Just what I have been waiting for some of that Sender GI Joe, Marvel mashup with the awesome file card to go along with the sweet background so keep them coming bro as you have the cleanest customs around.......

i appreciate it, Creator!

Hope you and yours have a terrific Thanksgiving.

And thank you for your creations. They inspire me to 'keep creating'!

Yea Thanksgiving will not be the same but so thankful for everything and wish you the best bro. Later on today I will post Misty Knight as she is only a re-paint with a few mods to articulate her neck.

What did you use for that Mantis?

Very nice. To echo Madame Warlock, what's the part usage?

Got a surprise package from Amazon with 2 Omnibus volumes I had forgotten I put on order months ago. Since I've never been well versed in Marvel's larger cosmic universe I ordered the new Thanos omnibus (or new to me at least). Also got Uncanny X-Men vol 2 which contains Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past among others. Nice surprise for the holidays.

I was going to have a couple more for this but I started working on some stuff related to the Punisher van (no spoilers) so that kept me from finishing the other heads I started painting, but this is a good sampling from various sellers that are active, including Fantastic3dCustoms on here. Included some unpainted heads to show how they vary from caster to caster. I believe the one I have labeled as "Dell Rusk" is from avacslab also, but could be SWGeek. It's one of the two...

Painted heads:

On body: (these heads are just loosely placed on for show. I'll fix them up properly later.)

I'm going to end up removing the ponytail, but I wanted to leave it on for now so you all can see how the head looks pre-mod.

Thanks Mordiganne.
Great paint work on the new sculpts btw.

As for my Mantis custom, she's pretty simple- Bultar Swan (head with custom antennae) & Tauriel (body).

(PS...don't tell anyone it's not a true Marvelous JOE :eek:)

Great custom Sender! Kurt Busiek, one of Alex Ross's favorite writers, recently said that the classic Mantis "Celestial Madonna" saga is thee best Avengers story that ever was, in his opinion
