Who doesn't love a good mutant?

 

  

 

  

 

First up, we've got General Squirrilimar, Wandering Eye, Big Fleakid and Stick-em-Up/The Roof Leaper, all as figurines (2" and 1" sized) for toy collectors and gaming minis (with and without bases) for gamers running Gamma World, TMNTaoS, After the Bomb, etc. 

 

The latter three are all from the '89 TMNT NES game, and are available in a four-pack here. 

 

Next up is Ch'dar-O, Lord of the ThunderRats

 

 

 

He is the prince of scavengers, master of the Rat’s Burrow, wielder of the Sword of NIMH and the Claw of W’lard! He is available as a 35mm tall “Heroic scale” miniature, both with and without base, and as a free-standing 1.75″ tall M.U.S.C.L.E.-sized figurine!

 

  

 

Moving slightly further afield than that, we have Specknose from the NES Kid Icarus:

 

 

And Lastly, Eggpos from Two More Eggs:

 

 

Old Timer, Jimly and New Guy from the Brothers' Chaps' weird Disney shorts. Also available in a 3-pack.

That's awesome Do you make these? 3-d print? Anyway, my favorites are Wandering Eye and Stick em up/Roof Leaper.

Thanks! Most of these were part of my 3d printing patreon, where patrons get files they print on their home printers. After 30 days I put them up on Shapeways for the general populace, as I have with these.

A few newbies: 

 

 

He's available here.

 

 

Pillthug comes in several poses, all of which linked through the multipack.

Some new stuff is up in the store:

 

 

  

 

We start out with A Titans Return Cybertron Megatron, available as both a single faceplate and as a faceplate and helmet combo for larger figures.

 

In more-applicable-to-this-forum news, there's some new stuff from the patreon, all available in multiple sizes:

 

  

 

Stump Chump, Kliffbeest Colt, Tonguestand Brainlick and Rollin' Around Brainlick are all up. All the Patreon figures available through Shapeways are available here.

 

And speaking of the patreon:

 

   

 

I'm proud of how last month's main big figure, Radioactive Roach, turned out. RR  is a TMNT sized action figure inspired by TMNT, Fallout and Battle Beasts (the original Radioactive roach, which was more Battle Beast-y, is here.) He can be printed on any 3d printer that can use both flexible and rigid filament, and is a $10 and up release for Prize Inside!. 

 

Thoughts?

Nice job on these...Very cool

[TrentTroop]

I'm not leaving the TMNT fans out in the cold just because Power of the Primes is a hot new thing:

 

 

 

Roadkill Rodney, the robot that stole the warthog and rhino for Bebop & Rocksteady's mutation and were roving pests in the TMNT arcade games are available as figurines, gaming miniatures, and a 2" action figure kit with a working wheel, cloud-of-smoke base, removable tentacle arms (with 5mm pegs/ports) and a swappable chestplate/blaster piece.

QUICK CORRECTION: The Shapeways free shipping sale is for Cyber Monday, not Black Friday Weekend.

Getting warmed back up with some commissions. Which brings us to... more Diaclone Drivers! (Hey, they're still mini-figs!)

 

I currently have eight torsos and four limb sets available to print actual metal-torso Diaclone Drivers. Here's some prints of my first designs: 

 

  

  

(To clarify, the above Waruder Kuwagatrer pilot is an original. My modified design differs in a few details to keep it from being mistaken for the real deal)

 

New Designs:

 

Waruder Kuwagatrer pilot 

 

 

Micronaut Pharoid (With and Without Helmet)

 

 

 

Warantros, a new Waruder-Style Ant Soldier

 

 

Diadroid, robot trooper

 

 

Annubros, Dog-Headed Warrior

 

 

All of the Diaclone Drivers are available here.

Did you do the chroming on those? If so, how much would you charge to chrome a M.U.S.C.L.E. ot two?

Those aren't chromed by me. The shiny ones are rhodium plated and polished brass 3d prints through Shapeways. They come straight from the service that way.

[RedMoaiMan]

OK...Thanks...

Was it really $45 to get those plated bodies? whew

Got a new thing in the store, a Real Ghostbusters-inspired little critter named Splat-O-Lantern:

 

 

As to the Shapeways changes, here's what's going down:

 

Everything currently up in my store is grandfathered into the old price structure until January 1st. Shapeways is changing how they price things to have minimum costs to reflect the handling processes that are required regardless of item size. For small items, this is going to mean a price increase, one I don't get any cut of.

 

To compensate, future products are going to be designed to hit that minimum cost based on file-contents wherever possible. If the price has to go up I can at least ensure that the customer gets as much bang for their buck as possible. Multi-packs and sprued sets are going to be the go-to way to accomplish this.

 

If an item works in an obvious set, then I'll simply pack together associated items in one kit, as with the insecticon weapons three-pack. If there's not an obvious companion piece, I may simply duplicate a given weapon in the set, so you as the customer get a bonus item.

 

I will most likely keep offering individual items as options for materials where sprues are not allowed, such as in the case of metal prints, using the Shapeways size-variant feature.

 

Also, commissions are open. Basic weapons and faceplates tend to be $40 for a personal-use sculpt commission, more for complicated items or if you want to purchase exclusive use or redistribution rights.
