Check out the Aquaman (top left ) , I have always understood it to be a 'proto' ,if it's not, it is amongst the best customs that I am likely to see.

That is a beautiful Aquaman, BH. Is this something you own? If so, might I ask how you acquired him?

[buttheadsmate]

Yes I own the Aquaman , he was an eBay purchase from "that guy in China" * several years ago . My collection is in dire need of sorting out  .

I took that picture several years ago & haven't seen either the picture or the 'mates in some time . That Thor (in the pic) is pretty unique as is that 'other guy' with the beard to his left .......if I recall they are both from the *same source.

Thanks for the info @buttheadsmate!! I would love to see all of the amazing treasures you have in that fabled barn of yours. I’m sure it would be a sight to behold.

BHM, what is that Deception-symbol Mate in the lower right corner? It looks similar to an Autobot-symbol promo I tried to get going a few years back before I ran into a stone wall.

It's not a great picture is it  ? 

I have many oddities/protos etc. & somewhere amongst them are some customs that an original 'boardie' produced back in the really early days ....the days before I arrived here (2006)  As far as I recall, there are 4 blank type 'mates that have various Transformer logos .....I think that is one of them . I have a set . Shanester would know for sure IF we're on the right track.

The 'Thor' in the picture has been bugging me all day since I posted that picture ....WTF is that , even I can't recall ?

It looks like an early custom version of Thor's modern costume, with Colossus' arms and legs on the first classic Thor's body.

Thinking back on it, I finally realised that 'Thor' was a custom that my ol' friend (sometimes foe) TBT gave me at SDCC 2008 ........16 years ago when I was old but less old than I am now   It's still a pretty awesome Minimate even now & completely illustrates my passion for Minimates , it is simple but priceless .

 Sorry .

Hey @Barry and @DSTZach, I know that a few years back there were some designs created for one of the Nolan Batman movies. Do you guys have those designs, or at least know what the release plan was for them?

I wanted these so bad. That scarecrow....

No release plan unfortunately, they were just a proposal.  It was only Batman and Bruce to make the point of what could be done, but we put together some easy scene specific variants to show parts use.

Wow those accessories! 😍

I am honestly impressed by how well you nailed Christian Bale's likeness. 

Ugh... does anyone have dirt on Ad Populum's CEO? Anything we can extort with? I know it won't get these specific minimates but like...
