![[Mystique] The Marvel Legends figure of Mystique was in my opinion, awful. When I bought it for first time, I was appalled with the figure. I kept the figure as it was for a long time, but now has come the moment of custom enhancement :) . First, I searched for a image that match what I had in mind, having found it, I cut the hands, extracted the hair, cut the skirt, I sanded the head, and dremeled the torso. I made a new skirt out of a Pirates of the Caribbean figure. Then it was all sculpting, I had to nearly cover all the figure.
Then the paint scheme; I had to apply 5 coats of white paint to achieve a even and shiny look. Fortunately the blue was much easier and with one coat was enough. Hope you like it, this is really the way it should be.

The main problem with the official figure is that it is more of a statue, with absolutely no joints or poseability. A Mad Hatter that can't even do the slightest Futterwakken? Complete madness!
I basically hacked the figurine up into many, many pieces. I tried to keep as many parts from the original figure as possible, and incorporated pieces from two other figures to give him poseable joints and accessories; the collar and upper body were basically hollowed out so the new neck and shoulders could be fitted into the torso and the gaps stuffed with epoxy. I also added a swivel joint into the new upper arms. His socks are fabric painted with fabric markers, and conveniently hide his knee and calf joints.
I also figured I would go all out and give him a removeable hat and hair, unfortunately this involved cutting his hat off of his head](userimages/customs/23500/23169-1.jpg) Mad Hatter Alice In Wonderlandby missharleyquinnThis is my ultimate version of Tim Burton's Mad Hatter, made from the small Medicom figure (un-customized figure is the first pic in the brown suit). ...5 commentsRated 3.38 stars ( 135 votes) |

My favourite DC story is Kingdon Come, I really liked the darker suit Superman wore. I always wondered why he never wore a suit like it in the regular comics, so here is a younger Superman in the Kingdom Come Suit. I've left the laces on the boots as I feel it gives the figure more of a "real world" look, like combat boots instead of riding boots

I really hate how mcfarlane toys does a lot of their figures (well when they still made toys worth getting) but saying that I never liked the finished product of jack in the first place. The whole fat apron wearing cut off leg shenanigans thing was stupid in my book. So going through my fodder parts box which the jack figure was in I found pieces of A NECA hitman figure I had so 2 and 2 together it worked for a pretty great custom.
I used the upper and lower body of the hitman figure and dremeled the upper body so the trench coat would fit along with the arms. I then dremeled off the jack figures old side ways looking neck so it could be fitted on the new one.

Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles.
Second up in the Gargoyles line up is Steel Clan Robot. This custom was originally supposed to be Red Leader Xanatos, but I figured to make this a prototype to what will help make Red Leader better. So with that said I used this contest and my meager customizing skills to cobble together with robot parts from different toy lines an ultimate (if you will) version of the Steel Clan Robot. Crossing over the TV series with the comics and some personal minor creative differences.

I started by pulling Kilowogs fist from his arm, Next I used an xacto blade to cut off the point that inserts into his arm.
There is no going back at this point, I then drilled a hole through the center of his ring about half way through his fist...Careful you have to go in at an angle and take breaks to keep from melting the rubber.
After I was satisfied I drilled from the bottom with a bigger drill bit using my drill {** IMPORTANT** when drilling leave a thin lip around the hole that you are drilling this inserts into arm!} after the 2 holes connected I went a tad further maybe an 1/8" I then inserted my led with long prongs (do not cut)
Now the tricky part. I took a disc magnet broke it in half and soldered it to the lowest prong on the led.
and then stacked the other half on top. Afterwards I took the longest prong and added solder for a larger tighter contact, Without going past the lip of the wrist

I hope this is a custom entry that is within the parameters for this contest because I believe the “ way they should be” is the way the Lion of Olympus should have more or less looked out of the factory. The HML figure base isn’t bad, but that head was a little too small for my taste and that dumb smile would have been better off as a smirk or gritting teeth, so I switched it out for a larger WWE head that looked very Herc. The custom was also given multiple hands because I was not a fan of those c-grip weird mini hands that Hasbro gave the original.

![[Halo Hayabusa Spartan "Winged Fury"] This is my thoughts about what an ultimate Halo Hayabusa Spartan would look like. I took the standard Blue Mark VI Spartan and custom painted him in Orange metallic acrylics. I added lots of custom green accents and markings. He has his unit crest on his chest and he wears his Spartan #159 proudly. He fights with the "Death Dueces" (you can see their flash on his shoulder armor).
"Winged Fury" was given an incredible set of detailed wings mounted to his back (pinned so they can be removed for packing). They were painted to match the bone segment of his helmet to fully join his look. I found a real Japanese Katana Blade that is made of metal to mount to his back. It is sharp and he can hold it. He wears a custom plasma grenade and all his weapons are magnetized to his body (back, right thigh, hip, and hand) so they are easy to move and hold. His main heavy blaster rifle was customized using a few spare parts and truly finishes his look.
