Advice for customs?

Postby I Mandalore » Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:49 pm

Hi, I wanted to make the original Thunderbolts team in 3 3/4" scale, starting with Mach IV. My cousin recommended I use an Iron Man movie figure as the base. Any other advice or recommended parts? Like, what I could use for the wings, etc.? Anything is welcome. Thanks!

A GI Joe "Air Assault Glider" might work for the wings. Granted its been awhile since I've look closely at a Mach IV, but its what comes to mind. I'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you look on the Yojoe website it's filed under 2009.

OK, thanks! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. Unfortunately, all the stores in my area stopped carrying G.I.Joe figs. :(

I'm pretty sure I've still got the wings from one of them. If you think they'll work for you we can work something out.

Sure, what are looking for? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for making a Terminator into an EXTREMELY poseable skeleton? I've always wanted one...

I don't think there is any way o add articulation to them considering how slim and fragile they are. You could however replace the solisd torso with like a cheap skeleton toy to make it more.... skeletal.

Not really looking for anything. Assuming I can find them, you can have them if you cover postage. I'll PM you after I confirm that I have them.
