It's about time I took a picture of my beloved SHS Xmen, finally complete, thanks to Don aka Bro Geetar.

You might notice that I have a picture of the actual X-men #1 cover printed on a tarpaulin banner. I like it that way coz it will last for a loonggg time as compared to printing it on paper.

I tried to match the actual positions and poses of the X-men team members to match Jim Lee's rendition, I just hope I did well.

Mags getting a little cocky beside Cyke, Logan, and Bobby...

Image

Ororo, Warren, Remy, Piotr, and Betsy...
Image

Almost the same shot, but this time with Hank...
Image

With the rest of the gang...
Image

A nice looking shot of Remy and Rouge, just wanted to stick this in there...
Image

Propped up in my own display area...

Again, muchos gracias to Bro Geetar for making this a reality! :D

P.S.
Some factual errors (which I am honest enough to admit) would include the ff:
1. Bishop was not in the Xmen #1 cover. He appeared on ish #8. I just wanted to include so that he won't sulk. hahahaha!
2. Rouge was supposed to "fly". I posed her standing still instead.
3. Logan is in his yellow/blue duds. The Xmen #1 cover has him in brown. I didn't bother repainting it coz he changed to the yellow/blue combo in ish #5 anyway. :D

Love seeing them all together like that. Those have always been the costumes I've seen as their defaults, mainly since that's what they wore in the cartoon I watched growing up. Excellent representation here.

all those custom figures are amazing, I wish I had them, all around excellent sculpting and painting. The only 1 I don't like is storm, just her head..the body is good,

To what extent are those figures modded at all and repainted?

They look a lot cleaner than the SHS I've seen. My Cap looks like Colonel Zombie America.

AWESOME customs man, I love how you took some really bad molds (such as the females) and made them look great! Very professional looking!

J-man, Levantine, Tanstoys, danielb, Aegis
Thanks for the kind words fellas. Geetar aka Rateeg would really be proud to know about your comments. :-P

TR101AL and Cobra Command
Parts list would include the ff:

Gambit, Iceman, Archangel, and Prof X: SHS Human Torch 100% (and whole lotta sculpey)
Bishop: SHS Punisher with RAH SF Balrog head (again, major sculpey work)
Rogue, Storm (Elektra head), Jean: SHS Invisible Girl, and lotsa make-up. :-D
Psylocke: SHS IG head, Symbiote Spidey body

I'm sorry but I'm not the creator of this collection. I just conceptualized the final look of the team, aside from being the owner of these cool customs. Geetar and his wife, mrs. rateeg did all the hard work. They might be interested in joining the NJC though, but I know for sure they'll be up againts stiff competition. hehehe! Thanks for the invite though. ;-)

We're still cooking up my SHS Merc'...y'all know who that be. He's up next. Hope you guys would be watching out for it. Sincerely appreciate all y'all positive comments. :-D

Proud to be Pinoy,
g_sk1lls
