![[DC Universe Infinite Heroes Bronze Age Original Pa] This is a quite simple but much needed custom. I had read the classic Marvel/ DC Crossover comic, Superman And Spider-Man, and I liked the way they portrayed the Parasite. His colors were simple, his shape was simple, like a man who was burned by radiation. I noticed that the infinite heroes Shadow Demons sitting in the toy box closely resembled him, so I played on that. I actually used academic level acrylic with a light brush over with water to get a shading effect. It looks good, but the figure feels stickier to the touch for some reason, even after I covered him with multiple coats of lacquer. He can be handled quite a bit, but this guy is best as a collector piece.](userimages/customs/33000/32565-1.jpg) DC Universe Infinite Heroes Bronze Age Original Pa DC Infinite Heroesby 1kobocopThis is a quite simple but much needed custom.

My love for these movies flooded back, I felt great emotion. I really loved the evil characters of the Phantom Zone villains, and how Superman would have been defeated if he did not quickly outsmart them. I have a love for figures in the 3.75 inch size, because that is what I had when I was a kid. I bought the Infinite Heroes Superman for my son. People complain that this line doesn't feature enough articulation, but I say it is just enough because they are much sturdier than Marvel Universe figs. So I thought that generally the current selection of Superman villains in this size was almost non existent. How many times can you use Lex Luthor? So I got an idea when I saw a fig that slightly resembled Zod. I had never made a custom fig before, and hesitated for days to get it. When I did, and made it, I was so pleased with the result that I bought two more figs to make into NON and URSA.

![[Spider-Man Fiercest Foes Toxic Blast Venom W Custo] This is a basic custom accessory for a good basic Venom figure. I was inspired with the idea for a custom sculpted floor tentacle when I played Marvel VS. Capcom, The tentacle is one of Venom's moves. I used a regular figure stand base, then added Aves Apoxy sculpt to it, holding the tentacle in form with aluminum foil. I would not recommend this method in the future, it was super hard to get the delicate, skinny sculpt to keep from wilting, one of my complaints about aves sculpt. Next time I would use a base wire to sculpt on. When I did get it dry, I painted it with Model Master Acryl gloss black and added highlights of academic level dark blue acrylic paint to match Venom's suit. I sealed it with overcoat spray. I was hoping that it would be pliable, but it is quite brittle, however it holds 3.75" scale Spider-Man up very nicely!](userimages/customs/32500/32377-1.jpg) Spider-Man Fiercest Foes Toxic Blast Venom W Custo Spider-Manby 1kobocopThis is a basic custom accessory for a good basic Venom figure.

His paint was worn, the silver on the eyes was almost non visible. I actually like the original sculpt of the Spider-Man movie Venom, however, I really dislike the gray scale faded colors they went with. One of the many side effects to the way they crammed him into the third movie. In my opinion, Venom is a popular enough character to carry a trilogy of movies on his own without the presence of Spider-Man, but let's leave that debate for another website. What bothered me the most was the awful pale pinkish-rouge that they colored his mouth and tongue with. Well, pulling from suggestions from movie critics, and my own senses, I repainted him with Model Master Paint. I used enamel (because I bought enamel by mistake instead of acryl) Guard red on his mouth and tongue. I used Model Master Acryl Gloss White on his teeth, eyes, and Venom chest symbol. I then applied Model Master Gloss Lacquer Overcoat to him, and I am really happy with how i](userimages/customs/32500/32376-1.jpg) Marvel Legends Spider-Man Sandman Series Movie VEN Marvel Legendsby 1kobocopI had received this guy in a bulk lot of figures.
