Scroll down for the new stuff.

Two are solely my own, two are purchased ones that I have tweaked.

Black Knight was made using a Green Goblin arms and legs, the torso and waist from Cyclops, the gloves are from VvsV Destro, the boots are from a POTC figure. The head was comic pack Breaker.

Kang was made from Spiderman torso, with alot of sculpey, Mole Man arms with 25th Destro gloves, the waist piece was from Human Torch, and the legs were Namor with feet from a WWE BNB figure. The harness is from the Secret Wars Kang figure, the head is VvsV Slash with sculpey helmet.
Image

I bought this Jean Grey figure because I really liked the sculpting and paint the original maker did. When I got her, I was disappointed to see some of the articulation was removed. So I fixed that and repainted with a semi gloss. The head was a largely untouched Sue Storm head with some minor sculpey work. I added a lot more. I really like the way the hair sweeps. It looks almost Kirby-esque.
Image

I never really liked my Avalanche figure. I purchased this one and did some slight clean ups on it. The boots and gloves were originally more clumpy so I smoothed them out. I switched out the legs with my original one. I needed the Magneto legs for a different custom.

Great batch. Black Knight is my favorite- mainly because a custom of him is seldom seen.

It's just sculpey. I tried really hard to make a removable helmet for him using a Spytroops helmet but it just wouldn't work.

Does Trigate have a Black Knight head?

Because... I'd be on that! (ETA- just saw the head... yeah.. I might have to get that.)

Great stuff all around, but I really dig Black Knight -- I've been trying to figure out a recipe for him, and it never occured to me to use Gobby (because I'm stupid.) -- Consider it stolen.

And the painting on his chest emblem is just fantastic - great work!

Awesome, every one!

I had a Black knight wip using those arms and legs before I quit making SHS customs. You may have just given me inspiration to go dig him out and finish him.

Thanks!

black knight is awesome.. the only thing is his helmets a little big.The others are good too but the knight is in the spotlight.
Keep up the great SHS stuff.

Post subject:  New Marvel Universe/MLS customs- Gravity! Sunspot! IM unmask

Gravity was made from a mix of WWE BnB parts, a VvsV Slice head with a JvsC Frostbite face. The goggles are sculpted.

Image

Sunspot was made from a MLS Spiderman with a X-wing Luke head and flames from MLS Human Torch.

Image

Captain Britain got his own thread but I thought I'd include him here.

Image
Image

Finally was a simple job. Ironman unmasked was made using a Biggs Darklighter head.

That Biggs head is dead on for Tony. Great work on all of these, and extra points for including reference pix since I would have never know who Gravity was. ;)

Gravity has a suitcase, not sure why, but that cracks me up.
