Marvel Universe Daken (current costume)
 

This is my first custom fig (and I'm now thinking it won't be my last), and I'm pretty happy with my effort. Daken is without a doubt my favorite Marvel character, so without any sight of him possibly showing up in the future from Hasbro, it was a no brainer that I'd try make him. Plus, Guardian was already a near perfect start...

Simply stripped Guardian's paint (only half done in pic), and then painted his body all black. I was ready to paint him brown, but the black actually looked like the right colour regardless, and then followed up with a dry wash of dark brown. Did only one coat of yellow on his mask and made his eyes white. I honestly don't know if Daken is supposed to be wearing slippers or what, but on his feet I added a touch of the yellow anyway. May not be accurate but I think it works.

I snipped and filed some hairclips to make the claws, and glued them to some cut off bits of plastic from ROC Storm Shadow's gauntlets.

Lastly, got some white/grey ribbon and fashioned his wraps. Some of the ribbon frayed, but honestly, kinda think it works.

And here we are, the finished product. I painted the stand black, and I still plan on putting his name on there somewhere.

Only thing I don't like is how the glue kinda made his gloves and hands clumpy. Other than that, like I said, I am happy with it!

Looks pretty good..although I have never been a fan of adding cloth accessories (or any other material that sticks out like a sore thumb) to plastic figures.

I need Guardian too.... Damn you! lolol

I just completed mine this past weekend haven't took any pics yet. I went with string to make that bandage type of look. And instead of the gold I went with white. I used power fist for the base figure. I like metal claw look. I went the lazy route and cut the middle claw out of one of wolvies figures. Can't believe you did it with Guardian. People are killing to get that figure. Good Job!!
