  1. To keep the price point in the same range (and to keep the accessories part count up, too), instead of a two-pack+BAF, make it one fig (probably a variant of an existing fig) along with a slightly bigger BAF piece?

    Also, how about not only BAF sets, but also build-a-vehicle or build-a-diorama sets too. Like battle damaged versions of the TMNTs along with 4 pieces that would build a turtle van or sewer/street diorama, for an example.

  2. Can't figure out how to attach pics the way I used to... dry.png Thumb nail will have to do.

    Anyway, for those that don't know, this vehicle is a 3rd Party Transformer fig made by Fansproject. I've had it for a while but it never dawned on me to try to see how a MM fig fit in it. I gotta say, it fits pretty well. Kind of a snug fit for Cable, with his huge vest/armor on, but the scale is pretty good

  3. Yup, same thing happened to one of my most beloved MMs... Wave 28 Deadpool

    I rotate what is on display from time to time, other than that I store them in their original boxes. So I took him out of the package and discovered the silver gun with the black handle was missing somehow. It had been a while since I took this particular fig out so I have no idea when, where or how it was lost. Still haven't found it.

  4. Here's my quick custom for Warpath

    Just combined parts from X-Force Warpath and Thunderbird

    Now I got the costume I want to go along with the knives and black belt/boots/gloves

    Plus I really like how Warpath's black mask and sleeves finish off the look

    Not perfect by any means, but a cheap and easy to acquire recipe for a great alternative to the hard to find and expensive Warpath that came with X-Factor Angel. The details on the T-Bird torso do come off as very underwhelming when compared directly with the shading on Warpath's face, but not as bad as I feared. Also, I first used Warpath's hair piece instead of T-Bird's, but even though I thought it clashed at first, that head band and hair sculpt really grew on me.

  5. That's why they're not standing like "static mannequins" your displaying 13. Display 300+ on a book shelf with them all running and it'll look dumb.

    Cool pic though

    I only buy the ones I like so I don't have that problem. I just don't feel the need to "collect 'em all". Plus, that's not my display, I just set them up like this to snap this pic.

    Plus, one of the best things about Minimates to me is the TONS of articulation packed into the tiny figs. I just think its dumb to just have them standing there like Lego men or Kubricks. Knees, elbows and ankle swivels BEG to be used. lol.

  6. I never pose my Mates standing straight upright like a static mannequin, so Wolvie being the same height as his teammates doesn't bother me at all. Hell, I prefer the overall look (claws, boots, mask) of Broodverine, so he is actually taller than most of his fellow 90's X-Men. Of course I have him going berserk on the back of my BaF Sentinel so...

    But yeah, I guess my preference would be to keep the short legs reserved for kids and such.

    T-Bird's torso is pretty basic as far as details go, but I really like the shoulders a lot. And I LOVE this costume. Also, I didn't think I would like the hair piece as much as I do, but it just works somehow. Plus the black belt and other bits from Warpath add a little something extra and ties it all together pretty well.
