Cable has been a favorite of mine since way back to The New Mutants. I modeled this custom after the Marvel Legends figure. I did opt to not paint the boots yellow. I mean really who is gonna fault me for choosing to not paint YELLOW. Instead, I painted them brown to match the shoulder pads and to match the boots on the ML variant figure. The left arm is really just a place holder until Hasbro gets around to doing one that will work right.... Colossus is too big, Winter Soldier is too small, Maverick is not right. Maybe I should just sculpt my own..... Yeah, with all my free time, thats not gonna happen.

Hover Chair: Toy Biz Professor X – HEAVILY MODIFIED
Easily the most labor I have put into a custom in a long time. And is this really a custom figure or a custom vehicle? This was an idea I have had in the back of my mind for about a year. Seeing Chiefs Prof X, which looks fantastic, prompted me to finally do this. I took the Toy Biz Prof. X, removed the half figure, then proceeded to cut about a 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch from the middle. Then I removed the seat back and cut 1/2 inch from the bottom. I glued it back together, did a lot of sanding and then painted. I am copying Chiefs BRILLIANT Cerebro idea. I have the helmet done already. I just need the hoses. I plan to attach the hoses to a backpack and drill a hole in the back of the Hover Chair so the portable Cerebro unit will be removable and could also be worn on the back of a figure. It will happen... one day.

Head: 25th Clutch
Torso: MU Namor
Arms: MU Namor
Legs: MU Namor
Vest: Chap Mei
Belt: Leash from Law & Order
Sniper Rifle: Spy Troops Barrel Roll
Rifle Strap: Chap Mei
I have been holding onto that damn Chap Mei vest for like 4 years. I finally used it. I opted to not go with the leopard print pants because I always felt it was over kill with the lion vest.
Callisto
Head: Cast of my custom sculpted Jinx head with added eye patch
Torso: SW Darth Talon
Upper Arms: SW Darth Talon
Lower Arms: Spy Troops Lady Jaye
Legs: Darth Talon
Vest: IJ Mutt Williams
Belt: Spy Troops Zarana
Callisto has actually been finished for about a year. Overall, I like her. I did notice when I took the pic that her lower arms are a slightly lighter shade of flesh tone. You know how we always say "its the pic, it does not look that way in person"? Well thats not the case here. They are actually lighter and I just never noticed. I guess I am getting sloppy in my old age. No, I probably will not go back and fix it.
Fabian Cortez
Head: SW Anakin Skywalker
Arms: 25th Nemesis Immortal
Hands: I don’t remember what I used
Torso: MU Black Panter
Legs: MU Black Panther
Arm Bracers: MU Black Panther
Shoulder Pads: Spy Troops Scalpel
Head Set: SW Pilot Obi-Wan (I think)
Cape: Toy Biz Magneto
I really liked the Acolytes story line with Magneto and Fabian is at the heart of it. This was another custom that has been done for about year. Kinda simple, nothing too outrages with this guy. I did use vinyl tape for the stripes on the torso. I had wanted to try that as an alternative to painting straight red lines. It looks o.k. but not great.
Let me know what you think.
