Immortal Iron Fist and Spiderman.
For Iron Fist, I simply added a repainted Dr. Strange belt, and painted wraps on his arms.
For Spidey, I repainted the blue on his costume and replaced his neck joint with Dr. Strange's.


Cyclops and Dr. Doom
For Dr. Doom, I added a black wash to his armor, added a cloth cape, and gave him an energy effect.
For Cyclops, I swapped his arms for Ghost Rider's and added a wolverine jacket


Steve Rogers and Ult. Cap
For Steve Rogers, I swapped his head for Renegades Duke, but I repainted the skin and hair to be more comic colored. IMO he looks 1000x better and is one of my favorite MU's now!
For Ult. Cap I repainted all the Red, White, and Blue, and the boots. I also replaced his hands with some GI Joe ones and added a peg so they're articulated, but you can't really see them in the picture

Thanks for checking them out and I hope the pics aren't too big!

ok for the Iron Fist was it just cream colored paint you used for his wraps?

how hard was it to do the neck joint on Spidey's head

For Comander Rogers did you have to drill Dukes head?

I've got two. my parents bought them for me as a birthday present a while back. I have transformers in them and MU on top. Love these things.

I got my X-Force Archangel relisted for 3 days instead of 24 hours because they couldn't seem to get that right. Anyway, here is the link:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

[Jason Abbadon]

You should put a crazy Buy It Now of $200 and see who bites- you never know...

Why would someone pay 75 plus shipping when they could get it for 60 plus a year subscription of comics?

Thats kind of a scalper move dude

[D Day]

And the outside shipping box is "kind of rough" even worse.

[NoodleChow]

or smart. dogfashiondisco could in theory sell it for the 6 bucks shipping and handling or, judging by the one other MOC x-force archangel listing, sell his for 100+ bucks which could go towards more toys and such thus paying for the subscription and then some. prolly people not wanting to hassle through the digital subscription which takes weeks to ship anyways.

I only put that on the listing because I took the shipping label off of it (you know, my name and address). And I'm not a scalper dude, it isn't like I went out and bought a Psylocke (a current figure) for $7.99 and asked $100 for it. I paid about $70 for the digital subscription to get this figure, and now I'm asking for that amount.

Exactly. There is another one selling for $102. Some people would rather just buy the figure, and I'm offering it as an auction for the US and Canada. I'm not even sure if they do Canadian subscriptions.

Right, and I could try to sell my MOC cable with hope for 40 dollars. And I could use the 32 dollars profit to buy more toys.

But that doesn't make it any less of a scalper move

I'm not trying to start a fight, just saying it's kind of scalper move.

MOC Cable with Hope is totally worth $40. Why? Because you can't go to a store and buy it anymore, that is just how it works. Hell, I paid over $40 for a Mandarin figure before they started showing up in the wild. Oh, and someone already bid on Archangel, sweet.

[usagent27]

For Comander Rogers did you have to drill Dukes head?

-I just added a tiny bit of yellow to white, but yeah that works too!
-For spidey, I just took an x-acto to both necks and glued on strange's. Strange's neck peg is smaller than spider-man's head hole so I had to add a little glue and putty to make it smaller.
- Dukes head just popped right onto the Rogers body.


Here's a quick pick of Crossbones and Red Skull -- I will have an official custom thread soon, but wanted to share this for now

[mikefavata]

How did you add more shelves?
