Shout out to Agemo for the work that you put in.

Shout out right back.

Sorry for the wait and even more sorry about the lack of pictures, something weird is going on with my phone but I'll figure it out.

Anyway, here's a list at least without customs are going.

1. Prioritizing my FFH Spider-Man over my Homemade one. Just got further ahead with that one. Going to start with finishing the hair on the unmasked head.

2. Got rare earth Magnets a while back, and plan to but them in each of my future Spidey custom backs so they can "cling". Will test out the weight limits in the future.

3. Found old Male/Female Microman skin color hands for my upcoming DR Strange and Wanda customs.

Sounds good bro, and you say that you are short on money well I can help with that, dude i have tons of fodder maybe what you seek. A fellow customizer cant be greedy and always willing to help. All that I ask is shipping and handling so that we can keep this thread going. Keep up the good work Agemo.....

Just released a special for my 12 Days of MU reviews series(had to do a special due to moving), and it's on some of the worst figures Hasbro has ever made!

Plus some story stuff because it's my channel and I can do that. Anyway, enjoy! https://youtu.be/LHTXmi7R6rk

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

If you can, can you give me an idea of what types of 1:18 scale fodder you have?

Say by figure line, body type, etc? Might need parts but I'm unsure (like maybe a Spider-Gwen? Dig you composite female body types).

Just got mine, pics soon. The more I look at Veronica, the more I swear she looks like a young Lois Lane.

CCC.

Honestly I used to get retro-looking Jimmy Oslen and Archie mixed up. They overlap in time periods and age-passing so it's pretty easy.

That would make a rad custom. For any customizers who'd like to make Olsen there's a special sale with Super 7 gift cards.

It's been awhile since I've touched my projects. Luckily I've decided to encourage myself with breaking a new barrier...sculpting hair. So here's my basic steps.

1. Heat 5-10 individual pellets of thermoplastic.

2. Apply to shaved head area where needed with hand or tool.

3. Use tool to shape plastic, in my case that meant using the heated nozzle of a glue gun so the plastic would stay soft long enough. Keep this in mind

If you are wondering why it looked like a half painted Loki custom, it's because I painted black to see the details better then remolded again.

The great thing about Thermoplastic is that if cooled while molded with wet plant you can "color" it. Might use that as I shape up the final result instead of sealing.

Right now i'm waiting for the glue gun to heat up so I can shape out the rest of the hair, mainly evening out some sides and applying the fringe.

Sculpting is out of my league bro but your start looks good so far Agemo.

Pretty much finished the major details of the fringe, just have to color it a bit and just the strands.

It's weird, Never thought I'd get this far in results.

Agemo · 12-24-2019, 02:55 PM

So right this minute my Tom Holland head sculpt is hardening. In the mean time, here are some pics with my Raimi Spider-Man since it doesn't get that much attention.

Like I mentioned before, the sculpt is fantastic. Haven't displayed it with my actual MCU figures, but if I did I probably geek out on how convincing it looks. Perfect for acting out "Tobey In the MCU" fantasies.

With that said, the Holland figure is no slouch in capturing the likeness, but The legs seem too skinny and if you notice the two don't scale quite right due to being made 7 years apart.

However, despite having more points of articulation, the somewhat bulky sculpt hinders the clearance, where on the Holland figure the clearance is honestly impressive with the results. So the range of poses are just easier and more natural with the Holland figure.

He has two advantages though. His shorter torso makes the "crunching" look more convincing than it actually is. Likewise he can do a larger split.

Also, Bruce Campbell.

Ash: "What's your name kid?"

Peter: "It's the Human Spider."

Ash: "'The Human Spider?' That's it? That's the best you got?"

Peter: "Yep"

Ash: " Oh, that sucks."

Any link to where I can get them? Want to pick up the BP for a kid.

Il Cattivo · 12-24-2019, 07:38 PM

https://www.amazon.com/Avengers-Marv...d-games&sr=1-2

only 1 left in stock

I'd be careful giving those to kids though unless you get them one of these as well.

Shout-out to the review of boot-leg Marvel figures where someone complained about the smell, and the company actually reached out to them in broken English to assure that the plastic is non-toxic.

Felt it's worth pointing out that I just started a WIP with the figure as a base.

Needed some considerable modding, mainly for being very short and skinny next to the others, but definitely has potential.

Sadly, alot of unexpected thing occurred that held back my posting yesterday, but will continue.
