Here's an example, after his third DUI tony stark was a man with few options, spend the next five years on the raft, or give up some surplus equipment to shield. Now with his new iron agents, nick fury is ready to bring the fight to hydra.... But what nick doesn't know is that hydra has a trick up there sleeve, iron bob.

[kylactus]

Here's another example.

Iron man-functional armor

After following aim agents to a long abandoned stark weapons facility, iron man was ambushed, and nearly destroyed. Now locked down in a basement lab tony stark must cobble together enough functional armor and weaponry to put up a fight when aim knocks the door down!

[kylactus]

The best part is the wraith from gi joe25th looks like tony stark with the face shield up.

[3233rafael]

Who's gonna win??? The suspense is killing me...

[jedirulz123]

The suspense of no one having actually entered a custom yet?
I'll upload mine and my backstory tomorrow

[3233rafael]

Everybody's being mysteriously quiet for this one.

Can it be a custom we've already made or does it have to be a new one?

[Kernel]

I've got something cooking. I'll post up as soon as I can. Thanks for the contest kylactus.

as long as it fits the parameters, I don't think it matters when you made it.

[kylactus]

Here's a better shot of the booty.

[kylactus]

And if this contest goes well I'm thinking sometime around Halloween we can do a custom marvel horror theme contest with these as the prize. I've sold them three times now on ebay and every time the sale fell through, it's driving me mad!

What??? Those are awesome!

[kylactus]

yeah, there the only selects I ever bothered to get, but I'm on a 1984 secret wars kick right now. and I think they'd be appropriate Halloween swag. plus I've always loved the marvel Horror stories (tomb of Dracula, werewolf by night, marvel Zombies, Tales or suspense, ect). and there is a lot of original Marvel Horror stuff that just don't get the love it deserves.

A checkered past made finding a job impossible for Marvin Macy, so he went back to what got him there in the first place, crime.

Starting out penniless he only pick-pocketed those he felt "Could Afford It" but that soon led to more dangerous, bigger Jobs.



Years past and the fact that the law hadn't caught up to Macy meant he had developed a name for himself in seedier circles, but as far as Macy was concerned he no longer existed he was merely a shadow.



There was no job that he couldn't pull off and he has still yet to turn away a customer.



So I hope you enjoyed the idea. I really wish more Goons and Crooks were created in our scale.
I used an Bucky Buck, human torch arms and legs, and a Black Panther Head.

Here are some close ups from my little where's Waldo / Find The Shadow

[Pilkster]

Love the custom and love the back story too. Very good sir I must say.
