Definitely not attacked.

That sounds like a call for one of my favorite things on the board, rampant speculation.
And reading hidden messages in Zach's words (that he never intended). 🤣
I don't know if I should feel seen or attacked by this. Probably both 😁

And depending on how you count, there are three villains.
So, my guess:
-likely a Goblin Queen
-likely a DarkChylde (demon or fully armored)
-Inferno-corrupted versions of X-characters (Malice is probably too much to ask for, but one can hope)
- I hope S'ym/N'astirh (or both!!!)
-Maybe that new Mister Sinister finally sees the light of day
-oh, and the mini has gotta be either baby Nathan or age-regressed Illyana

I am however personally dissatisfied that not one of the 7 Colossi that have been produced is definitive IMHO .....big boots do not make a big character.

My heart yearns for a set commemorating the Brood Saga, off the heels of the relatively recent Phoenix wave. Although, I recognize that it may not be "80s" enough.
Sprite
Deathbird
Brood-Infected Wolverine
Binary
Maybe another Starjammer, Ch'od & Cr'reee?
But, like I said, this storyline is the last gasp of the Cockrum era. Very 70's, not really 80s.As I have said before, I would buy the s#!t out of this!

I don't think so. Series 85 (Spider-Verse) is getting its packaging approved now, so 86 (Spidey set #2) will be hopefully be offered in a couple of months, and MAYBE ship before end of year. The X-set is Series 87, so it would PROBABLY be early 2025.
Did I miss Series 86? this is not the one with Peter Porker, correct? Were these formally announced?

No plans for new/current X-Men looks -- I think we've decided that new and fresh is not always the best way to go, in case looks turn out to be short-lived or not well-received. The next few sets are decidedly nostalgic, and the X-Men set we have planned is very 1980s. BUT it does have an obscure X-Villain in it!
Are we still talking Inferno? Is it N'astirh? S'ym? When will these be announced formally? This is my favorite X-Men era!

They are still selling the Eternia Battleground Set on Mattel Creations online and I believe there are rumors floating around about a few more sets but it has been a slow trickle the last year or two. Nothing new since I'd say middle of last year or so I believe.
MOTU Minimates would go so very well with my Thundercats, TMNT, GIJoe, Transformers, D&D and Real Ghostbusters mates and then I just need heroes and villains box sets from SilverHawks and we will be cooking with my childhood 80s cartoon classics.
Although Id also take Bravestarr, COPS, Tigersharks, Voltron, Robotech, DotE, G-Force, Super Friends (Return of DC Mates) and MASK. Though that last one really screams for vehicles. Oh well, they are my dreams so bring it all on DST!
What ever he said, I second it!

"The Ninja" and Master Khan
I made some minor mods to the Ninja, including the "Book of Many Things," a mystic book from which his bound soul could inhabit a human host body. For Master Khan, I added the pink fringes to his sleeves for comic accuracy and a bit more visual interest.
Steel Serpent and Lei Kung the Thunderer
A father and son two-pack. I updated Steel Serpent's green to be more comic-accurate, and printed a decal to capture the unique texture of his loincloth. For Lei Kung, I was never satisfied with the painted Bullseye mask, so i printed decals instead.
H'ylthri and Ferocia
No changes to either. Fun fact: as a plant person from K'un Lun, this H'ylthri is technically an army builder.
Yu-Ti and Shao Lao the Undying
No Iron Fist collection would be complete without the "August Person in Jade" and the dragon that conferred the power of the iron fist to its namesake. No changes here. I had "halved" and glued a MiniMate head to create a moving joint between the torso pieces, and initially had more sections. It never quite worked out though. If I ever re-did this guy, I'd forego the joint and simply stack torso pieces for a cleaner look.
As always, if you'd like to attempt any of these I'm happy to share recipes.
These are absolutely amazing!

That's pretty nice!
now all we need are some Castlevania minimates and it will make the investment totally worth it!

Pretty sure Kinder is owned by Ferrero. They are an Italian company. I used to have them all the time in Italy. They changed the packaging there. The packages are halved: one side has the egg and the other a creamy confection. They sell this style here in the US as well.

The scale is a bit large (as is the price tag) but this diorama looks amazing!

I didn't see what bhm was doing there until you wrote it out. LOL Was Padrino's guess a purposeful setup?
I wish I were that funny

These are great. I was working on a Sylvie custom using one of the Loki ragnarok torsos. The black and green one. I have to dig it up. looks alot like the costume she wore during the 1st season

Regarding my back of napkin look at consumable cost, I realized today that Padrino's printer appears to not require any toner or ink. The coloring agents are in the paper/film/sticker if I understand correctly.
This probably means a good shelf life for consumables and less cost difference per page than I thought.
that is correct. there is no ink.

I have about 100 minimates sitting on my “workbench”, which is just my work desk, that I’ve been cobbling together for a few months now.
These are all in various levels of completion, some further along than others. Some are just QCs. Other’s are QCs with modifications (parts trimmed with an x-acto knife). None have been painted yet, but, most of these will require some level of painting.
https://imgur.com/a/h6SvNBvStarting at the top left, these are:
Gorgon (will need paint on his arms and on his mask and torso). I may make changes to this formula, as I think I want to be able to swap hair pieces to show his eyes.
Solo (will need paint on his hair)
The Grandmaster (will need paint on his ears, eyes, and collar)
Maximus the Mad (needs paint on a non-visible part of his legs)
Baron Blood (needs paint in a lot of places, lol)
Nocturne (needs paint on hair, ears, and torso)
Commando (M-Nell) from the Imperial Guard (this is just a QC, no modifications)
Fandral (this is just a QC, no modifications)
Scourge of the Underworld (needs paint on the hat)
Foolkiller II (needs paint on the vest)
I think most of these parts are pretty recognizable; however, if you have any questions about anything let me know. 😊
I hope y’all enjoy!
these are brilliant! Love that Nocturne, Fandral, and Scourge!
Which torso piece did you use for Solo?
