So continuing my tweaks of past customs, here is Ragman with a new cape and Catman with touch-ups on the face.

Firefly is borrowed somewhat from The Batman (animated series) and my own touch, I have several different ideas for the flight pack.

Hooked on Venom recently and here is a WIP.

I don't keep up with comics, so most of these are vague at best to me... I do recognize the Catman, but only because I've seen the 6" figure of him warming pegs around this area. I've seen Firefly on the 'Batman' cartoon series (I think he made an appearance in the "Batman: The Animated Series" once). Is Venom a new take on Spidey's enemy? I haven't seen him in this form, although my daughter informed me a while back that he had become a sort of "good guy"... I am at a complete loss with the Ragman character. Anyway, these customs are all very solid, nicely painted with parts that work well together (I am guessing they look like the characters they represent, since all of your other customs do such a great job of translating the characters from the comic pages to the plastic world). Great work, as I have come to expect from you!

Venom is now a government agent and bonded to Flash Thompson.

I dig Venom and Firefly, but the head on Catman seem a bit small.

These are all really good. Ragman and Catman make me pine for the old DCU. Firefly is neat mix of designs. Venom might be my fave though. I don't really collect the Marvel line but I would grab this version if I could. Really joyed Remender's work with this character.

Can't say I'm a fan of any version of Venom, but you've definitely captured his look here.

As for the others...now THAT's what I'm talking about!

I've been piecing together a Firefly, but now that I see yours I'm reconsidering some things. That base body is just brilliant.

Ragman and Catman are great stuff.

Thanks!

I have to agree Spin, I thought Venom was good for a Spiderman one story arc and done and then as usual they beat the symbiote stuff to death. But, in this case the current Venom idea is the best use of a character recycle I have seen in some time (Savage Six storyline being the best so far, I do think they ae still having problems knowing what to do with him).

I love that design for Venom and you pulled off this custom of it beautifully. I tried and totally failed at it.

Venom is the strongest custom of the bunch. Good use of parts and pretty faithful to the design. plus it just looks cool.

I like Ragman for no other reason than you were able to change up that standard MU body.

I agree that Catman's head is a little small. Other than that he looks good.

Still a ways to go on this one, but here is current and parts waiting on.

Head/Torso - MU FF Spiderman (One from 2 pk w/ Doom)
Hands/Legs - MU Steve Rogers
Neck Guard - Renegade Duke Vest Collar
Neck Guard Front Plate - Storm Shadow v28 Mouth Guard from Hood
Shoulder Pads - Batman Begins Batman
Bracers - Wraith (Waiting on second one)
Current Belt - Captain America (Movie Line)
Belt (enroute) - Captain Britain (Captain America Line)
Shin Guards (enroute) - Captain America Fortress Assault
Knee Pads (enroute) - Renegade Duke
2 Holsters - MU Punisher

Once the pieces are in place and I touch-up the paint, then I plan to go back and sculpt some random spikes on the pads.

All are solid, with Ragman being my favorite. You did a great job of sculpting (with tape?) to create the appearance of stitched together fabric scraps.
