Hmm maybe too dark? I think I could make a button down work, but need that bright saturated blue to match the Superman / Cap bits.

Hmm, how about AoA Cyclops? It’s a nice, bright blue and just has a shadowy muscle detail on it.

I'm trying to game this one out, here's what I'm thinking:

Hat/Hair: Zoot? Bullock? Doc Brown? Tiger Jacket Rocky? (painted)

Bandanna: Elektra-Devil

Arms: Damaged Superman (or Shadowcat, if I don't think he should be as "tore up")

Gloves: Damaged Cap

Legs/Pelvis: Civil War Damaged Cap

Pelvis Cover: Pole Zombie, painted

What about a chest block? Any solid blue ones, with wrinkled cloth details? Like Sin-Eater, but blue?

 

 

 

For torso, what say you about Paul Monroe, aka Jesus, from the Walking Dead line? It’s a button down but might not be too bad.

Cardiac is like my minimate dreams come true!! 😍😍🥰🥰

I am guessing Sunday the 23rd for past subscribers and Monday the 24th for a general preorder. 

Thank you, sir! Should I just send you money now or do you want me to wait? LoL 

Great QCs! I often go through spells where I’m hyper focused on QC’ing all of the same “types” of characters. Like when I went full bore back into Minimates, I wanted to QC all of the magic users so I made Brother Voodoo, Dr. Druid, Baron Mordo, and Nightmare. 

@luke314piwhen will the preorder for Cardiac go up? No rush, I just don’t wanna miss this one. 

Bobby the Barbarian looks to be a real good start to a Pip the Troll QC. 
 

But, these look really good. I will be ordering these.

Hellfire Club:

Six figures total

4 male bodies: One larger body - two heads one for Leland one for Van Roehm. Three regular sized bodies - heads for Shaw, Wyngarde, Da Costa, Pierce. 
 

Two female bodies: one in the white outfit, one in the black outfit. Heads for Frost, Tessa, Selene, Jean Grey. 
 

Encourages multiple purchases to make the whole Hellfire Club. Gets an updated White Queen. 
 

might be a hard sell with no true anchor, but, if the new packaging is really gorgeous like the Marvel Legends Hellfire Club, I think it would sell.

Superior Foes of Spider-Man:

Boomerang

Comic Speed Demon

Updated Shocker (I like the Shocker we have, but I know some have asked for an updated version) 

Overdrive

Mach V (since he was Boomerang’s parole officer or what-have-you) 

Spider-Man version for an anchor

Unarticulated Silvermane head on an RC car

We have Beetle, so this would complete the team.

Yep it's Cardiac! @Scorpion nailed it this time, although I suspect this may have been who @Freaqualizer was thinking of and held back so others could guess?

 

Yup! Sure was! At first I thought it might be Solo. I usually just associate Cardiac as a villain. I cannot wait for Cardiac!

While not “small” I would be fine with an unarticulated Old Lace.

It IS a nice assortment...

Sounds like @elhonez hit the nail on the head. LoL

I am going to show them, I think it's okay. By the time Chuck finds out it will be too late. MUAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes, embrace the dark side! You shall rise as Darth Burnsideicus!

Yes 🙂

I may have an unfair advantage here, but, I do believe I know who it is. I shan’t say so I don’t ruin it for anyone else. I can’t wait for this one. Probably in my top 5 most wanted minimates of all time!

My Kronos arrived today and he looks gorgeous! I was looking at the clue included and it talks about Ka-Zar who has already been announced. But says that the following custom will be a vigilante who debuted in the 90s in a Spider-Man comic.

@luke314pi, is this someone who is trying to avenge the death of a loved one? 

@elhonez, I’m glad I could help! Every once in a while I have good ideas! LoL 

re: torsos: you’d probably have better luck with the Yellowjacket minimate. I tracked down AIM soldiers about 6 months ago and they were disgustingly expensive on the secondary market (about $25 a pop). 

re: hair: you could use the X-Factor wave 90s Havok hairpiece. 

Can’t wait to see what you have when it’s all said and done!

I really want to put Wiccan’s cape on his mom. 

That sounds like a really dirty phrase. LoL 

@luke314pi, so good! I still can’t believe we got Shanna and never got Ka-Zar.

Alright. I've made my Bobbies, thanks again for all of the suggestions.

I've now got a bug to try to solve Neal Adams Angel 1.0. Yellow chest blocks, sure. Yellowjacket, AIM soldier -- any others? Bracelets are clearly Thor's. Red legs & black boots I'm sure I can find. I might have to delicately paint the most recent Cyclops' belt blue around his snazzy trapezoidal "X" buckle.

But the parts advice request...

1) I'm really lazy and don't want to make a chest decal, so I'm looking for a chest overlay with parallel straps, but one that is lacking all the frippery that often finds in these pieces, like holsters or grenades. Anyone know of a relatively "clean" chest ornament/harness with parallel vertical elements? It can be in reverse, too.

2) The other thing that might be cool would be a circular "bib" piece, kinda like Kang, but preferably smaller. Does such an animal exist? I'm starting to talk myself into a decal now...

 

Yellow torso: moloids and That Yellow Bastard. 
 

what about using a Colossus chest piece over a yellow torso? Would still need to modify it to get the wings on there.

Hmmmm.... is the clue perhaps the word 'Oldest'?
Are we looking for a particularly old person affiliated with the X-Men like Exodus or Gideon? 
Though... I can't think of what accessory-character might come with either of them 🤔

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I would love Exodus or Gideon. 

I think Torment Spider-Man is my all-time favorite look for that minimate.

Congrats @Trekker 42 and @Gmonkey2k! 

@DSTZach I’d be interested!

What does your Mongul look like? He is another character I’d love to see as a custom

My Mongul is:

Animated Thanos head cap

Sasquatch face

Kree Sentry torso

Animated Thanos arms including bicep cover

Kree Sentry Hands

Animated Thanos crotch and legs

Kree Sentry boots 

Not my finest work, and I would like to eventually make Darkseid, Mongul, Doomsday, Grundy in the larger scale like we had in the official DC minimate line.

My arsenal recipe might be a little vague because I made him a few years ago but to the best of my knowledge here goes nothing

Hair:

Ant-man Walgreens animated

head:

Chronic from blunt man and chronic set

torso:

marvel now Deadpool with arrow quiver from age of ultron Hawkeye

arms:

just random naked arms with beefy black gloves with finger cut outs

belt:

not sure where I got it but it’s silver with red spot in middle

legs:

Ant-man Walgreens animated

I think he came out pretty well for a QC let me know what you think if able to assemble?

 

I never thought to use Chronic’s head for Arsenal, but that’s brilliant! I was going to use a Silent Bob hair piece for the hat. That does look to be an excellent QC for Arsenal!
