Michael Jackson Thriller Minimates

I was five or six when I saw the music video to Michael Jackson's Thriller for the first time. I watched it with my mom and I was scared, really, really scared. I guess I left the room before that famous ghoul dance even started. Anyway: look at those Michael Jackson Thriller Minimates! Customizer mwattsart recreated this scene from the video and I especially like how he got all those Minimates do that dance. That's a great posing, isn't it? You can view more pics of Jackson and the whole gang right after the jump. Happy Halloween!

Zombie Magnum Minimate

Halloween is just around the corner and look what I found: a zombified Magnum, P.I. Minimate! And it is gorious! Customizer Antacost brings us this zombie Magnum Minimate and he did an incredible job! You have to enjoy all those details. He is not only coming with his famous thick mustache, the Detroit Tigers baseball hat, and one of his colorful Aloha shirts. No, he also comes with the head oh Higgins! Very nicely done! You can see more pics of him right after the jump.

Blacklash Minimate

Meet Mark Scarlotti, brilliant engineer, weapons designer, husband, father and currently deceased C-list supervillain called Blacklash. You might know him better under his other secret identity Whiplash, wearing this fancy haloesque outfit. But he's currently dead anyway, though. Customizer Fwoosheyman remembered him and did a great custom Blacklash Minimate. Once again we see that those colorful and obscure outfits work perfectly well as Minimates. The reused parts look great on him and I especially like his green ponytail. You can read all about the recipe right after the jump.

Isaiah Bradley - The Black Captain America Minimate

I already mentioned Isaiah Bradley being Patriot's grandfather and now we have a Isaiah Bradley - The Black Captain America Minimate. Being one of those African American guinea pigs in Dr. Reinstein's Super Soldier project, Isaiah Bradley would later become the Black Captain America. His story is collected in Truth - Red, White & Black. This custom Minimate by Bob Harris is rather simple, but features everything Bradley needs - including his shield on which he drew the Double V for Victory sign. You can view more pics after the jump.

Steve Rogers Minimate

Steve Rogers had a bunch of different outfits besides his iconic look as Captain America - including one that resembled a Transformer. A lot of those looks were already produced as official Minimates. One of his latest looks is the one as Commander Steve Rogers the Super Soldier and guess what? JBoogie did an incredible job on this Steve Rogers Minimate! This guy really stands out and I especially love how well his new shield looks. Great job! Now we can all hope AA/DST is having this in mind when - not if - they come up with their version of him. You can read all about the recipe and see a lot more pics of him after the jump.

Machine Man Minmate

X-51 - what a nice and euphonious name - was built as an US Army killing machine, but after gaining sentience became the "robot with a soul". Later on he became kind of a superhero going by the name Machine Man and being member of, well, Nextwave (for God's sake!). Customizer Rheul did what I believe is the first Machine Man Minmate and he did well! Besides the spot on decals used, he even added some Go-Go-Gadget body extensions. (Now am I the only one wanting to see an Inspector 'mate?) Go have a closer look, view another pic and read all about the recipe after the jump.

Tigra Minimate

Greer Grant Nelson has been a Westcoast Avenger, a cop, a spy, got shrunk and even lived in Oz for a while and is currently a mom (right?). All that's Tigra, the furry gal with the long red hair and the leather bikini. We haven't seen a Tigra Minimate yet, although we got a pretty nice Cheetah 'mate. Customizer Psyguy couldn't stand it anymore, so he came up with a great Tigra Minimate. And she looks great, doesn't she? Really nice paint job and nice sculpting on her belt, too! Have a closer look and read about the recipe after the jump.

Ulik the Troll Minimate

Let's talk about Rock Trolls! Ol' Ulik here probably is the greatest, most fearsome and deadliest of all. That makes him a top contender to beat his greatest enemy: Thor. With his beard, the mighty breastplate and all those details he makes a great and colorful minimate. Customizer Luke did a great job on this Ulik the Troll Minimate and I especially like his grimm facial expression. Luke being the master of decal designs did a great job once more. You can see a close up pic of Ulik right after the jump.

Flash Thompson Venom Minimate

Earlier this year war veteran Flash Thompson became the Venom symbiote's new host as a government black ops agent. And although it's debatable whether that's a clever move by Marvel, this new Venom alreday got a big fanbase. So why not have a custom Flash Thompson Venom Minimate, right? Bob Harris (aka me) took the chance to be one of the first people customizing this guy with all the details needed. I wonder how long it will take until DST/AA offers us an official one. You can see a lot more pics right after the jump.

Abomination Minimate

KGB spy Emil Blonsky deliberately exposed himself to an even greater quantity of the same gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner in our beloved Hulk and became the Abomination. Customizer Mini Myte created this great Abomination Minimate which is bulked up a lot more than the original released one. (Thanks to the new Hulk parts I'm pretty sure we'll see an updated Abomination Minimate looking quite like this fellow here, pretty soon.) But that's not all, he's also starring in episode 15 of "Tales from the Minibar". (15 if you count the three Summer Blockbuster parts as one.) You can see a few more pics right after the jump.
