Mystery Man Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Click the link to see the mostly good picture I took of it today. Made using a 1/8th and 1/16th drillbit, some black MiniMate parts, the classic Cylon rifle and the Pocket Heroes Black Manta head and airtank. I drilled a hole in the torso to accomodate the head from the PH figure so the head does turn left to right rather than just being glued on or something like that. I wanted to try to make a ball joint in the bottom of the neck to set down on the torso but I didn't want to chance it and mess up the only one I had. I think it turned out really well. http://astate.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3...amp;id=70302941 Any comments would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Outstanding! I had forgotten all about the PH Black Manta. Now where to scrounge one up?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 That's an awesome Black Manta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Great Black Manta. I was really hoping we'd see an official one released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
616commando Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I like it. Maybe an action shot in the future? It beats the pants off of my non-extistant Black Manta. Now only if they made little minimate babies, you'd have one heck of a diorama set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 That's awesome. I'm going to definitely look for a Black Manta Pocket Hero next time I go to the LCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Looks great, I did this too. I added a Justice Lords Superman crotch for some extra detail. Lego Aqua Raiders sets has little harpoon guns, the hand grip needs some trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastmaximal Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 by some magnificent stroke of luck, i found a two-pack on the cheap locally [if anyone wants the Aquaman and Black Manta's body, lmk]. i'd like to go the opposite route though: what size is the Minimates neck balljoint, so i can have that size a hole drilled into the base of the Black Manta helmet?
