Thanks for the kind words, guys!! I definitely want to make more characters at some point. A lot of times I have an idea for a custom, but have to put it on the back burner till the right pieces come along. I'd like to make a goon in the same scale for sure, but you never know, I could make an Egobossler too if I find the right base figure/figures. :wink1: What's nice with Minimates is that they pop apart very easily (including their hair, masks, etc.) and are interchangeable, so they're awesome for mixing and matching. They're also cheap and easy to find on evilbay. :evil1:

Well seeing as how Kinetic Toyz never got around to releasing their Battle of the Planets "Nanomen" figures, I finally decided to make my own Berg Katse/Zoltar Minimate!

The chain for the cape came from a Dr Doom Minimate. And then the cowl, gauntlets, cape, and boots came from a Bat Man Minimate. After a few alterations, I painted the whole thing up today. It's not completely cartoon accurate (the boots are a bit short and the cape isn't quite the right shape), but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. The finished figure is about 2.5 inches tall ears to feet. Oh and yes, that is the feared Galactor Mecha Microwave in the background of the second picture! BEWARE SCIENCE NINJA TEAM!!! :microwave:

Cool V-day pics, TJ! And they make me want to bust out my Eagle Riders video-tapes. I wish ADV would reconsider and nab the rights to dub Gatchaman II and F!!

Besides Gatchaman, my favorite anime shows include Robotech, Project A-ko, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Guyver, Lupin III and Dirty Pair. Ayep... definitely oldschool here. :breakdance: I've been obsessed with a newer anime show called Shin-Chan recently too though. A total riot!! Oh, and the single greatest cereal ever created is Cocoa Crispies, followed closely by... [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/raggletag01/MRt_cereal.jpg[/IMG]

I think Joe had the best characterization in the OAVs. He may have been a bit TOO brooding for my taste, but it was still a good fit for the OAV. Let's be honest though, the OAV series was prettymuch all about the eye candy and not so much deep character development. It was a neat little update, but no match for the original series imo. And Nambu's new sideburns could put an eye out! :poke:
