Dark Horse Miniatures Style Figures

I just made a batch of these, I'm going for a Dark Horse style. The packaging is just a mock up I made with a printed image and a ziploc, but I have custom blister packaging in the works.

Anyone have any weird ideas for minis? The next ones I'm going to make are Ghengis Frog with sunglasses on, and all three retromutagen ooze mini's on one stand. What are some other figures from the original toyline that wouldn't look too out of place in this style

Yep, that ones a no brainer. Great figure, and the sculpt wasn't too wacky so it fits perfectly with this style. I'll have to track a loose one down and get a scan

Here's the 3 retromutagen ooze turtles on one base, I may do the same with the sidekicks figures that came with the 90's figures too



Also, I think I have these scaled wrong. The first batches I made are around 1.75 inches. Does anyone here have an actual dark horse miniature and confirm that they're about 1 inch tall?

Looks cool. Amazing how much detail can be captured with 3D printers, even on such a small scale. Do you plan on painting any of them? Or just the silver look. I see alot of customizers on IG making 3D prints of vintage TMNT figures in all sizes, from tiny to huge, fully articulated and painted. The Giant Size ones look really cool, to make the characters that didn’t get a Giant figure such as Shredder. If I ever get a 3D printer I’d like to re-scale some of the vintage figures a little bit larger such as Slash, Metalhead, Leatherhead, General Traag, and ‘94 Krang’s Android Body. They were too small compared to the turtles.

These ones I'm going to leave gray, unless I decide to do a metallic coat to make them more lead like. But I do paint my other minis all the time. Check out my other thread for some painted examples. These guys are my favs





I have been tempted to make some big ones, but it's not practical if you're trying to do 50+ characters. Maybe once I run out of ideas I'll start playing with larger scales
