Purist Superhero Figures

[Hulk_Smash]

A few more from me

Gwen Stacy (can't remember if I posted my previous version of her or not) slightly changed Karnak, Howard the Duck, Dash, modified Robin and slightly changed Cisco.

I just ordered three bodies of Maria Hill from Bricks and Pieces. For 12 dollars I got three unique torsos with their legs, that come from a $500 set... Not a bad deal that way. If only they had Nick Fury's parts for sell right now to :P Of course the heads will be another purchase via Bricklink but my goal is for one Maria Hill figure and then the other two bodies will be used for custom figs.

With that I am planning on a few "purist customs" to say. I think that at least one of the Maria torsos will be used for Agent May from Agents of SHIELD, and if I get lazy and don't order another torso I might use the other one for Skye/Quake (I probably should give Skye a different torso though to help make her character more unique).I have already built an Agent Coulson figure, which I might share photos of once I have pictures of it. I am also trying to figure out some other ideas. I might buy that one Doctor Who dimension pack of the Cyberman (?) and Bricklink some pieces to make an Iron Man Mark 2 figure, that torso just is begging to be an Iron Man Mark 2. I am also trying to figure out how to do a Squirrel Girl figure, but I've yet to find a purist torso that matches her current look in the comics. Any ideas there?

Tried to do Phobia from dc's brotherhood of evil and this is my result. Maleficent's head works perfectly for her!

Has anyone tried Maleficent's head with cat Woman's helmet?

Awesome!

Thanks =)

The only issue is that I don't know how to make a hat for Howard. Without it he looks like some crazy Donald with a gun

Squirrel Girl's a toughie, which really breaks my heart because I love her to death. I had a concept for her in yellow with the Monster Fighters pilots jacket torso, but I don't where that went.

Next up we have members of the Batfamily. I finally had to admit defeat and start using yellow people. I'm becoming more ok with the combination. From left to right: Oracle, Black Bat, Carrie Kelley Robin, Azrael, Red Robin, Batwing (needs black Batman glide wings) and Huntress

Cool red robin I did a similar one with night wings new 52 head(inaccurate but looks good anyway) ,a Thor/Superman cape with two short Lloyd garmaddon capes on the inside and outside to replicate the two tone new 52 suit.I also used deep stone Kai's legs.

For my Brother blood I just mixed a couple of the cultists for torso/leg combos, using clouse's torso, and one of the random cultists legs, can't remember which one. This was the result.. Personally I love how it turned out.

How does the funhouse escape/ Dimensions Harley Quinn fig look with plain white arms and the aquaman Hairpiece?

Also could i see the 2006 Scarecrow with the 2012 torso and a brown hood?

*Snip*

The 'sane' side of Harleen Quinzel's head would work for flesh Oracle. I wondered whether Pepper Pott's torso would work for her or maybe Lois Lane from Man of Steel for the shirt?

Maybe the new '66 Catwoman mask side would work for the flesh Huntress head.

Love that Carrie Kelly Robin. I've been meaning to make one of those recently.

Thanks for the kind words! No worries! Glad I could help :D

Really dig that Chronos! Looks great.

I am also trying to figure out how to do a Squirrel Girl figure, but I've yet to find a purist torso that matches her current look in the comics. Any ideas there?

There are a few bomber jacket torsos that might work, but they're all zipped up instead of open like in the comics.

http://www.bricklink...=973pb0792&in=S

There's an old torso from a Spider-Man set where the colors aren't quite right, but could work.

http://www.bricklink...=973pb0287&in=S

Then there's a torso from an Adventurers Orient Expedition set with an open, fur-lined jacket just like Squirrel Girl wears, but an undershirt that's probably too colorful. Also a scarf.

Oh those are all good! I'll keep it in mind for when I try it.

Oh thanks! He turned out better than I thought he would :D.

Recently, I made a couple of new purist MOCs:

Howard the Duck

You may want to consider giving him red 'kids' legs, so he can look shorter than the average hero?

I had the same idea beforehand. Probably I will give it a try, but I don't have short legs of a right color at the moment.

The other thing about short legs is that Howard will look disproportionately with such a big head.

I made my Howard similar to this variation. His legs look usual here.

In the final version of that game he had the short legs and it looked fine.
