buttheadsmate Posted April 13 Posted April 13 From what I am seeing here & on the FB site I can't help thinking that these fantastic 'visions' of Minimates may actually promote the line !? There's stuff being shown that IMHO would clearly sell well, if made ......if only there were an entity that made them . Quote
Nervous Rex Posted April 13 Posted April 13 (edited) Mork from Ork Had the toy as a kid, loved the show... would be a neat little set, especially if it came with his Egg shaped spaceship/pod Edited April 13 by Nervous Rex added pic link Quote

elhonez Posted April 14 Posted April 14 I tried a couple. It's unbelievable, but I feel a little dirty doing it: Quote
elhonez Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Last one. I couldn't get Anakaris right / plausible (as a 2-incher) with the prompts, but they look cool. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted April 14 Posted April 14 (edited) Am I pressing the wrong keys ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/147258461122?_skw=minimates&itmmeta=01KP6YTT3T93Z3NZ1V7K584YVE&hash=item224949cbc2:g:pzAAAeSwY5xp3h73&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCkX2AIrJaC6GdVbCqZPKSeuGdTGeZVcc%2BhkkNFt57lmlh%2ByOkNWaUAKrNf%2BaSNFWQgUk%2FAt5xxJi1CzJVsJrxDdZmXcsGHdMjtKf3pr6OdCmN0c9j%2FZlfUfU20RzZSfBA%2FLVwshi6uJahaFrZfXx54urtGjCz%2BsMeMnJEuD8ZoKS2%2F0aKFgmdxzMUvjvpXoniw0qnwVs4j1ffH770wf5rscSU2R3ctgNQjB5eydjdyBJbTtqonft2G1Fvf%2FzzFMcs%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5ai696xZw Edited April 14 by buttheadsmate age Quote

And is Hannibal Chew the character played by James Hong? My friends and I refer to the character as "I only do eyes". If so, he needs some fur trim. The other three are awesome! Much as I love James Hong, I'd have gone Leon. Possibly with a turtle accessory. LOL I'd kill for a Brion James Minimate. He could be customized into so many properties. He even played a heavy in a Mork and Mindy episode. Quote
elhonez Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Nailed it in one! (Lost Boys) Leon would have been a better choice for a one-and-done set, I was testing out what a deeper cut might look like. What was amazing was that my only prompt was "Blade Runner Minimates 4-Pack" with those named characters; I didn't edit or revise the prompt at all. So the distressed/weathered packaging was even a "choice" that Gemini made. I also did a Gaff & police spinner pack, but it hallucinated with humorous results. Quote

Well, if (Heaven forbid) Minimates never get back to production, this thread has given me custom ideas for years to come. And possibly some parts. Quote

cylonchaney Posted April 18 Author Posted April 18 These are moving to the top of my list of things to make. LOL Quote
Liney Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I'd take these just for the instruments, amp and things. Or if they came with Beatles mates... Quote
karamazov80 Posted May 6 Posted May 6 I've been using AI to generate fantasy 1/6 scale figures recently. Ethically, I've got mixed feelings about all this stuff. I HATE what this is doing and will continue to do to artists. But it is very fun to mess around and create imaginary figures. I was doing Super Powers, GI Joe, and Secret Wars styled characters that never were and never will be. For BHM! One of my favorite figures was the Desperately Seeking Susan Madonna. Here are some other musician Minimates I would love to have. I guess the audio monitor (?) is the 4th character? Though its off topic, here's one of the 1/6 Joes AI generated for me. Pretty unbelievable what can be done. Quote
elhonez Posted May 6 Posted May 6 I love that Police set, and the AC/DC one. Now I'll probably go down my own AI prog rock MiniMate doom spiral... Quote
cylonchaney Posted May 6 Author Posted May 6 Great stuff Karamozov. AI never going away. Might as well learn to use it. ... until it learns to use us. Quote
