You might notice that she does have one and a half cybernetic arms, but I feel that since the rest of them are organic, she should qualify.
Anyway, the bulk of her comes from Mystique. A simple paint job took care of most of the figure. The helmet's from Silver Samurai, and although I'm aware it looks a bit weird, I went through live five different ways to apply it and trust me, this came out the best.
All of the arms are Mystique's, cannibalized from two others in addition to the one used as a base. The last component was the fur-stuff on her legs, which is just cotton.](userimages/customs/46500/46192-1.jpg) Spiral Marvel vs Capcomby ninjinisterAlthough I had intention of making this before I heard of the Alienated Anatomy contest, but once it was announced, I decided to follow through.

![[Spiral Marvel] SPIRAL:
Spiral's real name is Rita Wayword, better known as 'Ricochet Rita', a professional stuntwoman who befriended Longshot when he first appeared on Earth. Rita was attacked by her evil, future self which led to her meeting Longshot and falling in love with him. After holding her prisoner, Mojo forced his chief scientist, Arize, to perform extreme physical and mental body modifications onto Rita to recreate her into a loyal subordinate. These experiments left her with six arms (two of which are robotic), turned her hair grey, and She does, however, possess incredible physical combat abilities, using a multitude of weapons utilizing her six arms.
ABOUT THE CUSTOM FIGURE:
I could not think of a better MARVEL character who uses several swords and blade weapons than SPIRAL.I chopped 2 O-brien action Figures to get extra arms and drilled and attached them to a She Hulk action figure. Changed her head as well. O Brien had long chin so I need to chisel it a bit to soften her features.](userimages/customs/45500/45492-1.jpg) Spiral Marvel Marvel Iconby cuztomizaSPIRAL:

I think I had a boy-crush on both characters, and the Art Adams artwork really made both err... pop?! Anyhow, this is a very simple repaint of the "gold" variant Hasbro ML Spiral using all Citadel and DecoArt blends. Though this is an awesome base figure I highly recommend, the paint detail was extremely lacking especially on the variant. I feel I truly made her gold. I did several hours of extremely watery black wash over all parts of the figure and accessories (sans the limbs) along with a *very* slight one on the limbs. Once I had the textures the way I wanted, I began painting most of the gold parts with multiple coats of gold blend dry brush strokes. I performed a secondary wash on any areas I wasn't happy with and repeated the gold blend dry brush as needed. Finally, I hit her hair and "ugg" boots with two more dry brush passes in go](userimages/customs/41500/41379-1.jpg) Spiral Marvel Legendsby terryzomTo be honest, I've really dug this character along with Psylocke since Uncanny X-Men Annual #10 came out waaaaaay back in 1987.

![[Spiral-Mecha] Really not into Robotic-Mecha customizing but just want to test my Flexibility as a customizer so I did this SPIRAL-MECHA Project.. Really hell of work in doing a Mechanized Character. I mean you pull everything together, mix and matched Materials and make sure all the stuff you used will all be in sync likewise stick to the idea of Mechanized Vs. Cyborginated.
Body: Mecha spawn character repainted and sanded and sculpted the upper body
Head: Lady Wrestler sculpted the helmet and accessorized it
Limbs: Aside From the Mecha Spawn Limbs I added Mistique arms, added ML Doc Octopus limbs on her back
Added: Additional Swords, Amor - Claws,Axes etc..
Legs: Instead of Spirals original furry leg warmer I used chains since she is supposed to be mechanized and metallic
Paints:Metalllic mix.. Silver Mixed with Blue, Used Gold a bit to highlight because it was too dull if its just Blue and Silver All over..
Articulations; ALOT..

This six-armed-swordswoman is an extremely formidable opponent in the comics but she needed more articulation to be as formidable in plastic. Her lower waist section was modded to fit Maria Hill's legs/hips which were added. Pockets were swapped and then I thought, why use the old boot fur when I can make new? I used the fur from a christmas stocking and trimmed it to wrap around her ankles. A quick paintjob later and Spiral can pose a lot better for those dance moves!](userimages/customs/34000/33559-1.jpg) Spiral Marvel Legendsby Jin SaotomeHey look, Spiral!

![[Spiral] This custom was sitting half done since I bought Spiral when she first came out, deciding to finish it off is what got me back in to customising this last month.
She was basically a great figure anyway, I just felt she needed a few tweaks.
I gave the arms the wrist bending articulation that was missing, this involved several different techniques; some hands I just swapped out with figures like the ML 2 pack Elektra, others I cut in and made the joint myself and others I grafted hand parts I wanted on to joints from other bits. She can now bend and twist all her wrists in one joint.
I don't really like all the passive serene faces that all the ML ladies seem to have and Spiral especially needed to look more like she was up to no good, so I cut out her mouth region and resculpted a grin/smile/grimace. It worked out easier and better than I had hoped.
The katana is from ML Elektra, the dagger is from SOTA BtVS Buffy and the scimitar is Spiral's, I just shaved it down to look sharper](userimages/customs/20500/20215-1.jpg) Spiral Marvel Legendsby BaijiThis custom was sitting half done since I bought Spiral when she first came out, deciding to finish it off is what got me back in to customising this ...1 comments | ![[MvC2 Spiral] The Marvel Legends Spiral was the best thing to come out of the Target Exclusive Red Hulk line! A great sculpt combined with excellent paint work, durable joints, and articulation! There's a variant of her but still she needed a little work before you could have a true MvC2 Spiral. So I added a proper bionic half-arm from another Spiral and repainted her to be a bit more game-sprite-specific especially where the boots/metal parts were concerned.

![[Ultimate Spiral] Was really digging HML Spiral... but was totally bummed that she didn't have
all that lovely TB articulation in her arms. Ryan set to work to correct
this, luckily no figures were disarmed in the making of this figure.
For any collectors out there: I modified the sculpt on her Ultimate version
so it would match the Hasbro release, so it's kinda of a third "variant."
Base: I think it's Elektra, not sure which one tho - it was all white when
Ryan handed her to me for paint/sculpt.
Head: Elektra, with AF hair @ crown and bangs
Extra arms: fodder from various ladies
Boots: fur created with AF
Weapons: two are from Elektra, and the others are from fodder bin.](userimages/customs/11000/10750-1.jpg) Ultimate Spiral Marvel Legendsby ivorygleamWas really digging HML Spiral... but was totally bummed that she didn't have

![[Spiral] Spiral's real name is Rita Wayword, a.k.a 'Ricochet Rita', a professional stuntwoman who befriended Longshot when he first appeared on Earth. The story of how Rita became Spiral is a paradox: Rita was attacked by her evil, future self which led to her meeting Longshot and falling in love with him. When Longshot sought to return to his home dimension, the Mojoverse, the lovestruck Rita went with her boyfriend, only to watch Longshot fail and be captured alongside him by the dimension's evil overlord, Mojo. Longshot was promptly mindwiped to forget all about Rita, while a much worse fate was left for Rita.
After holding her prisoner for several years (at which point Rita was made to serve as guardian for Mojo's army of "X-Babies"), Mojo forced his chief scientist, Arize, to perform extreme physical and mental body modifications onto Rita to recreate her into a loyal subordinate. These experiments left her with six arms (some of which are robotic), turned her hair grey, and dro](userimages/customs/3000/2794-1.jpg) Spiral | ![[Spiral] Good day folks. Since i saw the perfect spiral custom done by a certain customizer at fwoosh, i forgot his name but darn he's good, he used a lara croft base body.
and a little bit of inspiration on myke's hobby_master studios' spiral last philippine toycon, i have to do my own spiral too. Thanks to them i had ideas on how to make one. This custom is basically made of ml elektra. Drilled her shoulders and side torso to insert 4 more arms. The black arms came from ml black cat. Since i'm not needing her body nemor.
pouches came from ml bullseye, swords from ml elektra, ml deadpool and lotr figs. The really hard part of this is the fur on her legs. I mashed up bits of epoxy clay, then one by one stuck it to the surface and added the detail. Man, it took a long while before i finished it.](userimages/customs/3000/2590-1.jpg) Spiral X-Menby rateegGood day folks.
