of pop culture stuff.

I've created a 'follow' button along the bottom for those of you interested in getting updates in your email with my latest thoughts/rants and pics.

Enjoy!

What about zeros face from mega man? They're both owned by cap com right? For hair, I'd recommend something slicked back like the doctor/scientist from the Frankenstein two pack.

Cool, that's a perfect fit!

Is that CAT-LACTUS I see there?

Very cool!

Great idea!

You mean of other characters??

I vote Exiles Mimic next.

Agreed!

I had the Heroclix version of that costume/lack of costume.

Here's what I photoshopped together for an Exiles Mimic:

Or non-Colossus version, (just needs flesh arms):

His X-Men yellow & blue suit would need to be painted however to match his orange/blue suit.

Mimic- only because he'd (if based on the Exiles version) would come with so many X-Men parts that he'd make for great posing options/variations but also great fodder custom potential. Throw in the classic version as well and you'd have your own

MIMIC THRU THE AGES BOX SET!

Who's with me?

Depends on which version of Exiles you are referring to. I'd like the original team:

We already have a Morph and Blink from AOA. We'd just need Mimic* (A LONG OVERDUE MINIMATE IN ANY FORM!), Magnus, Nocturne, Thunderbird..........maybe a Timebroker figure? They've already made a vest piece.

Mimic would make an awesome figure:

-wolverines claw hands

-Cannonballs' hairpiece with goggles

-Cyclops's optic blast beam attachment

-Angel's wings

-Iceman's ice blast attachment or Luke's iceman sled

-alternate Colossus head and arms

and we'd need the classic version as well:

I think tinkerbells mini would make a great wasp.

I like it----but I think the solid silver arm would benefit from the design patterns on the original silver surfer figure to make it appear shiny and reflective.

Seeing that head sculpt facing forward reminds me of the dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park- just before he ate Nedry.

"STICK STUPID! STICK!!.....eh, no wonder you're extinct"

Yes to 5:00 shadow.

Didn't Absorbing Man carry around a ball and chain? (not referring to Titania- heh) or I'm I just remembering the trading card from the 90's set?

Side note- how do you make pictures larger? Ever since the new site's been up-my old way of linking images from photobucket was dropped.

Mr. Fantastic in that shot is hilarious!

Where'd you find that cave graphic?

Leaderfox,

Are those danger room walls from the Diamond Select X-Men figs? Are they all from different figures? Great idea!

PET AVENGERS!

The Illuminati have all been made! What are you referring to?

How about a thread highlighting the Incomplete Teams that are only missing a few characters? I'd really love to see that!

Also: New Warriors

I counted 25 customs I made from just Age of Apocalypse alone, including less than popular characters like Vincente and hugely popular but never saw the light of day Gambit.

This has me wondering if DST has any Age of Ultron mates on the bench.....from what I can gather, it'd feature very accessory heavy versions of popular Marvel characters set in an 'escape from L.A.' style environment. Plenty of knives, guns, pouches, jackets, backpacks etc. Great figs alone I'm sure, but even greater to expand on the Walking Dead line and other customs.

Exiles.

Power Pack.

Young Avengers.

Runaways.
