Ok, so today begins my "weekend", so I was able to touch up & finish a batch of customs that I intended to show back in my "Gotham" thread. But since not all these guys are Gotham natives, I figured I'd start a new thread.
I've been waiting for a suitable MU base figure for a while - and found what I needed in Warpath. Problem is, the dude was too tall, so I had to make some mods in order to finish this guy:
Had to shorten his legs and swap out his hands. Problem is, the Warpath wrists are super-skinny to accommodate his wrist bands. That, coupled with the also-skinny nature of the MM wrists made it necessary to keep the wristbands for now. I will eventually sand them down or sculpt replacements to give it a smoother look, but I'm fine with it for now. Here are some WIP and comparison shots:
Next are a few updated Batman Rogues.
I didn't like the ROC CC armored chest on my LBC Joker, so I went and salvaged the sculpted torso from my 25A Joker custom and tweaked it a bit. For Harvey, I really wanted to just leave him with a single-colored suit. But when I updated my Alfred with Destro's pants, I needed to differentiated Two-Face's outfit a bit. The arrival of 2 new SDCC Destro packs (got both for only $20 ea shipped!) allowed me the necessary freedom to go ahead and give Harvey a paint job. Nothing spectacular, but he's more Two-Facey now.
Riddler's a new one - I've been wanting to make him for a long time, but didn't know which way to go. After I built Alfred, I had leftover parts and threw them together along with a Xamot head and a modded Indy fedora and he just came together. I'll eventually put a question mark on his bowler hat, but for now I'm leaving him logo-less. I also had a cane built for him, but then decided that I never cared for the caned look anyway, so I scrapped it. He needs some touch-ups around the mask, but he's nearly complete.
Sputnik's post prompted me to make a Stephanie Brown Spoiler/Batgirl:
Just a ROC Scarlett with Helix legs, ROC Ana lower arms and a Micro Batgirl head. I managed to alter the head enough to get rid of some of the cartoony-ness, but I need to paint it again to give her a more serious look. I noticed that the ROC RA Scarlett torso really lends itself to painting a Bat symbol on the chest - the contours of the armor have a near built-in symbol already. I need to go back over her with a different shade of purple once I pick some up - she doesn't need to match all the bad guys.
Robin is my previous custom with some new lower legs to make him more in-scale with the MU-based customs (and I wanted him at least as tall as his girlfriend
) -- folks have asked if I plan to make a comic-accurate version, but I figure it this way: Bats isn't going to put minors in harm's way without some kind of protection, so both Robin & Batgirl are going to have some degree of body armor unlike Bats and Nightwing, who are older and more seasoned.
Finally, here's a group shot of my current incarnation of the Justice League:
I updated Flash to give him a different head (this is a JvC Flint modded - I used it for my Microman Flash) and new hands. I like him a lot better than my previous version, which used a modded Serpentor head (with that dead look in his eyes) and CC gauntlets instead of form-fitting gloves.
Now that I've got the Warpath recipe for Supes, I'm going to use the same trick and update Hawkman, Marvel, & J'onn - those MLS Magneto bodies pale in comparison to the Warpath mold. Time to upgrade once a gain
Cheers!
But, since I'm the one who'll be playing with these guys, that's all that really matters
