As stated before if anyone finds the witch I will buy if off them or I can see what they want to trade.

The new SW looks like a dead ringer for Sky from AOS. is her head ball jointed? if so I'd say pop it off, throw it on one of the new Joe female bodies and get a pretty good tactical agent Sky.

looks like she does have the ball jointed neck.

This body maybe for her?

I have never been to that TRU Law. I normally actively avoid Bradford like the plague!!!! Always feels like I am about to be mugged when I go there. I will give it a go when May rolls around.

You do right UKMU, I went Friday teatime when it was still light and wasn't too bad stayed on the main roads, but I had to go back Saturday and wrongly thought I'd take the scenic route back to Halifax, oh my what an experience, it certainly opened up my 9yr old daughters eyes and I had to explain a few things, ha

ukmu · 04-26-2015, 12:33 PM

use some S.H.I.E.L.D. decals that are easily made and BAM...nice little AoS Sky custom.

here is a link on how to make your own

This guy is about as much as a tax audit though. You can just take an image to your local print shop (bigger corporate places may or may not do it because of licensing issues, just don't tell them it is Marvel)and use a LASER PRINTER so it does not loose detail. You need high resolution pics which I believe can be found through Google. Also, you need WATERSLIDE PAPER from eBay to print on to. Just take image and paper, I am sure they can scan and reduce if you only have a copy of it, I don't know. I cheated and had someone else make them for me. That option seemed to work quite well.

samsson37 · 04-26-2015, 12:45 PM

Hey UKMU, I know you said that you had used the Shanna head on the Physlocke body, I just got my parts to make her. Did you dremel the head more or shave down the peg cause her neck is super long !!!
I wanted to change mine up a bit, instead of the green belt holsters I'm going with the brown Indiana Jones holster that way she can have a whip on her hip also...

ukmu · 04-26-2015, 12:55 PM

I am more savage than finesse. I would rather use dynamite than a dremmel. I just grabbed scissors and lobbed off the ball on the top of the post. The remaining neck is just big enough to sit quite firmly in the head hole. Nice length as well....
I will put some pics up tomorrow.

You could dremmel out the head or shave down the neck and re-carve the ball post.... either of those ways are proper. I am a guerrilla customization type of guy. If it doesn't fit, you're not pushing hard enough!!

samsson37 · 04-26-2015, 01:16 PM

LOL I THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT !!!!!!!!!!!
But I'm sending it to KDub for the paint job, don't want to make anything harder.

Oh my. That figure would nice for several different characters, but I sure as shit don't want to pay eBay prices for it.

Recarving the ball post sounds painful! I need to get a dremmel so I can just shave the ball post

Also love those hydra / shield stickers. I picked up an air raid red skull for $5 last night at Ross (wish they had more so I could maybe paint the head green for some zombies. For some reason I thought herr schmidts knees just had swivels. I was pleasantly surprised by the WS red skull, even the gimmick is kinda cool.

Jay West · 04-26-2015, 06:40 PM

Does any one sell Hydra and SHIELD stickers? I'm not crafty enough to make my own. I've gotten several Cobra and Joe stickers through Cobra Stickers, but they don't have Marvel stuff.

Jay West · 04-26-2015, 06:41 PM

UKMU I've got that Razor Ramone coming from ebay. Hopefully he works for Bakshi.

Iceman · 04-26-2015, 09:52 PM

Got this Professor X from Symbiote a while ago.

Decided to swap out the lower arm so he could have bare arms. Had to get the dremel out to make those hands fit on Gen. Hawk's lower arm since I didn't like his gloves and their peg was a bit long.

Also ground down a bit of the Adam's apple so his head could move forward.

And dug out my minimates Cerebro helmet so he can wear it.

Only thing left is maybe sand his inner things so he can close he legs together and not push back on the hover chair.

ukmu · 04-26-2015, 10:29 PM

He is ready for Savageland now! Great use of a cheap Chinabay Joe WildBill figure and what a way to use an extra head from Xavier if you need a suit for Tony, Norman, Coulson or whoever! Looks brilliant with the short sleeves. That made a huge difference with such a little swap. Great figure Iceman!!!!!

I have looked and looked and looked and looked for HYDRA stickers. Wrote to EVERYONE who makes Joe stickers...and the answer is no. Even wrote a dozen or more random sticker people on eBay about it.

Also, those are DECALS not stickers. I did however take them to the printers and and he scanned them and printed on sticker paper. Just have to put clear sticky tape over it before you cut it to size.

Jay, you don't have to be crafty at all to have them made.... just go to a print shop. Tell them what you want (you would most likely have to supply the decal paper -waterside paper- from ebay) That is whole point, someone else can do it for you!!

That's not 3.75 size is it? I saw her in the 2 pack and totally passed on it, she looked so small.
