Well, my Universal Monsters set is complete!

Monster Legends




Next year, I think I will expand on the Universal Monsters set with Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and so on.

About a year or two ago I saw someone who'd created most the Signature Heroes, I checked the forum they were posted on, unfortunately I could not find them or the user.

I do know that Demon Flare made a Statesman last year,



I don't know if it will help, but I made most of my characters into micros. Also created a few marvel micros with various others mixed in.

My micro gallery

The Archetype icons look great, Bubbawheat! Nicely done.

Well I made it back to Michael's today and saw that the foam pumpkins were now 60% off, so I picked up 2 more large ones for $7.99 each and two more medium sized ones for $4.99. Pretty hard to pass them up at that price. They still had tons. I might go back on the 1st to see if they've dropped any further.. What can I say, I'm addicted! :P

So, I managed to track down scans of a Universal Monsters stencil book that Pumpkin Masters put out in 2003. So now I have a cooler looking Mummy than Zombie Pumpkins has and..

wait for it..

Now, don't get me wrong, CR, your design is so much cooler! It's just that after I thought about it, I felt like a jerk for nitpicking and asking you to make changes to something you did out of kindness. Plus, I really wanted to get my monsters set completed so I could show them off this weekend

I've got a few more coming up, stay tuned!

Finally got the tip, ran through it twice. The first time I clicked through the glowies to get additional time. Got to the subway tunnel and my framerate took a major dive, this continued into the next room. Ran through to the portal and after exiting to the next part of the map my framerate stabilized.

I noticed that the ambushes are hard coded for the original 5 minute timer. Regardless of how much time you might have built up. Libri Vermis looks awesome by the way! Upon defeating him, I did not receive a badge.

Exiting the mission showed a 'return to contact' option under the tip, clicking on it caused the tip to disappear but I was able to accept the mission again. Ran through it a second time clicking the glowies, same framerate dive on the tunnel and middle room. This time I did not 'trigger' the ambushes. I went straight for Libri Vermis upon defeating him I did not receive any badge.

This was all done on a Scrapper who's nearly made a full circle; Hero -> Vigilante -> Villain -> and is currently Rogue. Mission(s) completed in Peregrine Island.

The only place I've found them at is Michael's, I'm not sure if these particular foam pumpkins are exclusive to Michael's or not. I've read of a similar product called fun-kins which are sometimes found at Michael's but mostly Joann Fabrics. I've never worked with them though. So I couldn't offer any feedback on them. The 10" fun-kins there are about the same size as medium size pumpkins from Michael's that I carved Batman and Cinderella on.

Absolutely!

I think it would look fantastic carved onto one of my pumpkins.

Thicker lines and maybe a little less detail around the eyes and nose (if possible). Also the foam holds up pretty well when it's cut moderately thin, but the patch of fur on his forehead over his right eye really should connect all the way across, otherwise it might collapse.

Sorry to be nitpicky, I just want to insure that your great design transfers fine without issues.

OMG! That's outstanding! The facial detail is incredible, so much so.. that it gives me nightmares thinking about the structural integrity for the pattern when attempting to remove the debris.. some of those lines are awfully thin (the teeth dangerously so).. and part of the ear is detached completely from the rest of the stencil itself.. but dang, that's awesome!

I have one foam-kin left for The Wolfman..

He would make a great addition to my universal monsters set. Finished Frankenstein's Monster earlier after watching Sons of Anarchy.

Boris Karloff as The Monster



I continue to play around with the lighting in my room to get a more appropriate display when lit.

My newest addition to the Universal Monsters set,

Bela Lugosi as Dracula



also, I went back and took more well lit pictures of the pumpkins. Here's Dracula lit.

That's awesome!

I can't wait to see how it turns out.

After carving the Gillman I think anything is possible at this point.. I might have to give this a try (with your permission of course) if Michael's has any pumpkins left.

The foam pumpkins I've been carving were purchased from Michael's Arts & Crafts, currently they are running a 50% off sale on them, and I've heard come November 1st, they might just be 75% off!

The tool I use to carve is called the Versa-tool with exacto-blade bit. It cuts through the foam like butter. Even though I purchased it through my local Michael's store, ironically I could not find it on their website.

I wouldn't feel right profiting off the carved pumpkins even if all I charged for was the labor. If the stencils were my own designs, maybe, but as it stands it would feel too much like stealing. Sorry VexXxa.

Hey folks,

Last year I got into a new hobby of carving pumpkins for Halloween. Well, this year I've decided to continue the tradition with Foam Pumpkins. Practically the same, except there's no rotting so I can keep the great designs year after year.

I've carved 3 so far. Staypuft Marshmellow Man for my mom,



and for my niece and nephew, Cinderella and Batman,



Here they are lit with artificial candle lights.

Plenty more to come, stay tuned!

Well worth the wait!

That was fantastic

...and now for something a little different!

Positive Feedback!



These emotes are fantastic, I've been waiting 5 years for /e airguitar to be added. Thank you! Oh, and /e popdance is worth $8 by itself.

All I gotta say is, the pack is targeted at a specific group of people.. not everyone will buy it, and I'm ok with that. If you don't want it, don't buy it.. and leave it at that.

Take care Yeti. Good luck and see you in December (or November if you make an appearance during Thanksgiving.).

Oh no.. it's no game breaking..

It's like we have to figure out a way to solo Hami or something..

<-- Reported it on day two of release.

If you are still taking submissions, I'd like to throw Echobat into the pool of characters.

To the OP, It's a shame that your 'friend' betrayed you as they did.. However, I would not pay real money to move to a 'non-pvp server' just to get a couple of badges. As someone reminded me in Liberty Badgers the other day, the DEVs usually spawn the AVs in non-pvp zones during major events, such as anniversaries. I will be waiting for the next event so I can get the Signature Hero badges on my main badger.

That being said, if you're really looking for a new server to call home, Liberty is a good friendly choice. I also recommend rolling up a new toon first to see if you like our community.

Happy badging whatever you decide!

Let me know when we develop a strategy that doesn't require an obscene amount of temp powers. I will be happy to participate then..

Any other changes you'd like to share? I'd like to know the APPs/PPPs are finalized before I spend the time to pick them up.

If it means another badge for Patriot, I can make the time.
