Some Lego chima bird slip over mask 

thanks! I was thinking of that but did not think I would be able to make it work. Great job!

I'm always on the lookout for new stuff for the next Minimate Showcase Day. Sometimes I find awesome stuff that doesn't really work out for one reason or another. This set is the Mobile Suit Gundam: Options Parts Set, which comes with some really cool Minimate-scale pieces, however the retail price is $40, and the retailer discount is extremely small, so we would have had to mark these at $45, and I just thought that price was too high for what you get. Plus to really make these work well with Minimates, it takes a tiny bit of drilling.

The missile and blast pieces have a 1/16" metal rod inside that extend out in various lengths depending on the piece. I am assuming this is a standard connection size for Gundam stuff. I used a 1/16" drill bit to drill a hole in the center of my War Machine's shoulder cannon. The single missile piece and yellow blast piece fit perfectly, although they make him so front-heavy that I had to give him a stand. The double-missile launch accessory has 2 metal rods in close proximity, so I didn't mess with that one. The quality on everything is really good - I just wish the price point was a bit lower.

I Hope that's just a clever camera angle for the Hulk/Thor pic. Drilling around there to fix the cloud effect makes me wince.

 

Oh an the Hulk smile makes it all the funnier.

W.I.P. on my NWH last scene suit Spider-Man.

I don't imagine that I'm the first guy to attempt this specific design with a Minimate, but if I am, then boy would I be honored to have set a precedent. XD

This guy has actually been a lot harder to pull off than one might think. Trust me.

A year or so ago, someone posted a really good Genis-Vell kitbash in his 90s costume with the jacket and stuff mainly using parts from the X-Factor Havok.. if it is you, can you repost it so I can totally just steal your recipe?
