Purist Superhero Figures

Recommended Posts

I like that torso - mine was just plain green and was a bit basic.

I saw yours and really liked it but as you say, it was a little basic. Not sure if this is too much the other way now tho!!

I tried to post some of my figures, but I couldn't get the pictures to work so I gave up and tried to delete this post but I couldn't figure out how so now this is here. .__.

Here's a question, if you remove arms, does it still count as purist, since it's still using TLG made parts?

Or putting official decals onto pieces?

Or is that a point of contention among purist customizers?

I don't know if it's been mentioned, yet, but Ninjago Overborg's hairpiece makes for a great purist Cyborg. I'm still mixing and matching his body, but the head's a winner.

^ Yeah I was thinking about War Machine's head and the CM series 1 Robot or War Machine's torso. The legs I haven't worked out yet.

I tried, but it told me that that I wasn't allowed to use that extension in this community. I'm using Flickr, by the way.

That's still purist. The decal dispute was dealt with a few pages back, so you're good.

ok this isn't directed at you exclusively thewatchman, cause ive seen this a ton, why does everyone use the fleur de lis body for doc strange? Especially if you use the medal as the eye of agamotto, you are covering it anyway. Idk, its such a distinct symbol that has no relation to the Doc that it bothers me.

Im seriously not trying to nitpick you thewatchman, your Kraven is the best of many that have been posted here, Strange is just my favorite non X-Man character and I just feel the old blue wizards body is the only way to go for him.

Actually, it's pretty close... https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRFUpPdVlFxauwF-GUq-nioMYtrO9m1Hq15z0v0lei3YirdGznJ

@numbah1nerd

close as it is, it just bothers me for some reason, with the eye hanging over it, it just looks too busy. I don't know about your technical issues, is there a thread concerning questions about posting? I'm sure there is try asking there.

Below is a creation (Which I guess you could call a figure—but I want to show him off anyways) of the Brain—whom I’m adding to my personal Legion of Doom.

Anyways Enjoy! And if anyone has any ideas for a purist Sinestro or Cheetah I’d sure like to know about them!

How exactly did you build the Brain?

There may be some debate as to whether a few of these are purist, but I still consider them to be so. The reason being that I have used LEGO stickers, but cut some of them up to create different shapes.

Thanks, rosalind! It's soooo effin cool someone here can appreciate Beak, I miss him. Once Chima eagles were out I knew that was prob my best option for a head, intially I had broke purist and cut the tab off the plume and stuck it in his head stud, but then came up with this solution, wish the bat was metal to match Beak's adamantium one, but its close enough.

ReZourceman, I want you to know I think of you as my greatest rival, your last post was inspiring. I had an idea for Shocker I'd like to share. In a new 2014 friends set, there is a pineapple piece, it is a normal minifig head, it lacks eyes but the yellow color and pattern may work. heres a BL link , nice Speedball, you must be a true spidey fan, you're digging deep and I like it. I'm totally gonna make one.

Hey guys, don't know if you remember me, but between pages 9 and 20ish, I was really pumping these out (with ReZourceman's inspirational help, of course). I've really enjoyed all the great customs of the last few pages, even if I haven't commented. Special mention to autorazr, who keeps finding new ways to make fun stuff.

On the homefront, I have been making some new customs again. I'll snap pics tonight and post them, see what you all think.

Cheers dude, and you mine!

It is fantastic that we can all spur each other on and inspire each other, I too really want a Beak now and a lot of yours.

And..........that is absolutely AMAZING. I need that Pineapple.

I have held off on teh likes of Carnage and Shocker this far, because I didn't really want to do them maskless, but that is such a perfect solution.
