  1. I just hope people here are still as generous as they used to be. Anyone remember when I came across a full case of these and hooked up some people on here since they were almost impossible to find unless you wanted to pay 3 times the cost on Ebay? I charged what I paid for them and didn't even charge shipping. Finding those all just sitting on a shelf collecting dust was probably the best minimate score I ever had.
  2. OK, my wife wants to give a pic of her and her sisters standing with her mom for a Mothers Day gift. We had it printed out and noticed that there are some greenish looking spots that need to be removed. One is under her sisters chin all the way to the left and the other is under her other sisters nose. I tried editing it with no luck. I need this done ASAP. Any chance that anyone here could do it for me. It would probably take someone with any skills to fix it in a matter of minutes. I would be forever greatfull and my wife would stop being disappointed in me because I have had no luck in fixing it myself. I attached the pic.
  3. Everything has been great.My wife has me on a tighter leash when it comes to buying things though. Its going to take me a while to build up my collection again, but its all worth it in the end.
  4. I recently bought a few of the Walking Dead minimates and was bitten buy the bug again. Unfortunately I sold off all of my minimates a few years back. This is going to be tough and expensive trying to rebuild my collection, and it makes me wish that I never sold them. Fortunately I think I can still get all of the DC waves of minimates yet for regular price plus a lot of the older Marvel ones yet. I gotta say that I'm glad to be back! This was always the best community that I was a part of!
  5. Very cool. I planned on making Taskmaster in that costume, but all I ever finished was his head I would love to see an official version of Taskmaster in that outfit.
  6. I have never done commisions, but have sold some customs on ebay. They have sold anywhere from $8.00 to $50.00 per minimate. It all depends on the minimate and how bad someone wants to see them as a minimate (not to mention how good the custom looks). I always thought that Luke would charge more for a commisioned minimate. $35 seems like a steal to me. I may just have to hit him up for a custom sometime down the line.
  7. Finally made it to a TRU here in Wisconsin. All they had for Marvel Minimates were the Thor/Lady Loki, and BD Wolverine/Captain America sets. I really want that Hulkbuster set and Betsy Braddock set.
  8. I'm liking all the new Marvel minimates that they have shown. I really hope we get a AOA Sabretooth and Blink two pack, AOA Morph and Holocaust (or another villian), plus hopefully the rest of the modern X-Force team gets released. It just sucks that I have spent the past week making decals for an AOA Sunfire, Weapon X, and Jean Grey, plus a modern X-Force Archangel....I think I will stick with making obscure Marvel minimate customs for now on like Sleepwalker and maybe Ravage 2099. Surely we would never see official versions of them.
  9. Great looking Blade. I made a custom of him a year or so ago. Nice to see someone else would like an old school looking Blade. A Midnight Sons box set would be sweet too.
  10. I caught it today also and liked it quite a bit. I actually haven't come across any bad reviews for it yet. Everything that I have read has been pretty much positive. My only small gripe I had was the pacing at times was so slow. Otherwise I think it was well done and blows away the lousy Aliens vs Predator movies. I hope that the sequel to this movie happens soon and is done by the same people (Rodriguez and Antal). I don't want to wait as long as we had to for this movie to finally get made.
  11. It's funny how some people are bitching about the sculpting that has been added to minimates and that it just looks terrible with this new Thing mate, yet people are also upset that the Lizard has a regular head and not a sculpted one. I am sure DST reads what we post on here as evident from the occasional post from DST employees. They can't make everyone happy since we all have different opinions. I am just happy that we are looking at wave 37. I don't think their is another toy line that has had this many waves of figures released. Be happy for what we have and complain about the real problems like the lack of QC of certain minimates like the latest Spidey box set.
  12. Do you have a picture posted anywhere of your Warpath? If he doesn't, I can get one sometime... Nice to see you still around here Crippler! Actually I tweaked the face a tad and made another for me. I will post a pick later tonite. I just couldnt give them up completely and have bought a few sets here and there.
  13. Overall I like this wave. I still prefer my latest custom of Warpath over this one though. Also I think the reason that I don't care for Thing is because there is no rock looking detail on his face. It looks odd without it. I do love all the bulk that they have added to Thing. I think it looks great on him. Now give us a new Hulk and a new Juggernaught!
  14. There was the Boogeyman but I don't think he would be do-able in minimate form.
  15. Great work on the Resident Evil minimates. You just need to add Tofu as a variant to the set
  16. Is it just me or is the Nunzio minimate smaller than the normal sized mates? I know that he has on the slipper type feet like Robin and Penquin had, but he still looks shorter. It is late so I haven't had a chance to compare him to other minimates, but maybe I will take him apart and compare each part of him to another minimate. Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.
  17. I just got back from TRU and picked up all of the new ones and also picked up an extra Storm/Klaw that I would trade for a Silver Surfer/Swordsman pack since those never showed up around here.
  18. seriously it is one of 3 shows I watch and it is first on that list....it is by far my favourite show on TV these days...even the 'filler' episodes are awesome, just you wait! Jeff of the Miniacs I find the "filler" comedic episodes awesome. Dean is such a dick all the time. He remids me a bit of myself lol. I hope the show keeps on going. I know there was talk a while back of season four being the last season. Glad that wasn't the case.
  19. I found these at TRU today too. I was suprised consider all the TRU around me seem to be the last ones to get minimates in. I picked up the Vigo pack and the Titanic Ghost pack. They both look great. I tried to access the site from my phone when I was there to see if anyone else was looking for these. Unfortunately my phone was having problems with displaying the site so I was unable to check the forums to pick some of these up for those looking for them When I got there it looked like two of each of the Nunzio and Tony packs and three of the others, although there may have been an even case ratio and someone had perhaps gotten there before me and bought a couple.
  20. Love the Sam and Dean minimates. Supernatural is my favorite show on TV. Have you been watching the past few seasons, or is your season 1 dvd set your first time watching the show? Season one isn't bad, but wait till you get to season three and beyond. The show just gets better and better!
  21. As a parent isn't it my duty to not expose my children to things that I may find inapproriate? I have absolutely no problem getting these for myself. Heck, I will even let my son see the skeleton looking one because he likes monsters and stuff. I think that the female figure in the thong is just a little too racy for my 6 year old to be playing with.
  22. I plan on buying these and have no problem with them at all. I'll just keep them away from my son. I just don't see the problem here. They are minimates that are based on comic book characters. You guys have a problem with the subjects that are in the comic, but I bet some of you that are complaining have gone and spent money on the Harry Potter movies or books. Both properties deal with the same thing, which is witchcraft and sorcery. One just shows it in a more mature manner is all. Enjoy them for what they are, which is some kick ass looking new minimates. If you don't like the look of them then don't buy em, nuff said.
  23. I went to three different TRU in the past three days. The only Marvel minimates that I saw were the Wolverine Origins sets. I still need the Silver Surfer/Swordsman set, so I am not holding my breath that I will find this new wave anytime soon.
