Never really liked the DCU suited bodies. They look too skinny. I will probably use this body for all my suited figures.
The shoulders were replaced with a Movie Masters Harvey Dent figure, for more articulation. Sculpt over that to match the arms. The tie is from MM Harvey also and sculpted his collar, then painted it.
The kryptonite was cut from a green lantern accessory.

![[Firelord] Another fiery character. My brother gave me a Ronan series Human Torch figure to make into a Herald of Galactus Firelord figure. Since I had a Movie Human Torch left over from my Binary custom I figured I'd save the pain of dremelling the joints to prevent paint wear.
I used the Movie Human Torch body, the Ronan Human Torch head, forearms, shins, feet, and one hand. The other hand is off a Movie Masters prototype suit batman. Sculpted over the chest, back, belt, glove cuffs, boot cuffs, and a little wrist extensions and some extra flames in the hair to even it out. Still had to dremmel the boot and one of the wrist joints for paint wear. Then painted it up.
The fiery staff is a shish kabob stick. I cut some flame shaped plastic blister packaging and used a glue gun to make it thicker.

I cut her extra back off that protruded because of Spiral's extra arms and molded over it with Apoxie. Then cut Spiral's shins and glued a DCU female shins on and molded over it to level it out. Sculpt was also used on her bangs, her glove, the belt buckle, and her collar.
The sword is from a Spawn Tiffany figure with a sculpted handle so Magik can hold it. The energy effect is from a DCU White Lantern Flash.](userimages/customs/47500/47026-1.jpg) Magik Marvel Legendsby jmaoA commission for Magik.

I used a Spider-Man Classics Mac Gargan Venom Stinger/Tail for the main body. I made the head completely out of apoxie sculpt except for the hinge (so it can open and close) which is the knee from a DC Universe figure. The teeth are made from tooth picks.
The dirt base is from a WWE figure base, which i drilled through to plug the stinger into then used apoxie to sculpt the texture. All the leaves and flowers I got from Michaels as well as the detachable tongue, which is held on via magnet.
For the paint I used Tamiya and Testors acrylics.
Hope you guys like it.](userimages/customs/47500/47008-1.jpg) Triffid Plant Monster Batmanby jmaoWas planning on doing this for a while, then came the contest and it became the perfect excuse to get it done.

I think. Hush has a DC Universe Samurai torso down to his feet. (which is the correct buck). His arms and head are from DC Universe Negative Man. And his hands and trench coat are from Marvel Legends Fantomex. I used wires for the piping on his suit as well as his boots. Basically he has sculpt from his head to his feet. The only part without sculpt is his hands. The pouches are from various ML Longshot, ML Shield Agent, and etc figures. His pistols are from some $5 army figures, which were chosen because he can actually hold them straight with Fantomex's terrible hands. The coat strap and pouch strap are some random fodder. His skirt is made from a SOTA Buffy the Vampire Slayer jacket. His crotch flap was cut out of a random cape, with a telephone cable cut in half for the sections so its still movable.

![[Snowflame] Found out about this guy after my friend told me there was a supervillain that gets his powers from cocaine. One of the most obscure characters ever. Snowflame only appeared in the 2nd issue of New Guardians, where he died at the end. The more coke he uses the more powerful he gets.
Snowflame here is made from a DC Universe Negative Man body. DC Universe Samurai arms and DC Universe Joker head. Sculpt was applied to the head, wristbands, and belt. The boot cuffs are made from plastic blister packaging and since I cut legs off at the boots to add it I figure I'd give him the extra articulation. So he has boot rotation. Then painted him.
[edit] I decided to give him some accessories with the extra apoxie from other figures I'm doing. I made him 3 bricks made from apoxie. The tray is just a hotel key card with apoxie sculpted on top, key card cut into a credit card and a wire for the rolled up dollar.

![[Wrecking Crew Piledriver] Heres a pretty simple custom of Piledriver. I thought I would give him a more traditional look without gloves and bigger hands. So I replaced his gloved hands with some MU Hulk hands which were a little thick so I sculpted some of the outfit forearms to fit. Also sculpted the top of his boots. Then dry brushed the hair, defined the abs, since they were completely blue, painted the forearms and hands, as well as the boots. Also dotted white on the pupils for a little something more.

I bought a couple of these SOTA Buffy the Vampire Slayer figures for another Mary Jane figure and decided to do a Dazzler with one of the extra bodies.
The head and hair is from a Wrestling Beth Phoenix fodder with apoxie sculpted bangs. The jaw has been shaven down to look less sharp. Also sculpted her chest area, her collar, her microphone, wrist bands and disco ball necklace. The string for her necklace is made from a metal wire as well as her arm band. I warped her left hand to be pointed. Added apoxie to her shoulders and sanded down her pants at the waist to try and make it look like a one piece suit.
As for paint, I painted her blue face paint by hand. I tried doing some dry brushing. For her hair I had yellow over brown and white over silver for her suit.
I would have given her some roller skates but it would make her taller than some of the male figures, which I don't like.

![[Dr. Ron Paul] I dont expect anyone in the figure community to follow American politics or even know who Ron Paul is. I support him because he has never taken a money from corporate lobbyists so, he owes nobody special favors. He has a consistent voting record. He wants to end the wars both internationally (middle east especially) and domestic (drug war). And he wants to give the people more responsibility for themselves instead of relying on big government to hand everything to us. He's against the corporate bailouts.. etc... I could ramble on and on, but i wont bore anyone.
anyways the Harvey Dent figure reminded me an awful lot of Dr Paul, so I bought one, re-sculpted the face and hair. then painted the head and tie. easy.

![[Alfred Pennyworth] After seeing Lesternessman's Alfred, I thought I should put my left over Joker to good use. Since I didnt want to spend $20 on a Hush Alfred, I decided to mold the head myself. I used Apoxie Sculpt to sculpt the head, which was pretty fun since I havent made a head out of nothing before. The body is Mad Love Joker. I removed the flower and bolo tie or whatever that is, and filled in the hole. The bow tie was cut out of a piece of plastic. Then painted it.
I bought a tray and tea cup online, which I will photograph with him when I get it.
