Happy Friday folks! Good hunting to everyone still looking for the Spidey figs; I've seen them at several Targets here in the Nor Cal Sacramento/Roseville area now, so distro is definitely picking up to retailers.

Thanks man... he's built on the new Spider-Man 2099 figure as a base. As soon as I saw the early pics of 2099, I knew I was going to redo my Paul Smith Cyke on that nice new shiny blue buck. =)

still available if anyone needs a set for $140

Ewww Weee! That Cyclops is sharp. I might have to steal that idea. Is the head from the Sentinel wave or box set?

*Nevermind has to be the box set one.

Sprayed down spidey with some dullcote and he looks muuuuch better. I want to add some black wash but I'm scared of paints >_<

Any pics of that? It sounds like a great idea, as Spidey is pretty damn shiny out of the box (especially his red sections). It'd be cool to take the sheen on him down a few notches.

I can try, but my camera phone is super crappy and probably won't show the difference. I'll post one up in a bit

Edit: Need to hit a couple of more spots, but mostly got what I wanted out of it. Might be too flat for some, but I like it

God damn this forum sold all my Legends off more than a year ago , Today I bought Spiderman from the Amazing Spidey 2 line and Cap from the Winter Soldier line and now i come in here and i want EVERYTHING!

That looks awesome... even despite the image quality I can see a big difference. Time to bust out my can of dullcote. =) Thanks for the pic!

No problem. It's much more noticeable in person. Really gives it a hand painted look

Hi guys! Long time ML collector who just back into the fold properly. Love all the photos of people's customs and collections, and have myself just bought a nice pine display cabinet for the favourites.

Still playing with which figures to display, and am awaiting a custom dio and the Avengers Odin wave 'til it's at a more presentable stage, but thought it'd be a nice intro for me on the forums!

DESTRO · 03-07-2015, 12:06 PM

Love both of these waves!

advocatepinoy · 03-07-2015, 01:03 PM

Love the photoset, man!

Welcome. Nice connection and display. Your Psylocke and Rogue look great!

Best Thor yet.

ultraman zoffy · 03-07-2015, 09:51 PM

Public Service Announcement: be careful when posing out your Spidey 2099 figures (this may also apply to regular Spidey, but I'm guessing the shiny plastic on 2099 is the culprit). The hips could be very brittle, and crack right off when you're manipulating them. The thigh cracked right off on my 2099 based Cyclops, and I could see the 2-piece hip coming apart at the seam. I was able to repair mine, but it is pretty alarming...

TheBlueMarvel · 03-07-2015, 11:33 PM

@ultraman zoffy

Based on the transverse view you've offered, the peg or column seems to be fused with the outer wall of the well into which it fits. I'm no custom maker, so take my observation with a grain of salt...

Whatever the case, brittle plastic or poorly manufactured joints, I'll note your cautionary advice when posing up my Spidey 2099.

Thanks for sharing and I'm sorry to see such a cool custom torn asunder. Paul Smith was one of my favorite artists as a kid. His work on the Angel/Callisto/Morlocks story ark (among many others) is an important part of the nostalgia I hold for the X-men circa the 1980's... Great illustrator! Great stories! Great custom!

GodParticle · 03-08-2015, 01:19 AM

I'm wanting to try my hand at making a custom mysterio. I have a spiderman origins mysterio and was thinking of trying to combine the cape/neck scarf/boots/hands onto a machine man body and paint him a shade of green. Think that might work?

Thanks man! Psylocke's a pride and joy custom so I like to put her front and centre. I'm also a big fan of Rogue showing off a stolen power, so her bone claws really make her look that extra bit cooler.

Finally added the new ML figures in this Comic Book Cover Re-make!

Here's how I made the whole shot and eliminate the stands manually:
