Yes, and they are coated for protection. But as with all waterslides, take caution when playing with them. :P -Omi

Reminiscent of LEGO's Collectible Minifigs, CustomMinifigs.com is a joint project between professional customizors Shmails and Armothe. Each fig is special and unique in that Shmails personally designs each one and Armothe arms them with BrickForge weapons and accessories. Wave 1 laid the foundation. Wave 2 brings in the warfar aspect. Presentation Each minifig is packaged in a medium-sized, ziploc baggie with a card insert. The front of the card insert features the CM.com logo and is designed to have the minifig displayed in the middle. The back of the card insert is a brief rundown of the advisory and also explains that each fig is made from LEGO with custom additions by Shmails and Armothe. So in other words: 100% high quality. And now onto the minifigs..... Minuteman Click thumb to enlarge Don't tread on me. The minuteman is ready to take down redcoats and bring freedom to his native colony. This particular figure is my favorite due to the fact that I am from Massachusetts and the minuteman is a symbol for the state. Perfect for Colonial aspects for Pirates. Someone has to stand opposite to the reds right? Features: - Custom torso decal (waterslide) - Reddish Brown Bandolier - Reddish Brown Musket - Tan Flintlock Pistol - Silver Hatchet (not pictured) - Tan Double Plume (not pictured) Price: $18.00 USD GoldTooth - Pirate Captain Click thumb to enlarge Avast! Shiver me timbers! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! And all that. Better watch out when sailing around, because this Seven Sea wonder will plunder your booty when you aren't looking. Perfect for Pirates theme and the upcoming PoTC sets. Features: - Custom Torso Decals (waterslide) - Dark Bluish-Gray Bandolier - Dark Bluish-Gray Cutlass - Black Flintlock Pitol - White Double Plume - Black Hatchet (not pictured) Price: $18.00 USD Riot Cop Click thumb to enlarge Good cop, bad cop? Doesn't matter for this guy. He is sent in to take down the scum of the urban society. Drug lords, crime lords, Sith lords, who cares. He'll be able to keep order in the city when Aliens execute their Conquest. ;) Features: - Custom Torso Decal - Custom Arm Decals - Black Military Helmet w/ screenprinted "Police" - Trans-Clear Military Shield w/ screenprinted "Police" - Black Nightstick - Black Gunbelt Price: $20.00 Drill Instructor Click thumb to enlarge Everything I wanna say about this fig can be found in the first 20 mins of Full Metal Jacket. :P Features: - Custom Torso Decals - Custom Arms Decals - Dark Tan Ranger Hat - Dark Tan Backpack - Bronze Canteen - Bronze Shovel Price: $20.00 USD 'Doc' - WWII Medic Click thumb to enlarge The real celeb here. Other than your commanding officer, this guy is a prime target for snipers. Risking his life on the battlefield just to give you a band-aid, he is the true hero. Features: - Custom Torso Decals - Custom Arm Decals - Olive Soldier Helmet w/ screenprinted red cross - Olive Backpack w/screenprinted "US" - Olive Canteen - Olive Shovel Price: $20.00 CM.com Exclusive Color - Olive Drab Only available with the Medic, this was a highly requested color for Brickforge to make. There is no official Lego color for a color match, so it is unique. :) Overall These figs are one of a kind, and definately not something to pass up on. They each can make great additions to your collection display on your shelf at home or on the desk at the office. While they utilize waterslide decals, they can still be used for MOCs and vignettes as long as you don't throw them around, as they are meant for display and not rough play. I do like all the figs, but my personal favorites are Minuteman, Pirate, and the Medic. One thing I would like to touch base with and that is the price. Yes they are not cheap. Anything that is handmade and personally designed usually comes at a price, and that is what most people do not realize when it comes to anything these days. However let me tell you this, it is worth it in the end and keep in mind that LEGO itself isn't cheap either. More awesome figs will be made in the future, so keep an eye out for them! So why are you still reading this? Go to CustomMinifigs.com! "Life is short.....customize it!" -Omi

And with that: :P -Omi

He did say something like that. shmails said something similar as well: -Omi

Armothe says it is, so it is. Plus the fact that the newer mold of the helmet does not resemble the one in the prelim, and there have been several comparisons. They aren't. I am only saying that Lego picks other brains too for their products. Plus they make what Lego does not make. They are the ones listening to fans. The centaur body that BF released last year? that was fan made and Lego isn't getting around to it, and probably won't ever. But not Lego versions. Which is the whole point of this. It isn't the real life design itself. It is the element. Lego makes a brick design, which they apparently borrowed from another guy. People seem ok with that. MB borrows the brick design and does their version of it. People scream bloody murder over it. A custom vendor makes their own design on an element, which Lego makes their own later on. People seem ok with it. You see the pattern here? Why is it ok for Lego to make their own designs of similar products, but not ok when a competing company does it? I would not like Mega Bloks getting blamed for stealing ideas. :) -Omi

Because it all depends on what he is customizing. You can find things on toywiz that aren't available anywhere else. -Omi

I love how people don't read posts fully -Omi

Other than Bricklink, there is FireStarToys and ToyWiz. But if you wanna save your money, you will have to make do with Bricklink. -Omi

I normally make my customs on the floor but when I move out and get my own place I plan on having a nice work station -Omi

The silent hero from the Legend of Zelda series, particularly Ocarina of Time. *Torso is brassoed by me *Hat is modified and fitted onto hair by me *Sword is BF and modified by me *Bracers are BF *Shield decal found somewhere amidst Brickshelf Enjoy. -Omi

They have. Numerously. As Family Guy always put it: "I always asked Lois to buy me LEGO, but she gets me Mega Bloks" "They're the same thing Peter." "You know Lois, they are not the same." -Omi

Just wanna correct you on this. BF makes products to compliment both LEGO and MB as well as other similar brands. If you take a look at their site, you would see products modeled with Stikfas and Minimates. Mainly LEGO, yes, but intended for everything else. :) I totally agree. I just don't like all these one-sided ordeals. -Omi

Then it should be moot point that LEGO produced similar items at an earlier date that MB now makes. Right? -Omi

Firestartoys and Toywiz (I believe) resells them. I thought pornographic LEGO was not allowed here! :O :P -Omi

I think your exaggerating the issue a bit. Mega Brands can always take what LEGO does not (Halo anybody?). You also seem to forget that they are a legit business and not crooks. If it is up for grabs, it is up for grabs. Coca-Cola and Pepsi do this. Sony and Microsoft do this. -Omi

That's not even Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's outfits. Why do people keep assuming that they ditched Batman for Spongebob? Where was this even implied? It is two different licenses altogether. And Batman ended ages ago. -Omi

Wow you guys really don't follow all this? :/ Link Plus I can list off all the new items that LEGO recently came out with that was already made by BF and BA prior. -Omi

True, but a line is crossed when you use a customizor's own item in place of yours when displaying prototypes at shows. -Omi

You're looking at it in the photo. ;) Matches the Gunmetal/Pearl Dark Gray from Kingdoms, and also the gunmetal from the past that was used in Bionicle. -Omi

MB stealing from Lego? oh noes!! :O Did you know that Lego steals ideas from customizors? Yeah that's what I thought. No one is original in this world, not even Lego. -Omi

I suppose you're right. No one else would know more than you. :) I hope to see a cogo review from you soon. :P -Omi

They look like a mashup between the K'nex figs and Best Lock figs. -Omi

I dunno if it's the photo or me, but Daredevil's horns look crooked. :/ Other than that, I do like Abomination. :) -Omi

Tron as he appears in Tron: Legacy and Tron: Evolution. Simple edit of my Rinzler minifig. (Spoiler: they are the same guy. :P) Identity Disc is my own design. -Omi

Some call it Pearl Dark Gray and others call it GunMetal - we call it Steel! Falcata Knight Shield Round Pauldrons Vambraces Wizard Staff Military Helmet Military Rifle Plans to expand our selection in this color are underway. -Omi
