Matricians: Show Your Stuff! (lots of images)

[ASR]

Dude, that looks awesome. I want one of those. Several, actually. I could do some cool stuff, and I know you can, too, so I'm looking forward to the results.

[Mikero]

I'll probably go with Mini Mikero Munny.

Oh yeah, I got the white one. I don't have use for ones with weird colours right now and they don't make a black or glow-in-the-dark Mini.

Full-size would be fun but a LOT more work. And where would I put it? Same thing for the Mega Munny, which is like 200 bucks and 18" tall.

I kind of wanted to invent a Mikeromobile just to give me a reason to get the Mini Munny Mobile, which is a Mini Munny with a little car you can also paint. But I'll wait and if they ever make a Mini Motorbike for the Mini Munny I'll get that for the Mikero one.

[ASR]

Yeah, I think you should go for a Mini Mikero to get started.

Take the Ickle approach, haha.

[Mikero]

:-O

Munny Series 4 has shurken! But that's for fullsize.

I think I'm going to turn myself into a monster for these...

[ASR]

Yeah, I was looking on the website and saw the Shuriken. I was gonna' post about it but I figured you knew.

[Abominator]

That's cool, if I had any talent I'd make an Abe one.

Because I'm self centred.

[ASR]

I think I might do one of these. Don't know where to find them, though. I'll look into it.

[Abominator]

I once heard there was a thing called a Google that tells you where some things are.

...at.

...are at.

[ASR]

I meant locally. And I'll check when I have some spare cash and time.

[Mikero]

Comic stores and hobby shops should have them.
Craft stores... probably wouldn't. Craft stores tend to sell old lady ##### like styrofoam shapes and fake birds and lengths of felt.

Either way, the site sells them, and world wide. A Mini Munny is only ten bucks, and I think that's a good deal considering the variety of ways you can colour it and stuff. The big ones are more expensive but I'm not so sure that's the size I want to work with. Even crayons and pencils work. And supposedly ketchup works...

I've already had killer ideas for a zombie one. I know zombies are cliche now, but I can't apply my idea to something else. Or at least I haven't thought of another way to.

Because I'm self centred.

Clearly I am the same.

No, I know I'm not. But it's a character, yea? A character I know well. It's a good way to start off with this stuff.

[ASR]

I've already decided that my second one would be a Powered Up-style MegaMan. Looking at the model, it just works perfectly.

[Mikero]

The please make it better than this;




Also, there's another Kid Robot product called Dunny. Which is essentially the same thing, but has rabbit ears. All Munny have a little round dot/button type tail thing on the back, like a rabbit tale I guess.

Anyway, people make some of the SICKEST things with this stuff. I saw a Niko Bellic, Samus, Bomberman, Ultraman, and a Yoda Munny, which were incred. I saw a good Iron Man (movie style) Munny as well.

Check out this sick one though;



Pretty much just full-on paintings on a Munny. The person does Dunny stuff as well as other "designer toy" type things, but I care much less about all that. Also he or she rarely even does a face. So many possibilities.

[ASR]

So badass. Damn, I really like the idea of this thing. I could have so much fun with this.

I looked at the gallery on the website and some of those were incredible. The Subwoofer one near the bottom was awesome. Here:



I don't think I'd do something that intense. At least not at first. If I do one of these, I'll limit the first one to just drawing on it with markers probably. Probably multicolored sharpies.

[Mikero]

Yeah I saw that one. The hardest part on that one is making it all look furry. Which was probably done with spray painting it without priming it first, or something. Putting in the speaker portion isn't as hard, since you can cut a Munny if you heat it. Making the squareness around it would be difficult though.

[ASR]

I think they actually put that fuzzy material over the entire Munny. Look around the ears and you can really see the fuzz.

[Mikero]

Maybe on the head. I'm not sure about the body. Putting fuzzy stuff would mean sort of draping and using adhesive, which would make the Munny a lot thicker.

[ASR]

I just assumed they did drape it at first, and never really thought it could be paint. You might be right, though. Still looks badass.

[preventerWIND]

Ahh, I've seen that MegaMan one, never knew what it was made from though. Those things are pretty sick, I'd like to pick one up and make my own..


PIERCE THE HEAVENS WITH YO-...

[Mikero]

I looked half heartedly for a Tallgeese at work for you Wind. I didn't find one because I had customers up to my ears a second after I started looking and then forgot to go back to it, but I'll give it another look on friday.

[preventerWIND]

Wow, Mike, I really appreciate that.. But I doubt you'll actually find one because the day of Wing is long gone.. : ' (

But like I said before, if you have one, I'll go through hell and back to get it!

[Mikero]

If we have one, we can send it to the Toronto store, which is probably easier for you. Of course, if we have one they probably do, as they tend to keep stuff for that store half the time.

[preventerWIND]

I think the last time I checked the place was about a month ago, they didn't have anything. I remember they re-released the Wing figures with that Seed series, theres a better chance of having one of those than models.

[Johncarllos]

Wind, I love the GL's expression.

[ChaosVortex]

Foolin' around on Skype. This is from my camera phone.

[Ikeoko]

Foolin' around on Skype. This is from my camera phone.

OMG KITTEHHHHH

>.<

[ChaosVortex]

I thought I tried something like this before and it failed. I really don't know how to work my phone anyway.

[Ikeoko]

I really don't know how to work my phone anyway.

Yes, you would be totally lost without me, haha. xD

[preventerWIND]

Hey look, stuff.

[Johncarllos]

SHINING FINGER!

[Snare]

Heeey wait a second...!

This thread made me realize I don't have any cool things..!

[MOX]

No painting your Gundams?

[Someguy]

I has some toys too!


Some Okami card I got in the mail from Capcom as a thanks for supporting them all these years or something, it even came with some seeds to plant

[preventerWIND]

I'm stumped as to which X model I like better. Transparent or plated? D:

Also, FUNNY HOW I GAVE YOU THAT WING ZERO AND MOST OF EPYON. YOU OWE ME BITCH.

No painting your Gundams?

Tallgeese's shield and head are fully painted, and his torso is (badly)painted too. Both shining and Tallgeese are also Gundam Marker'd. Shining is pretty boss too, its a master grade so you really don't even have to paint it.

I plan to get a Gurren model soon..

*goes to the greed topic >.>*

[ASR]

Transparent-y X looks better than shiny X.

So much better.

[Mikero]

If I were going to collect such models (which I'm not, I assure you) I'd have to not only custom paint them but mix and match parts to make my own Gundam.

[Someguy]

FUNNY HOW I GAVE YOU THAT WING ZERO AND MOST OF EPYON. YOU OWE ME BITCH.

You gave me the upper half of Wing Zero Custom's body, and most of Epyon. Let's not forget Burning too : D

[ASR]

If I were going to collect such models (which I'm not, I assure you) I'd have to not only custom paint them but mix and match parts to make my own Gundam.

Whenever I see those models, I always think of how cool it would be if I made one giant conglomerate abomination using parts from all of them. So, I know the feeling.

But I wouldn't buy any of them anyway.

[preventerWIND]

Well, lets just say for a second you do, if so, Tallgeese would be the best thing to buy. He comes with tons of parts to transform it into Tallgeese 1-2-3. So you can make something like Tallgeese 13 or Tallgeese 32.

FUNNY HOW I GAVE YOU THAT WING ZERO AND MOST OF EPYON. YOU OWE ME BITCH.

You gave me the upper half of Wing Zero Custom's body, and most of Epyon. Let's not forget Burning too : D

Oh, I found some parts of Burning, his burning fingers and his vulcans.

[Mikero]

The Vulcans would find it very illogical for a man to have a finger on fire.

[preventerWIND]

The Vulcans should mind their own Vulcan business.

[Mikero]

I THINK YOU MEAN "LIVE LONG AND PROSPER".

[preventerWIND]

THIS HAND OF MINE IS BURNING RED ##### OFF!...

wait..



HOLY ##### LOOK AT WHAT THE BURNING FINGER IS DOING

This ##### just got real.

[ASR]

Please don't make me imagine a Gundam/Star Trek crossover.

[preventerWIND]

Do what you want, just don't do it around me.

Hahaha! My collection expands! I found the HG 1/144 Tallgeese 3 at a shop with Gundam models. It was only 10 bucks so I snagged it. Aaron was there and picked up a Wing Zero 1/100 model. Nice find too for only 20 bucks or so.

So I got to building it, and I love it even though it looks whiter than a Klan member. I might paint it soon when I think about which Tallgeese I'll have up. Tallgeese 1 or 3?

[Johncarllos]

PAINT HIM LIKE THE GURREN LAGANN!!!!!!!

[preventerWIND]

NO THX LIEK TALLGEESE IS FIEN

[ASR]

Pelvic THRUST!

[Fatso]

IMO Tallgeese 1 is way cooler, but it's up to you.

I don't go hunting for this kind of thing, but if I came across one I would probably pick it up.

EDIT: Maybe I should finish putting together that podracer I've had collecting dust for the last ten years...

[preventerWIND]

I was actually going to make Tallgeese 1, but when I was in the process of changing the parts, something snapped off and I couldn't make Tallgeese one anymore. Maybe, if I plan to get another, I'll get a 1/100 Tallgeese one.

Or an SD.. or the HCM pro figure.. or the Tempest Knight SD...

[Lunchebox]

PAINT HIM LIKE THE GURREN LAGANN!!!!!!!

John, that is a horrible suggestion.
