I’m behind on my #marchofminimates posts over here, so forgive me for doing days 4 and 5 together.
The themes (dead or alive, and Game over) were pretty broad so I went with Nick Fury arresting the head of Hydra and Mayor Mike Haggar cleaning up the streets.
And that’s it for week one. #minimates
Just Checking if Casey Jones 1987 got More New Merch that I Miss like the Minimates Toy

Minimates action figures: Mechagodzilla squares off against Godzilla in an AEW All Elite Wrestling branded wrestling ring. Godzilla is holding a chair.
Minimates action figures: Three chrome Battlestar Galactica Cylon Centurions face off against three TMNT cartoon Foot Clan Soldiers in an AEW wrestling ring. All six competitors are ready for battle. One of the Foot Soldiers has one foot up (their Foot foot tbh) ready for a crane kick. I specifically mention this one because it's a cool pose and no stand to be seen, yo. And these are definitely the robot Foot Soldiers so I was able to make the clankers fighting clankers joke for those weird pro-AI people who think that's a derogatory term. Quit searching for nonsense to get mad and then blocked about, you dummies. No AI here, just me and my weirdo stuff. 😃
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Dr. Teeth, who is a colorful Muppet wearing 70s styled clothing, stands across from Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, who is a wrestler wearing black wrestling gear.
Minimates action figures: Optimus Prime and Megatron face off in an AEW wrestling ring. They're large robots.
I also made a bunch of peeps fight that may or may not have had a reason to fight before I apprehended them 😂

Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Darby Allin is on a ladder. He has pulled the Sting mask off of "Sting" to reveal Rodan's head (and inexplicably his claws and hand wings).
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Rodan stands holding a kendo stick. He is a large reddish orange pterodactyl. Across from him is AEW wrestler Darby Allin, wearing black jeans and holding a baseball bat.
Minimates action figures: Darby Allin scales the top turnbuckle holding a baseball bat, preparing to leap at Rodan, who is holding a kendo stick.
Minimates action figures: Darby Allin does a coffin drop onto Rodan while Jet Jaguar looks on.
Let's see, what else happened last year?
Oh yeah, Darby unmasked Sting to reveal Rodan and then they fought!

Behind the scenes of the original photo: Minimates action figures posed with a plastic ladder and plastic fencing on a black faux stone surface. The scene is lit by a yellow ring light and two white LED panel lights. The two real heroes are tucked into a hole on the bottom of each figure's foot and are making sure that they stay put. The floor is a piece of countertop and the cage/fencing is from a kit intended for model car display.
BTS!
I guess the only surprising thing about this one might be that Minimates are generally only about 2" tall. 🤷♂️

Minimates action figures: Arcangel stands poised on top of a ladder holding a steel chair. He is pointing down at Apocalypse, seen from behind. They are surrounded by a steel cage topped with barbed wire. Various weapons litter the cage floor. Apocalypse isn't holding anything because nothing squeezes into his tight grubby little gauntlets.
What? It's #XFactorFriday and I've already been reposting last year's favorites anyway? 😂

Behind the scenes shot of Minimates action figures: A blonde woman is turned around at the waist and her legs are bent backwards. She is on a clear stand. Another blonde woman is holding a wrestling championship belt. She is also on a clear stand that is on a small copy of Mad Libs. (Listen, I needed extra height for Toni because it's almost like Mariah is kneeling in front of her.) They are in front of a white background and on a brown wooden floor. Mariah is barefoot because she's Mia Wallace's body for the outfit and I think Gwen Stacy's hair. Toni is Adrian Balboa's body with Mina Harker's head. I finally colored in her eyes with a Gundam marker.
Action figures: Toni Storm and Mariah May, posed in front of a white cardboard background and standing on a wooden board. Toni is on an elevated base and both figures are on figure stands because I'm not a masochist. The scene is lit from overhead by a ring light and from the front by two panels on tripods.
BTS!
I suppose that these are really only interesting for lighting and blocking. (And how Minimates can contort themselves, I guess, haha)
Looking back, I maybe could have used one of the color Tonis with this same robe, but I think the B&W looked ok.

Minimates action figures: AEW wrestler Timeless Toni Storm stands holding a championship belt. She is wearing a black and white blazer/shirt combo. She is looking at Mariah May, dressed in white, viewed from behind.
Action figures: AEW wrestler Timeless Toni Storm stands wearing a black robe, holding the AEW Women's World Championship belt. She is looking at Mariah May, viewed from behind.
I also really liked how these turned out. That feud was so good.
I did the Minimates one first and then the Jazwares one after the Mariah figure came out a couple months ago.
I think it was the first time that I tried mirroring a shot.

Action figures: A Tyrannosaurus Rex is eating a Minimate from a wrestling ring that has a table and ladder next to it. The Rex is standing on a Switch game and a Game and Watch. Around her feet are various other Minimates that were eventually going to be part of this silliness. That Black Queen was stupid expensive, haha.
BTS on the Jurassic Park one because it's really friggin funny to me 😂

Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Mariah May is in a yellow powerloader exoskeleton and she is holding a championship belt with one hand. Her other hand is outstretched with the powerloader's arm, which is grasping a battle-damaged Xenomorph with Timeless Toni Storm's head. The Xenomorph is watching and reaching her hand towards Mariah. (I mean, I stopped putting Toni's head on Miss Piggy, yeah?) ---- This is one of my favorites of the set. I really like how it turned out. The way that they're both posed is what I was going for. I had been putting that Toni head on Miss Piggy's body because it has a nice full ballgown and actually looked pretty good. (Something something Xenomorph subtext something what)
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, a Terminator with Toni Storm's head is trapped under a pile of furniture. It is reaching towards Mariah May, who is sprawled in the corner with a championship belt. ---- I dunno, chat. I like the end of The Terminator? I used to have to run a cardboard baler for work. Every single time that I hit the button, "You're terminated, fucker."
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Timeless Toni Storm stands in the far right corner, facing into the corner. ---- This is a goof on the original Blair Witch Project. To this day, I still reference the whole 'standing in the corner' bit from it. It's so bleak, I love it.
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring that has various furniture strewn about, Timeless Toni Storm is being eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex that is reaching in from just out of frame. To the right of them, Mariah May looks on, victorious, holding the championship belt. ---- This is tied with the Aliens picture for my favorite of these. Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies and this idea really made me laugh. The BTS was just as funny because it was the usual ring setup with the Rex just arching in from the side.
This is still my favorite set of toy pics that I did this year.
I did all of these leading up to The Hollywood Ending at Revolution 2025. I had the idea to put Mariah & Toni into various movie endings and I really like how these turned out.

Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Blob squares off against the Foot Soldiers. Blob is noticeably heavier than the last time and he is wearing a spacesuit helmet. Behind him is the chestpiece of an empty spacesuit. The Foot Clan is in all sorts of disarray: one is just a set of legs, one is missing an arm and a foot (he's even less capable of the crane kick than Daniel-san tbh), but the last one is perfect and wearing Shredder's cape and armor.
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, three Borg square off against a hot nerdy guy. One of the Borg is partially Multiple Man (because that's who they faced in the last round, ya dig?) and the hot nerdy guy is pointing at them while holding a steel chair.
Hey speaking of the trios belts are we getting the semifinals for the number one contenders tournament tonight? 😂

Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, Blob squares off against three people wearing spacesuits and wielding a kendo stick and steel chairs. (It's No DQ because really it doesn't matter)
Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, a hot nerdy guy wearing a white lab coat stands with two Mechagodzillas. They are facing off against a trio of Godzillas who are all very angy and breathing fire and atomic breath, it's crazy really. How big is that ring? How big is that nerd? Why do I have so many Godzilla Minimates? (I actually have a bunch of extras of the Godzillas because I got a reeeeeally good auction and those are hard to pass up.)
I went ahead and booked a trios division, because, y'know, no one else will. 😂

Tomorrow night on Dynamite!

Action figures: Minimates Orange Cassidy and Jazwares Orange Cassidy, both wearing light blue denim jeans and jacket and white logo t-shirts, stand opposite each other while giving their trademark thumbs ups. Behind them is a retrowave background of a purple grid leading back into a yellow-orange horizon and sky. The photo is filtered to look like it's 1980s vintage.
Whatever.

Minimates action figures: In an AEW wrestling ring, a Terminator with Toni Storm's head is trapped under a pile of furniture. It is reaching towards a blonde woman dressed in white who is sprawled in the corner of the ring.
I can't believe they swiped my 'Cast Toni Storm as The Terminator' idea for the upcoming reboot. 😂

Screenshot from an AEW wrestling promo prior to the Revolution PPV: Mariah May sits looking at Toni Storm, who is wearing a dark blazer and holding a championship belt.
I think I did alright. 😃
Toni's head is Mina Harker (iirc) on Adrian Balboa's body with the belt from Nyla.
Mariah is Gwen Stacy's hair (I think) on Mia Wallace's body.
A glob of plastic tac is the real hero (as it often is)- holding up that belt. 😂
