Loki, God of Mischief (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
alright, so Secret Santa project aside, I've been out of the game for quite some time. Lots of personal family stuff gone awry, plus a pretty lengthy hospital stay... just didn't have it in me to do anything. However, I'm getting a bit of the urge again, so I thought i'd start with something not terribly challenging... also I've sold so much of my fodder that I don't have much to work with. Anyways, the Thor Legends Loki is one of my favorite new figures. All of its newly sculpted parts are really well done, and its of a costume I didn't expect to ever see done, which was a personal favorite of mine. However, the figures short comings are are fairly evident: those legs suck. I've seen some others solutions to it, Ray with repositioning them, and Lanshark with basically replacing the entire body. I don't have the ability to use Rays method, and didn't have the fodder to use Lans, so I went a different direction. I cut in swivels into the thighs, and made pegs out of some screws. I botched the left leg, leaving a pretty sizable gap between the pieces, but thankfully the straps cover it up pretty completely. Did a much better job on the right leg. I figured this was an alright solution since its basically the articulation set up that Hasbro is taking with the new ML figures. Anyways, after that I gave him a full repaint and thats that. Enjoy.  Please wait... |
