luke314pi Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm glad to hear it guys! I have updated the master list, giving us 19 customizers at the moment, and possibly 20 if RaginCajun713 will consent to making someone other than Bender.

Kamsm8 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'd also like to making a submission, if that's alright. This seems like a really cool idea, and I missed out last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 This is going to be harder than I first imagined purely because it is going to be especially difficult to come up with something that doesn't look like a cylon,terminator ,borg or the guy from the DC waves ....whatshisface. I can't use a paintbrush to save my life so I always rely on partswapping .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't use a paintbrush to save my life so I always rely on partswapping .... Some glitter or tinfoil glued to any parts-swapped custom will add a shiny, high-tech feel to any Minimate. Honest.

luke314pi Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Alright guys, I have a few updates for you. First of all, the logo is finished! I have sent this logo along with a press release to a few different action figure web sites. I will also be posting it on the boards at RTM this afternoon. I will also submit it to Ask DST, just in case they feel like posting it. Next up, there is now an official web site for Charitymates! http://www.charitymates.com This is something that Fujis and I have discussed, and I have been working on it for a few weeks now. We wanted to be able to better promote our Charitymates event, and having a dedicated web site is one of the ways to get noticed by the bigger news sites. And while our annual Charitymates even is the main focus of the site, I wanted to be able to support various charities on a year-round basis. As you will see in the first post on the Charitymates site, I am pledging to donate one custom minimate per month to charity. For me, making customs for charity is much more fulfilling and rewarding than simply giving money. Every person helps others in their own way, and this is one way that I know I can help make a difference. Other customizers can feel free to join me in these smaller auctions as well. But I really want to make it clear that these smaller auctions will not overshadow the annual event. If anything, they will help promote it even further. In the coming weeks I will start posting customs from previous Charitymates events, in order to keep the site fresh, and to show these customs to new readers who have not heard of Charitymates before. I also plan on posting more information about Convoy of Hope and other past and future charities. If anyone has other suggestions for the web site, I would love to hear them!

Fujis Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Love the logo, Luke (how's that for alliteration?) and the website is fantastic! You've done more for this project in the past few weeks than I did in three years! Congrats and thank you for keeping this project alive. On a side note, I got a ton of work done on my entry the other day - how is everyone else doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) I'm in the planning stage for mine - trying to figure out which idea I want to go with, and if I can actually do what I'm thinking about. Really nice job on the logo and the web site, Luke. Edited March 11, 2010 by boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 That looks great! I'm almost done with mine. Thinking about doing another one actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Mine's put together pretty much. I just have to modify a few parts and drill a hole or two and then it'll be ready for paint. I just can't decide on a paint scheme to use. Decisions, decision, decisions.... BTW: AWESOME logo Luke!

groundhog7s Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've gotten all of my parts together and am ready to start painting. It was really hard taking apart my Minimate-scaled Mega Bloks motorbike for this, but it worked out the way I wanted. Now I just have to figure out how to do the details once it's all painted.

Mattallica Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) are we going with some kind or stats card for these? if so is/can someone more talented than me with photoshop (which means anyone) going to make a "blank" one for all to use for some uniformity in these 'bots?

Punisher Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yeah, we always mention cards, but it hasn't been done yet... I would love to see it done for this one as it fits perfectly to the robit theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I've got all my parts together, I just need to get to the modding part before I get to the paint choices. So for once, i'm a bit ahead of myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hee hee hee, now that's a fun opener to this year's event! I was a bit confused by the name at first, I couldn't tell whether it had something to do with julienne fries or with the robot looking like a jukebox... Again, spiffy work Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Well done! I think that sets the bar pretty high to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
