Really want a Blade and since Epic Heroes was cancelled but the blade we got doesn't quite do it for me was gonna try my first ML custom. Figured I'd get that cast of the Epic Heroes head and paint it. Only needs 4 paint colors and I got 2 already.

Just curious before I take the plunge.

Since the torso for the Punisher is a unique, MCU sculpt, it may cause problems if you try to switch the arms to the standard Legends Blade. The disc at their base might not slot in properly to the new body. I haven't tried it myself though, so I honestly couldn't tell you.

Cracking torsos is always a risky proposition, especially with Legends. It's not something I have been able to do reliably without occasionally ruining the canvas, so now I just kit bash the hell out of figures when I customize instead. If it can't be done with hot water and paints, I'm not interested.

That said, I've done a number of Blade customs over the years. My favorite one this far was my most recent one, using the Spider-Man Noir figure and the parts and attachments from the new Blade. That figure features pretty good articulation, as well as a set of hands that works great with both swords and guns. I also had a lot of fun using the Demolition Man (Scourge) figure with a different custom. I think it works well for an armored version of Blade.

I've also seen people do decent customs of Blade using just the Netflix Punisher's body on it's own, so that could also save you the trouble of trying to crack a torso if you're okay with that look.

Not sure if that helps at all, but I hope it does. Good luck!
