edge2100 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Well here we have it, the day I learned of minimates I dreamed of U2 in minimate form. 9 years later...here they are! See if you can figure out where all the pieces came from. Sorry I have such a shitty camera. Any U2 fans out there?! Whaddya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Bono and the Edge look great! I'm honestly not even sure what the other members look like, though You should get a couple guitars for your set-up. The "Fish Under the Sea" BTTF pack and Chef Duff 'Mates both come with one.

Thanks for the kind words! Yea guitars and gear would be awesome, I was thinking about that, it would make me want drums tho and i have no idea how to pull that off haha If you check out adam clayton--far right (bass player) i hardly did anything to him at all, he already looks like him. The larry mullen jr, (3rd from left) was as close as I could find, someone told me he looks like Guile from SF LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamsm8 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Whoa! I thought I was the only person to make these guys! My girlfriend is an avid U2 fan, so for Christmas I made her a set of the band! I had problems with finding instruments, so I made mine outta plasticard. Not so good. But those look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jthegreat Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Nice U2 customs. I myself am an avid fan of U2, in fact, I'm going to see them live in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding! I thought I would be the only one too haha that's funny--let's see some pics! Which era of U2 did you create? I really wanted a Zoo-TV era including The Fly, Mirror Ball Man and Macphisto but I couldn't get The Fly to not look like the terminator. I'm not sure how I would do Macphisto but I think Mirror Ball Man could be made out of octopus from the spirit with all the shiny silver. I too am seeing them in July in the new giant's stadium. I saw them in Sept--great show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super spider piggy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Great job! Especially on Bono's shades! Fun Fact: Yours truly and Edge have the same B-Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Nice customs! Is that Andre Drazen modified at all or does he really look that close to that guy? Here are some other options for musical instruments--drums included! http://www.buy.com/prod/metallica-master-o.../212944561.html http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4=263602_263622 http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=6645369 Man, KISS will give their license anything. We've got KISS Minimates, Kubricks, and SMITI block figures! I would totally jump on that No Doubt set but the trombone is bent to crap and that's the piece I'd care most about.

edge2100 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Nice customs! Is that Andre Drazen modified at all or does he really look that close to that guy? The only mod to Andre was that I added red and black to his pants to look more like Adam's--I think the likeness to Adam is incredible which is why I basically did nothing to him.

Mattallica Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 great job, I've had a set of 3" Metallica mates half done on my work bench for a long time this might well inspire me to finish them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I love Metallica! Saw them just last year, fun show, but they weren't quite as tight as they were when i saw them in 2004. Do you have some pics of em posted? Mini-James would be awesome!
