Okay, so I've had the 6 inch Legends Hawkeye for a while, and I've noticed that a lot of his good bow poses rely on his double jointed elbows. I don't have the Universe classic Hawkeye for whatever reason(guess it's lack of funds+other figures taking priority), but I do know that he only has single-jointed elbows, so I was wondering:

Can an arm swap happen between the Universe Classic Hawkeye and the Luke Skywalker figure below?

Anybody test that out yet? Is it possible to do without other modification?

Universe · 04-09-2016, 05:22 PM

Really cool shot, Sh002! Had to double-take to get it.

I have that Luke figure but the arms on it are super skinny compared to the MU Hawkeye, and the plastic a little gummy. Aside from that, he's my definitive Luke, because of all the articulation, great poseability.

A few Spidey villain customs I've done. Vulture is from a Vort kit and Silvermane is an Iron Man Mark II body with a head from Angel Forge. I think the original head is supposed to be wearing one of those leather helmets tank drivers wear.

EDIT: I'll have to post a full body pic of the Vulture at another time. For some reason, it keeps turning the pic sideways.

The Universe is expanding.... (pics to follow in next post)

Finally finished up a new batch of figures. Had a lot of fun making these. Finally getting comfortable with my sculpting compound so did a lot more sculpting on these. Went heavy on the villains this time around. Picked up Marvel, Panther and Noir Spidey from the recent wave. BP is currently waiting on new legs so not in the pic. Spidey is just there because I finally painted his head that I forgot to paint before. Anyway...

Nitro - Not sure why but always wanted a Nitro figure. Blowing yourself up is a pretty lame superpower, but I still dig NItro. Sculpting his hair took forever!

Boomerang - Always liked this outfit for the character. I've never read anything Thunderbolts so have no interest in that outfit. I had to make his assarangs smaller so he could still sit if I ever had reason to pose him sitting.

Silver Surfer - FINALLY have an articulated Silver Surfer!! One that actually looks decent on the surf board and can achieve "surfing" like poses.

Sentry - saw this recipe somewhere and thought that was a better stature for the character than what Hasbro gave us, so made this guy. His body went to make Nitro.

Cobalt Man - I'll admit, I had no idea who this character was prior to looking him up recently - found out about him after looking up Marvel's armor wearing characters. Didn't even know he appeared in Civil War (comic). Glad I made him but I hate the body I had to use. Those style figures are too hard to take apart without damaging them so could only do a surface paint on him along with sculpt work. Like the end results though. Nice obscure character to add to the collection.

Vostok - Wasn't planning on making this guy, but he'd leave a hole in the Winter Guard and he's an easy custom.

Speed Demon - One of my favorite customs to date. Had no plans to ever make this guy but the parts just came together spur of the moment and this was the result.

Colossus - the Silvestri "Outback" era is one of my all time favorite X-Men runs. This guy is the first custom for that team but not the last. His sculptwork also took a long time. Making the Reavers will be interesting.

Ronan - Now this is my favorite of the bunch. I've wanted a Ronan figure in my collection for the longest time and finally made one and I'm ecstatic with how he turned out. I did the most sculpt work on this guy. The hammer along took hours to get right.

Mordiganne · 04-09-2016, 07:03 PM

Group shot. Not sure what to do with Noir spidey. Definitely going to become a custom of someone.

Nitro

Sentry

Boomerang

Mordiganne · 04-09-2016, 07:06 PM

Colossus

Ronan - liked this full hood look I found, so went with that.

Speed Demon

Cobalt Man - and the inspiring artwork

Mordiganne · 04-09-2016, 07:15 PM

Lastly a shot of my shelf with my recent customs all on it. Once this fills up I'll bag and box what I can and start fresh. Still room for another batch, or two, of characters. Sorry these pics are kind of crappy. Cell phone pics again.

Il Cattivo · 04-09-2016, 07:20 PM

thats got to be the best ronan custom I've seen.

Universe · 04-09-2016, 07:26 PM

These are great, Mordiganne! I like that Sentry on a Herc buck and great molding and paint work.

I've had a Silvermane custom planned for a while now but couldn't think of what to do for the head. That's a perfect idea. I'll have to track down one of those.

Can you give me a thickness comparison? Maybe I could swap the lower arms to get the joint...

They'd probably look a little long, but he would be posed with his bow anyway

Dreadnox · 04-09-2016, 09:25 PM

Grabbed these two at my local TRU,,,

Any other figures with double jointed elbows that would work?
