Purist Superhero Figures

Recommended Posts

Here is my Super Friends Samurai

I'm thinking about removing the dark green reptilian splotches from the legs, which would make the figure non-purist, but for now the fig is 100% purist. Thanks for looking!

I'm putting together a custom Firefly, but I can't figure out what torso to use. Any ideas? I like the Arkhamverse looks, but I'm not married to any ideas. I don't want to use any bulky armor piece though.

Stuck on mobile at the time being, but I finally snagged some pictures of some older stuff, along with a couple new things. Sorry for the links, I'll edit in deeplinks if I can get to a computer sometime.

Suicide Squad - Harley Quinn I'm quite proud of, and I swapped out Boomerang's head as well as dropping the gloves for fleshy hands.

Suicide Squad

I used Syndromes arms for Harley, so there is a bit of silver on her wrists but it's hardly noticeable, and kindof looks like a tattoo anyways. Ideally Lego will come out with some blue/white dual-molded arms at some point but I'm still quite pleased with this.

Flash - I added some speed-force to his running blur and I quite like the effect. :3

Running Flash Update

X-Men - Prof X, nothing really new but I finally grabbed that park set with the wheelchair.

X-Men

GiAnt Man! - I MOC'd some better arms for him way back when but never got a picture 'til now. I can put up a pic showing the construction if anyone's interested.

For cw barry I'd use the Hal Jordan hair with this head- http://brickset.com/parts/6118815 and this torso- http://brickset.com/parts/6117141 with dark blue legs

If it helps I've done some of those and they are in this thread if you want to search for them :)

And here are some new ones I knocked up last night, Arkham Killer Croc, Man-Spider, Deathlok and Hush. Hope you like them :)

Hi, pretty new to the whole custom figure thing, love the idea of keeping lego purist where possible, I want to make a lego odin using Eomer's torso but I'm struggling to find a head preferably with a missing eye and flesh coloured.

Would this head work? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=146930#T=S&C=90&O={"color":90}

Whoa, is that new? I looked into making an Odin about a year and a half ago, and I couldn't find a face, so I gave up. Thanks for the recommendation!

That Harley is fantastic! The parts don't look much like SS Harley separate, but the combo looks dead on. Great work!

What are you using for Hush's jacket?

Black Canary

For Caitlin's torso, I'd personally go with either this or this. She doesn't wear a lab coat terribly often, but I think it's something more recognizable for her. If that doesn't jive, you can try any number of blues and greys, since she wears a lot of cooler colors (because of course she would lol)

I've seen a lot of people use Star Lord's head for Eddie Thawne and I think it works pretty well.

LEGO doesn't give you a lot of head options for Iris, so you're basically stuck with Storm's. Her torso provides a lot of options, so I'd just try a bunch of different female torsos until you hit something you like, since she wears so many different sorts of outfits. I'd look around the darker options from the Friends line for hair.

This is definitely your best choice for Joe's head, and I'd go with one of these two options for his torso (1) (2). For a more on-duty Joe, there's this torso and his crime-fighting hat :tongue:

I think the best option for Diggle's hair is Finn's here. You could also probably get away with making him bald, though.

As for Felicity, I intend on using this torso and probably Scarlet Witch's legs.

I made a CW Black Canary that I thought was pretty alright. If you want a mask, you're pretty much SOL.

Hopefully that helps!

Those are some great suggestions! Only thing is I was going to use Star-Lord's head for Oliver Queen. Is there one that suits Oliver better?

EDIT: would '66 Catwoman's head work for Black Canary? Right now nobody sells just the head on Bricklink, but I'm sure someone will eventually.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that's the only possible option for Canary at all, at the moment. And I doubt the head by itself would be all that much better value than the 'fig, considering how expensive the set is. :/ I'm perfectly content with my Canary, barring that, too.

Oh, right, I couldn't remember what I'd used for Ollie. I actually found Dastan's face (which is practically identical to Indy's) with the old crew cut hairpiece in brown to be weirdly accurate. (Weirdly because that hairpiece tends to only be good for very obvioisly crew-cut characters like Collosus, IMO.)

Right now I'm designing a Justice League MOC, but I need your guys help with something. I'm trying to make a Steppenwolf figure (for those who don't know who that is he is Darkseids uncle and commander of his army).

This is the version I want to use as inspiration for the figure:

28782840160_77bd6fbe6d_z.jpg

28782839590_6ee6256d13_z.jpg

Does anyone know any good parts I can use for this figure?

And also, who would you like to see as the villain for the Justice League? Except for Darkseid as a bigfig doesn't fit the MOC I'm designing :p

There's a helmet in nexo Knights that one of the devil dudes has, black with removable horns, it would be pretty close.

Has anybody considered using some of Echo Zane's parts to make the Doom Patrol's Robotman?

The head is totally perfect! Will be a tough color to match with a torso though.

Returned to this forum after some years to post my custom avengers. I've wanted to make a yellow-skinned set, for a bigger city where the people will have similar skintones (and I find mixing of fleshies and yellow figs looks really, really odd).

Please excuse the hair on Captain America, I'm on the lookout for a replacement next time I bricklink something.

Bonus spidey and mysterio:
