Thank you all, super kindly!

Cobra Trooper
 

Ninja Force Storm Shadow head
4 pack Cobra Commander body, knight sheath, knife, hands
FCBD GI Joe 4 pack Cobra Commander boots, helmet
Hawkeye/Sarah Connor webgear (Hawkeyes needs to have the quiver removed, though I toyed with the idea of keeping it, cutting off the arrows, and using it as a rifle/sniper sheath; Sarah's is expensive and needs to be painted
AK-47s from Walking Dead, snipers from various figures

Cobra Viper

Helmet is from various soldiers
Cobra Commander head
Civil War mercenary vest, chest piece (you can also snag the Civil War guard helmet)
Various black t-shirt arms (Hawkeye for the above has these, too)
Rifle is from various sci-fi Marvel figures
Brock Lumlow legs
Endgame Ronin gauntlets
Various Walking Dead/assorted riot gear boots

Holsters and handguns from various! May put belts onto the troopers, undecided.

Pending parts to do BATs, but the bulk of the parts ARE CURRENTLY LOST IN THE MAIL.

Crashing through the sky
Comes a fearful cry
of Cobraaa
COOBRAAAAAAA!

BATs are on the field!

The Battle Android Troopers are Cyclops bodies, Age of X or Carin Wight helmets painted black, scorched Endoskeleton arms painted for the sleeves, and painted holsters. Claw hands are from the robot from Lost In Space! Guns are from clone troopers from Star Wars, modified to feel sci-fi-y BAT handgun-y!

These are awesome! Great work!

[cylonchaney]

Awesome!

[nandoninny]

some chest stickers could easily be made for those BATS but i'm sure you're already on that.

awesome work!!

I don't have the ability to do that.

i used these guys.

they used to have an option for custom lego sized ones but for minimates i just got an exacto knife and went to town.

you can fill 1 sheet with as much as you want.

fair warning though -- it has been YEARS since i used them but i remember loving the results.

I'm unfortunately not really an artist, either, but I appreciate the suggestion. I may have to look into learning and 'getting good' with the lack of bites I've gotten trying to work with people.

[nandoninny]

oh, i just googled the image i wanted and stuck it on a sticker.  then resized it.  i printed a couple of each in case i messed up the cutting.

i'm at work but i'll see if i can find a good image on google for you.

[nandoninny]

Try saving the image from this one and resizing it:

Too many watermarks but maybe I can find something somewhere

Looks like there are no watermarks on the merch, but the images are lower resolution.

When you scale it down to the size of a Minimate chest, they are invisible. Though there's the ethical aspect to doing that ...

as long as i wasn't making this for sale i wouldn't feel bad

a custom for myself is all i used it for when i did it with band tshirts for my minimates

Agreed. I'll borrow from any source for a personal custom.

GOAT.

... Now I need to figure out how to print them- or pay someone to print me bunches of minimate decals for me.

There is a front facing photo of the figure at BBTS :https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/317581?o=1

if you wanted some "realism"

Seeing all of these has made me nostalgic and I hope some day we get to see the concept art and design sheets for the cancelled waves. Did we guess Major Bludd correctly? Who knows. 

[DSTZach]

Series 3 was Flint, Jaye, Stalker and Gung Ho.

Series 4 was Firefly, Major Bludd and... Zartan? Scrap Iron? I forget. 

I wish I had thought to save the designs, maybe Barry can share them. 

The Skybound designs were also great. 

[Barry]

Wave 4 was Mindbender, Firefly, Bludd, and Zartan.

Skybound Wave 1 was Baroness, Cover Girl, Duke, and Risk

Skybound Wave 2 was Chameleon, Cobra Commander, Destro, and Mercer.

I'm hoping to share designs soon!

[nandoninny]

yep.........

breaking my heart!!

wow.

all of that sounds like it would have been incredibly awesome!

 

[Navaan]

I hope Minimates continue/restart and we get those or other designs!
