Outback-era X-men

Just missing Psylocke. I haven't decided if I want to do armored version or the flow-y pink outfit.

Not very happy with the way the chest emblem came out. I also hate the X-23 mold even more now that I used it for a base. The legs are too big for that torso. The head was a temporary head, but after adding the red for the headband, I kind of liked it.

This is one of my favorite runs of Uncanny X-Men, so it's great to see somebody represent it in figure form. I really like what you did with Colossus: is the upper body from that barely-articulated Wolverine movie figure? If so, that's an impressive conversion from useless piece of crap to cool-looking figure. Nice work on these guys.

Colossus is actually the torso and leg balls from the Thor line Destroyer figure. I modded the arm sockets to accommodate ball joints and resculpted part of the shoulder area. The arms and legs are from the Wolverine: Origins line Colossus. The head is the Showdown Colossus head.

If you decide on armored Psylocke I suggest SW Barriss Offee's head and cape

I never see enough Dazzler customs. Rock on, the whole lineup really looks great.

Wow...that must have taken some serious work. Nicely played.

I too liked this team lineup. The head is perfect for Dazzler. Rogue looks the best.good work on the team and you should figure out Psylocke

Thanks. Both arms have full movement but there was definitely an easier way. It's one of those things where I figured out how I SHOULD have done it about halfway through.
I have an extra Destroyer (thanks to Rescuer) and have plans to make an AoA Colossus so I'll get to try again.

Bumping!

Finished my armored Psylocke custom and also realized I never posted my re-do of Dazzlers chest emblem.

Colossus is my favorite of the group. Psylocke looks good too. Rogue could use some narrower eyes but that is the sculpts fault not yours.

High marks on all of these with extra credit for Colossus re-engimeering.

Armored Psylocke and Rogue are the standouts.

If there's a weak link, it's Dazzler.

You need Gateway to complete this.

Then, do Donald Pierce and the Reavers...
