karamazov80 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thor (Head swapped with Sentry. I wonder if X3's Juggy would work?) With the shadows, it looks too sinister, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_cbecker Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 5 Best: 1. Straight jacket Hannibal Lecter - An unforgetable, signature look 2. Any Razor Cylon - great use of some new parts to make these spot-on likenesses 3. Wrath of Khan Kirk - Khaaaaan! 4. BTTF 1 Doc Brown - Great Scott - another very well executed likeness 5. The man with no name (Fistful of dollars) - Clint Eastwood - what else needs to be said Honorable mentions: Muffit the Daggit - for outstanding execution of a non-biped mate The Meat (Rocky 1) - honorable mention for a non-minimate, minimate Chef Duff - Frosting gun - 'nuf said BSG Red Dress Six - lots of sexy in a convenient 2" package 5 Worst: 1. Smart Hulk - nothing smart about dressing like Herman Munster 2. MA Hunkel - Fat old woman who fights crime with a pot on her head - what next, a spinach eating sailor with super human strength and a speech impediment 3. SM3 1/2 masked Spiderman - 3 words: $h!t eating grin 4. Lady Deathstrike - the clapper must not get much use in her house with mitts like that 5. Red shirt Marty McFly - the worst excuse to fill a package from the BTTF line. We'd have been better off with busboy Goldie Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Who'd you use? I need to do it too. I have actually used a few, and it changes every once in a while, since I still haven't found one that works "just right." I think the review on Minimates Central notes that the variant looks to have the absolute perfect face for Thor, but it is hidden behind the mask and beard. I have used Sentry, Hawkman, and Quicksilver at various times, but none of them quite captures the stoic, focused nature of Thor. Wave 5 Cap might work well, but he doesn't have a hole in his head for Thor's helmet. If someone has found a face that really works, then please post. Try the DC direct Aquaman. I reckon it's a perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you meant Punisher but I will give you Thor anyway. Aquaman is perfect for those of you that want to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimatter Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Here are my marvel picks: in no order Best: -Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man (underated) -Mysterio -Hobgoblin (to bad this guy wasn't more mainstream, great figure) -Apocalypse (tons of detail, very clean) -(Movie) Mark III Ironman (holy crap this guy's awesome) Worst: -Wonder man (looks like cheap crap) -Wave 13 Beast (whoever said looks like a poodle, agree 100%) -Professor Hulk (tiny arms, duck feet, dumb face) -Wave 12 Luke Cage (How do you mess up such an easy figure to do?) -Wave 6 New Wolverine (I just hate his face, he has that oops, forgot my wallet look.)

TBT! Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I agree in general with most people's good/Bad choices but to me the most interesting is that it gives a pretty good indication how far back people's collections go. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) I collecct DCD and BSG with a few Marvel here and there. So that has an obvious impact on my list. When I look at my 'mates, these are the things that stand out positively: 1) Steel 2) Cyborg Superman 3) Classic Batman 4) Red Dress Six 5) Modern Cylon These are the things that stand out negatively: 1) D'anna Biers 2) Star Sapphire 3) Lack of DCD Martian Manhunter 4) Lack of DCD Alan Scott 5) Lack of DCD Beast Boy (C'mon DCD, at least finsh what you started! These are glaring holes) 'Mate I couldn't live without: DCD Superman. (Faster than a speeding nerf ball, more powerful than a model train, able to leap tall bookshelves in a single bound!)

Chazwinski Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 My faves in no particular order: The C3 Joker from the BatCave set - I love his evil little face. Clear Invisible Woman variant - She looks unique next to all the others. Iron Man - The 70's version from the "Through the Ages" set. Wonder Woman Green Arrow - A perfect representation of the character in block form. I simply don't buy the ones I don't like so I wouldn't even guess at the worst...although I have disliked MANY.
