Add it to the body of the Collectable Series Commissioner Gordon with white arms and you have a near-perfect Joe West. I think I'll probably end up swapping the head out on Chief O'Hara for one of the many new Barbara Gordon heads and make Renee Montoya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxtravis7992 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) WIP Squirrel Girl figure. My main Lego collection is at my parent's house; so I don't have a better torso to use as a stand in right now except for the CMF Babysitter torso! Gonna Bricklink a bomber jacket torso and proper hands in the next purchase to fully finish it. A few things I have noticed building this mock up figure though, the hair and tail piece collide with each other, making it all a tight fit to pull of. However the head from the Batgirl figure suits the character well. Now I am tempted to do a regular Doreen figure, were instead of being in her Squirrel themed super hero get up; she is in normal clothes with a laptop and a ton of homework to do... College life in a nut shell. Edited January 15, 2017 by xboxtravis7992 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N_Cat Posted January 18, 2017 So, with figure details having leaked for the 2017 MCU sets a few weeks back, it looks like we're still going to be Odin-less going forward. Based mainly on his Thor: The Dark World appearance, I've attempted a purist version: For anyone wondering, it's made with the following parts: Hair: Count Dooku Face: Old (Rebels) Commander Wolffe Armor: Theoden Torso: Black Arms: Black Hands: one Dark Brown, one Light Flesh Legs: Reddish Brown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually remember reading a review on FBTB where the author stated he would pay "any amount of cash" it took to get any set no matter how bad the set was if it included Squirrel Girl. If she is released as a Comic Con exclusive there will probably be a fan revolt! Riots in the streets and Ebay scalpers galore! However the fact we have gotten Kamala Khan in a retail set (which I am still waiting for that one's US release by the way...) has me hopeful Lego will do more stuff based on what is popular in the comics at the time. If we have gotten Ms. Marvel, I am hoping others like Squirrel Girl, Spider Gwen, etc. aren't that far behind. Just please if they do a Squirrel Girl, do the modern post-2015 looks. Either the bomber jacket look, or the gray jumpsuit with the tan line down the middle. Don't do that old black and brown monkey suit thing she used to wear... That would look way to weird.

This could easily get off-topic fast, but I'm always silently hoping to see Squirrel Girl make it into a set someday, but we only just got Ms Marvel, who's way more major and way more palatable. Kamala's pretty average as far as superheroes go, but it's harder to sell the idea of a girl that just kinda happens to have squirrel powers and stops guys like Galactus and Doctor Doom through conversation and understanding to a public who scoffed at the idea of Ant-Man. Then again, we just got Detroit Steel and the Super Adaptoid, so I'd say #LEGOTippyToe2k18 (Side note: I, too, would definitely pay whatever eBay winds up charging for a Squirrel Girl minifig if they break my heart and make her an SDCC exclusive. She's the one character I'd do it for.) 5 hours ago, retrotaco said: I don't really make any custom minifigs, just tweak existing ones, but I noticed the head from the CMF Ice Queen would make a pretty spot-on Killer Frost from the recent Justice League Vs.

Torsos: I'd try either Elrond's from LotR or Skylor's from the Ninjago Condrai Copter set, and probably their respective legs as well. Head: Maybe Bib Fortuna or Sith Anakin, something with real evil-looking stuff going on around the eyes but a pretty average/chiseled everything else. Hair: No question about this one, the Joshamee Gibbs hair from Pirates of the Caribbean. It's perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legocity2713 Posted January 23, 2017 Recently got the Iron Man vs. Loki Juniors set and I was hoping the new Loki's cape would be better to replace my other Loki's old crumpled one but sadly no dice. These Loki capes sure are more crinkly than other capes of the same material. Is it the color or something? Has anyone else experienced the same issue? That said my actual question is: are there any green capes out or coming out that are made of that new, softer, 2015 material that I can use to repalce the paper cape with? I checked Brickset and can't find anything so this seemed like the most appropriate thread to ask. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigRedCheese Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) On Hulk_Smash's note of using the LBM CMF parts for other superheroes/villains, I just realized that Calculator's face can be used for Wrecker from Marvel's Wrecking Crew, if you're willing to go outside his color scheme a bit. On that same note, I also saw that one of the Lego builders I follow on Flickr had used it for Ozymandias from Watchmen. EDIT: It also works for Flamingo and White Rabbit from more recent Batman stuff.

If I were you, I'd just Bricklink one. Edited January 26, 2017 by TheBigRedCheese Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anybody know what this daredevil's head is? Typically the best way to identify a part is through Bricklink's catalog and its color guide feature. If you're talking about the head and not the cowl, then in this case, it looks like that head might not be an official Lego part either. It's made of black plastic, and no catalogued black heads have red visors in that manner, and nor do any of the uncatalogued Lego Batman figures. So to the best of my knowledge, it's either a non-Lego part, or a modified Lego part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
