[Purist Custom Figures] Ninjago Elemental Alliance

[King_of_Lomadia]

Just figurered I'd do a lttle breakdown on my purist custom elemental masters from the Serpentine Wars/Battle for all Time. For today I've got young Wu, young Garmadon, Libber, Hibernus, Benton and Dusk. I'll also add the Bricklink part ID's below. I mostly went for outfit accuacry rather than colour accuarcy, I guess you could considers these version to be a legacy interpretation. 

Wu and Garmadon were fairly easy to put together. I used the black legacy Wu robe as the base and swapped the arms to purple for Garmadon. Using the older Lloyd head for Garmadon was a no brainer. The angry face for Wu isn't perfect, but smile is almost spot on based on the reference image I used. 

Wu parts:

1. Hair - 62810 tan
2. Head - 3626pb2748
3. Torso - 973pb3398c01
4. Legs - 970c00pb0904

Garmadon Parts:

1. Hair - 61183 dark brown
2. Head - 3626pb1035
3. Torso - 973pb3398c01 swap white arms for purple
4. Legs - 970c00pb0904

Dusk possed a challenge intitally due to her hair piece not existing in the right colour. The robes also gave me some trouble but then it hit me, she's wearing Stass Allie's jedi robes (even the trivia on the wiki doesn't have this fact at the time of writing). To keep the oufit cohesive I omitted any purple colouring and finished off with the princess braided hair in black. The trick for the face was to search brinklink for the best cheekline options, luckily I already had my chosen head in my parts collection.

Dusk parts:

1. Hair - 59363 Black
2. Head - 3626pb1830
3. Torso - 973pb1480c01 swap dark tan arms for tan
4. Legs - 970c02pb10

For Libber I went for the classic option of using Jay's fusion suit. For the head I had wanted to use Claire's head from the Temple of Airjitsu, but since I have that figure I didn't want to create an ''Now there are two of them!'' situation. In the end I settled on the Falconer CMF head for some double sided action. (ignore the crack in her right arm, I promise I'll get it fixed).

Libber parts:

1. Hair - 90396 bright light yellow
2. Head - 3626pb3185
3. Torso - 973pb2613c01
4. Legs - 970c00pb0630

For Hibernus I was curious to see if the snow guardian CMF torso could work, I also wasn't satisfied with any of the blue robe options. I added some dark blue arms and legs and he was good to go. I also liked this goatee head better than any of the moustache ones. the hair thankfully exists in the correct colour, but only on two figures. 

Hibernus parts:

1. Hair - 88283 white
2. Head - 3626pb1960
3. Torso - 973pb4562c01 swap arms for dark blue with white hands
4. Legs - 970c00 dark blue

Last up, Benton. As the triva section of the wiki has pointed out he uses Gimli's torso and Aragorn's head from Lord of the Rings. He also uses the legs from the samurai warrior CMF. I stuck with the torso (with it's dark grey arms) and the legs, but I went with the samurai warrior's head as well. To be in keeping with the arms I went with a pearl dark grey version of the helmet.

Benton parts:

1. Helmet - 48493 pearl dark grey
2. Head - 3626pb0509
3. Torso - 973pb1149c01 swap light nougat hands for reddish brown ones
4. Legs - 970c00pb0080

It's been a while. All these guys have official minifigures now, but we don't have the whole gang yet. On top of that Strike of the Serpentine added another elemental master to this era. For today I have Sono, the elemental master of sound, and Brook, the elemental master of nature. Like with the previous set I'll leave parts lists for both at the end.

These two are probably the simplest to make so far, I have also seen people online use some of the same pieces for these two.

Brook has an alternate face too.

While Brook's hair piece is accurate to the comic, the physical piece is a bit too big for my liking. It seems like a Kai situation where his hair is less big in the series too. To that end have an alternate hair option for Brook.

Sono parts:

1. Fez - 85975 dark red
2. Head - 3626pb2792
3. Torso - 973pb2443c01 swap hands to yellow
4. Legs - 973pb2443c01 dark bluish Grey

Brook parts:

1. Hair - 29634 black
2. Head - 3626pb2475
3. Torso - 973pb4776c01
4. Legs - 970c00 dark brown
5. Alternate hair - 3532 black
6. Flower stem - 68211 redish brown
7. Flower - 24866 white

Just need to make Leo and Levi now.

Thanks for checking out my post :)
