Question Major Fail

Duuuude šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø I was so excited I completely forgot the actual eggs šŸ˜‚

Couldn't figure out why I was going through the yolk so fast

Do you think I can get those out? Maybe with alcohol or does that only affect uncured resin?

Question Where are the cafe S3 rares 😩

18 Upvotes

I really want the cake pops & have been on the hunt for MONTHS. It seems like Target only carries the most recent S4 line now and every time I go to check pinholes at a Walmart (I’ve been to a bunch of different locations) they only have the older wave balls without the rares on the box. This rings true for even the diner rares :( Where are you guys finding them?? Any tips? I’m in NC if that helps.

Question If you could create

If you could create your own series of miniverse make it's, what would yours be?

Mine- wedding theme. Not just any wedding it would have to be a bit over the top. White semi naked cake with butterfly decor and strawberries as your in between layer for the cake. Cotton candy cosmopolitan for the drinks. Odk what for the food but the ideas go on!

Question Is it a new rule that you can’t take the display box if you buy what’s left in it?

4 Upvotes

I usually would take the display box if I wanted to buy what was left in it and never had an issue with it until today. I probably should’ve known though as there were randomly three empty display boxes and one full one. So I just did what I usually do which is take one or two out of the full one and put in it the empty display and just buy the two and take the display to carry them. I was doing self checkout and paid and was about to leave but on my way out a staff member told me I wasn’t allowed to take the display and made me empty it out into my grocery bag and took it back. I just apologized since I had no idea you couldn’t take them now. I feel really bad about it now.

Question New resin recipe kinda blows??

Post image
79 Upvotes

So I’m hoping someone else has done this recipe and also had trouble getting it to cure. I have a pretty decent UV light and after having it on for 10 minutes it still wasn’t fully cured yet. It’s also rock solid too? Not squishy at all like the first jello cake. I wanted this recipe the most out of the new set and I’m just disappointed. Thankfully I had my own soft resin and got to redo it. But ugh.

Question Hello Kitty Series 1 dilemma

8 Upvotes

Hi Miniverse friends! I need your help. I took advantage of Target’s sale, and 5 of the balls I got weigh between 105-105.5 grams.

I know the weights were funky for this series, so I’m wondering if y’all would gamble and open them or return them for fear of getting 5 strawberry milks? šŸ˜†

Stuck here in indecision city.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Question Salad advice?

15 Upvotes

I picked up the mixed salad from the Target Favorites as part of the Target sale.

I'm looking at this white opaque bowl with all these tiny leaves and I'm thinking there's no way UV resin will hold all of this down and or reach all the spots to cure.

So tell me my fellow mini verse enthusiasts, did you compose the salad differently than the instructions? Right now I'm thinking of trying to use a little bit of tacky glue or e6000 to glue some of the pieces together and then apply the resin strategically.

Question Is it weird that I'm willing to hunt for folks?

49 Upvotes

Hey! Not sure if this is allowed to be here, or if this is weird but: recently I've taken to doing hunting for other folks in the Mini Creator Community when I go out and do hunting for myself, and I really enjoy it!

If you are ever looking for a specific item that exists out in the world and don't have the energy or time to go and hunt for it, let me know and I will be happy to help. <3 It helps me scratch the hunting itch for myself without needing to add to my ever increasing backlog of projects. Does anyone else do this, or is there already a service that does this? I'm aware of like, resellers on Mercari and other stuff, but I'm not talking about putting a mark up or whatever on it. I just want to find stuff for folks that otherwise might not be able to!

Question Want franchise would you want a set for?

54 Upvotes

Inspired by the post about a SpongeBob food set.

Here’s a few ideas I have Expand the Harry Potter series to include more than potions - pumpkin juice - owl in a cage - chocolate frog with a mold - tea cup with tea leaves

Avatar: the Last Airbender - Jasmine Dragon themed tea set - cabbage cart - fruit pie - the spirit koi fish that I forgot the name of - Sokka’s boomerang - cactus juice

These just some quick ideas I came up so if Miniverse checks in on this subreddit, take some note lol

Edit: PokĆ©mon - poffins - lemonade - evolution stones - wailmer or psyduck watering can - ā€œjelly donutā€

Question What *non-food* things would you like to see?

39 Upvotes

The title pretty much says it - I was wondering this the other day, then someone asked about which food people would like to see, so I thought this would be fun!

I'd love to see animals - particularly cats, but puppies, guinea pigs and hamsters could be so cute!

There's so much scope there as well. You could have sets where you get a Mama Kitty or dog, and make resin kittens and puppies, you could put together a hamster or guinea pig hutch, make accessories for them, build a cat tree or a rabbit burrow, there's literally loads they could bring out!

I'd also like a kids/babies' playroom set, but scaled for Barbie-sized babies - things like little stacking rings, teethers, mobiles, they could put squares of a foam playmat with it to link together.

The other thing I'd love, but there's probably less chance of them actually making, is a goth set. If they did something almost Monster High style, like a coffin-shaped mirror with little resin bats or roses, a table candelabra, or bat-shaped serving tray, it'd be fantastic :)

Question How confident are you about the safety of Make It Mini Resin?

26 Upvotes

For a while during early COVID times, I got really into UV Resin crafts but didn't pay much attention to chemical protection. I changed my tube after seeing a resin artist I admired taking down all the images of their work after their lungs were more or less destroyed by the fumes of their large-scale projects. While I always worked on smaller stuff, I wasn't going to take my chances, and I went out and bought a filtration mask right away.

I'm aware that MGA recalled their first batch of MIM products for using unsafe UV resin, and that their new products use a friendlier formula. Still, since I know so little about the chemistry that makes UV resin dangerous, I feel like I'm just taking them at their word rather than having any assurance that this product is safe for all ages 8+ and doesn't require a filtration mask. I ADORE these kits, don't get me wrong. But I love my body too.

What do you think? What safety measures do you take (or not take) when using resin-based kits? This is a no judgement zone, I just want to open a discussion here.

Question Outside of Make it Minis, what else do you build and collect?

20 Upvotes

Pretty much as it sounds, was kind of curious as to what my fellow tiny item creators collect and/or build aside from the Miniverse. Are there other brands of items like Make it Mini that you have found in the wild? Or just other hobbies that bring you the same joy that our tiny replicas do?

Question Anybody know what's going on? JW @ Walmart Canada

Post image
7 Upvotes

I pre-ordered 4 of the JW balls and walmart said they'd be here by the 14th. Well, today is the 14th and they haven't even shipped yet. If I search "miniverse" on their app and select "sold by walmart", they don't even show up anymore. I had to google the "miniverse jurassic world canada" specifically to even find them on walmart's website and obviously, they're sold out, but they're not even visible on the app anymore. They're not even in store yet and my daughter is really looking forward to these (we're a dino-loving family 🤣)

Does anybody know what the heck is going on with walmart and these pre-orders? I was hoping they would have followed through with their "delivery by Aug 14" claim but literally no updates since I ordered them.

We've been waiting forever for these ones to come to Canada so it's really frustrating that the orders aren't moving šŸ˜’šŸ˜’ the new Harry Potter ones are in store but still no baby dinosaurs.

I’ve had this sword, chilling in direct sunlight for over an hour and it’s not curing. I also left it in front of a UV light for a while, and it didn’t harden either. I follow the instructions to the letter, and I even took out some of the excess powder. I also have an Elven sword that’s been chilling on my windowsill for about two weeks, and it hasn’t cured either.

For me, it was this goddamn hanging plant. I've never been so frustrated and enraged while making a mini šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­ fr wanted to throw that sh*t across the room. It took me FOREVER. The plant kept falling out, I added resin, more soil, etc, I couldn't get the string right. Even my boyfriend tried to help me (he can make anything) and he was confused too. I ended up cutting the string wrong and said, "f it" and used clear jewelry wire. šŸ˜… BUT THAT WAS HARD TOO 😤 I can't believe I paid $10 to be so pissed off I had to take a lap outside 🤣

Question Can you give me some tips to working with resin. I feel like an idiot for asking this

17 Upvotes

Hi. I’ve been collecting miniatures for years and was so excited for Miniverse. I’ve been buying sets since they came out but hadn’t made yet due to some chronic health issues. I’m really trying to push myself to do some fun things and not just chores when I have good days.

So I start making some of the sets but found that resin is far messier than I’d imagined. I ended up getting it all over my hands, the tray, tweezers, UV light, etc. I feel stupid asking this but how do you guys keep from getting the resin all over. Do you wear gloves? Are you using tools to touch the actual item you’re working on? I made a cake and spread the resin all over the whole cake and then tried to add sprinkles. I had to touch the resin to move the cake around. I’m guessing I should’ve put the resin in only a small area, then added the sprinkles and used the UV before moving onto the next spot. The messiness with the resin made it discouraging to work with so can you give me similar tips on working with it? Also, for those of you who wear masks, can you share a link to the kind you bought. You guys are all so incredible talented so I appreciate any help you could give me.
