Tonight I present Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 Mandarin complete with removable aviators, rifle, *In Chaos We Trust Cape*, and stand!
Well Ben Kingsley sure did a great job in his role as Mandarin! And as he threatened in the trailers, You'll never see me coming.
Started with a Nick Fury body and Gandalf arms, sewed up a hooded robe for him too! Fully sculpted head and I scratch built some aviators for him and made that cool cape he had in the promotional shots. I had to take some liberties with the graphics on the cape, but much of it is accurate.
Many more pics can be found in the auction listing, so go check them out!
The Mandarin was built using the finest acrylics, enamels, and lacquer paints and fully sealed for protection. The robe and hood are fabric, as is the sash. There are sculpted details including the vest and even the embroidered dragon on his left leg. He features details such as his ten r](userimages/customs/49500/49494-1.jpg) The Mandarin |

![[Custom NECA Mandarin 'CYCLONUS' Predator] This Predator was created to represent my name... CYCLONE... but in Predator form. The idea behind him was that he would be an Ancient, one of the original Predators that developed the honor system, and rules of the hunt.
He did most of his hunting in ancient china mostly using bladed weapons in favor of the shoulder cannon, due to it being more challenging and fair to the less technological prey.
During one of his hunts, he came about a demon (Mandarin Spawn) that was killing all of his formidable prey using powers that were unknown to him, as well as his prey. He stalked the demon, observing it's moves, techniques, and powers. He finally decided to challenge the Demon one on one, hand to hand...
After claiming his trophy, he kept some of the demon's armor and weapons as a sign of respect and honor.
The base figure was a NECA Stalker Predator. The head is from a NECA Elder Predator. The armor is from a classic Predator, with parts from a Mandarin Spawn figure.

![[Mandarin] Continuing on with my collection of 90's themed customs. I give you THE MANDARIN. I couldn't let Iron Man just roam around without his arch nemesis. Just as he was shown in the 90's Iron Man cartoon. Recipe: Head- MU Namor casted head with sculpted hair. Body- Iron Man 2 Silver Centurion Armor. Removed the jet pack and removed the triangle unibeam. I added some fodder on the torso and the belt/loincloth/leg armor was made from fodder/Gi Joe Iron Grenadier Armor and sculpt for the loin cloth. I used plastic styrine for the symbol. hen Hands- Iron Man 2 Comic Series Mandarin (when I removed the Iron Man hands I relized the pegs were different sizes so I added sculpt to fill the gap) Boots- for the top of the boots I added pieces of plastic styrine and I sculpted the sides of the boots as well. For the ring's blast effect I heated up and melted a plastic sipping straw (lol) Cape- Modified MU Thor cape. Thanks for viewing.

I didn't do much, just chopped off the neck and refitted the neck and head with magnets, painted the head to match and reshaped the hands to get them to fit into the energy blasts. this recipe could really be taken up a notch with a full repaint, but this was just a time killer for me, and the figure looks cool on the shelf, better than that weird rubber gown thing and better than the Red Skull body I was using before, plus now I can recycle that body!](userimages/customs/40000/39795-1.jpg) Mandarin |

"The Bronze One" as he, or "it" is called, was a warrior during the Ming Dynasty. He was born nothing but a peon, but quickly rose up ranks showing immense talent on the battlefield. One battle recorded, the soldier was cut, stabbed, trampled, and burned. However, it is told that he survived. This story caught the eye of the emperor, and he was awarded title of commander of the emperors Bronze Army, the single most powerful force of the time. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, stories of the "Bronze One" fell as well. However, stories in Histories ranging from Norse Mythology to Native American folklore depict a soldier who never falls such as this story. Is it the same being who traveled the world to fight? Are there many of these "immortals"? Is "The Bronze One" alive today? We do not know, but we believe there are people who indeed do.

![[Mandarin] Hay again.
These LOTR figs have great potential. This one had Mandarin written all over him. I took the figure and cut up the sides of the skirts and sculpted hair and brows. I had a metal piece of craft something or other and glued it to his chest. It looked intricate. Then I painted layers of green and dark green, and trimmed the clothes and the armor in gold. The cape is cloth, slightly poseable via my fold-hold method using fabric sealer, and trimmed in a gold braid that has wire inside it--which helps posing. Lastly I painted like makeup over his eyes, liel they used to have I nthe old-school Kung Fu movies. Let me know what you think!](userimages/customs/23000/22683-1.jpg) Mandarin Marvel Legendsby fitzjediHay again.

Been a while since my last custom as I got sick. Got a lot of new finished ones to post and we'll start with this one. He's got more rings than Michael Jordan, more evil-looking mustache than Freddie Mercury and even sicker martial arts skills than Kwan-Chung-Yoeow (I just made that up). Who else but the ringed dude with an attitude... Mandarin! Here he sports his classic, Kirby-style costume (classic Kirby pose too on second pic :D). Made with a Wolvie head on a CapCold body. Individually sculpted rings too :D. Later added a customer-requested, modified Dr.Strange cape just because it looks cool :D. He comes in a batch of villains for a friend in the US. Hope you like him guys! God bless.

![[Mandarin] I don't know why but I had, to make this character when I saw him. I made this mandarin out of mr. Fantastic which I believe is one of the best bases for marvel bad guys. This figure just always has a sinister evil look. This mandarin is acutlly the original look he had in the old comics. This custom has a hand sculpted helmet, bracelet, and foamy rings, because apoxie just doesn't stick that well to plastic when it's a little dot. Plus I don't know why I just like the foam better for the rings, I think it draws more attention to the power in his hands. Hope you all like him, and as always feedback is welcomed.
