![[Havok (Uncanny Avengers)] Was thrilled to see Havok was going to get a shot in the spotlight after such a long hiatus in space and mucking around with X-Factor. Even more surprised to see he was going to be the actual leader of the Uncanny Avengers, but here he is in his new costume. I varied the blacks/finishes up quite a bit to make him stand out a bit, but he's all Bucky Cap with boots from Wonder Man.](userimages/customs/44000/43656-1.jpg) Havok (Uncanny Avengers) Marvel Legendsby raybotWas thrilled to see Havok was going to get a shot in the spotlight after such a long hiatus in space and mucking around with X-Factor.

The head's an Elektra, with feet from Viper. The hair and cape were from my DC Direct fodder bin but I'm not sure who they belong to. Worked out well though, and I love the way her current costume is a good update of her classic outfit.](userimages/customs/43500/43301-1.jpg) Polaris Marvel Legendsby raybotPolaris!

I have no idea why they painted her purple, but she looks a lot better in her iconic black costume. I also carved out her head a bit so she could look up and down, which was a sore point for me on the original figure since it seemed like she was constantly looking upwards. Also, guns. Face is just a gorgeous sculpt too, and with some cleaner paint and shading it looks even better.
Best part was she was cast in black in the first place, so it was really easy to strip off the purple at the joints. I love it when a custom ends up with no joint rub.](userimages/customs/43500/43093-1.jpg) Black Widow Marvel Selectby raybotJust a repaint of the Disney exclusive Marvel Select Black Widow.

![[Kree Sentries] I built two of these to bulk out my Kree army awhile ago and they really added to the display. Thought the big robot guards were definitely some of the more formidable looking threats of the Kree Empire, so it was cool to finally add some to the shelf.
Sculpted a bunch of little details to differentiate them from the Sentinels, but at the end of the day they both had pretty similar looks. Resculpted the torso overlay, the heads, and the "skirt" detail out of apoxie.](userimages/customs/43000/42848-1.jpg) Kree Sentries Marvel Legendsby raybotI built two of these to bulk out my Kree army awhile ago and they really added to the display.

![[Captain America] Wanted more of a generic looking classic Cap, so I started a ton of mods on a Faceoff Captain America. That one was always close to perfect.
Repositioned the neck and resculpted the traps and shoulders to reduce the ape-like posture and bulk he had, then replaced his gloves and boots with Taskmaster's so they weren't as flared. The hands were from Bullseye and the head was from the 2-pack Ultimate Captain America. Shaved that down and sculpted the mask and wings. Think I ended up with a nice Cap.](userimages/customs/43000/42823-1.jpg) Captain America Marvel Legendsby raybotWanted more of a generic looking classic Cap, so I started a ton of mods on a Faceoff Captain America.

I replaced the axles with magnets that connect to either the side of the wheel or the center, so they could just be repositioned into flight mode. The little turbines in the wheels connect with magnets too. Thought that worked pretty well, without having to make some weighty mechanism. Always liked the flying cars.](userimages/customs/42500/42238-1.jpg) SHIELD Flying Car Marvel Legendsby raybotWell, basically got a nice doll-car that I wanted to rework into a SHIELD car since it was about the right size, plus it was pretty much hollow so it ...10 comments |
![[Hawkeye (Heroic Age)] And here's Hawkeye! I think I liked this Heroic Age look the best out of his modern outfits. It does a great job of keeping a lot of his classic costume elements present, but also reigned in enough he doesn't seem out of place with the more modernized looks a lot of other characters are sporting these days. He kept this look throughout the Heroic Age and up till he just recently joined the Secret Avengers using his movie look, but I definitely thought this costume was the better looking one.
Anyways, he's all Bucky Cap, with a head/loincloth transplant from ML7 Hawkeye. The banded arm was from Winter Soldier, and the belt was from Jigsaw. The quiver was from a Young Justice Red Arrow and I'm pretty sure the bow was from a DCUC Red Arrow. Sculpted the chest gear and added an elastic string to his bow.](userimages/customs/42500/42074-1.jpg) Hawkeye (Heroic Age) Marvel Legendsby raybotAnd here's Hawkeye!

I added a true ball-joint into the torso (so it can freely pivot/tilt/arch in any direction), then the flush rocker ankles Hasbro's been using. Hair should be from DCUC Stargirl, and the billy clubs are Nightwing's, but otherwise she's all Black Widow. Also resculpted her crotch/thighs a bit too, as well as all the various costume details. Used some clear resin to do her goggles too.

It's still his costume from his solo movie (since the Avengers figure was an unreleased carry-over) but the sculpt's so top-notch on this I'd been really looking forward to detailing and painting the thing. The only basework I did on the guy was recutting his torso joint so he could bend forward and backwards a lot more. Otherwise most of the work just went into getting the subtle details right.

I thought the size of the MS Hulk was great and he's pretty well articulated, but I wasn't a big fan of the head, the untextured pants, and the shade of green. I just wanted a more screen-accurate Hulk and instantly decided on the head from Hasbro's electronic Gamma Strike Hulk. That head had to be hollowed out and refitted with a rubber socket so I could pop the head on. I'm glad I took some time etching in the texture for his pants and getting the green I wanted. Plus I got a pretty convincing 5 o'clock shadow on this one, which is just barely there in the movie. Did some cuts to his hips to get the clearance for his hips to ratchet forward another notch too.
And it started out such a simple custom too! Took me a month to really finish since I wasn't getting a lot of dedicated custom time and I kept noticing little things to do.](userimages/customs/40500/40345-1.jpg) Hulk (Marvel Select Avengers) Marvel Legendsby raybotWell, this is the movie Hulk I'll be keeping with my movie figures.
