![[Photon] Monica Rambeau first appeared by the name Captain Marvel, and joined the Avengers. She later changed her name to Photon, then Pulsar, but has apparently reverted back to Photon. All because the original Captain Marvel's son can't get his sh#t together. Don't ask...
This figure started out with a Spider-Woman body and a movie Storm head. Those Man-Hands had to go! I replaced them with Invisible Woman's. I was hung up on how to make the hair. I considered using an ear bud cover like my Power Man, but found a wrestling figure with BIG hair, so I decided to use it. When it came to the cape/arm things, I didn't want to just glue it on. I remembered the old Banshee figure from the 90s, and wanted to try it that way. So, I cracked open the upper torso, glued the cape inside, and cut grooves into the arms, then glued the rest of the cape there. Other costume details from rubber and label tape.
Thanks for looking. Please leave a comment.
take care,

DC Universe Classics Cheetah body
DC Universe Classics Dove fist
Marvel Legends Phoenix head
White cloth
Apoxie Sculpt
The base body for Monica is a DC Universe Cheetah. I used the version of Cheetah that already had black legs to avoid dealing with paint rub in those areas. That Cheetah figure originally had bare feet, so I swapped them for casts of the other Cheetah figures feet. I also gave her a right fist from a DC Universe Dove figure so she can punch the bad guys. The head is a cast of a Toybiz Marvel Legends Phoenix head with sculpted mask and hair. I also sculpted the boot cuffs. The wings (I guess that’s what you call those things) are made of cloth, and are hand sewn. To connect them to the figure, I tried to replicate what Hasbro did with the Banshee figure. I actually made a mold and cast one of the connecting pins from Banshee’s wings. I sewed a pin into each wing to connect them to the torso. The Cheetah figure’s arms were too small](userimages/customs/42000/41963-1.jpg) Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel / Photon Marvel Legendsby Rabid_EwokRecipe:

Originally all of the sculpting was done with sculpy,but as sculpy is very fragile and I have a cat,..I needed to find a more durable option.So the back,nega-bands,shoulder armor,and halo thingy,were re-sculpted in magic-sculpt.I also sculpted the logo on his chest,which was originally made with electrical tape.
I repainted the entire figure metallic blue then dry-brushed silver over it. The head was base coated black and then spattered with a toothbrush. I really dig the Photon character and didn't want to just abandon my first custom.I hope you like the improvements.
Questions or comments would be greatly appreciated.](userimages/customs/21500/21492-1.jpg) Photon Marvel Selectby customapprenticeThis is an updated version of my very first custom.Photon! Originally all of the sculpting was done with sculpy,but as sculpy is very fragile and I ha...0 comments |
