You ever make a figure, love it, and feel like you can put the character behind you? But then some time goes by, and you want to remake it, just so you can show it off again? Yeah, that's pretty much what happened here. There are a lot of designs I want to revisit and get right, but Silver Sable is one of those I was quite happy with, but just want to remake anyway. And make little improvements here and there where I could.

Head and hair were both casts from AvacsLab. But the head originates from Black Widow/Gamora, and the hair is Rogue. Much easier to dremel into a cast head than the official one though. Enough to make it fit properly, at least. Sculpted on the headband. Sculpted the boots, belt, leg strap, holster, gloves, and arm bands. And then sculpted those weird metal pieces on the belt and bands. From there, a full repaint, and all done!

Sweet, very nice, clean work. And, yeah, I've kind of been "stuck" on doing multiple versions of the original Marvel Comics Valkyrie for a few years. It started with not being satisfied with my early attempts at upgrading the Hulkbuster wave figure, then it was doing her original design, which I've revisited several times, from there I did a few of her other outfits and alternate designs, some of which took a turn and ended up becoming their own thing. After seeing that someone did a Skrull Valkyrie, I had to do my own take on the concept, while all the different alternate universe/timeline stories I've read, along with aspects of the character's own backstory, led to me doing some character mashups, such as Storm with the classic Valkyrie outfit, braids, a sword and lightning effects, and I've been considering doing a green-skinned She-Hulk/gamma powered version for a while now. And just recently, while working on a different project using parts from the Legends Puma, and someone else using the figure to make a custom Werewolf By Night, I got the crazy idea to do a werewolf Val (basically as a distraction since I'd hit a dead end on the other custom) and ended up really liking how it turned out. At this point I've probably done around two dozen customs of the character, I've done others, but there's just something about the basic Valkyrie design that easily lends itself to adjustments, alterations and embelishments which make her fun to repeatedly return to, also doesn't hurt that I have a box full of the Hulkbuster figure from when you could easily pick them up for ten bucks or less.
