[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, master of lightning, master of ice, master of earth and master of shadow. I'll also add the Bricklink part ID's below. I most 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

The master of shadow 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). 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.

master of shadow parts:

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

For the master of lightning/Libber Gordon/Jay's mom I went for the classic option of using Jay's fusion suit. For the head I had wanted to use Clair's head from the Temple of Airjitsu but since I have that figure I didn't wan 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).

Master of lighting parts:

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

For the master of ice 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. 

Master of ice 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, the master of earth/Cole's Grandfather. 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.

Master of earth parts:

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