Gorgeous, Liney. This one definitely scratches my Perez-era Avengers itch!

This is impressive. Would love to see a B&W variation to pair with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. Makes me even more sad to have not received that Timeless Toni Storm...

Is the back of the cape a sticker? It looks so clean.

Yippee! I hope it's the 2000's era space armor!

Quasar with his quantum bands?

Have there ever been Golden Age Green Lantern decals floating around somewhere?

Pretty spot on approximation! Well done.

I think it's a portmanteau of ultra and ultimate. "Ultimate" is the type of figure you see in those wide, rectangular boxes on that end cap near the TVs at Target. Ultimate Frankenstein, Ultimate Super Grover, Ultimate Prince Vultan, etc. So, one can assume that ULTRAmate (pronounced 'mit' not 'mayt') is a step further. Unfortunately, not a Phoenix-style resurrection of Minimates.

I'm sorry to hear about how this line crumbled. That's a pretty irritating turn of events. Some of the pairings from those lineups come across as particularly hostile, in the sense that it's a lot of the C3 characters redone. As if DC Direct wanted to get the message across "we can do better than you without you," based on what you said, Barry.

Alan Scott and an oversized Solomon Grundy is one of those lay-up 2packs I always imagined would've been in Wave 9. Along with Mister Miracle and Big Barda :,( I think it's just how DC ran itself at the time. The first series of DC Universe Classics, which released the same year as DC Minimates Wave 1, is endemic of this. Actually, the first wave of Minimates seems more focused on heavy-hitters compared to Metamorpho, The Demon, Red Tornado, and Orion. Many of my favorite DC Super heroes, but far from marketable, recognizable names. That broad variety and unpredictability is one of the things that makes me love DC Minimates. We got Sgt. Rock for cryin' out loud! A halfway decent lineup for the JSA (classic and modern)! Red Son variants! Blue Beetle and Booster Gold! Yes, there are glaring omissions (BLACK. CANARY.), but I wouldn't trade any of what we got.

Four feet?? holy hell, that's impressive.

King Kills the AEW Resident Evil Showing off some completed foam diorama pieces. Slap-dash cutouts done on photoshop. Lighting isn't my strong suit, but iPhone's pre-loaded contrast and brilliance features helps!

First Appearance Ryu for the head and torso.

I've begun working on my first real diorama! It's a basic back-alley, urban decay scene. Pictured for scale is my (technically) in-progress Shang-Chi. I had the idea to use this Gambit hairpiece, but I didn't like the way it sat on the head. So right now, he's rocking a Way of the Dragon look.
