This is Vulcan from Deadly Genesis. Vulcan's the long-rumored third Summers brother and has the mutant ability to manipulate energy. He's also an omega level mutant and he's been more than a match for a whole team of X-men as well as the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. I think right now he's theoretically dead from a battle with Black Bolt, but Black Bolt made it back and there's a good chance Vulcan will too sometime.
Anyways, this is him in his "Lost X-men" uniform. Rest of the team to come!
!!!LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!! Cool all around, just one question that isn´t ´bout your custom. I don´t have any of these figures but from what I´ve seen on the internet - Aren´t Daredevil human torch and ben reilly spider-man same body molds?
The Reilly Spidey's an entirely different mold, and the DD/torch are similar but have a lot of different parts. They were all sculpted by the same guy though.
I liked the Vulcan character for some reason and hated to see them make him evil in the comics. I liked how he took out several members of the Shi'ar Guard. this is perfect as usual!
Vulcan is not a favorite character of mine, however, I absolutely LOVE this figure. You did absolutely amazing work on the figure. Kudos. Question, though...whose head did you use?
Human Torch! Actually the fists, thighs, feet and head were all from Torch while the other parts were from Daredevil to lessen paint rub on the red parts of the costume. I sculpted the hair and resculpted the upper torso a bit though.
great take on a sweet character raybot, flawless as usual,your paints are perfect for the legends line of figures,you really do make them fit in with the other legends,I dig that!you got skillz! great job man!
Wow - I don't know if you were monitoring this submission but you were getting trolled like crazy last night (probably one guy posting under two different screen-names). Good job mods on keeping this place positive. Don't sweat it Raybot - if someone's going out of their way to hate on your work that much it means you're doing something right! Envy is ugly. Nice work as always brother!
Ah what the heck. I'll take the bait...You are certainly entitled to your opinion Zoolalala. But where are your customs? It's pretty easy to stand on the sidelines and hurl negativity towards someone else's efforts when you're not at risk of being judged yourself, huh? Here is an awesome quote for you to chew on (and hopefully think over) about the nature of critics from the late great Theodore Roosevelt: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
And yea, actually I was online. Just did the right thing and hit the report abuse button. Glad to see it worked (thanks mods!). Thought I was done dealing with this guy a year ago! Really feel bad for the mods since they're gonna see me hitting the report abuse button so often. Guy never quits (except for customizing). Dunno who he thinks he's fooling with his new spam accounts though. I LOVE the way his new one just suddenly now agrees with posts deleted before he even registered.
Figure'd I'd take the high road and just let him implode and get himself banned like usual. At least he isn't blasting me weekly on his hateful (and now thankfully blank) blog anymore. Every conversation seemed to end in some insanely delusional and often racist rant anyways. I'd encourage anybody to just not really engage the guy or just also hit the report abuse button. No reason you all need to get trolled . Seems like I'm just going to have to deal with the brunt of it.
Really grateful for the support from all you guys though. It's a nice place here and no single jerk can ruin that.
just recently learned about the character from other customs and love your info. As for the fig, totally off the charts for spot on epicness. love the shading detail, works perfectly.
