  1. Has anybody been watching The Strain on FX Network created by Guillermo del Toro?

    It's based off of three books by del Toro and Chuck Hogan, which are all available by the way.

    The season 1 finale is this Sunday night and I am loving this show. Highly recommended!

    If you enjoy Walking Dead or Monsters in general, you'll love it.

    I get a little bit of a Slither (James Gunn) vibe and some 1970's horror feel.

    So of course, I had to make some quick customs.

    The story is cool but the characters are what makes the show.

    David Bradley (Filch from Harry Potter and Walder Frey from Game of Thrones) is a badass with a grudge and a sword cane!

    Don't look at the pictures if you want to remain spoiler free because the main bad guy's look gradually gets revealed as season one progresses.

    I didn't add any weapons, but you could def find stuff like Guns, Machetes, and Grenade Launchers (to substitute as Nail Guns). Maybe even the heavy duty flashlight from the Fire Fighters minimates.

    Mr. Quinlan and The Born

    I'm still figuring out some things and will probably change a bunch of their outfits. I think I may try and add a cutout cloth robe for the Master. Maybe I can make Abe's Sword Cane from a scabbard and something else.

  2. I'm not a packaging completist but I am as far as getting one of each figure. I would agree with you that it's been relatively easy so far for people that have a decent TRU in their vicinity to keep up with all of the figures. Obviously not counting the Pathfinder promos and the upcoming TMNT chases. But the challenge of keeping up is absolutely the worst part. I don't find any fun in something being more rare or hard to come by. It really just subtracts from the experience more than adds to it for me. But, the point is to collect Minimates and getting the figures and being able to display them or build universes with them is cool. So if you have to jump through hoops to do so then that's just the cost of collecting.

    See, I'm a thrill of the hunt kind of guy.

    But you work at a ToysRUs? That's like a Lion camping at the Watering Hole.

    Also, these minimates look really cool.

  3. Very pleased with these Movie Mates. Picked up both these and the other New Xmen sets today. Old Magneto and Old Xavier I believe is the best pack and Storm is the best individual minimate; she also comes with an extra head and dark blue lightning. I wish they made more sets.

    The Quality is Xcellent! Don't pass on these minimates. Make customs of the other characters. I already have done a Movie Bishop and Warpath. Movie Iceman and Kitty seem easy to make also.
