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!

Thanks for the tips guys. I knew Netflix Punisher had the different torso designs, which after cracking my first torso I wish this torso design was standard... But the arms were completely compatible. Had to trim a tiny bit of plastic on the side to get the torso to close up properly but it worked great! There is one ugly spot on the side of the torso but the rest I cracked open cleanly with a xacto. Doesn't matter since the coat hides it anyway.

The Noir figure would have been good but for a couple reasons I wanted to use the Netflix Punisher and Blade from that wave. Noir isn't a super cheap figure to get, I have that same cost on so many figures already including Noir, and I already had the other two figures I was gonna sell off. This way I got a new comic figure that doesn't share any parts with my comic collection. Dont have Paladin or any other figures with his parts. Got Noir, Ghost Rider, and Starlord on that body as is.

The almost straight up Epic Heroes one looks great too. Personally not a huge fan of the Demolition Man one, I liked the armor from the Man-Thing wave Blade, just hated the bare arms. Actually like the head a lot more now with it having a trench coat. Still gonna try to get an Epic Heroes cast for it. I'll share a pic onceni line the jacket red. Just don't have that color on hand.

Don't have any guns for him though, the rifle Punisher had doesn't suit him and that copy was missing the pistol. Though if anyone wants an armless and jacketless Punisher let me know
