    Angel - First Appearance, Uncanny X-Men

    This was my first ever superhero custom. I lucked into another Angel late last month, and thought of doing this immediately! The figure lent itself very easily to the process, and with a head & hand swap, plus some minor sculpting I felt it was a dead ringer! Well that and a nice wash to the...

    Outback

    So this, as a WIP, was originally going to be Clutch, but then I decided that Outback needed some love that wasnt the Monkeywrench or Snowjob head. Thus from the parts and ashes of the old idea he arose like the phoenix to salvage a good part selection! Anywho... The read of his hair was...

    Tiger Force Dusty

    Dusty has always been my favorite joe. I honestly believe it was because of the flap on the back of the helmet. As a kid I know I thought that was the coolest thing! Ive had this one sitting for a LONG time. Its all from an extra 25th Dusty I had laying about. Tiger Force Dusty was the first...

    MU Nightcrawler

    This was a quick repaint and accessorized custom. I finally found the Age of X or whatever version of Nightcrawler that came in the most recent MU line. With that I took it upon myself to return him to the proper colors of the past. Admittedly there was one made like this in the past lines but I...

    Cobra Eel

    Id like to give a shout to XOC2008 for the inspiration that brought this custom into being. Now, while his was an LBC I myself wanted to bring a bit more of that vintage eel feel into the mix. I did this by painting grey on the wetsuit, and giving him the red aquaviper harness from the ROC...

    Joe Urban Night-Ops Trooper

    Well, I had a few ARAH parts that decided to come together nicely for this. I wanted to take a step back to the roots of joe customs and do one up jogun and tim style...it has been a while. Anywho, this character is just the basic NIght Force version of the greenshirt. Recipe: Head: Ace v.1...

    Black-Out squad Stinger

    the reception of the launcher, while generally favorable, has been hit or miss. I will admit that it needs a guard plate to protect the gunner.
