My first finished custom is my stepdaughter as a superhero. Took a Marvel Legends X-23, pulled off the hair, did some neck surgery, popped off those claw hands, and replaced them with Witchblade's. Next, I black plastic sprayed the entire figure, drilled holes in the feet and superglued magnets in them, painted her face(detailing her eyes and mouth),superglued beauty shop fake weave hair to her head, then painted her body with metallic acrylics, and gave her a matt topcoat. I also customized a dollar store motorcycle for her and a "Westy" dog-face sidekick.
My 8 year-old stepdaughter was unimpressed. Her babysitter loved it.
Thanks for the inspiration!
