Thanks for the post! I have really tweaked my process over the last 2 years. For my collection puposes I make the figures so that they look closest to the character I want and for single pose display so I sacrafice playability for accuracy.
I use green stuff for any sculpting and before painting any part swaps that I do include workable joints for the most part.
I prime all my customs with Flat White Krylon Spray. Depending on how heavy I go with the coating determines how the joints respond. If you just do a quick, light cover then the joints can still be moved without chipping.
I recently switched from Americana and Apple Barrel paints to the Reaper brand. Reaper applies much more smoothly and allows more joint play.
Marvel Universe is my major base line for my customs.
I would consider most of my customs more as Mini Statues than Figures.
Hope this helps. Any specific questions, feel free to pm me.
