Toy Fair showed us a couple of cool Vision figures coming soon, but no updated classic version (which is fine, since there are 2 Legends Classic Visions out there already, though they are totally outdated). Easy remedy, provided that you have a Vision head and cape ready to go, is to take a Hydra Soldier and swap out his ab section and pelvic area with one of the two Bucky Cap based bodies in the TRU Exclusive X-Men set (obviously stripping the paint off the ab section first). Since the Cyke/Angel abs and pelvis are already molded in yellow, you basically end up with an almost instant, no painting required updated Classic Vision! Of course, there are small details you need to add like the black ab lines and chest diamond (pointy boot tips and more rounded yellow midsection optional), but I took care of those with a Gundam marker and yellow pvc tape. Lazy bash customs FTW yo! =)
Thanks for stopping by! Basically, you'll need to crack open the upper torso/chest area of both figures to get them off their ab sections, and you'll need to also crack open the lower pelvis area to free the hips and connector bars from each figure. You can find tutorials for this process in the Figure Realm tutorial section. The trick to it is to not damage the figure when you're opening it up. Experiment on some junkers first until you get comfortable. Good luck!
Wow! I totally had this very same custom in the works! I prefer to avoid painting so the idea of switching out the abs is brilliant! Looks awesome! Good job!
