Microstein Labs: My “Rather Late” Quick Replies…

you always make some great animationcant wait to see your spitfire or whizzer

I've recently taken a fancy for the Invaders, Crusaders and Liberty Legion, so seeing these micros really is a treat. Hope to see more, and keep up the good work!!!

Cool! I like the Baron Blood animations

those are really cool aminations! greatwork!

Greetings All,

Dr. M here once again with a few more ''Invaders'' villains for your amusement.

But first, I want to thank everyone for all their kind words and their encouragement.

Joebleau - Thanks for the post JB. I've mainly been dealing with the villains, at least those that I haven't seen many (if any) Micros of, and truth be told... I hadn't even considered making any of the actual ''Invaders''... especially since there are so many of the individual heroes already in Micro-form... but I suppose I could give it a shot.
("Shoot, or do not shoot. There is no shot." - Punisher to Luke Skywalker from Jar-Jar Wars: Fanboy's Revenge.) Ha!

Kid Chaos! - Hey KC, I'm glad that you're diggin' my Micros, and as I stated in a previous post; ''I have about 20 - 30 total''... so don't worry, I have a whole ''Barrel o’ Bad Guys''!

Whizzbang & Mythu7 - WB/M7, thanks for your kind words, but if it hadn't been for Felis and his info. on animating Gifs... I'd have alot more ''standard'' micros than I would animated ones.

Again, everyone... Thank You.


Alright, now... it's time to scope out some new Micros. Cool Beans!

Ok, first up we have Baron Zemo. True... there are a few micros of him already out there, and I don't actually remember him ever going up against the ''Invaders''... but, what the heck. NOTE: The Zemo's mask is not mine... but the socks are!


Baron Zemo
(Pre. costume, while Zemo was still working for Hitler, and AFTER his little ''Adhesive X'' accident.)




Next up...

The Blue Bullet
(Both ''Standard'' & ''Animated'' versions.)

_


Brain Drain
(Just thought I'd give him a little extra ''robotic'' edge... perhaps 250 volts worth.) NOTE: Brain Drain's ''brain'' is not mine... otherwise I'd have more College credits.

_


BONUS MICROS!!!


The Star Gods
(Four ''Nordic-looking'' aliens responsible for rebuilding Nazi scientist Werner Schmidt - a.k.a. Brain Drain - after their ship crashed, blowing him to bits, and who were later ''Mesmerized'' by BD to do his evil bidding until finally... Captain America and Brunnhilde - one of the Star Gods - were able to free them. Oh, she also gave BD a nice ''Acid Bath'' for being such a jerk!)




Donar, God of Storms!

_


Froh, God of Lightning!

_


Loga, God of Fire!

_


And last, but not least...


Brunnhilde, the Valkyrie!!!

_


Well, that's about all for now. So it's back to the lab to see what else I can whip up. Possibly a peanut butter a & sardine sandwich... yummers!

Dr. M


.

"Kudos" to all the Micro Artists & Designers who came before us, and to all those that shall follow. Without them... none of us would be here today.

Thank You.

.

Yay! Brunnhilde rocks!
*Starts humming "Ride of the Valkyries"*

Great micros, especially the star gods.

Sorry to hear about Suzie. I agree, dogs have souls (most have ones much less tarnished then mine). Without starting a theological debate, that was the very issue I left the Catholic Church over. I couldn't worship a god that would have made something so perfect but not give it a soul.

Try to remember that you brought her joy too; you made her part of your pack.

It's all i wanted to say !!!
C'est tout ce que je souhaitais dire !!!

Greetings All,

Well, as some of you may have noticed… most of my Micros went missing this week. The reason for that, was because my Photobucket album was getting soooo full, I decided to move my Micros into various folders.

The only problem with was…

- I ended up wiping out all my Micros over here!

I tell ya... when Photobucket says, “doing so may break direct link”… they aren’t kidding. GADS!!!

Oh well… live and learn.


Anywho… once I finally got all my ducks in a row over at Photbucket, I went back and re-posted all of my Micros that went missing. So now… everything should be back to normal. Well… as normal as it can be around here anyway. HA!

Ok, before I post a few more GA Villains for ya’ll, I want to thank everyone for all their kind words and support.

ZB2 & MLF – Thank You. As usual, your comments and support are always welcome.

Whizzbang – Glad to hear you’re diggin’ my “Wonder Fräu”. But it just goes to show you… never underestimated the power of a woman. Especially when she’s a ticked-off alien hot-hot hottie! Oh Yeah!!!

Kagemusha –I’m glad that you liked my “Star Gods”, but I especially want to thank you for your kind thoughts regarding the passing of my little Suzie. Unfortunately, I too have had a falling out with those who believe that “man” is the only being that has a soul.

But again… I thank you.


Well, even though this week was rather screwy, here are a few more “Invaders” Villains for everyones enjoyment. Hope ya’ll like them.


First up is Nazi double agent…

Codename: ‘Alfie’

__

'Alfie' used his techno-belt to control a group of heroes (along with their powers) known as The Crusaders. If it weren’t for the Crusader called Dyna-Mite (whom ‘Alfie’ thought he had already killed), along with the help of The Invaders… ‘Alfie’ would have succeeded in killing King George VI. Fortunately for King G, Alfie’s nefarious scheme was foiled, and our Nazi double agent became a charcoal-broiled Nazi ka-bob thanks to the Human Torch (I) when ‘Alfie’ tried to escape in a get-away car. BOOM-BABY!!!


Next we have…

“The Face” and his powerful lackey… Nordo

_ _

A sick and twisted Nazi military commander who got his jollies by finding unusual ways to torture his prisoners. He got his nickname, “The Face”, after a Jewish freedom fighter in Poland's Warsaw Ghetto hurled a homemade bomb at him. The explosion horribly scarred on one side of his face, and he was forced to wear an iron half-mask. Along with Nordo – his extremely strong lackey, “The Face” was able to capture The Invaders… and… true to form… he proceeded to torture them. If it weren’t for Jacob Goldstein (aka THE GOLEM) storming The Face’s castle and freeing the Invaders… WW II’s greatest heroes might have been no more.

NOTE - The Golem smashed through the castle’s roof and landed on Nordo's head. Youch! “The Face” however wasn’t quite so lucky. Cornered by the Golem at the very top of his castle, “The Face” begged for his life like the true coward he was, but… determined to uphold justice, the Golem simply knocked him from the top of the castle, sending “The Face” screaming and plummeting to his death. What a little girly-man.


BONUS MICRO!!! -

Invaders Allie…

The Golem

__

Well, that's about all for today.

Coming up next week...

1) Famous Monster "REBORN"
1) Not as yet Iron-clad villainous Doctor

and...

1) Villain who... for some reason... looks an awful alot like "Jay Leno"???

And "YES"... They are all villains whom the Invaders either fought... or at least met in some way, shape or form.

PEACE OUT!

Dr. M


"Kudos" to all the Micro Artists & Designers who came before us, and to all those that shall follow. Without them... none of us would be here today.

Thank You.

.

man! Im loving your Invaders micros, it was one of my favourite comics from Marvel, keep up the good work!

Greeting All,

Well, here we are again… another week (or “2”)… and another batch of Invaders villains.

But first…

Enzo – Thanks Man! Glad you’re diggin’ my Micros, but dude… your Micros ROCK!!! I can’t wait to see which “Silver Age” characters you come up with next!!!

Well… now that my ego is shot to “H - E - double hockey sticks”…

HA!

… I give you…


1) Famous Monster "REBORN"


FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER

(Micro Version - Standard & Animated)

_ _


FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER

(Mondo Version - Standard & Animated)



_

True… he’s not the “original” Frankenstein’s Monster… but… Dr. Basil Frankenstein (Nazi scientist) decided to follow in his great ancestor’s footsteps by creating life from the recently deceased. The “Monster” was to be the first of an army of Nazi zombie soldiers for Hitler. Basil used the life energies of both the Human Torch (I) and Toro to “power-up” the “Monster” who not only grew in strength... but in size as well. Oh! Basil also wanted to transplant his brain into Captain America’s body. Be sure to check out “Invaders” Vol. 1 #31 to find out what happened. Yeah, yeah… I know… I SUCK! HA!!!


Next we have…

1) Not as yet Iron-clad villainous Doctor


"HANS"

_

‘Hans’ was an assistant to Dr. Olsen, a Nazi scientist who built a machine that brought the Thunder God “Thor” from Asgard to Earth in order to serve Hitler. But when Hitler ordered Olsen to bring Thor’s fellow Asgardians to Earth, the machine exploded!!! Trapped in the rubble, and with Olsen dead, Hitler called out for ‘Hans’ to help him… but ‘Hans’ refused. Turns out that ‘Hans’ was a gypsy whose sir name was “DOOM”… he had traveled back in time to kill Hitler for persecuting gypsies, but in the end Doom decided to leave Hitler to his final fate. ‘Hans’ (a.k.a. Victor Von Doom) then traveled back to his own time and set out to travel the world, eventually he came upon a village of Tibetan monks who trained Victor and created a suit of body armor for him, complete with face plate. The world may have seen the last of ‘Hans’… but it was now witnessing the birth of DOCTOR DOOM!!!!!!!


Lastly we have...

1) Villain who... for some reason... looks an awful a lot like "Jay Leno"???


THE HYENA

_

The Hyena was a pre-Invaders enemy of the Human Torch (I). Hitler ordered the Hyena to get hold of a blood sample of the Human Torch (I) in order for Hitler’s scientists to create an army of super-fast Nazi soldiers. The Hyena (along with his two accomplices Agent Axis and the Shark) was able to somehow swipe a blood sample, but during a chase in the Shark’s speedboat, followed by a shipboard fight… the Torch’s blood sample was knocked into the ocean. The Hyena (and his two fiends) was handed over to the U.S. Navy and was never heard from again.


BONUS MICROS!!!!!!!!!!

THE HYENA
(My 1st Hyena micro “before” color change due to GIF Animator.)




THE HYENA – or – JAY LENO???
(You Make The Call.)

_ _


THE SHARK



The Shark was a pre-war foe of the Sub-Mariner. He was just a small-time modern-day pirate who was hired by Hitler to steal the Sub-Mariner’s swim trunks.

Yes… Hitler was a PERV!!!!!!!

Anywho… Hitler just wanted his scientists to study the material of the Sub-Mariner’s swim trunks in order to create “super wet suits” for his Nazi frogmen. The Shark hopped into his shark-styled speedboat and sped off in search for the Sub-Mariner.

Once located, the Shark hit Namor with one of his shark-shaped electrified torpedoes. The Shark then had his henchmen drag the unconscious Sub-Mariner aboard his speedboat, dry him off and chain him up. That’s when the Shark stole Namor’s undies (good heavens). Once Namor came to, he realized that he wasn’t wearing his usual deep-sea skivvies; he then tried to trick one of the Shark’s henchmen into throwing him overboard so that his powers would return and he could beat the snot out of the Shark and his crew. It was about that time when the cosmic being known as The Grandmaster abducted Namor for one of his cosmic games. Namor was returned just in time to help the Human Torch (I) capture The Hyena, who… along with Agent Axis, just happened to be in league with The Shark, all of whom were in the service of Adolph Hitler. Boo!!! Hiss!!!

F.Y.I. - The villainous trio were speeding back to Uncle Adolph with their ill-gotten spoils... a blood sample of the Human Torch (I), Sub-Mariner’s swim trunks, and… Captain America’s shield!!!


Well, that’s all for this week. I’m not too sure what I’ll have for ya’ll next week… I just hope that I’ll be able to post something “next week”.

Take care,

Dr. M

As always you made a great work for your micro's animation !!
And Jay Leno is really great !
Comme d'habitude, tu as fais de l'excellent boulot pour l'animation de tes micros !!
Et Jay Leno est vraiment classe !

cool stuff

I really like this set

Greetings all,

Well, the past few weeks have been really confusing around here… and when I say “here”… I mean at home… not here “here”. I had actually hoped to have finished this Invaders “Villains” installment by now… but things haven’t gone the way I had originally anticipated. Seems that over the past few weeks I’ve had a bunch of ideas for micros - AND - micro animations and or revamps… too many in fact. I suppose it’s just a case of having one too many irons in the fire… talk about “sensory overload”… DA-ZAM!!!!!!

Anywho... here are a few more Invader’s “Villains” for ya’ll, although unfortunately not all of them are animated… mainly because I wasn’t 100% sure of their full-on superpowers, while others just didn’t seem to want to get animated, and one of them (Scarlet Scarab) had what I’d call a “Major” color change… his costume was ok… but his skin color went all grey. Weird.


Oh well, enough confusion for now.

I hope ya’ll enjoy the madness.


Invaders Villains (Part ???)

Pretty sweet creations. Are you going to do some heroes to go with the villians?

great work Microstein youve got alot of impressive work and animations going on keep up the great work

oh my favorite series, the invaders, and you are doing a great job on their ennemis

bravo

great work man! Keep those coming!

Nice new invader's ennemies, I especially like your Lady Lotus

Greetings All,

First of all… sorry about the mix-up. As some of you might have noticed, I tried to update my previous post… but like the old saying goes… “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

Words to live by.

Believe Me.

At least I didn’t lose any of my Micros, I just screwed up… a mistake I will rectify with this post. So yes… there will be a few Reposts this time around, but… there will also be a few NEW Micros added to the mix, and if possible… an additional post this evening.

Ok, before we get to the Micros, I have to say “Hey” to a few fellow Micro-Heads out there.


Omniferis – I thought about doing some Invaders “Heroes”… but since there are so many of them already out there… Captain America, Sub-Mariner, Torch (I), Whizzer, etc… I decided to deal with more on the “Villains”… especially the ones’ that don’t have a lot (if any) Micros of them already out there. True, I did make a Baron Zemo - AND - a Red Skull, and as we all know… neither of those guys are hurtin’ for Micros… especially ol’ Red… but I thought… what the heck. Anywho, at least Baron Z is in his pre-fuzzy purple skivvies… and after all this time I just thought that ol’ Red could really use a good laugh. Who knows… maybe he saw someone falling down the stairs… I know that always makes me bust a gut when I see that happen. HA! Wicked child! Wicked, wicked, wicked! (ha!)

BUT… as for your request (and or inquiry) regarding some Invaders “Heroes”… before I got into making the villains, I “did” try my hand at a few pre-Invaders… mainly Steve Rodgers, Namor, and Jim Hammond… and while I won’t call them my own… I did “tweak” some of Micros that I had already collected from off the web… again… I won’t call them my own, but I will post them for your perusal.


Sir Engel Uriel – You wrote: “Great work Microstein, you’ve got a lot of impressive work and animations going on, keep up the great work.”


Ooooh… so it’s SIR now is it?

Isn’t that just peachy!


Ok, Well… first of all “Sir” Urkel… that’s DR. Microstein to “You”! I didn’t go to Micro-Medical School for 4 ½- weeks NOT to be called Doctor! I mean honestly, you wouldn’t call Mr. T… Pickles. You wouldn’t call Darth Vader… Ol’ Bronchial Breath. And you certainly wouldn’t call Madonna… Skanky Britches. Well… actually, I suppose she does qualify… but you get my point!


By the way dude… I’m just kiddin’.





Glad to hear that you’re diggin’ my Micros, just sorry about the Reposts.

Dr. M


Joebleau – I’m glad that you’re enjoying my take on the Villains from the Invaders series, I’m hoping to send them to my cousins after I’m finished. Last year, I started sending them some of the Micros that I’ve collected over the past few years… along with a few of the Micros that I whipped up my own self. I suppose if it weren’t for them requesting an Alien/Predator Hybrid… I might not have gotten into Micro making as much as I have.


That’s right people… if anyone is to blame for all this Micro Madness it’s them, so please… Quit Calling! HA!


ION – I’m glad that you (along with a few other folks out there) like my work. I’m still learning, and I suppose I’ll always consider myself a “newbie”… although some of my family say that I should try to sell my Micros, or at least try get into some kind of field that I can expand on “whatever talent” I might have. But like I tell them, it’s just a hobby. I find it relaxing, it’s fun, I can use my imagination… and besides… it keeps me off the streets at night. HA! But seriously, “yeah”, if I could find something in the computer and or gaming field, that’d be cool… but like I said, I’m still learning. Besides, I still can’t do a “Transparent Micro”, and it takes me at least a week (sometimes longer) just to put together what Micros I do have, and in the 9 to 5 world… time is money, and excuses will not be tolerated. Yeah… I’ve worked for some real jerks. But hey, I suppose we all have… guess that’s why I’m such a slacker now. HA!


Anth – I’m glad that you liked Lady Lotus. I’m planning on do another version of her, but this time with… HYPNO-VISION!!!! I tried one, but I’m not that happy with it. I hope to have a better “Version 2” later today, but it’s hard to get that circular-swirl effect in the small areas of her eyes. Too bad she doesn’t wear glasses. Ha!


Ok, now… here are a few Invaders “Villains” for ya’ll… again, sorry about the Reposts.


Teutonic Knight
(Version 1A)

__

(Version 1B)

__

(Version 2A- From the cover of Invaders #29 - 1978)

(Version 2B)

Coming up…Hopefully Tonight... “SUPER AXIS”!!!


Followed by… “BATTLE AXIS”!!!

Followed by… Pre-Invaders HEROES!!!

Followed by… ?????

Note: The upcoming Heroes were actually some of my first attempts at making Micros. A little tweak here… and a little tweak there.

Here a tweak.

There a tweak.

Everywhere a tweak, tweak.

‘Ol Doc Micro had a lab… E- I - E - I - O.


HA!

.


"Kudos" to all the Micro Artists & Designers who came before us, and to all those that shall follow. Without them... none of us would be here today.

Thank You.

.

Some really cool animations.

Greetings All,

Well, thankfully someone did post a reply/comment about my last post, so I think it’s ok for me to post my next batch of Invaders “Villains”.

Thank You Blanchett!

Dr. M


Now, as promised… “SUPER AXIS”!!!


Lady Lotus - With “Hypno-Vision”.




U-Man - Partner (and unsuspecting pawn) of Lady Lotus.

__


Baron Blood - Lady Lotus gave BB a new costume and a guarded coffin to rest in, as long as he served in her “Super Axis”.

__ __





Master Man - Lady Lotus used her psychic powers to force MM to join her “Super-Axis”.

__ __


Warrior Woman - Lady Lotus used her psychic powers to force WW to join her “Super-Axis”.

(Versions 2A & 2B)

__

(Versions 3A & 3B)

__

Human Torch- WHAT?!?!

__

Lady Lotus used her hypnotic powers to enslave the HT, and she made him believe that Captain America had stolen Spitfire away from him. Even though this wasn't true, it enraged the HT and made him want to destroy the Invaders. So, during their battle with “Super-Axis”, the Invaders were surprised to be attacked by their fiery teammate. Eventually, the Sub-Mariner was able to douse the HT in water, thus shocking him back to his senses. The HT then joined in the fight against “Super-Axis”, and aided in the super-villains defeat… although Lady Lotus escaped and went into hiding after her defeat.


Yellow Claw - Not at all pleased with Lady Lotus - or her failure.
(Tweaked "Kirby" version with "Wong" sleeves.)

Next Up... "BATTLE AXIS"!!!

Followed by... Pre-Invaders "HEROES"!!!

Followed by... ???
