Hello All,
Here is my redo of a more muscular black suit symbiote Spider-man. I wanted a more muscular figure because when Peter Parker has this suit on he is stronger, so I wanted to reflect that. I used a ML Iron Fist as a base, exchanged forearms/hands with a ML Bullseye. Cut the collar off and sculpted it smooth. Smoothed out forearms, feet, belt area. and sculpted the head. Dremelled the upper legs next to ball joint to make a more streamlined look. The spider symbol is a little different than my first attempt, this time it's a little more aggressive. Redid the eyes. It took me forever to come up with a good design for the eyes. I finally got it the way I wanted it, So I decided to go back to the old figure and change them too.
Hope you guys like! Thanks for looking.](userimages/customs/19000/18729-1.jpg) Symbiote Spider-Man Marvel Legendsby bladehopper82Symbiote Spider-man 12-14-2009

After seeing Boskoes redesign of the arms on this Juggernaut figure, I decided to take a crack at it. But since then, I have purchased the ML Juggernaut and decided to go with an idea I had about using this figure as a gamma infected Cap. He has the perfect head for it and with the new arms, I thought it could work. I'm not the best sculptor, but I tried to make the torn shirt collar, gloves, and boots (big toe and heels). Sculpted the star on the chest and A on the head. I'll admit he isn't my best custom, but it was fun. The pics don't really bring out the different shades of green, but it looks pretty good in person. He is a cross between Ultimate Cap and series 1 Cap.
There's a pic of a Bengal custom I'm working on. It looked so easy, but those black lines, especially on his face, are a pain. So he is pretty much plain right now.](userimages/customs/16500/16233-1.jpg) Gamma Infected Captain America Spider-Manby bladehopper827-19-2009 Gamma Infected Captain America

Hello all,
This is my Deadpool Bike. This is a pre-made 1:12 ratio bike. I usually get the one that you have to put together, but they no longer sell those in my area. Simple repaint in black and red with a Deadpool emblem on the seat. I was thinking of adding some more flare, but I had a creative block. I was thinking of maybe a half emblem on the black side panel next to the front tire, and another emblem on the front window part. But I was torn with over doing it and not doing enough. I'll probably add one or both of them.
I also included the Deadpool figure I'm working on, cause what bike is complete without a rider. He is a complete ML Bullseye. I dremelled his head down and sculpted it to a more proportionate size to the body. I sculpted the chest piece/straps, belt buckle and maybe I'll do the wrist and ankles later. Still have to add the swords other accessories.](userimages/customs/16500/16231-1.jpg) Deadpool Bike Marvel Legendsby bladehopper827-19-2009 Deadpool Bike

Hello All! After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back. Not that anyone missed me or knew I was gone....lol. I'm finally at a point where I don't have to sell my figures after I make them, but unfortunately I have less time to work on my customs (Growing up and getting a job isn't fun). But now I can just make figures for myself, so I decided to go back to my favorites. Although I have to admit that I like to know how much my figures are worth to others.
First up, Scarlet Spider. This is my 3rd version, and I think the best. Same basic recipe as before, but I used Dr. Strange's legs and a movie Iron Man head sculpted this time. Instead of sculpting the eyes, I just painted them on. They look much better now. I omitted the belt, partly because I was lazy and I think it looks cool without it.
In some of the pics, I went back a remade my Iceman and I'm working on a stealth Hawkeye with interchangeable head with original and unmasked. I have the remake of](userimages/customs/15000/14571-1.jpg) Scarlet Spider III Marvel Legendsby bladehopper825-10-2009 Scarlet Spider III

I know what your all thinking, "another Iron Man". Well, yeah. But this is a little bit different than what you have seen before. I used a Mr. Sinister as a base. The head is from, if you would believe it, a series 1 Marvel Legends Iron Man. I trimmed the chin and sculpted the head to give a modern I'm/Extremis I'm look, mask is still removeable. I add the movie I'm shoulder pads and chest piece. I cut off the ultimate I'm arm blaster and glued them on to his forearms. Trimmed the upper leggs down and sculpted them. And there you have it, another I'm custom w/ a little twist.

Hello all, after getting a hold of a SF Gen, I knew I had to recreate Jin Saotome's Shen Xorn. The recipe is the same for the masked Shen Xorn. For the unmasked, I thought about doing the Iceman head and hands, but not to copy Jin's work completely, I decided to us the original SF Gen head and just painted his eyes blue w/ silver. I wanted a little more blue to show through in his clothes, so I painted the blue first and dry brushed white over it. I tried to find more pics of Shen Xorn in the monk outfit, but there is only one pic that I could find. And that is the one which he poses sitting with his legs crossed in a meditative pose. I toyed around with the idea of a different color outfit, but in the end, decided to stay with the white.](userimages/customs/7500/7451-1.jpg) Shen Xorn Street Fighterby bladehopper82Shen Xorn 5-7-2008

Hello all,
This is my version of the black symbiote Spider-man. I used a Fearsome Foes Spiderman as the base. After buying this figure, I found that one of the shoulder joints was wrong, basically had two left shoulder joints. So I had to dremel down the bad joint and sculpt it to resemble the other side. I also bulked up his biceps and forearms a little bit, I might go back and bulk up the legs later. Filled in the webbing where I could and tried to smooth him out as much as possible. I tried to cut out all the wrinkles on the legs and sanded them down as much as I could. Sculpted new eyes and finished with a paint job. I included some WIP pics, they sorta like like the symbiot is taking over his body.

Hello All,
This is my custom Iron Man War Machine. I based him loosely off of the new 2007 Armor War Machine pics I found. Mainly his head sculpt w/ modified eyes, forearm lasers sculpt (forearms from HOM I'm), and a little leg sculpt. I also sculpted his torso and chest to make him look more proportional and because WM is suppose to be bigger. I cut holes into his shoulder pads and glued magnets in them. I did the same to his shoulder cannons and now they can be interchanged and in some cases, placed on top of each other for maximum power. The magnets also allow for the cannons to swivel for different angles. One cannon is a modified HOM arm cannon with a scope added, the other 2 are from the movie stealth ops I'm. I found a monocular/binocular that I used as a jet pack, (which can be removed), because WM needs more power to lift all his weapons. A new paint job and I think that's it.

Hello all, here is my version of Iron Man that everyone seems to be doing. I initially wanted to do the same thing most do, with the Modern Iron Man head and HoM I'm body because it looks so cool. But I had trouble with my Modern I'm head, it just wouldn't come off. So a while back I had taken the Tony Stark head off of my Hulk Buster I'm and put it on the Hasbro I'm thinking it would make it better which it did, but still not a good figure. So I placed Tony's head on the HoM I'm and it looked much better. I than tried to sculpt the Ultimate I'm helmet to make it look a little better. (I based it on Jin Saotome's work on how he turned TB I'm's head into a work of art.) Not exactly Jin Saotome quality, but better than the original, in my opinion. Switched out forearms and hands with Modern I'm, sculpted the neck area to make it look a little bigger and a repaint finished him off.

Hello everybody, today we have my version of the Scarlet Spider. I had an original Toybiz Scarlet Spider, but I didn't like the articulation in it. I decided to make my own. My last custom was Night Crawler, and after finishing him, I decided I wanted to use his body for the SS instead.
So I took off all his limbs and his custom head and I replaced it with a LCBH Star head, ML Bullseye arms, and ML Ice Man legs and removed the X that I sculpted on the chest. I dremelled down the eyebrows and trimmed the shoulder pads. Had to fix his buttocks from where NC's tail was. I then sculpted the calves to make them bigger and more proportional to the figure. Next I sculpted the head, eyes, hood, webshooters, ankle straps, and belt.
Started with a base coat of all black. Dry brushed the red suit and blue hoodie. Hand painted the eyes and spider on the chest. Then finished the belt, webshooters, and ankle straps.

Hello all, this is my version of Nightcrawler. I didn't really like the ML version's head, although I think the body is awesome with a lot of articulation. I just wanted something a little bit different for the head, a bit darker or angrier. I had a variant bullseye head laying around and thought it might work. Dremelled down the top and back of head as well as the chin to make it look a bit smaller. Bullseye's head is a bit big. After I finished that, I worked on sculpting his hair. I knew what I wanted and I also knew what I capable of doing. Unfortunately those weren't the same thing, lol. But what turned out wasn't all that bad. Finished with an X on the chest and went to the paint. I thought about tweaking the color scheme, red gloves and shoes, but it didn't look all that good. So just drybrushed the body sectoin all red and kept the gloves and feet white.

I completed the legs to make him more accurate to the picture and makes his legs look less skinny than before. I finished with a clear protective coat that I found that gives it a little more shine but not a gloss, which I do not like on figures. I actually came upon it by accident. I add a sealer coat on the apoxie sculpt before I paint and I found that that sealer is a good coat over the paint as well.
Although it is not 100% the same as the picture, I got him as close as I could. I think it looks pretty good for an amatuer customizer. I added the comic picture that I based this figure off of for comparison. Mask is still removeable to reveal Stark. I thought it would be weird, but I actually found a pic with Tony Stark putting on the CD armor and I'm's on the ground.

At first, I was wanting to do something with my Thor Buster Iron Man cause I didn't like the figure as is. So I saw a pic of Crimson Dynamo and I new it would work. At first, I replaced the arms and legs with the XMC Colossus. But while working with it, The leg joint broke on the Thor Buster so, I replaced the TB body with the original XMC Colossus body. In the pic, you can see that I did the head first, just to make sure I could pull it off. Once I put the head on the figure, I got to work. First I sculpted the shoulder pads and chest circle, and than the forearms. After that, I redid the belt line and the strip that goes down the crotch. I thought about doing the legs the way the picture showed, but I decided not to. I might go back and do it later.

![[Punisher and Cycle] I saw a bike for Punisher by VariablePenguin and thought it would be cool to make a bike for my Punisher. I bought one of those bike kits you put together, this one was a 1:12 ratio. After I put it together, I painted it all black except the lights and windshield and I put a Punisher skull symbol on the seat. I thought about doing the skull on the front maybe on the windshield, but I like the all black look. And I thought that the skull on the seat could be like some kind of body recognition device that could tell the Punisher from someone else. What do you guys think, Should I put another skull on the front or side? I was able to put Punisher's gun on the side of the bike which was handy.
The actual Punisher is modified a bit, the belt teeth were removed and repainted. The whole suit was also repainted and dry brushed. I also painted the neck so that when he has his helmet on, it looks better. Helmet is from some Aqua Spider-man that I had.

I first started off with the LCBH Star figure and put the ML Iceman head on it, but the neck was too long and it looked weird. So I got out my Variant ML Bullseye that I've been saving and used his body instead, which was a better fit. But of course it couldn't be that easy. As I was adjusting the head to fit, Bullseye's arm fall's right off, broken at the joint and I didn't even touch it. So I had to go back to the Star body but I preferred Bullseyes limbs, so I switched them. I tried my best to dremel down the neck to make it smaller and also dremeled the inside of his head to fit better. I also removed Star's belt and had to sculpt his waist due to the gap left from the belt.
