Marvel Animated Mimic - by Lars

ToyBiz Incredible Hulk animated figure.

1890’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Mimic - by Joshua Izzo

My interpretation of Mimic posed the question, what would Mimic look like
were he a Victorian/Neo-Romantic Dandy? This custom was a lot of fun and
knowing that it was going to my friend Pierre made it all the more
satisfying.

This version of Mimic began with a base body of the Toy Biz X-Men Movie 2 Nightcrawler for the torso and arms, the Jakks Pacific Universal Studios Dracula donated the trousers and jacket, Jakks Pacific Imhotep from the Mummy Returns line provided the over-sized bare feet, the wings came from a McFarlane Spawn Redeemer figure and the head and hands were from a McFarlane Sleepy Hollow Ichabod Crane figure. The rest of the accessories, glasses and other fine details were crafted from vinyl, Kneadatite and bits from the
fodder boxes.

Exiles Mimic - by Fred aka DoubleDealer

This version of Mimic is based upon his appearance in the Exiles. This figure features multiple points of articulation and stands 6" tall.

Pocket Super Heroes Mimic - by Julius Marx

For Project Mimic I found myself channeling the spirit of the Iron-Cow and making multiple entries instead of the one I was asked for or channeling Pierre himself and going above and beyond the call of duty. After all Airmax was the one the pioneered the "Julius Marx Animated Super Powers" project when my daughter was born. Filling out his new Mimic shelf is the least I can do. I just hope he really likes Mimic the way that he says that he does!

Tha Pocket Super Heroes Mimic was SO easy and I had all the parts I couldn't NOT make it. His base is one of the Legion of Super Heroes Pocket Heroes. I don't know which one because I got is accidentally thrown in with a mail order of other PSH and I'm not into Legion at all. So he's a Legion guy primed and repainted with Hawkgirl wings. I added a big toe to each foot to help with the look the style bit still give the impression he is barefoot.

HeroClix Mimic - by Julius Marx

This one came about just because will I was fishing out the Legion PSH from the back of my display I happed to look down and see I had a spare Vulture HeroClix on the shelf below, and thought, "How easy would THAT be?" So, here he is. He is a Marvel Vulture HeroClix with the armor dremmeled off, a milliput visor and repainted.

Super Powers Mimic Action Figure - by Julius Marx

In order to get the "Beast"- like sqatty-ness for the character I used a Hawkman body (not only is it big and stocky, but the wings already attach to it.), wing and arms and Parademon legs. I rounded off his talons and added some extra toes with milliput to give him the big feet he needed. He has an Aquaman head and cut vinyl goggles. Unlike Airmax who does AMAZING kit-bashed Frankenstein customs, for some reasons when I comes to Super Powers customs I try to only use Super Powers parts (or other Kenner stuff of that era). I think that is because the first custom Super Powers figures I ever saw were from Scooter's Custom Works and that how he operated.

X-Men Evolution Mimic - by Matt ‘Iron-Cow’ Cauley

X-Men Evolution "Powered-Up" Mimic - by Matt ‘Iron-Cow’ Cauley

This Mimic uses a slight variation of the previous recipe. The spikes come from an X-Men Evolution Spyke figure while the head comes from a Jungle Attack He-Man instead.

ToyBiz Marvel 5" Mimic - by Toy Otter

Mimic was created from an Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth, with liberal amounts of sculpey, kneadatite, and spit. A Super Powers Hawkman made the ultimate sacrifice and donated his wings to give the Mimic a chance at flight. Bless you, Hawkman. Bless you!

Brotherhood Mimic - by SamuRon

This version of Mimic is based on his later years. This figure features multiple points of articulation and comes equiped with an ice spear.

Mimic Action Figure Concept Art - by Chris Franklen aka Earth-2 Robin

When Matt told me about the Mimic project for Airmax, I went running to my old dog-earred copies of the 'Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Book of the Dead'. Since my customizing leaves much to be desired, I decided to go with what I know. So I just drew up a sketch of Mimic carrying some stylin' sneakers. I doubt they'd fit over his gigantic, Beast-like feet, but what the hey!

Ultimate Universe Mimic Concept Art - by Tommy aka therewasme

A last minute change for Mimic from a custom to 2-d art. My work was coming out crappy to say the least so I went ahead and created a 2-d peice: Ultimate Universe Mimic.

Mimic Video Game Action Figure Concept Art - by Anubis8

He first graced the pages of The X-Men in the late 60's and despite only making a few appearances, this
unusual mutant made quite an impression on the comic book world. Now 30 years later, The Mimic is being
given his own line of figures.

The Mimic seen here in his classic uniform takes on the X-Men's greatest foes Steven Lang's Sentinels!
Sentinent robots with one mission, one goal, to eradicate mutants from the face of the Earth! With the
rest of the team team already defeated, can The Mimic stop The Sentinels from achieving their goal?
