Minimate compatibility thread

palZ X-Files 'Frohike' has a beauty of a liquor bottle which "I believe" is a J & B Whisky bottle .......sadly a blend

In these dastardly times I have re-acquainted myself with my old friend "whisky " & we are getting along just fine

Lego has a few decent bottles that work for scenes but don't really fit in minimates hands.  and don't know if it's worth the shipping price to you but La Petite Brique does make custom Lego bricks and many are liquor bottles.

nice!  thanks - i will check it out

i'll have to look for that one.

and i actually had to give up scotch/whiskey b/c i get drunk.  so i switched to beer during these times b/c i can only drink two tops which will not fuck me up.  except for when i drank that 14% beer.  i was not expecting it to be that strong but i was pretty buzzed after one

Well, I bit the bullet and bought them Readysetz dios.  They actually work pretty well.

Anyone ever try the BMCToys  MarxTim Mee repro playsets?    The scale is 1:24-1:35.  I am tempted to get a few of the sets for the Pillbox bunkers and Higgins boats but was wondering if anyone has tried them already.

Amazing! Which set did you buy? I got the military one.

Got mine in the mail today and love 'em!

Any ideas on how to affix the mates to 'em?

Over 10 years later, I’m curious since the pictures won’t load. Whatever happened with this glider and who made it? 

[AugieWargo]

hmm. I wonder if it was an import capsule figure.

same here! I have the sci-fi set in my cart just in case I like the set I got.

[AugieWargo]

Will do. They are scheduled to arrive Friday but the post office here has been running slow due to the current global situation  so more than likely Saturday or Monday.

[thereasonsy]

Yup, just buy them all. 
 

 

[SCW]

Fantastic shots! Thanks for that!

That big smooth gray thing with the slats is one of like four different ones they sell. the other ones are slightly smaller and cylindrical  with fake plants sculpted on them.

yeah, I thought about painting it but it really grew on me.  it looks better in hand that it does in the photos.

[Heinous]

Got the military set and I love it. Here's some of the accessories painted up. I'll be posting more on my Instagram as I paint them 

 

[AugieWargo]

Painted looks so good.  I just ordered another set of that that and the Untouchables reproduction from another site. Same scale. Was holding off on painting my sets but that looks amazing.
