Name:Melinda May
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel
Creator:Senshinokage  
Date Added:March 4, 2015
Base Figure:SOTA Charmed Paige

Melinda May: S.H.I.E.L.D Agent from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Based on actress Ming Na Wen.
Recipe:
Head/hair: ML Hasbro Psylocke, Charmed Paige
Torso/arms/hands: Charmed Paige, sculpt, ML WS Black Widow
Skirt: Modified from Charmed Paige.
Hips/legs/feet: Charmed Paige. Boots modified.

Paints: Testors acrylic

Process:
This is the second custom I’ve completed and I really like the way it turned out.
I think overall this was a much easier custom than my first attempt. Black is so much easier to work with than white! For May, I used a SOTA Charmed Paige figure and sanded down the detail on the figure’s torso. I sculpted the vest with a two part epoxy. The vest could have come out a little better but overall it works. I mixed a custom skin tone for her face and a “S.H.I.E.L.D blue” for her arms. Borrowed some extra hands from Black Widow and she was pretty much done. The likeness isn’t spot on of course because the head wasn’t sculpted in her likeness but I think it’s passable. From an overall stand point I think fans of the show can immediately recognize her. Or at least I hope so.

Articulation:
Double ball-jointed head, ball-jointed shoulders, double hinged elbows, wrist swivels, ball-jointed hips, upper thigh swivel, double hinged knees, lower calf swivel, hinged ankles, toe hinge.

Thanks for taking a look! Comments and critiques are always welcome :)

I really wish that this was a real, mass produced figure. Think of all the lonely Coulson figures out there! She looks amazing!

This is great! I love the use of Paige's hair on Psylocke's head, it really brings together the look, and in general the parts are really well sourced. Now The Cavalry is ready!

Thank you!!! The planning phase took a while on this one but I'm glad the parts came together well. I really like that Paige hair. Wish I knew how to make casts.

There is a shocking lack of love for Agent May around these parts. You did an amazing job on this figure.

Thanks so much! I agree, she needs more love. I did a google search hoping to find more customs of her, but not much came up.

Thank you! The show is pretty good. Season 1 was a little rough until it caught up with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

That is one terrific likeness of my favorite Agent of SHIELD. But of course I am terribly biased. Ehhh, who cares!

Isn't she everyone's favorite SHIELD agent? If she isn't, she should be. Thanks for the compliment. Glad a fan of The Calvary approves!

Thanks so much!!! I wish they'd realize a real figure of her but this will do for now. I'm working on Skye, Ward, and Fitz. I hope to have a full team one day. Thanks again. I'll be on the look out for your Mockingbird.
