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! I used a Star Girl Minimate for the main body, including her face which had the perfect Katse smirk. 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!!!

Tony, I am awestruck! You are so talented at making these figures! And you're right...that smirk is perfect!!!

oh my that is absolutely astounding

LOL, Tony it looks just like a custom made Katse figurine!

Careful Tony Amy will want an Ego one

That is excellent work...love the creativity!

I was thinking to ask for one, but thought better! And since you love him soooo much, I guess I'll have to make my own Ego figurine.

Oh, Tony, that's incredible! He looks ready to play with your goon figures! Awesome job!

Than is sooo cute Raggy, will you be making him a goon to. Just so he has someone to blame when the microwave mecha is destroyed by SNT/G-Force.

He has done a goon already...isn't this great? I am in awe...

Wow I am so impressed! That really took some ingenuity.

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. 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.
