Death Ninja: Turning a 6" figure into a 5" figure is easy right? I
mean, Ken seems to do it all the time! The Mulder
figure made into a 5" Matt Murdock looked great!
Pshah! ...Yes well, Death Ninja was a Batman Scarecrow
figure, which I had to use to justify purchasing him
for his pitchfork. It was kind of hard work getting
him into scale, but fortunately, as he's an undead
ninja he can look a bit raggedy so my lack of skill
doesn't show up too bad. The apron hampers movement of
the legs a bit unfortunately. The head is from a
Hobgoblin figure, and the sword from a Xena I believe.
Jim Sokolowski: Ski was one I've had hanging around
for a while. His head was a Blaze figure, body from
Deadpool and gun and holster from a cheap police
figure. I'm not sure I'm happy with the result. One
arm is bulkier than the other, but I think that's
because the Deapool figure has a renoveable left hand.
Still it's noticeable and it buggeth me. The body
might be too bulky to be Ski. He never wore a uniform
quite like this, but I just wanted a little SHIELD
task force.
Stacey Dolan: This Stacey is slightly more in scale
with the Dan Ketch figure I customised than the last
Stacey I made. She was made from a Silver Sable figure
with Black Widow hair, gun and holster from some cheap
Police figures Domino right hand and Rogue left hand.
I'm not too keen on how she turned out, I thinking the
painting on my Ski and Stace figures is probably the
worst I've done. They both carry the same gun for the
sake of uniformity. Again, it's not based on any
particular uniform that she's ever worn. I had hoped
that my Michael Badilino figure in uniform would be
finished in time, but unfortunately not. Sigh. I had
such high hopes for this Con. As an addendum, I just
couldn't seem to get a decent pic of Stacy. Perhaps
someone could help me out with some tips? I had a
whole other batch of customs I'd intended to enter
into this Con, but due to the poor quality of the pics
I've had to leave them for another day.
Pyre: Repainted Dark Phoenix. Meh. Bit dull. A member
of Hydra's Department of Occult Armaments. I have her
teamamte Innards half finished knocking around. I see
DOA as kind of a Nazi version of the BPRD.
Hannibal King: Has been incomplete for a long time due
to an issue with his cloak. However, lessons were
learned and he's finished. I rather like the end
result. His body is a Dormammu, his cloak from a
Professor Quirrel, his head a Punisher, his ponytail
came from a Bloodstorm, the bats from Morbius figures
and the rats from the (Awesome) Spawn alley playset.
Stygian Demon: Just a Havok figure with the head from
a Professor Quirrel figure and hands from a Hercules
Minotaur. This one's been knocking around for a while
and I had to force myself to finish it. I'm
under-whelmed by the result.
Ghost Rider: Just thought GR could do with a bit of
work. Used the figure which came with the cycle.
Sculpted the flames to try and make them more 3D, used
the chain from one of the GRs to make a removeable
chain, as well as gluing a couple of chains and Chap
Mei axe handles together to simulate the magical, erm, growing-ness of
the chain. The bike had flames sculpted on, to replace the absurdly
stupid looking drawings of flames that it came with. I'm not sure about the result, but hey anything's better than how it looked before. I removed many of the daft glow in the dark details, which looked silly.
The Medallion of Power gas cap came from a Blaze bike's headlight.
I think my GR and bike look way better now I've got
rid of the glow in the dark and neon details.
John Blaze: The Blaze figure I've already shown, it's
just a Blaze with the coat from a Gambit figure so he
can sit on the bike really. The bike had flames
sculpted on, and was repainted that's it really.
