Hehe... To paraphase... "Despite his girlfriend telling him it came, Pete was disapointed with his small package" T. Are you talking about my minimate... or are you talking about my, ahem... ? Infact... don't answer that! :sad: but alas, it was just a random minimate i got from ebay. I'd like one ....nice guns My quote confuses me!?

Fo Shizzle Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'm probably going to get something for my Blade minimate. They should have included a gun like in the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I ordered some of these. WWII era guns for Sgt. Rock and Easy Co. :biggrin: Plus some extra guns for misc. mates. I'll have to shave down the handles to fit the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robail2423 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Another idea I had was to just use lego hands in place of the minimates. I just had to clip a little bit off the ends of the lego hands. Now any lego weapon/accessory can be used.

bilbofett Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hmmm...., I never even thought of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujis Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 but where am i ever going to get just lego hands? BrickLink I've used weapons from Brick Arms for some customs and I've also used Brick Forge as well. Great pics, robail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robail2423 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thanks Fujis. Here are some more pics. These are now lego/mini hybrids. I call them lego mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 These are now lego/mini hybrids. I call them lego mates. Cool, the proportions look pretty accurate with the Lego head! They look like the Minimates in Luke's Punisher video game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypno Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks Fujis. Here are some more pics. These are now lego/mini hybrids. I call them lego mates. Awesome photos! What camera or lenses are you using? How do you get the Lego heads on the Minimates? Do they snap right on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robail2423 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks hypno. The camera is a Fujifilm S5 pro and the lens is a Nikon 60mm micro f/2.8. As far as the lego heads, they snap on and off pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Continued from my previous posts on page 2. More information is there if you want to know more about where they came from or just post here if you have any questions. All the weapons from Brick Arms except the chainsaw pieces which came from a seller on Brick Link. If you want to see more pics, check out my customs by clicking here.

buttheadsmate Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Thanks hypno. The camera is a Fujifilm S5 pro and the lens is a Nikon 60mm micro f/2.8. I am in awe of your photos & began to think that maybe I'd update my camera & go for your spec. I just got the price...& I'm now in awe of that. I guess the photos themselves speak volumes as to the capability of the camera & it's user. Pete what do you use? Ivan's Database photos are also sensational ,I wonder what gear he uses? Maybe I'll open a new thread? Edited March 29, 2008 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robail2423 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 @buttheadsmate, Yes it is a pretty pricey setup. I was able to get the lens for a good price on ebay. Are you thinking of upgrading to a DSLR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you thinking of upgrading to a DSLR? No ,I'm happy with my Mitsubishi Evo 8 Sorry,I just can't help it.......DSLR= Digital Single-lens reflex....right? I know zilch about cameras,all I know is that my Sony Cyberman Shot Mk2. won't take photos like 'what you take'. Enlighten me please .

God Magnus Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Has anybody tried the Elite Force figures from TRU or the Forces of Valor figures from Target? They might get expensive eventually but some of them come with a lot of nice looking accessories that appear to be just about Minimate compatible.

Fo Shizzle Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Some other people have posted that some of the G.I. Joe weapons work and since those are pretty much like the Joes scale wise I don't see why not. Personally I don't think all of the accesories will work because they will look a little too big but there are a few I am condsidering getting.
