it not his secret avengers costume, its his original colors when he was first introduced. To be honest, even unfinished, it looks better than the ML version.

It looks pretty badass so far indeed. Thanks for the correction. I'm not up to date on all moon knight's looks over the years.

The closest to moon knight I read back in the day was malibu's Night Man. I've only been recently starting to get into more info on Moon Knight with his more recent minis. (Always knew who he was, just never really looked into him all that much as a kid.)

And another work in progress. I had to do something with spare Ice Man body. Will post when done. Pretty obvious what it's gonna be.

Very nice man. You are very talented indeed. I am guessing he will be a moon knight.

If you read the essential moon knight books, its a completly different person than charlie huston's grimdark interpretation. Its all good until you hit vengeance of the moon knight where he gets the armored costume(he kinda needed that since he destroyed both his kneecaps in 2005, finally killing the joker to his batman)

FUCKING AWSOME!!! I'm going to do that with Moonknight asap, you think a Scarlet Spider body would be good? SO STOKED. Thank you dude!! I also love what you did with your Super Skrull. I made one too, different costume though... I think I will do the phasing whenever I can get an extra Ice-Man. Did you sculpt the Thing hand? If so, is it removable? Here is mine.

Again though, I cannot wait to see that finished Moonknight, hurry up!

^ What body is that?!?

It is the normal Skull Soldier body, with the skirt from ROC Storm Shadow, and I had to use my noob molding skills for the upper half. I removed the original belt and shoulder pads to add the robe.

actually man I think the gloves give him an ominous look.

Tiberius · 11-01-2011, 06:28 PM

This was one of my first "major" customs. Cannot wait to get Guardians in the mail, along with Nova in the future =3.

Epic set, Mainly want that Britain and Red Guardian to add to my Russian Mafia team haha.

No its The International Patriots pack. I dont really care for the cap series Cap Britain besides excalibur sword. But who knows might just get it for the detailed sword.

I'm more agitated by the fact I have to get a gambit to get him, but oh well. To me that's more annoying than re-used body parts. It's annoying to be forced into multiples of characters because you need the other it comes with. Like the upcoming Moon Knight and Ant-Man.

I have a moon knight and a wasp single carded for trade if you are intrested in either.

you really cant win either way unless you are prepared to wait and place bets on a release lol

yeah, it really is a crap shoot, there are plenty of two pack figures that they have yet to, or probably never will release single carded:

Deadpool
Task Master
Klaw
Night Crawler
and three Members of the wrecking crew
Just to name a few

So you can't really wait and see if they will release a single carded figure and potentialy miss out on owning a figure. What you really have to hope is that if they do release a single carded version that it's not better than the 2 pack one you already have.

Mine has a bit of paint bleed on it but I still love him. Not sure why. Maybe its just cuz he was the first MU I got that wasn't deadpool. Also I have this friend who is British and she collects Psylocke stuff so I like buying her brother cuz my friend is just like a sister to me.

A bit of fun with the sentinel

With the poster in the back, it first it looked like there was 2 dozen MU figures attacking the Sentinels head.

That's about as close to posing them as you're going to get from me.

I dont know why but this makes me sad.

Thanks! Wall space is tiny for me, so on pegs is the only way I can hang them all...

The real difference is at my little store, every figure is different and variants are easily found. At retail, you see 4 Wreckers and 10 Iron Men, if you see MU at all.

Wow! Nice work! I'm jealous of your three pack. All I have is what's in stores, so I'm missing all the older exclusives. One day I'll work on that...

Others you may not have heard of: MIB (Mint in Box), MOMC (Mint on mint card), NIB (New in Box)
