UK Collector Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Really no skills , just make sure you don't have a ton of the clear on the brush, or it will more than likely run down. Just a small dip, and drag the one side of the brush on the rim of the jar to get the excess off of that side. Thank you, will give this a shot once my thundercats are ordered and received.

cdubya Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A clear (emphasis on acrylic) model paint is best. However, if you've no access to any you can always raid the wife or girl friend's (if applicable) clear top-coat nail polish (also a durable acrylic). For small projects such as this it will work just as well if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So have the symbols wiping off been wide spread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So have the symbols wiping off been wide spread? And is it only the symbols wiping off or any of the facial / chest tampos as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 All I've heard complaint of/seen evidence of is the symbol, and it seems fairly universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I finally got around to opening these after catching up on work over the last week. God damn, these are beautiful Minimates. Just flawlessly* executed in every way. Big props to everyone involved. *okay, the belt insignia rubbing off thing is kind of annoying.

TENIME_art Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I ran my fingers over everything but the symbols, and it all stayed put. Well, I didn't take Panthro's harness off to test his chest. BUT I CAN'T FIND MY PAINTBRUSH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the ones on your b-day cake? I figured you would have been playing with those for sure at the restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Well, those were covered in frosting, and technically my wife opened them, so I didn't get to savor the full experience. Also, I wanted to keep the "playing with them at the table" to a minimum so my friends wouldn't think they had accidentally shown up at an 8-year-old's birthday party..

MsMarvel fan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'd be more worried my friends would play with them, lose pieces and rub off the decals. Not to mention the sexual positions they would pose them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks to storm 1:08, I got these today. Fixed the logo's with some clear nail polish and they look like a dream. I'm really sorry for anybody who smeared theirs or who will buy one and not know to "fix" them. Regarding future waves, has it been mentioned anywhere if we'll see a Bengali, Pumyra and Lynx-o?

ufemizm Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 What do you think the odds are of getting replacement belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 No idea... but I'm incredibly FOR the idea of replacement belts, harnesses, capes and swords (all with the logo on them from this set). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 What do you think the odds are of getting replacement belts? Wouldn't hurt to try. It's customer service 101. They did not advertise that you should be careful with the belts so maybe they will replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't know if DST got in any replacement parts, but go ahead and check. I'll ask on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) I don't know if DST got in any replacement parts, but go ahead and check. I'll ask on my end. That's a good point, IIRC DST only designed these, while Icon Heroes made them right? Should people maybe try contacting Icon Heroes for replacement parts?

TM2 Dinobot Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So, I don't know if this has been asked, but are these online only, or might they show up at TRU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think that it is highly improbable that this particular set would turn up at TRU,these are after all an AFX licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
