    And maybe, depending on the coloring, we can use some of the Chima cheetah's parts to add printing into the deal too! :D

    My apologies. The way it's written, your comment is a bit spoilery as well, so I thought it was just that you didn't know the actor's name or any previous movies, which is why I stepped in. :P I've since edited my original comment, and I think you should too.

    Other than the official figure, and/or non purism, there are only a few ways to achieve Deadshot's helmet, none of which I personally think are satisfactory or do justice to the character, but I digress. First: Using a "one-eyed" Lego face of your choice, and covering it with a plain helmet of your choice. Second: Using a head of your choice and either of these two Ninjago headwrap things. Third: Using a head of your choice and Cyborg's helmet. or, and this one is my personal favorite . . . Fourth: Use any of the red eyed skulls, (the non-Ninjago one is best), and cover half of it with a white helmet, like so. As for Deathstroke? That figure is perfect. 'Nuff said. I'm just curious. Why are you making purist versions of figures that TLG has already made?

    I haven't personally tried this, but the actor who plays Ares in the film, also played There was a figure made of that character a few years ago, which can be seen here. (Linked image may contain spoilers. Open at your own risk.) He is so it might be a bit of a stretch, but I think that with the right mods, it could work. As for the helmet and armor, we have this helmet (Again, linked image may contain spoilers. Open at your own risk.) that looks like it might do the trick, and I'm sure there's some armor combos out there that'll work. I like your idea! My copy of said figure is a tad indisposed at the moment, and I'm not sure I want a permanent DCEU Ares, but I hope someone does this and takes pictures!

    I didn't mean anything by it, just that the DCEU head might work with the alternative hair that I suggested if you didn't mind making him look more like comics Steve than DCEU Steve. Glad that my suggestions helped; you're very welcome.

The Star-Lord/Captain America: Civil War hair can fix that if you want too.

  8. No problem at all! Hope it all works out for you in the end. :) Happy building. - The Big Red Cheese
  9. Happy to help! Shucks. :( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In nicer news, I can now confirm that the winged eagle head helmet (A.K.A. the Flying Warrior helmet) does work with the long, knotted beard (A.K.A. the Vitruvius beard). I dug my Vitruvius figure out of storage while I was looking for another unrelated brick, and figured I'd test the helmet-beard combo while I had both of them out and about. See for yourself:

    Thanks! I will probably be making her now! :) I think I want to make a classic version first, as I don't own one mayor yet, let alone two, but I will. :) Thanks for the idea!
  11. I do not have the Medusa hair, so I can't show you what it looks like with the medium-short beard. I do, however, have both the winged eagle head helmet (A.K.A. the Flying Warrior helmet) and the rounded end beard (A.K.A. the Gandalf beard). Together, they look like this: As you can see, the helmet does not attach properly, and just sits on top of the beard. Surprisingly enough, the reason that it doesn't fully connect is due to the edges of the visible beard itself, not because of the loop through which the beard connects to the neck peg, as I initially suspected. As you suggested, I tried the helmet with the fancy beard (A.K.A. the Sensei Wu beard) and as you can see below, it works fine! I can not speak for the long, knotted beard (A.K.A. the Vitruvius beard), because mine is not handy, but based on the pictures available via Bricklink, and as seen here, I think that it will work fine. I also tried the winged eagle head helmet with the moustache, the bandanna, and the short beard (A.K.A. the unkempt, and nigh CMF exclusive beard [] ) all of which have the exact same connection method as the other beards, albeit with slightly different molds. While the moustache and the bandanna work fine*, while the other beard does not. See for yourself: Unfortunately, this has led me to think that the helmet will not work with a number of the currently produced Lego beards, as they all seem to be of a similar width, and possess the same edges. :( Hopefully, I'm wrong, and someone on this thread who has the the winged eagle head helmet and some other beard(s) besides Wu's/Vitruvius', can show us pictures that prove otherwise. :D *Note: The helmet does not connect one hundred percent correctly with the bandanna, due to the bandanna's beard-like edges. However, it does still click onto the head's connection point, and it will stay tight if you don't touch it. I noticed a slight warping of the helmet because of the way that it must stretch to accommodate the edges of the bandanna . If you want to use both accessories, only do so for short periods of time, if at all. All in all, I hope that this was helpful, and happy building! :) - The Big Red Cheese

    Can you post a link? The ones I found switch to live action as they mention the scenes.

    Nice job across the board! I especially love that use of light bley walkie-talkie. :)

    Nice job across the board, but I just have to say that there's something about that Nightwing is EXCEPTIONAL though, almost like he was plucked straight from a comic book. Excellent job capturing that look.

    Can anybody recognize this non-official piece?

    Shucks! Sorry I couldn't be of any help. :(

    I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like some of the stuff I've seen put out by Si-Dan Toys.

    Welcome to the forum! I can't guarantee 100% accuracy, as they're not my figures, but this is what I got from the page you linked to. If anything, it's more likely that it's the right part, but in the wrong color. In any case, good luck, and happy building! That user has also since updated his Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. figures. They can be seen here. - TheBigRed Cheese L-R Mockingbird: Hair Head Torso Assembly - With these hands Hips and Legs Sticks (x2) Lincoln: Hair Head Torso Assembly Hips and Legs Lightning Bolt May: Hair Head Torso - With these arms and these hands Hips and Legs Coulson: Hair Head Torso Assembly - With these hands Hips and Legs Side Note: Just in case you weren't aware, there is an official Agent Coulson minifigure out there.

    I know that, but given that OP already had them on his figure, I assumed it was an artistic choice, and therefore I was only giving him ideas to keep the color scheme consistent if he so wished. On that note, I was lamenting the fact that TLG doesn't have regular green yellow booted shoes, so my advice became harder to articulate. :) As for yellow soles, I think two yellow 1 X 1 plates underneath his feet would do the trick, if you don't mind the slight height difference that they create. ;) Weather Wizard is actually a fairly easy figure to make, IMO, but the issue is with accuracy. Also, I think his design is so banal, those yellow boots and gloves would be a step up, if they appeared in the comics. :)

    If that's true, there are so many figures that we can make do thanks to those hips! :O I can't wait! EDIT: Also, read the rest of my edited response; there are some tips in there for Mirror Master and Heat Wave as well.

    I know that my post has since been edited, but on that specific note (^), has it been confirmed that the FatB set's legs are the proper shade of green?

    Purist Superhero Figures

    Great job as usual across the board, but I just wanted to dive in a bit deeper than usual because I love the Rogues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Weather Wizard looks pretty good, except for the fact that the bright-green bits clash with the classic green bits. That's TLG's fault, not yours, so if you want to leave it as is, that's fine too. Also, if the color contrast was intentional, my apologies for over dissection. However, if you do want to change it, there are many ways you can go about it. Matching with the torso and against those dual-molded legs with yellow boots ... 1) Replace the arms and hands you have now with green/yellow sleeved arms, and regular yellow hands. 2) Replace the arms and hands you have now with regular green arms and regular yellow hands. As for matching against the torso and with those dual-molded legs with yellow boots ... 1) Replace the arms and hands you have now with bright green/yellow sleeved arms and regular yellow hands. 2) Replace the arms and hands you have now with regular bright green arms and regular yellow hands. As for matching the entire figure ... 1) Replace the torso you have now with the lizard costume torso, and either bright green/yellow sleeved arms and regular yellow hands, or regular bright green arms and regular yellow hands. 2) Replace the torso you have now with the Doctor Octopus torso, and either bright green/yellow sleeved arms and regular yellow hands, or regular bright green arms and regular yellow hands. 3) Replace the torso you have now with the winter jacket torso, and either bright green/yellow sleeved arms and regular yellow hands, or regular bright green arms and regular yellow hands. As for making the boots uniform ... 1) Replace the hips you have now with regular bright green hips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirror Master looks great as well, especially with the new utility belt, and chrome-ish ray gun, but I think the detail on the CMF Joker prisoner legs is just a bit too much for him. I'd recommend regular orange legs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heat Wave looks pretty good, especially with that old school Snow Trooper torso. However, I think that the yellow airtanks and belt clash with him just a bit too much, so I'd recommend white airtanks, and an orange utility belt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Happy building! - The Big Red Cheese
