Love the horse (the helmet on the horse makes it work so well with Odin), but really liking what you've done with Magneto. I can't wait to get that figure.

Those gates look great! Like the entrance to Mutant School, or where child Magneto losses his mother in First Class.

I think they had to dremel out the inside of the helmet a little bit. They are in 2 packs at Toysrus.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've been on a customizing hiatus as of lately due to other things going on but I plan on continuing with my left over projects (x force vanisher, emma frost, cyber, aoa x force nightcrawler).

I can't take credit for the odin helmet from minimates idea. I got that from another arker here and sorry if I forgot who it was. You only have to cut out the peg inside the helmet and cut off the hair on the helmet with an exacto blade.

solidwii · 10-21-2011, 11:35 AM

I found it.

Not too crazy about Loki, but we are actually getting that figure later on anyway.

oh btw,its good to see some of the MUtants from the tank over here again,sup wii and evil \m/

I cannot wait to see it!

Great work symbiote LOVE those gates need to pick them up myself.

Buyer beware when it comes to customizing. It opens up the toy hunting experience where you'll go down the aisle and see some jabronie figure and say to your self, I could take that head mold and use it to make ________. Its a rather fun hobby and having the tools to fix/improve your figures is satisfying. Sometimes the smallest accessory or mod makes a huge difference to a figure.

On the other hand it can be dangerouse becouse you can buy a figure for a peice and find out it wont work at all :/

LORD MARVEL · 10-21-2011, 03:29 PM

Man- I still get and give such a hook up- for free sometimes even!

The Toyark community has been very welcoming to me- and from me too.
