Action figures have long been a perfect compliment to comic books, since every kid (or kid at heart) has that natural desire to act out adventures with their favorite heroes off the drawn page. <\/span>Every so often, a unique style of figure comes along that breaks the mold, so to speak. Each Saturday, Donny B<\/a> will be showcasing various offerings from Art Asylum’s take on the ‘block figure’, with a weekly spotlight on Minimates<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Art Asylum’s licensing deals gave them the opportunity to make Minimates from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica tv show. The big problem with this license is that most of the releases were humans in rather bland clothing. Sales were decent, but not as well as they could have been had the majority of the character designs been flashy and more appealing to buyers unfamiliar with the show.<\/p>\n

However, the one market-friendly thing that this license had to offer was the villainous robotic Cylon design. It just screams “cool looking thing that needs to be part of my\u00a0collection”, and Art Asylum didn’t fail in their task of adapting the Cylon look into Minimate form. It is easily one of their more impressive releases.<\/p>\n

This one was amazingly simple. I just placed the Cylon in front of a lamp,\u00a0and set another light in front of the Minimate to add illumination and prevent a silhouette. The red glow was done through Photoshop.<\/div>\n
