Rage will be good for his head and parts. The body sucks. It'll go into a fodder bag along with every other new figure they've made in the new scaled down artic style. The only ones I haven't remade are blue 90's Beast (kind of like Beast as is) and Armored Daredevil because I made a custom of him anyway.

Gamora looks like a dollar store knock off. The head isn't even useful. Shame.

Do like Living Laser though. Translucent for the win!

Anyone know how long before I can link to photobucket for pictures? New members can't link, but doesn't say for how long. Just wondering for my next round of MU customs to post. Thanks!

Thanks. I still have most of them. My favorites were the broken Sentinel pieces. They look great with MU X-Men.

In photobucket, over the top left corner in Library you get a drop down menu. Select share. It will give you 4 links. Select the bottom one and paste it in your message. Always worked for me.

i think the only thing about the baghead spidey is the fact the hair colour was not painted on,it actually looks good when painted.

I've seen 'Bombastic' Spidey going for a hundred bucks.

Thanks LordMudd. I know how to do it, I'm just not allowed to do it. It's a forum restriction. I'm just wondering how long it's in effect for because it doesn't say.

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.

Not really into customs but liking that Hydro man, looks easy enough to do too

Sounds like something implemented to help fight those waves of spam we were getting. Since I hadn't heard about it before, maybe it was fairly recent.

Interesting because I started posting right away with no problem.

[Mordiganne]

Thanks guys. It'll be a few before my next batch are done anyway, so will just wait and see I suppose. :-/

Teaser Gambit pic below. Spiderman there is the bane of my existence right now. I wasn't happy with the first set of costume web lines so I had to remove them completely and need to redo them. Annoying. (I had to scrub the damn things off actually - always seal between any major custom mods!!! Trust me, it works wonders. I had the figure under running water while scrubbing with a kitchen scrub pad, one of those green ones. Sealing it saved the overall costume paint that I'd already put on while scrubbing loose the lines.) The legs in the background are for Titania.

Hydro Man was very easy to do, especially if you're not anal about it like I am. Other than the arms and legs he's a very straight forward repaint. For the arms I did a dark base coat with gradual shading and a light gray for the "flowing water" look. Just do his jean colors how ever you prefer and done. If you don't have the parts both Sandman and Hyperion are under $10 on Amazon.

Welcome Mordiganne!!!

Just follow Lord Kurds PhotoBucket tips if you want to post larger pics as opposed to small thumbnails.

As I understand it, you need to post at least once before adding links. As Ninjister had said it is, I believe anyway, to help stop spammers.

Nice stuff!!!!! I like pretty much really love all of them!

Rage for me. Living Laser is a new MUST have. I have HATED that Gamora since seeing that slide. Horrible outfit selection.

Works for me. Don't have much use for serious issues in my escapism.

[Mordiganne]

Yeah still won't let me post the image links, just tried with some display pics I have.

Is there a mod I can contact to get them to lift the restriction? I get why it's in place, but they could at least state how long before a new member can post links. Is it a certain number of posts? Do you have to wait like two weeks from when you first sign up? Any info would be appreciated.

In the meantime here's some really, really old display images...

That figure does look like a bad custom though.

Haha a variant figure of her would have been cool to have ;P

Not really sure we needed the new tooling for armored Spidey! Tool Kingpin!!!!!!! Ok what can I make out of Living Lightning? Love the look of the figure, but he's almost too Z list for me.

[Captain Nash]

That's Living Lazor not Living Lightening. And to me he's the highlight of the wave since Gamora looks like crap. I will likely pick up both though.

And yes, tool Kingpin! I will buy two!

[snake5289]

I'll definitely get armored Spidey but the others are an easy pass.

[MUfan97]

Got my shelves dusted off again and decided some pics were necessary.

See! It's so Z List I got his name wrong! And yes I'll but two Fisk as well! See Hasbro that's 4 Kingpins. Let's go!!

I also want a Living Lightening, so either one would have been okay.

I think I'll buy THREE Kingpins (though I can't imagine why I'd need any more besides one to keep as is and one to make Shadow King's physical body out of)> that's FIVE now hasbro! We will kickstart this for you!

According to a member at Marvelousnews, two Guardians of the Galaxy comic packs were found in his store's computers:

Gamora and Star-lord
Rocket Raccoon and Groot

Maybe this Star-Lord, if it's true, will be the one you want. I for one hope this is Space-Bikini Gamora, so folks will stop complainin!
