Mnemosis Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I didn't see anywhere else for this, so I'm starting a new topic with this idea: An open-palm "leapfrog/handstand" hand that would have a peg in the palm, and jump bases/stands with a hole bored into the top of the foot peg. You could then place the palm peg into the hold of the foot peg to create the effect of a figure leaping, cartwheeling, hand standing, etc. Picture Spider-Man, legs forward/to the sides, one arm down and pegged into a jumping base, "leapfrogging" over a charging Rhino. Picture Daredevill, hand pegged into an MvC3 style base, planting both feet on Bullseye's jaw. Picture Puck cart-wheeling, Batroc back-flipping, or Wolfsbane loping into action. Mates are small enough that a peg system of this size OUGHT to work, but if it's not enough, I'm sure DST could come up with something similar along these lines to create the same effect.

dj87 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 could be a pretty cool, dynamic piece... probably perfect for Toad as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 A web-thwipping Spider-man hand, both with and without a webline attached. A Spider-Man with magnets in his feet would be pretty cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Magnets are available that will fit into Minimate feet...what their exact specification is is not known to me but it would equate to the size of a Lego stud which is ? ...3mm x 1.5mm ? This was talked about 'way back then' although I don't recall the size. Edited May 21, 2012 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already getting that hand in the Outback X-Men wave with Colossus so that Colossus and Wolverine can be posed together for their "fastball special".

Mnemosis Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Exactly. Added benefit? My proposed hand and the Colossus hand could be used in an Alpha Flight set for Aurora and Northstar to use their powers together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
