Hi All,

Recently I've had an urge to start customizing action figures. Been watching a lot of videos and reading a bit about the custom figure culture. I want to attempt my first custom. I recently found a Marvel Legends Nova action figure for $6 bucks so I went for it. I want to use this figure for the start of a custom. Since he is smaller then most Marvel Legends figures, does anyone have any suggestions for a first time customizer. Any ideas on another character I could work the Nova figure into. Hope to incorporate a little sculpting and will of course probably do some type of head swap. I'm open to suggestions and I'm already aware that I will have to go out an probably look for some other pieces to incorporate. Looking forward to seeing if anyone has any ideas.

hey! good decision to start customizing,it's really fun! on the first look I would say maybe judge dredd...?^^ but if you grind it down you could sculpt any character you want to on it grind down what you don't need for the figure you want to do and sculpt on whats missing...you should really better use apoxie than something else because it sticks perfectly to the plastic.I did my first sculpting on a figure with fimo air and it fell off wish you luck and fun,let us see the result greetings

...oh yeah,taking parts from other figures is another and sometimes easier way to get what you want for your custom if you don't want to sculpt much on it.but I think it's more expensive^^
