Thanks everyone. My next custom might be Omega Sentinel, but I won't be making her anytime soon sadly.

Yup.

what did you use? a Dremel?

MrCoffeeAddict · 12-13-2011, 08:56 AM

I used a power drill. Not exactly the best tool but it did its job.

Symbiote · 12-13-2011, 09:15 AM

Power drill works. I've used that before as long as you have the right bit.

Not so cool, but I had to get a picture of this X23 with a fivehead I saw the other day.

Now I know who would play X-23 in a movie Christina Ricci.

Found the Family Dollar figures today. 2 of each except Wolverine, only one of him. No "variants" either. Too bad I only like the x-men cuz all the toys there were buy 1 get one 50%...

wolverine2281 · 12-13-2011, 02:25 PM

just got back from my lunch break. Went to the ghetto to 2 FDs and found the figures also, but like blasekbh only found regulars. This is about the 5th or 6th one I've been to and I'm beginning to think my area did not get the variant cases

This is kinda like the Zemo i want. Do you guys think Taskmaster is a good base? Looking for a figure that has the boots already.

Nice zemo custom

Symbiote · 12-13-2011, 05:14 PM

There are a couple of figures that have those boots. I guess it depends on how buff you want to make him. I'd suggest cyclops since the boots and gloves are already yellow and he should be easy to find. I'd think that taskmaster might be harder to find.

SW cyclops
SW Piledriver
SW Thunderball

I was just looking over my figures and i have a Dark Phoenix Cyclops that i don't really care about. I think he will be great. Now i just need hands.... Anyone have a set of gun holding hands they can send my way? i can make it worth your while!... also if anyone has a holster and gun?

Nevermind on the hands. Swapped them with ultimate Magneto with the gun hands and it makes a difference! check it out!

Dude- hit Marshalls!
I just bought four ROC Joes for $3 a pop- got two great Snake Eyes figs- both with bitchin' hands!
If you cant get good hands by the time you get your custom head, I'll send you a pair!

I say go with either a Steve Rogers buck (the best we've got so far and it has great hands!) or the Captan Marvel buck (if you want a slightly different build for Zemo than Cap).
Either way, Zemo does not wear those buckaneer boots like that custom has.
Zemo pimped out with fur trim on his boots.

You could go with something more modern (and awesome) like Raybot from The Fwoosh did-

bmorr · 12-13-2011, 07:20 PM

that zemo looks incredible!

Jason Abbadon · 12-13-2011, 07:27 PM

That's a six inch, but noting not possible with 3.75". That's what a fig looks like with a smooth paint job and some Dullcoat sprayed on- really smooths things out and makes plastic look like cloth.

Worked wonders on my Hydra goons- I reccomend it for any fig not wearing metallic colors!

Y'know...the Hydra soldier might be a perfect old skool Zemo base!
And I just got another from my roomie for chrismahanakwanzaka!

usagent27 · 12-13-2011, 07:33 PM

Zemo wore those boots on the early Thunderbolts. That's the costume I grew up reading

wolverine2281 · 12-13-2011, 07:36 PM

have an extra Mandarin for trade. Looking for stuff on my list...

Jason Abbadon · 12-13-2011, 07:40 PM

USAgent, Yeah...I hear ya- I grew up with that stuff too!
But you want the Holy Grail like we all secretely do: a Masters oF Evil team!
Some guy has a 10" custom Goliath made from a wresteling figure that made me think of just how possible it is to make that team- we already have the Wercking Crew and Absorbing Man- that leaves mainly Mr. Hyde, Monstone nad the Fixer...if you want to get crazy, add in Tiger Shark and Titiania.

Those guys kicked the Avengers ass.

Also, I have an extra Sif if anyone needs her!

For trade- I need victims for customizing!

That's a 6" Zemo in that pic!
Erik Josten as Goliath Custom Action Figure

It's a great build...but not a great paint job!
