Lurch77 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Some truly great pics. Congrats to Eric, Jason & Neta-Lee! Geohound had a great up close pic of Taskmaster/Redfield, it really looks like it was directly from the game. Squall's Dante/Deadpool is absolutely beautiful! Who did the picture with Magneto levitating Arthur? That one was my favorite. Since a couple people asked where I took the picture, here's the story. There's an old abandoned Parker factory (have no idea what they made) about half a mile from where I live; most of the building has been torn down except one end, there's a bunch of graffiti on the walls (finding a part without a bunch of curse words was fun). There were also a few big brick walls that have holes punched in. It's a really cool place for pictures. I ended up going back a couple days in a row to take pictures, the first day I didn't get a good one with all the figures in focus. Also my yellow magic marker was dried out so didn't fill in the part on Capcom 3. I took good markers back the next day and found that stone had that neat faded look. I have a few other pics from around that place that I'll end up posting on some of the MMC reviews. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Man, congrats to Lurch and all the runners up. Everybody had such awesome pics. I hope DST does more of these contests, because they are just so much fun to do things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Congrats you guys!!! I was surprised that I was chosen as a runner up, there were so many great photos taken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Congrats to all the winners! This certainly was fun doing this and looking at all the other entries. There were so many good ones. I hope they do something like this again. Who did the picture with Magneto levitating Arthur? That one was my favorite. If you're talking about the simple dark one, that was me.

Lurch77 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I love coming back from vacation and finding minimates waiting :biggrin: Got some really cool sets and figures including TRU w13 Mirage/Magma, artwork with Nariko from Heavenly Sword and the Sentinel prototype. Thanks Zack & DST/AA! I got to get working on some reviews of all of these and get them posted on MMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 So Pencil Art #2 is Sarah Connor, right? I'm guessing Heavenly Sword was planned with Kratos and others for another Sony set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Man that thing would be so cool to have hanging on a wall. The thing is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Damn you buyers!!! Damn you to hell!!! I've lost kratos because of you!!! Zach could you possibly do a god of war wave? Could you try it again with Sony? If tomb raider can work then god of war will definitely work. The first sony wave didn't have any of the big and interesting names. God of war,metal gear solid,twisted metal and different clothes for drake and sully instead of Chloe would made it and instant win. Could we atleast get a kratos mini like the Alice one to promote god of war: ascension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we didn't get the Heavenly Sword girl minimate either, i don't think it's the buyers, it's that Sony wasn't interested. Hell, DST could have even drawn them up first to propose to Sony and Sony said no. It's not always cut and dry "let's make this thing." Tomb Raider, it looks like, is her own license, so that's different, and Alice only happened because they have a license for Action Figures for the game.

Sony mates weren't a huge success. If Sony tried it again they should try it with one property. If tomb raider can work as a series god of war can work for sure. Same goes for metal gear solid.

But, that's not how it works. If they weren't a success for Sony, Sony won't buy back in, and if the design was already drawn up when they said no, then they really won't be doing so. The Tomb Raider analogy doesn't work either...we don't know a thing about Tomb Raider's license and they didn't even have full permission to make market her when they showed the figure publicly at her first reveal. God of War most likely is harder to get and even less possible. And, keep in mind, Star Wars, for example, would work for sure too, but that would never happen by the same logic: Just because it works doesn't mean it's possible. OF COURSE, Zach could come by and dismiss the entire thing, and i would be very happy to be wrong, but it isn't likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yeah I know. Same goes for gi joe. But hasbro would never give the rights. Anyway hope dies last. Sf failed buy now we have it paired with tekken and have some of the characters in the mvc3 line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sony mates weren't a huge success. They were a success from my point of view,brilliantly executed & beautifully made. I haven't a clue WTF the characters are but I'll bet a few dollars that some of these Minimates will become very desirable in due course.
