RevHooligan Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Is anyone else jonesin' for new superhero miniatures? I repainted a beeyotch-load of Hero Clix, but their freakishly large combatdial thingies take up a hex and a half. As a side note: I offer the prize of twenty Slim Jims and a can of Mountain Dew to the person who can make a cool figure out of T.O. Morrow. What a craphound that loser is.

Nuadha Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 You can use a hobby knife to take the Heroclix minis off of their bases and zap-a-gap (or any other type of superglue) to glue them on regular sized bases available at any hobby shop. There are also a few companies who offer pewter superhero minis on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevHooligan Posted April 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 Obviously, you aren't aware of my motor skills. My girlfriend hid all the sharp objects in the house to save on Band-Aids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 So simple even I can do it. Of course the completed heroclix are not nearly as cool as the modified ones I've seen all over the web. You know, I actually tried to modify T. O. Morrow! I snipped the beaker form his hand, used an xacto to remove part of his hair, added a bunch of "green stuff" to his head to give him long hair instead, and painted him up more like some cyberpunk gangleader type. Looks like crap, but yards better than the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevHooligan Posted April 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 My attempt at modifying T.O Morrow resulted in what looked like an Elvis loving dockworker in a Matrix coat. But I believe the first step of any figure will be to snip off that crappy beaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmenace Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 I turned mine into Dr, Clayton Forrester from Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I'm not familiar with the Morrow character, what's with those galoshes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevHooligan Posted April 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 No one is famillar with the Morrow character. Even Mr. and Mrs Morrow wouldn't buy comics with T.O. in them. I still can't understand why such a craptacular villian gets a Clix and Deathstroke the Terminator doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 TO MORROW is a small time Scientific genius, most remarkable for inventing the Red tornado. As for why such a crap villain was placed in instead of a "cool" one is simple, they want to keep a few cool guys for expansions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Scrivner Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 I usually go the cardboard heroes route and photocopy appropriate illustrations at greatly reduced size. I've got some old figures from a SpaceGamer issue to use as templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevHooligan Posted April 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Thanks for the links. Of course, now I'll spend the rent on "little metal guys" and my girlfriend will beat me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McCarthy Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 TO Morrow conversion http://clix.themakis.net/question.jpg A simple conversion of TO Morrow. Not the coolest, but workable. He's T.O. Morrow body with a Blizzard head and thug's feet. Plus some sculpting for the cuffs, hat and hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevHooligan Posted April 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 So far Tom's Question is the leader. I hope you like Slim Jims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
