Fizzle Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Oddly I only had to purchase two figures to make these, everything else was already in my fodder bin! Thanks to Luke for hosting tdecals on his site, and thanks to all who posted their images in that gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 is that Red, Yellow & Gold chap Hyperion? I'm not very familiar with this family of characters, but he looks great! I love the raised symbol on his chest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hyperion is the guy with the sorta atom symbol on his chest. I love me some classic Squadron Supreme and thes customs are great. The standout one for me is Golden Archer. He just oozes an Errol Flynn like coolness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Fantastic! I love the Squadron Supreme, and would instantly buy box sets if DST only had the wisdom and good taste to do such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirymate Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Really, really cool customs. The smirk on Dr. Spectrum is perfect. And the hair and beard on Tom Thumb look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ahh, ya beat me to it. I've been working on Squadron customs off and on for about a year, but I wasn't planning on going this deep into the roster. Very nice work all around! My one suggestion would be to get a set of slipper feet for Tom Thumb. Get to work on Nighthawk's Redeemers now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I did make TT shorter by cutting down his waist, legs, arm and feet - but the damn hairpiece makes him look all tall again! Ahh, the Redeemers - next on the list. Will the madness never end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just make sure you use a 3" 'mate for Redstone. I forgot to say that the one I really like is Amphibian; I'd thought about making him, but he's so minor... seeing yours, though, has got me rethinking that. Can I offer a few other ideas, based on my own screwing around deep contemplation? -if you want to make a masked variant Spectrum, Union Jack's mask works great. But Luke also has a terrific UJ decal on his decal page. Either one looks swell (I actually prefer the masked look, so that's how I made mine). Also, if you want to bring his power prism to life, Psylocke's psychic knife looks really good, though it makes it harder for a hand peg to stay in. -I like Lady Lark a lot, but something seemed off... then I realized: puffy sleeves! -Don't forget about Power Princess' shield; the Invisible Woman came with a few that work great (and, if you're looking for one and would like to trade, I think I have an extra). Again, really nice work. I hope you don't mind the suggestions; they're offered in the spirit of teamwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Suggestions and critiques are always welcome, that's why I posted! I have a 3" mate in the fodder bin, but it looked "too big" next to the others when I was contemplating the Redeemers. If I do Redstone I think I'll use the "duck feet" and bulked up chest piece to make him look bigger/taller then Hyperion. I so wanted puffy sleeves for LL but I didn't have any in the fodder bin. But since I eventually broke down and bought stuff to finish off the squad I may have to track some down and fix her up before putting the team on eBay. I'll take you up on the trade offer for the shield, what are you in need of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well, first let me check to make sure I do have an extra, though I'm 95% certain that's the case. I might have an extra pair of puffy sleeves, but that's more doubtful (after all, I'll need a set for my own Lady Lark!). I do know, though, that Luke has AoA Rogue available loose in the Toy Store, and she's all puffed out. :biggrin: Anyway, my trade list is here. PM me and I'm sure we'll work something out.

boyd Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I love this era of the Squadron Supreme. You've done a great job with them - I love the fact you made the whole team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I love this era of the SS too, I tried to go with the "this is what they wore at the announcement of the Utopia program/unmasking event". I wasn't going to do Tom Thumb at all, but I had an extra Terrax that was just screaming to be TT's beard, so I ended up with the whole team.

youbastards Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Fizzle, since you have listed these on eBay, you should know that using Luke's decals on items you are selling is a 'no-no', and he has that stated on the Minimate Factory page. "Terms: These decals are for personal use only. They are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works license.

dj87 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm sure Fizzle will do the decent, legal thing and pull the auction, yb. ... or just ignore you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 See, I'm unclear as to why it's "not cool" and all the complaining that goes on around this boards. 1-None of the labels were taken from Luke and used "as is", they were modified into my own originals,much like the labels on his site are changed from original minimates. 2-Luke most likely makes money off of the labels on his site, as I'm sure people buy minimates from him because they're making customs using those labels. 3-If you don't want people to make their own customs for sale, don't offer tools hints and tips on how to make customs on a site where you sell your own customs. As a loooooong time member of this board I'm prepared for the crapstorm this rant will unleash, but thems the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) A). Luke makes all of his decal designs from scratch. B ). By downloading and using his decals, you agreed to his Terms of Use. C). Modifying his existing decals doesn't make it "yours" to do with as you will. D). Luke is a generous guy who contributes to the forum and community, and deserved more respect than you gave him. You should have cancelled your auction when you saw his post. Thems the facts.
