![[Prism] Prism is not a well known X-men character. With his entire body used as a prism he can shine blinding light at his opponents. He only lasted two pages in the X-men Mutant Massacre comics until meeting his demise. Prism was one of the evil Marauders who was killed by the X-men during the Morlock tunnels massacre.
Recipe: I had been wanting to make this figure for quite some time but contemplating how to make him. Used a vintage X-men Iceman figure painted white with blue undertones and used mini pieces of cut up plastic painted and glued over the entire figure. Matched the coloring to the comics version of Prism to give him an overall white appearance with shades of light yellow, light pink and light blue.](userimages/customs/22000/21584-1.jpg) Prism X-Menby Gambit4HirePrism is not a well known X-men character.

Known to others as Vril Rokk, he is one of the original Imperial Guard to battle the X-men. He has the ability to absorb energy and has super strength and resistance to injury.
In his time off from battling foes of the Shi’ar Empire he spends his time quietly painting in his loft apartment. The painting in pic 2 is titled “Your Peace,” which was made and given to me by my artist friend, Luz. I thought this would be fun to incoprorate it into one of my figures as the scale seemed appropriate. The paintbrush in Smasher’s hand is actually a painted toothpick. Starting out as a Cyclops figure, the ear muffs were removed. Then sculpted hair, ears and thin layer around the body to remove the Cyclops clothing patterns. The figure was painted, rubberband waistband was added and sealed in matte finish.](userimages/customs/14500/14033-1.jpg) Smasher X-Menby Gambit4HireSmasher comes to you staight from the Shi’ar Imperial Guard.

![[Titan] Titan towers over his friends and enemies. He has the power to increase his mass and strength at will making him a formidable opponent. Even at his normal size, to many he is still considered a titan. The Shi’ar were wise to incorporate him into the Imperial Guard.
The base figure used is unknown as it didn’t come with a head and was fodder from another customizer. The head used was from an X-men morph. Sculpted the neck, which didn’t come out very well, but what is a neck supposed to look like anyway? Also sculpted the boot bands, glove bands, waist bands, head band and hair. Painted head to toe and sealed.](userimages/customs/14500/14032-1.jpg) Titan X-Menby Gambit4HireTitan towers over his friends and enemies.

This changeling has the ability to alter his appearance into any human or non-human form. He is an important member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard.
The figure started out as an X-men Gambit and with the removal of the waistband and upper chest band, the shapeshifting was already underway. Kept the boots as they provided some interest to the figure. Sculpted new chest, waist, shoulder flaps and head. Originally was going to use a cut up paperclip with some sculpt for the antennas but they wouldn’t stay, so copied fastfreddie’s approach in using pushpins. Painted head to toe, added the jewels (as did fastfreddie) around the neck and sealed in matte finish.](userimages/customs/14500/14031-1.jpg) Hobgoblin X-Menby Gambit4HireHobgoblin – not to be confused with the Hobgoblin from the Spiderman comics is from a race a shapeshifters.

![[Princess Lilandra Neramani] Princess Lilandra Neramani is the sister of Lady Deathbird and Emperor D’Ken. Princess Lilandra is rightous while the other two are down right evil. Wonder what happens at the holiday family reunions? Lilandra has a telekinetic link to Professor X and calls him and the X-men to her aid in a time of need. Trouble begins when Juggernaut is called in to capture Lilandra and hold her for ransom. Lilandra is a recreated verson from the 90’s X-men cartoon.
Made from a Psylocke body. Removed hair, sculpted new “hair” along with the arms and boots to remove the arm and leg bands. Removed the waistband and sculpted the torso smooth. Painted head to toe and sealed in matte finish. This Lilandra custom is dedicated to the memory of my dear friend Heidi who recently passed away.](userimages/customs/14500/14030-1.jpg) Princess Lilandra Neramani X-Menby Gambit4HirePrincess Lilandra Neramani is the sister of Lady Deathbird and Emperor D’Ken.

This is my attempt to recreate the deadly foe as he was presented in the 90’s X-men cartoon.
From the neck down Archangel was the best choice to be used for his slender body and the head is from Sunfire. Removed back wings and wing mechanism and sculpted a new back. Removed ponytail and sculpted new “hair” and goatee with slight beard. Pinted figure head to toe. Used green, light green and black fabric for the vest/cloak and gems placed around the figure’s neck. The wings which are removable were made with white fabric and red wire glued onto the edges. Ultra fine sharpie pen was used for the wing details.](userimages/customs/14000/13653-1.jpg) D'Ken X-Menby Gambit4HireEmperor D’Ken is probably one of the most evil of all villans in the X-men universe.

![[Starbolt] Starbolt is another member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard. His powers are similar to the Fantastic Four Human Torch (flames on body and flies around). I used Iceman for the base and at first was going to eliminate the iceballs in each of his hands. Then thought, what the heck, why not incorporate them into the figure. The result is a molten rock fireball, one full of flames ready to be thrown and the other still in it’s early forming stage.
Shaved off boot cuffs as they seemed too big and silly looking. Sculpted new boots, many flames, the small red hair mohawk, and the unitard (I think that is what it’s called). Painted the entire figure head to toe.](userimages/customs/14000/13626-1.jpg) Starbolt X-Menby Gambit4HireStarbolt is another member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard.

I actually wasn’t planning on making her until later, but waiting for other customs to dry and was inspired by the several Dust figures I saw come out recently here on FigureRealm. So I made my own interpretation of Dust.
The base figure is from an unknown figure. Had left over black material so it was fashioned into a few separate pieces which were sewn together then finally used the glue gun to make the headpiece and the main outfit come together just right.](userimages/customs/13500/13463-1.jpg) Dust X-Menby Gambit4HireDust is part of the New X-men team.

![[Hussar] Hussar is one bad, bold and beautiful member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard. Her whip has the ability to shock an individual’s nervous system into paralysis. Not sure which race she is from, but her red skin and bright yellow hair make her a standout in any crowd.
Sculpted the hair on her calves and lower elbows. Used rubber bands for the arm and leg bands. Saw fastfreddie’s Hussar figure and used the same type of stretchy gold band for the whip. Attached a piece of masking tape to the end for the handle and painted it gold. Repainted the figure head to toe. I really enjoyed making this figure as she is my best to date.](userimages/customs/13000/12767-1.jpg) Hussar X-Menby Gambit4HireHussar is one bad, bold and beautiful member of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard.

Earthquake’s abilities are similar to Avalanche, where he can cause tremors in the ground. He is rather alien looking and muscular which I tried to duplicate in this custom. I haven’t seen another Earthquake figure custom or otherwise made yet, so I hope you like him and other customizers make their version of Earthquake.
Used a Spiderman figure and sculpted head and face similar to pics I have of Earthquake. Repainted entire figure and added definition to the muscles.](userimages/customs/13000/12766-1.jpg) Earthquake X-Menby Gambit4HireEarthquake is one of the original Shi’ar Imperial Guard members to battle the X-men over the M’Kraan Crystal.

![[Manta] The first time I saw Manta was in the X-men 90’s cartoon, and thought she was really a cool character. I’ve been wanting to make her from some time, and finally she has arrived. In the cartoon, she opens her cloak and a powerful blast is emitted from the inside of the cape. Manta is another original Shi’ar Imperial Guard member. I think this may be the first Manta figure here on FigureRealm, so all you X-men/Shi’ar Imperial Guard fans are challenged to make one too!
I used a Storm figure as the base, shaved off the hair and resculpted the head/mask added gloves and refinished the boots. Painted her head to toe. For the cape I head sewn the cape black on the back and yellow on the inside. I’m very pleased with the way it turned out especially considering I never sewn anything before.](userimages/customs/13000/12765-1.jpg) Manta X-Menby Gambit4HireThe first time I saw Manta was in the X-men 90’s cartoon, and thought she was really a cool character.

Their planet was invaded by the merciless Shi'ar Empire, and these peaceful aliens were defeated. The surviving M'kraan's fled deep into an unrevealed quadrant of space. There they dedicated the rest of their time to gaining revenge on their sworn enemy and regaining what was rightfully theirs, the M'kraan Crystal. The hate and rage grew in them, to the point that they changed their name to the Scy'ar tal, meaning death to the Shi'ar. The M'kraan Crystal is also the object of Emperor D'Ken's obscession. He was willing to destroy a billion star systems including our own in order to harness the power of the M'kraan Crystal. Only Jean Grey was able to stop the madness of D'Ken but at the cost of her own life.
Not really an action figure, but important enough in the X-men universe to be labeled as one of the most important items requiring some form of recognition.

Used the head of one, the hair from another for the tail and body of a third. Drilled a hole in the back and put the tail in. Removed the headpiece from the hair line and replaced with a sculpted headband. I was going to make the ears on the side as the photo below, but I liked the kitty cat look Wings made on his Hepzibah figure. Originally I was afraid that the hair piece and ears would make her look too much like Scarlet Witch. I think the triangle indenting on the ears along with the color variations make her more like Hepzibah, and not Scarlet Witch. The Storm figure used did not even have enough boot length to stand up on it’s own, so I added a little sculpt to the heels. Everything painted except the blue on the jeans.](userimages/customs/8000/7533-1.jpg) Hepzibah X-Menby Gambit4HireUsed three different Storm figures.

![[Leech] Deep in the Morlock tunnels is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, oops I mean Leech. This is my first custom.
Removed shell, trimmed belly, feet, head, and back. Sculpted face, ears, hat, front and back shirt, jeans, belt, and shoes. I wanted to make a cross between Shinobitron’s Leech and the picture provided below. From Shinobitron’s I liked the jeans and casual dress look as well as the mini figure. From the picture, I liked the more rounded eyes and cute face with the baseball cap. I liked the unique look of the hands from the TMNT so I left them. Painted entire figure from head to toe.
I know my sculpting could be much better, but I messed up on sculpting too many parts at the same time. Thanks to everyone who helped with advice on Figure Realm.](userimages/customs/8000/7524-1.jpg) Leech X-Menby Gambit4HireDeep in the Morlock tunnels is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, oops I mean Leech.
