Shamrock

So I wonder who my favorite Batman villain is... Anywho, here's my third Two-Face custom, this time from Arkham City! Two-Face might not have been the most memorable part of Arkham City, but he's my favorite and he got a cool redesign so: Minimate. And I sure do have a lot of left sides of hairpieces leftover.

That memorial is great!

Oh wow, that DC Direct Joker face is terrifying when you take off the hat. Totally stealing ideas here.

Your customs just have so much style it's amazing. I love the way you break the "rules" of Minimates with their traditionally clean and detail-free paint jobs. And please. Please please please please PLEASE tell me that Mandarin Spawn The Scarlett Edge is next!

I think my problem will be that I'll want to make a bunch of the villains, but I'll have no interest in making Batman himself.

Hey thanks! I don't do non-Minimate customs that often, mostly because I don't collect Non-Minimates anymore. (Hardly collect Minimates) I'll do more if I happen to noticed I have the parts that would be perfect, which is exactly what happened with Scarecrow here. And I have been thinking about AA/C Minimates, no guarantees though.

Aw come on, seeing those customs of yours, you could do it yourself. Dig that Grundy.

Kamsm8, that jacket piece IS sculpted. I think I just started with a random skirt and went from there. And hey! Hows about a not-Minimate? Everyone here loves those, right? It's Arkham Asylum Scarecrow! Well, Arkham Asylum-ish. I was trying to make the tiny canisters on his glove, and got to the point where it didn't work so many times that I didn't care, so I just slapped a big honkin' one on there. Recipe is a GI Joe Movie "Doctor" figure, with the torso details sanded off, screws for the gas mask, real fabric bits, and real pins for the needles.

Oh, and M. Bison, forgot that one.

My own favorite Minimate is the Statue of Liberty. I feel like it's the only Minimate I have that I can guarantee I won't destroy to make a custom. Other tops include... Modular Armor Iron Man Salaak Wave 2 Spidey

I like the derp eyes on Manhunter.

That's what she said.

Ding ding! Punisher got it. No idea why I thought to start with the Sniper, which I never play...

jboogie - You're pretty close undeadpool - I probably will be, problem is I'm just can't really find the interest for customs at the moment, it happens from time to time, and I'm sure I'll turn around and go back to 'em eventually.

Hey, it's an update so pathetic that I couldn't even bother to bust out the photo studio for it! First up, stuff y'all won't care about! It's Shamrock Mk.II and Shamrock's Fiancée! Technically my oldest commission, even though she didn't pay for them. Much better likeness on me this time around, I'm not much of a Michael J Fox. And hey look! An interesting thing! WIPs I'm unlikely to finish! On the right there's Chell from Portal 2, who was going swimmingly until I realized the logo I would have to paint on her shirt, at which point I lost all motivation to make any new custom Minimates ever. On the left is a WIP of a bloke who would be part of a massive batch of fairly complicated customs. Any guesses? Till next time!

"Based on a play" is a really weird way to give credit to the source.

I have a feeling I would continue business as usual cause I would want to keep my job.

Can we retitle this thread "Rictor Gay(?) News"?

A Minimate hard hat? DST you tempt me...

I LOVE that Spiderman

Hot damn! Your customs got style!

If you folks want a look at how bad things could be for us, just take a look at McFarlane Toys

I got plans for dat gun.

Awesome mod on the Hulk. Can we get a pic with his arms down?

I've been drifting away too. Won't be making my own thread, because it's happened before and my opinions on the matter change often. I still love seeing news ones, so you'll still see me around here. Hellpop, my problem really is that I lose enthusiasm for customizing. I've kept it no secret that I only really buy Minimates with the intent to make customs. So if I'm tired of customs, I'm tired of Minimates. I'm sitting on two WIPS right now that I just have no desire to finish.
