I've done that a couple times; it's tricky because I'm not as careful as I should be, but removing the halo is one of the easier modifications to make with this method.

WookieFodder Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think Mimic would work with a lot of the young Xmen who time travelled back as their younger selves from wave 59. Maybe combine Beast and Angel body as a base http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=1967&n=Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermatt Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I used the young beast from the new xmen series. I used him because of his size and his head piece. It was pretty easy to modify it into the classic Mimic. Ive wanted to make the exiles mimic but havent gotten around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceCuseCuse Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The All-New Beast has great parts for a classic Mimic. I'm looking for kind of a kitbash between his Exiles and modern blue look, which I'd say @TENIME_art got down pretty well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Any ideas on how to make X-Men Villain named Bonebreaker, the bottom half of him is a tank. I almost think you could use the classic Toy Biz figure but it's too big. Probably would have to be the next scale up from regular Hot Wheels... and then find a way to get a minimate torso on there. Maybe we'll get minis of the Reavers and those obscure characters later on There's a character in Battle Angel Alita, the manga, that has a similar setup; but minimates from that franchise good luck!

Very little "Goof Off" on the tip of a cut off cotton swab (cut the cotton end off, sort of "whittling" the cardboard stem to a dull point). On 2/25/2019 at 8:35 AM, NerdyTrev said: Looks bada**!!

Yeah, I was trying to get as close to his Dark X-Men look as I could with some definite Exiles inspiration mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Bonebreaker- None of the sunglasses faces showed emotion like Gary Busey from Predator 2 Lower Torso- Matchbox Trail Tipper with back of dumptruck part taken off. Mounting Putty for now Movie Falcon Goggles, 80's Storm Mohawk(Or Kluh is also white)---could maybe use Anton Zeck from TMNT, or paint red mohawk from Yondu or Nova Corp Rocksteady Shirt,Animated Hawkeye Arms Just playing around, figuring out how to make him. Maybe just some electrical tape to clean it up. https://imgur.com/a/CLBYO7G Here's a link to the matchbox i used https://globaldiecastdirect.com/1-100-range/17613-matchbox-trail-tipper-dump-truck-with-tracks-.html Edited March 11, 2019 by WookieFodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdyTrev Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I feel like a good way to do the Reavers in a 2-Pack is to do something like the Nova Centurion where you can make multiple soldiers that don't look so identical. Have the tread piece as an option to make Bonebreaker, but the base figure is packed with standard legs to make some other Reaver. Alternate head for Bonebreaker, mask and chestpiece for Skullbuster and another random mask piece for a standard cyborg killer. Pack it with someone else who would warrant multiple buys and voila, instant hit. Something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could take a TV route and pair them with a Shiar warrior as they attacked the Shiar war ship in the tunnels but other than that I am pressed as to someone besides a Sentinel that makes sense and Inwould want to army build.

In! I have versions in Jim Lee suits but I could be persuaded by New Mutant body with female and male chest block and heads. ? at this point this “two” pack is a box set. Although I did turn a Madame Masque into a Freedom Force Mystique do so this is definitely my jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyTrev Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Hey, if DST could do the entirety of Wave 60 without feeling too jam-packed, they can definitely do this. Maybe put Skullbuster with some Wolverine variant (preferably a battle damaged Brown costume) to give up some more space. Throw in an updated punk Storm with a Donald Pierce and I'm golden. In fact! What do we think of this?: Skullbuster / BD Brown Wolvie Punk Storm (Mohawk and long hair) / Donald Pierce Polaris w/ Moira head / Reaver Polaris (late 80's purple costume) / Reaver This way you can have Bonebreaker, Skullbuster and at least one other Reaver (depends on if you want both Moira AND Polaris) and their leader.

AFMcGill Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Legion would be a good shout for such a wave, since he was in that Muir Island/Reaver story... and he's, y'know, got a TV show out and is screaming for a Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Bonebreaker in a two pack might be a little too tight. He would take up more space than Mojo/Spiral. The "tank" piece would need the majority of it's own tray, bigger than a Prof X wheelchair. And any of these scenarios seems way less likely as a boxset. It can't be super flat bc it has to somewhat line up with the height of a minimate. I syill think a hot wheels/matchbox is about the right size needed.

I can't think of a time where Bonebreaker has been the same height as other characters. Minimates are supposed to be bite-size and fun representations of characters. Otherwise the Mojo and Onslaught figures are trash because they don't tower over the other figures as they should. Same goes for the 60+ Wolverine variants for obvious, similar reasons. Or maybe I'm ignoring reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 And Goblin's gliders! But, you know, no motorcycles. ? Seriously, it's about the spinning wheels. The first Professor X 'mate came with a wheelchair with spinning wheels. That was a no-no. Wrists were slapped and ever since all of the "vehicles" have been static.
