Tad Ghostal Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 When I was a kid, Marvel had some fan clubs, one of which was called F.O.O.M. (Friends Of Ol' Marvel - typical corny Stan Lee!). The membership kit included an issue of FOOM magazine, a membership card, a couple of other things (give my memory a break - it's been almost 40 years!) and best of all, a big poster by Jim Steranko! A while ago, I (re)bought the entire kit from ebay, and realized that all the characters in the poster have appeared in Minimate form. So, one rainy weekend of photography and photoshop later...

hellpop Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Wow, not only do they all have Minimates, but even in the correct costumes! It's almost like that was planned. Funny to see how there's only one X-Man in that shot. That sure wouldn't be the case now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad Ghostal Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 awesome! but what is iron man doing? Lol! You're guess is as good as mine! I don't think I really want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 When I first saw the minimate poses I was kinda like what are they doing!. After googling the original I'm still none the wiser on some of them. Iron Man looks like he is diving into a pool. An as for Daredevil, is he swinging in head first from the right or as he tottally over shot his mark coming in from the left? Anyway no matter its a cool minimate recreation.

Zombie Shakespeare Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 It looks like Black Widow may have been riding Iron Man, but just fell off before the picture was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad Ghostal Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Coincidentally, I just stumbled on this write up on the club; click away for further inFOOMation (see what I did there?): http://www.backtothepast.tv/fabulous-find-23-foom-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
