MMao

Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad you liked it.

Not sure which one I like more/came out better, Gold Team or Blue Team. What do you all think?

90's X-Men Gold Team, Danger Room Session

I also really like this as a regular brown Wolvie; but besides finding the right face, I think the eyes need to be changed. The color off IMO, it should be white.

As far as mouths go, I think I'd go with wave 28 Sabretooth.

Really awesome group shot with the ML display Max. Really wished I got those.

Agreed about The eyes needing to be white.

As for Sabretooth (or anyone else's head for that matter) as a replacement head, there are two problems...

First, and probably most obvious, is the shade of Brood-verine's skin tone on his arms. I don't think there is any MM produced thus far that has that same skin color. I thought about switching the arms out too, but then the brown's on the costume would be off.

The second, and morehead scratching, issue is how different the cut of Brood-verine's mask is when compared to every other Wolverine mask (that I own). It is soooooooooooo short at eye level that, every head that I have tried it on so far, it only covers the forhead and the eyes are still very much visable.

Now that I think of it, I guess if I could find an existing MM head that had a skin color close enough to the skin color on Brood-verine's arms, I could take a bit off the top of the head and make the mask fit a little better... Anyone know of one?

Just wanted to add a pic to support what I was talking about in my earlier post (Brood-verine into Wolverine)...

...just need a "Wolvie'ish mouth decal!

Am I the only one who had zero problems with the Brood appendages straight out of the box? I just moved them carefully until they budged. No freezing or boiling or anything.

My Brood's leg joints were fine. A couple of them took a little wiggling, but they worked out okay.

One of them was missing a leg though. I'm just waiting for a response from BBTS to see if they will replace it.

On a different note, can anyone recommend a Wolvie'ish face decal on a clear background?

I'd like to make my Brood-verine my default brown costume Wolvie, I just need a regular, human looking face (with stubble and a growling or smirking face if I can find one) on a clear background so I can apply it to the back of Brood-verine's head piece. That way the skin tone of his face still matches the skin tone on his arms.

The proportions of the Brood-verine's mask are a bit off, so using an existing head is pretty much out of the question.

Absolutely LOVING the Goonies pics!

I came up with this Warpath not too long ago.

I always wondered how the black Warpath would pair up with Thunderbird...

I have to admit that I think it turned out pretty well.

I kinda think that T-Bird's torso is a bit basic, and wish it had a bit more detail to it. But I must say that his hair piece was an unexpected surprise. I guess it didn't look as cool in the pics I had seen as it does in person.

Is that a custom made Warpath!? I wants one.

Yup! Always wondered how a Thunderbird would look mixed & matched with the black Warpath, and I gotta say, I'm really happy with the results...

Found a Thunderbird for cheap, and the rest is history. lol.

Thanks Zach!

Just thought this one came out kinda cool with the whole silhouette vs flamebase thing going on.

^ GREAT shot!

^ So cool.

Love that shot! It might be worth lightening it just a tad to show off those garish 90's designs!

Not sure if you saw this in the other thread...

Crappier angle, but definitely better lit.

Forgot I even took this one...

Quick Custom, a custom using existing MM parts only.

Thanks!

And thanks Nessex!

Love your QC MMao - he'll make a great stand-in with the other 90's x-force minimates!

HOLY COW MJ! What ever could you need all those for? Are you campaigning to be the next army builder figure?

Sorry dude, but what's QC?

Thanks Jeff! Glad you like it.

Not real sure where to post this so I figured this thread is as good as any...

I had been wondering how this combo would look for quite some time now and just got my hands on a Thunderbird so was able to finally pull it off. I'm pretty happy with the results. Just wish the torso was a little more detailed than the simple lines that are present.

Overall, I think it turned out pretty sweet.What do you guys think?

I've been wanting a blue and red Warpath (and didn't want to drop $40-50+ on it) to round out my original X-Force #1 lineup and this is what I came up with. Now I'm hoping to find a pink/red jacket/vest with a flip up collar to spruce up a Boom Boom Mate.

Sorry for the dark pics...

Posted more of these in the Walking Dead Minimates thread...

DAMN AB! Those vehicles are NOICE!

Loving the B&W too.

I just realized you're TFao from TFW!

Haha! Guilty as charged. I thought your name looked familiar dude.

Oh my gosh, how did I miss that?

And by looking at your name, I figured you were on a TF board, just wasn't sure if it was TFW or not. lol.

Are ther any other TFW brethren on here?

Great shot MMao.

Thanks man! Really love the pic you posted recently and look forward to seeing more from you.

MMao, that is amazing! I'd love to see a pic from farther back to see how big that set-up is. And have you thought of doing a group shot of all your Minimates in there? That would be epic!

Thanks for the kind words and I'll try to do that pic for you soon. As far as my mate collection goes though, it really isn't as impressive as some of the others on her.

MMao - you have just convinced me to track down these sets!

Awesome pics, man

Thanks dude! And happy hunting!

That picture is amazing!

Thanks for noticing!

Any plans to so a Gold Team version once we get the upcoming new Colossus?

Definitely man! I am still waiting on a Jean Grey to arrive here in the islands too. But once that new Colosus drops, my 90's X-Men ranks will be complete!

Trying to get back into Minibar mode after a much needed hiatus. So to help re-tune my skills, I've been working on a minimate review for another boardie and though I'd share this little teaser (of things to come). Looks like I still understand how to use photoshop. Thank God for that. :biggrin:

Enjoy!

This is an UNREAL pic right here! Look forward to seeing more.
