Which is your ALL-TIME FAVORITE BASE FIG 4 Customs?

I usually use the ML bodies. but I have'nt done many "hero" figures, I've done mostly dragons. mcfarlane is a good start that way!

The SA imperial officer bodies and the ROTS palpatine

ML Psylocke and ML Quicksilver.

DCUC are what I prefer to use.

MLs are just too inconsistent. Maelstrom summed up my feelings about them too. one extra thing is that a lot of the MLs just seem scrawny compared to the DCUC.

I just completed my first couple of customs using DCUC figures as a base and think I may be switching primarily to them in the future...I like that the customs, as with the DCUC line, all flow together and have the same style...you can't really get that with ML...

Although I haven't completed a custom using one yet, I am really liking the DCUC lineup for base figures. Lot's of articulation is great, but sometimes the ML series just went overboard and added totally unnecessary articulation not only did not enhance the figure, but in many cases left them awkward looking. The DCUC base figures are a nice and simple platform to work from and if you need more articulation for one, you can just work in some ML parts or something. I am also glad to see a little bit of variance in the body sculpts...for instance, I know many people were turned of by the tiny version of Robin that DCUC did, but there are all kinds of possibilities for that as a base figure. The Sinestro figure is also nice as it provides a different physique than the standard bodies of most of the DCUC line-up. And don't forget the new female figures they have put out, the Wonder-Woman/Artemis figure has perhaps the best "near seamless" articulation in the hip/leg joint. I just wish they would have made Big Barda BIG!
