Kylactus, your customs are awesome, but before Ukmu wakes up, download a photobucket app or anything you can post pics on; it really does show off all the beauty you put into your customs!!

K Dub I appreciate your comments; means a lot coming from you, your giant Dio is the best presentation I have ever seen for a collection.

[kylactus]

we can all have a fight for thumbs V.S photobucket it'll be just like soft goods V.s Rigid capes.

[kylactus]

Here's a couple more, since were all sharing.....

[kylactus]

And....

[Kamatayan]

I'm loving everyone's customs. It's a damn shame what Hasbro is doing to the line nowadays.

[kylactus]

And here is what forge will look like in a movie, if Danny trejo plays him.

[kylactus]

Like everyone else in the world, I made an avengers movie hulk beast, and this is a Kree armor iron man, I was bord and needed painting practice.

[Universe]

That Forge and Hulkpool are super cool!

If you have access to a Games Workshop or any place that sell the citadel paints go there and get an acceptable skin tone that is a LAYER. Citadel makes bases, layers, shades and tons of other stuff too, but I think you should get a layer since your current skin tone would make a fine base. Layers are thinner and not fully opaque which will help mask your base, but still highlight the new skin tone you choose. I'm pretty sure the layer I use most often for skin is called Cadian Fleshtone, but it is a little too red. They have another one called Kislev that I think looks better, but I have never used it.

Thanks Kdub! I'll have to stop by my local games workshop. I did buy some citadel sealant a while back and it worked pretty well (I know now that most customs in this scale don't even need a sealant).

The Northstar is great even though it's on my least favorite buck. The extra heads were nice.

Thanks for the pics universe! That pisses me off that they retooled Chameleon and made him worse.... I work in quality review and it really is frustrating to see when someone takes something, tries to reinvent the wheel and they just make it worse.

Nice hellfire club goons. I need that emma soon.

[Universe]

Thanks for the comments, gentleman.
Kernel, yeah it's eating at me; just glad that some of these upcoming waves have some redeemable old-buck figures; I'm still very excited for Spiderman Noir.

[Universe]

I thought this might work for a Crossbones kitbash: Venom Snake by Revoltech mini

[kylactus]

that is awesome^ did you have to modify anything to make the head fit?

[Universe]

Thank you; I really dig the Revolmini line; can't wait for Ultron to be shown with paint on.
I put a little putty inside the head; the peg is pretty skinny but sticks to the putty nicely for posing.

[kylactus]

cool, so you don't have to cut anything to make it fit.

[Universe]

No sir, straight head swap

Blinkin' heck is the next set not on pre-order yet? I figure I could save my pennies if it's a month or two out, but I'd really like to lock in ASAP.

Why does everyone hate the Crossbones? I think he's a great figure, all the articulation, accessories, and a great stab vest thing.

Thanks guys;
Hasbro's Crossbone release is a good figure; nothing wrong with it at all; but the comics portray him as this jacked up muscle dude and I like that look.

I never sleep.... I always watching.

[ukmu]

The major issue I have with thumbs is I can't zoom in on them to really see details.

Nice stuff though everyone. Think I am gonna order that underwhelming Chameleon.

That CrossBones is so happening here!!! He wasn't a bad figure just wasn't great. A lot of people swapped his as to make them bigger and that was a good look. But that head swap is the business!!! I may put his vest on it though. Cheers for making me HAVE to put yet another figure in my list of stuff I didn't even know that I needed to upgrade.

Really good advice K Dub!
