That is a beautiful Aquaman, BH. Is this something you own? If so, might I ask how you acquired him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 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.

Freaqualizer Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 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 ?

BuffaloDelorean Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It looks like an early custom version of Thor's modern costume, with Colossus' arms and legs on the first classic Thor's body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
