Shamrock

It just occurs to me that this was the only poll Squirrel Girl could have fit in. If you'll excuse me I'm going to go fall into a deep depression.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm way more interested in getting anything from the first poll than these, but please don't think I'm not happy. Anywho, voted for Winter Soldier cause I wanna see that made, and Songbird, cause clear plastic.

Oh I just realized there's going to be some complaining again when the final results don't match whatever unofficial poll has their results public, be it here or MMHQ. And it's going to happen FOUR TIMES

I can totally understand people disliking these options. For the most part they're weird or obscure (which is why I love them) so they're obviously not for everyone. But is anyone else surprised by the complete hatred this is getting over in the MMHQ comments?

I think it's because the last time we got a new Ghost Rider was the Champions box set. And the last time we got any of the other choices was....well every single one of them is here.

Went with blue Ghost Rider and Grey Hulk. Both are pretty long overdue, especially if Ghost Rider gets us new fire pieces. I regret my vote. I REGRET MY VOOOOTE!!!

I'm conflicted. The world really doesn't need another Wolverine Minimate. But Spy Wolverine was one of my favorite toys as a kid

Thanks all! Two-Face: Yes he is, though not full no-color colorblind. I've got this big book about him and his art, great read. If I remember correctly he tells how he found out when he gave a friend a painting for a gift and they asked why the person in it had green skin. He has a go-to colorist I believe. Punisher: It's not that new, I had just been too lazy to set up a background for a lot of my recent customs. I just put a piece of black posterboard on my desk, turned off all the lights, set my camera's shutter to 5 seconds or so, and burst the flash a couple times per shot in different locations till I had something I liked.

Your customs are like what Minimates would look like if they could make them like the illustrations on the Minimate posters, and I love everything about them. (did that make any sense?) And a Minimate skull is glorious.

Hey, so I think we all know that Hulk was amazing in the Avengers movie. I had to pick up the Minimate, which was my first introduction to the new-style bulky Minimates, and they're fantastic! So I bought a Series 41 Hulk to make a custom of, and it turns out the slightly older ones aren't nearly as good with their upper arm pieces that don't connect for some reason. So that's cool. Also Tim Sale is one of my favorite comic artists, so Hulk Gray! Reference It doesn't really show in the pictures, but I carved fingers into his weird oven-mit hands. Also glued down the silly upper arm bits and did some sanding so he can actually put his arms down. So yeah.

Don't forget that Wolverine rallied the Avengers together to defeat Loki. The spider that bit Peter Parker was part of the Weapon X program trying to replicate Wolverine's amazing abilities in arachnid form. Who was it Matt Murdock saved before being covered in the radioactive substance that blinded him? Wolverine. And during the Secret Wars, beneath one hundred and fifty billion tons, stands The Hulk -- and he really apreciate's Wolverine's help holding up this mountain.

I'm not much help here, but I know quite a while (talking Marvel series 2 or so) I never had any trouble taking apart and reassembling the knee joints on Minimates. But more recent tries, like I just did on the Avengers Movie Iron man, at least one peg broke in half.

How do you make those? They're awesome!

Original wrestling costume & Crusher Hogan two pack, please.

The Tiny Titans are one of the first times I'm upset I won't be able to get a con exclusive

Under the paint of all of my customs is a Golden Spiderman

You there, you're my new favorite person.

That's it, I'm officially done with Minimates. Expect to see Shamrock's custom Wibbly Buddies coming soon.

How did that not work?

Hey, you people should totally do this.

Thanks for the comments guys! dj87 - I dont use any specific brushes, in fact when looking at them the brands on the majority of them have worn off. One says Royal something, and another says LaCorneille. Most of them are small though, if that helps. Hawkeye - Just the clear part of the helmet is a blister, guess I wasn't too clear on that. I did take some WIP photos though, maybe that will clear things up. The back half of the helmet is foggy clear, that's the glue stick tube, the front is the blister.

What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE! It's Mr Freeze! But hey, Freeze wasn't in his armor for half the game, and it was kinda cool how his fingers were turning black like he was getting some weird reverse frostbite. So take the armor off and swap some parts and you got tortured Mr Freeze! And the group, I like the different heights. Mr. Freeze was mostly made using an Iron Man drone. His dome is made from a glue stick tube, and the clear glass was a Minimate blister heated and formed over a 2.5" Minimate head (don't try this at home) The gun and random bits on the armor are scraps of fodder.

Hey guys, just another little update for The Penguin! Wanted to add the freeze gun he had stolen. Stay cool!

That's ICE of you to say! Nessex - CHILL!

Hey it's been a bit too long since I posted that "update" Kostisfire: yup. Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday Solomon here is a 2.5" Minimate, uses Killer Croc's belt, jacket and hair from a GI Joe figure, and some real chain (which is what the wait was for) Till next time! Hope the wait for an update didn't leave you COLD!
