MU Customs

[wickedgamer]

Hi Gang. It's been a while since I posted anything, mostly because it's been a while since I finished anything. This week, though, I had a burst of inspiration and finished off a couple of 90s-style X-Men I'd had in the works. Starting with:

 

Next up:

 

Jim Lee Rogue

 

 

She's kind of a frankenstein, which I find satisfying when they come out well.

 

 

The thing I'm most pleased about is how well the X logo on her chest and the belt buckle came out.

 

 

Hair- DC Infinite Heores Starfire

Head and feet- G.I.Joe ROC Baroness

Torso and legs- MU Firestar

Jacket- DC Infinite Heroes Black Canary

Arms- G.I.Joe 25th Anniversary Lady Jaye

Belt- G.I.Joe 25th Flash

 

I hate (hate, hate, HATE) painting things yellow, so when I ended up with an extra Firestar, I determined to find something to do with it. It was between this and Crystal in her early FF look. I actually think its more likely that Hasbro will make this version of Rogue eventually, but I was intrigued by the challenge.

 

Here's a group shot (yeah, I still prefer my ML Showdown versions for many of these characters):

 

Belt

 

 

Gimme that Rouge!!! I will love you forever and ever! Promise! lol

Nah, but I do appreciate you posting your recipie, it came out near PERFECT!

now when i have some time i'll attempt her myself!

Loving your forge as well.

Such a great group shot! (but where's Cyclops??)

WOW Xavier looks pretty cool! like he just came from chillin' on the block! hahahahaha

[oldmanlogan]

hey guys, not really a custom I guess, but I just found that the legends mr fantastic arms fit on the universe Daredevil body mr fantastic if you take his hands off. idk I was pretty excited. I might try to make them look better though.

That's one veeerrry nice rogue! though you could've used a better face for her, IMO Hasbro screwed up big time with that ROC baroness face,and is better off being used for villains. But it doesn't change the fact that you did top notch work! great job!

 

Just Finished this, finally after holding it off for a long time...

 

Guess who?

 

 

Drilled two holes on the side of his ears so he can wear the sunglasses from ROC Baroness...

 

 

 

More pics...

sorry double post...

[AmuroMkII]

and some more...

 

 

 

Tell me what you think!

[GuidoVCGGA]

Wow. Simple, but good. Good work. I like that he looks a bit sly here, like he knows something that others don't. Good color scheme as well.

[GuidoVCGGA]

LazyCustomizer- I really enjoy your x-team- great job! I think you're going to cause some of us to doubt your username; these do not appear to be the work of a lazy man!

[TaliesinCrow]

Nothin major here, and still have a couple of things to tighten up on him like his chest strap. And the leg straps match the chest in person, but the camera flash makes them look lighter.

 

But I give you... BOB Agent of Hydra...

 

[AmuroMkII]

^Interesting take on Bob, what head did you use?

[TaliesinCrow]

Thanks, The head is a 03 Pit Viper. I have a few more I'm going to use to make more Hydra Goons.

Stretch Strike venom head and articulated hands:

 

 

I modified it to attach at the bottom of the head in order to fit on regular neck balls. I also gave it the ability to go slightly up and down without the new type necks.

Does anyone know if the Sword Strike Thor head will pop off easily?

Is there a ball joint above the hinged neck?

Thanks in advance

SICK!

[Tiger]

Onyx! That's the coolest Skull yet!

[DresselRebel]

Daaaaang, I've been waiting for someone to do a Ghost for ages! Great work!

 

The figure eddiehellman posted looks great. I did this one in February and posted it here. Ghost has been one of my favorite characters since Osborn had him crack open Stark's armor cave in Dark Avengers, and had him join the Thunderbolts.

 

 

[darkart99609]

That’s cool Dressel. Are the eyes LEDs or does it just look lit up?

[Onyx]

Hulk V2 "Rage" W.I.P.

 

Here's something 'm working n now. Any thoughts/advice?

UPPER & BOTTOM LIP NEEDS A LITTLE TWEEKING & AFTER THAT HULK WILL LOOK DOPE
