		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I started making 12&#8243; custom figures, I have been doing more work with fabric. Once I got more comfortable with the materials, I started thinking about using fabric with Minimates to see how it looked. Other small action figure lines have used cloth for certain items here and there, but so far (correct [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After receiving some great suggestions from readers on my last post, Experimenting with Dyeing Minimates, I decided to continue the experiments. This time around, I used boiling hot water, liquid dye instead of powder, and I left the Minimates in the solution for an hour. I tried yellow dye instead of black, just to change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have wanted to experiment with dyeing Minimates for a long time now,  probably ever since I saw Ivan's Pantone display. I have been picking up different shades of dye for my 1/6 scale custom figures, so I decided it was time to try it out on Minimates. The dye I have been using is called Rit dye, and from what I have read online, it can be used to effectively dye plastic.]]></description>

But honestly I haven&#8217;t been updating my custom Minimate gallery there because the system I was using took forever to update. I had always meant to recreate the site from scratch, but once it expired, I realized that a better place for my custom minimates [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year we experimented with several brands of inkjet sticker paper in order to find the best inkjet-based solution for Minimates. We finally settled on the our Inkjet Vinyl Sticker Paper that we currently carry in our store. Recently, we heard from youbastards over at MMV about another type of inkjet sticker paper that we missed the first time around - Glossy Photo Adhesive Paper by Papilio. I ordered a pack to experiment with, and here are the results.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight my family celebrated Christmas with my side of the family. One of my presents was a CowboyStudio Photo Studio Light Tent Kit in a Box (and also Skyrim for the Xbox 360!). I have wanted one of these studio kits for a long time, but I never ended up buying one for myself, so it was a nice surprise. As soon as we got home, I wanted to try it out. I will let you decide if it makes a difference. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some celebrity faces are hard for toy makers and customizers to portray accurately. For example, try to find a good Harrison Ford likeness among the dozens of Han Solo and Indiana Jones figures out there. For every good one there are at least ten bad ones! Whenever I come across a celebrity face that is difficult to nail in the Minimate style, I use the following "trace and stretch" method.]]></description>
