And other Sentry. And Deathstroke parts so that spare Hobgoblin cape can get used for something besides Hellcat's accessory. Your Hellcat is looking great! A Corsair belt will be an easy update for mine, but Nova may cost a bit to track down (and I can't unsee its perfection now). I used Secret Invasion Beast hands for the claws, which is a nice finishing touch. Edited March 18, 2023 by elhonez Quote

Surprised we didn’t get a Patsy at some point. Quote

While not as detailed as the Frankie Raye Nova torso, it is still a good plain yellow female torso. But, yes, Firestar has increased in price over the last few years on the secondary market. Quote

elhonez Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Thanks Padrino! I have plans for a more action-oriented version of Val, but this one (and Nick) were based on this appearance in NFAOS: You can't really see it in the pic, but she has the black choker. I am also going to experiment with a tiny white rubber band for her headband, just ordered a batch from Amazon. Edited June 12, 2023 by elhonez Quote

Freaqualizer Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 I’ve been wanting Kang variants for a while now, and was able to cobble together this, mostly, QC of Immortus. I think he’s pretty passable. 😊 https://imgur.com/a/oMNbfGv Quote

TheMinimateKing30 Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 Can anyone link me to reliable Minimate Decal bases? The only ones I've found on MM led to bogus links. Quote

Freaqualizer Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 I’ve really been wanting a White Wolf minimate, so, I found a way to cobble together a (not so) QC White Wolf. It’s: Animated White Tiger mask (I removed the pony tail using an exacto knife and filled in the missing mask pieces with putty. Blizzard torso. White Ranger movie arms, crotch, and legs. I really like how he turned out. https://imgur.com/a/BjuovzR Quote
Chigarillo Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Is there another figure besides Walgreens wave 7 Captain Marvel that uses the same hip accessory? Or any other ideas of a hip piece to use for a Petra custom? Quote

But the holster is a separate piece that attaches to the leg. So the belt part looks similar to this piece though not the same one. Hopefully it suits your purpose and you have one.

Freaqualizer Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 I have about 100 minimates sitting on my “workbench”, which is just my work desk, that I’ve been cobbling together for a few months now. These are all in various levels of completion, some further along than others. Some are just QCs. Other’s are QCs with modifications (parts trimmed with an x-acto knife). None have been painted yet, but, most of these will require some level of painting. https://imgur.com/a/h6SvNBv Starting at the top left, these are: Gorgon (will need paint on his arms and on his mask and torso). I may make changes to this formula, as I think I want to be able to swap hair pieces to show his eyes. Solo (will need paint on his hair) The Grandmaster (will need paint on his ears, eyes, and collar) Maximus the Mad (needs paint on a non-visible part of his legs) Baron Blood (needs paint in a lot of places, lol) Nocturne (needs paint on hair, ears, and torso) Commando (M-Nell) from the Imperial Guard (this is just a QC, no modifications) Fandral (this is just a QC, no modifications) Scourge of the Underworld (needs paint on the hat) Foolkiller II (needs paint on the vest) I think most of these parts are pretty recognizable; however, if you have any questions about anything let me know. 😊 I hope y’all enjoy!

cylonchaney Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Nice work. The guy on the top right made me think of the alien assassins sent to take out McLeod in Highlander 2. I hope everyone who reads this is lucky enough not to get the reference or have seen the movie. LOL Quote
