4 out of 5, although I have already done customs of 2.

Got the Astro/Falcon 2 pack today. The comic was a disappointment. Also lined up my Indians.

CCC.

Machine man and iron man are actually pretty cool, so glad foster Thor and IM and falcap have some torso articulation. Well I criticize hasbro quite a bit so I'll have to give them credit where credit is due, these new 2 packs are a step in the right direction.

Is anyone else considering getting that BAF onslaught for their MU collection? It's annoying that some of the comics in the new 2 packs have a ton of 6" ads and they changed the comics from the covers.

I've considered getting it when I saw the entire wave at walmart the other day but decided to pass as I didn't wanna get stuck again with figures I don't even collect (marvel legends). did it with the hulkbuster, not making that same mistake again.

MUfan97 · 02-27-2016, 11:23 PM

I personally don't care about the Onslaught BAF. Not that big of an X-men fan to begin with(trying the 90's series on Hulu, but the first two episodes are kinda boring, I must say. I DID watch Wolverine and the X-men, though), and the BAF doesn't impress me beyond the Red Skull head. Really, the Spider-man waves seem to be the only 6 inch Legends I can genuinely say make me want to collect the whole wave.

Btw, I applaud everyone who can paint 3 3/4 inch eyeballs correctly. It took me an hour to do even a halfway decent job, so you have my full respect in that regard.

snake5289 · 02-28-2016, 01:08 AM

^^ Wolverine and the X-Men was soooo good. I hate that they didn't give it a proper ending.

Anyway since my hype for Daredevil season 2 probably couldn't get any higher (I'm looking forward to it more than any of the movies coming out this year) I decided to redo the one I made after I saw season 1. I was never really happy with how it turned out because the paint was so thick it took out most of the details. I hate using bright colors.

Still using an Injustice Nightwing I swapped the upper legs with Injustice Superman and fashioned up a new belt and holster. The head is the same Injustice Batman from my last one but I had to redo the horns so I cut the ears of a DCIH Batman. And you probably can't really see it but there are some bright red dots over maroonish eyes. Tried to give him some of those cool shiny/glowy eyes from the newest trailer.

Please try to ignore some of the splotchyness around the holster. Like I said that red paint is a bitch with a capital B and it could use a bit of a touch-up but I'm too tired to do it tonight. This took me a good while to finish.

Talisman, daughter of Shaman. Later in the series when they reformed Beta Flight that was the uniform.

1/18 scale eyeballs are easy after painting over 2,000 pairs of 30mm Warhammer eyeballs.

It's the stand from the Spider-Man Classics Daredevil that came out way back in the day. They were pretty much the grandpappy of the ML line.

Mordiganne · 02-28-2016, 02:14 PM

Hey guys, new poster here but I've been lurking this thread for a while. Thought I'd post some of my customs for you all to check out.

First off Deathlok, Valkyrie, Cyke, Abomination and Ares are the only untouched Hasbro figs. They were new arrivals a couple weeks ago which is why they are in the pic. Now for the customs...

Daredevil - never liked the armor bits on that outfit so I just left them off. I believe the base fig was Steve Rogers with a regular DD head
Antman - added antennas (paperclip with sculpted ends) and particle container
Moon Knight - mix of DD & Steve Rogers with Cloak head and cape
Beast - gray repaint
Thunderstike - hasbro TS head, jacket, belt, lower legs and mace; the rest is a Gladiator body with sculpted on disks
Vision - I have the regular Vision but hated the puny buck, so made this using Mysterio with the Chameleon head (looks kinda bland/robotic - will replace this with the head from the new vision coming out since Chamy lacks a nose

. His jewel was sculpted on and I need to redo his mid section. The sculpt work there was one of my first attempts. Need to fix that up.
Hydro Man - Hyperion head Sandman body
Sandman - Mix of regular (right arm, torso, & upper right leg) and sand (head, lower left arm, lower right leg, entire left leg) to give him a "powering up" efffect
Shocker - repaint and sculpted vibro gloves
Baron Zemo - painted over the over done purple wash
Omega Red - silvered over the white and whited over the blue shading on his arms and face
Black Cat - FF Sue Storm with Hasbro Black Cat head; sculpted fur. She's getting redone as the buck is too short for the character. Going to redo on the Aurora buck when I get another

My customs are pretty heavily modified - lots of trimming, sanding and sealing during the process - so they can be posed without the paint chipping. Some were completely disassembled (like Beast) but I only take them completely apart now if I need to swap parts. It's a huge PITA taking them apart just to paint a joint since putting them pack together is rarely worth the effort it takes. Those pins are beyond difficult to get back in at this scale. So, that's it for this round. Working on more characters (Campbell Mary Jane; Silver Sable; Luke Cage; Madame Viper; Maverick; Gambit; Spidey; Titania; Bastion... ) that I'll post once the entire group is done.

Hoping these load properly.

Rage looks like he might be able to provide a decent base.

I want Armored Spider-Man and Gamora. I know in the game Contest of Champions Gamora wears that costume and she kicks ass with her sword.

After AoU, it's understandable.

This is her armored look from the first half of GotG vol 3. Personally I don't care for it because the colors are a huge departure from her normal scheme and it just feels out of character for her to need armor, also because vol 3 was a major letdown compared to vol 2. In one of Starlin's recent Infinity books the colors are changed to be black and green and it does look much better that way.

More Vision for me

Zend · 02-28-2016, 07:37 PM

Still makes more sense than the space bikini and cape combo. Unless all you care about is revealing clothing.

That figure does look like a bad custom though.
