Quasar - my boy. Been looking forward to doing this one for a long time. I'm real happy with him, but I'm looking for a better head for him. Wendell is no Steve.

Quasar's cape! W0W, you knocked that one out of the park

Great work sir,love your customs!!

Wow, amazing. That Quasar is top notch! I dare Hasbro to do better!

O.M.G. QUASAR! Best I've ever seen!

wow nice work, and for quaser WOW HOLYSNIT THATS HOW U DO A CUSTOM-.

My friend, that kicks crazy CRAZY ass!
As for a better head, if you paint Renegades Duke's hair that yellow of the Steve Rogers' hair, he'll be perfect for Wendell's Annihilators look.
That's what I ahve set aside for my own build anyway.

Again, a great job on that!
I...kinda loathe that costume though.
Actually, It's not that- it's that whoever drew that outffit first, i guess, had no idea what the Quantum Bands looked like and so made dippy lamp bulbs all over his arms and legs- I have cheap dollar store push-lights in my apartment that look just like those too.


Still, man- you really knocked this outta the park!
And usually your stuff sucks too...:p

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. I'm really happy with them, but there's still some work to be done. But folks' enthusiasm is encouraging. Thanks bros.

I feel you on the costume. Half of me still thinks I'm going to be making scrawnier, almost-a-mullet quasar just because I love him so damn much. Old school Q-bands were much better. But I'm a sucker for a current comic accurate shelf display--hence captain marvel and this suit--so here I am.

As for the head I'm thinking of going the road of his longer hair that he sported back in his hey day up until he died in Annihilation. Maybe not wildly comic accurate, but spiritually correct. ha.

I ordered a head from our own DarthOnyx that should fit the bill as a compromise between old Q and new Q. Looking forward to it.

AWESOME JOB! I've been dying to get a quasar and capt. marvel figure like these, you did a great job. Would love to add to my Cosmic shelf

:D Thanks bud. Cosmic shelves are where it's at.

Master of Magnetism needed an upgrade (obviously).
Here's a new magneto for the shelf.
Not really sure if it counts as a custom per se. It's a real easy fix CP Daredevil and CP Mags crossover.

That magneto is fantastic. I dream of the day when I'll actually have my favorite xmen villain that isn't blue or barrel stomached. Even when I was MU noob, I thought magneto shouldn't be shorter than spider man

nice upgrade! i like ho you sculptd the boots aswell, you got mad sculpting skill my bro.

very nice magneto. I like the shading too.

I can't wait to see how that Quasar head swap looks when you get that onyx head in. Very cool, the cape is awesome!!!!

Awesome I envy your skill

Great work ! I see you're from ATL. I'm originally from Macon.

The long-awaited Quasar head swap. Much better.

Took a tip from 1andonly5711 on this hawkeye; liked the look a lot. I swapped out the Rogers torso for a Doc Strange the the "Clint Barton wearing a T-shirt" look.

I thought Loki needed a serious upgrade.

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...zzleG/loki.jpg

So I went with that Marvel Legends look.
Got lazy: no action pose.

Started reading Avengers Academy for whatever reason and felt that I really really had to have Hank Pym's new costume on my shelf.

Scrapped a Scarlet Spider and a Classic Havok here.

I wish Red Goliaths were easier to come by so I could make a big one!

Giant-Man is winning. Should find a maskless face for him ;)

Awesome work bro...What did you use for loki's fur...?

Green stuff. He's all Loki and green stuff with Doc Strange's cloth thing.
