Non-Purist Superhero Figures
TheBigRedCheese replied to c0rnedfr0g's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Thanks for the compliment, and sorry for missing your comment. To both confirm and clarify The Lego Nolan's response, yes those are Sinestro's legs, with a bit of Sharpie added where Lego's printing just didn't quite cut it. :) Thanks for responding to Quicksilver838 more promptly than I would've. :) -

From what I've Googled, that does seem like a great torso. As for her hair, I'd use this when she has the hood from her hoodie up, and this when she doesn't. Obviously, neither are perfect, but I hope they'll do. As for Blue Marvel and Spectrum, I can't seem to find consistent pictures for either of them. If you post some sorce material, I can definitely help. EDIT: Sorry I can't be of any more immediate help. :( In that case, I'd use the reddish brown one. :D -

Yes, actually, the brown bowler might be best, if there is such a piece. I'm not sure if there is or isn't, but if there is, use it! :D 1) I totally agree, but I'd want to get a closer look at those goggle things first. 2) No argument here. I'd love to see that! 3) No argument here. I'd love to see that! 4) Absolutely! Although there's been some debate in the forums about the belts, but who cares? EDIT: (Who cares is meant to be in reference to the fact that they presumably come off.) Sounds nice! So can Kai or Nya or any of the red Ninjago figures. Here's mine. The only reason that I don't like those is because of the maroon. Elektra seems to have a brighter red to me, but to each his own. On another note, they could also be used for female Hand members. :) -

Welcome to Eurobricks! :D Coulson and Skye look great, but Dugan might benefit from the grey bowler and a different torso and legs. Zegros, I strongly recommend these hips for use with almost any X-Men character you can think of, especially if their costume has black pants. -

Inspired by autorazr, I decided to make my own version of Inque, which can be seen here. Also, in case anyone was curious, this is what Bane looks like when modified with the CMF Jewel Thief's pants. -

No problem! :D Have you considered making a Bricklink account? If you already have one, I'd advise using it before heading to B&P. The yellow cape idea is no problem, and like I said in the previous part of my post, look for the originals on Bricklink, if possible. Best of luck! :D -

When you said headpieces, I immediately thought of hair. When Zegros said headpieces, I immediately thought of hair. That just goes to show you that they're not that noticeable. Nice job! :D I love this! No problem! Also, feel free to use my design if you want, all I ask for in return is linking back to my Flickr if you do so. :D As for Hyperion: I can see why you'd want to replace his cape. It's weird looking from the images I've been finding online. Thankfully, back in 2006 and 2008, Lego produced two variants of Robin, both of which have plain old starched fabric yellow capes. Here are their respective links (Bricklink), and if you want to order from B&P, the set numbers that you can choose from (he and the cape only came in two sets) are 7783-1 (the Batcave) or 7885-1 (the Penguin's submarine). Happy hunting, and I hope that solves your problem! But I have a question for you: What's wrong with his legs that you want to substitute them? Episode 7 Han has the hair that LegoMcBoss2004 was talking about. -

Zegros, What do you mean? Simmons, Skye, Rodriguez, Morse, and May all use female headpieces. -

I've seen some people use this head for Beast, and I think that it works okay. Otherwise, there is another blue Chima ape monkey head with slightly different coloring that might work better. That way, your son is happy and the black hair stays. :) I do see the "kinda sorta" 'X' on Angel! :P It's a great change, and the figure's whole bottom half "flows" better because of it. The site that I linked to with those 'X' hips, Bricklink, is actually designed to allow FOL to purchase bricks. I'd strongly recommend setting up an account, even if you only use it for research. :) -

I wanted to expand upon this awesome design: Batman Beyond: Helmet: Batman's Head: This one (I don't know the exact name because I didn't find it on Bricklink.) or a really cool modded one like c0rnedfr0g did! Torso: Red Nightwing's Arms: CMF 8 Vampire Bat's with wing parts painted red for extra accuracy. Legs: CMF 15 Jewel Thief's or plain black, or the CMF 13 Galaxy Trooper's or really, any appropriate black legs, or best of all, some really cool modded ones like c0rnedfr0g did, possibly in conjunction with the others I mentioned. I know that this figure has a lot of purist parts, but of course, mods can be made to any of my suggestions to make them more custom than purist. Happy building, everyone! - The Big Red Cheese -

Personally, I'd just order the official fur from either Lego or Bricklink. Unfortunately, Kraven isn't parted out on Bricklink, and I think that Kraven's fur* is out of stock via Lego. In the meantime, this totally not self promoting link should prove that a purist Kraven can be done without the fur. That said, I think he looks better with it. * Here's some info from Lego that I got, I hope it's of some use. MINI COLLAR NO 3 - Element number 6153507, design number 26066 -

Nice! Commentary: Beast: Nice job! Most people make him in light blue, and with different pieces, so seeing a classic beast with dark blue is a nice change. That said, his black hair does somewhat clash with the black face, so I'd recommend changing one or the other if you can. Jean Grey: Absolutely perfect! :O Angel: Great job! The only thing that I can recommend for Angel is to use the hips from these legs, just for a teensy bit of detail, because the black without any printing stands out from the rest of Angel's outfit. The reason I recommended those hips is because they have a small 'X' printed in the center, so they solve the problem of detail in and of themselves, and they happen to coincide with the character's team name. -

I presume you mean the Scurriers? They can't be taken apart; they're only one piece. Hair (Optional): Samurai's/Sumo Wrestler's Head: Devil's or Crust Smasher's (Crust Smasher is from Nexo Knights, BTW) Torso: Crust Smasher's Right Hand of Doom: Replace the maroon hand on his right side with a boxing glove. Yes, Daredevil's classic masked head is an issue. Most purist customisers that I've seen use Nightwing's head, and they cover it up with something, usually a ninja headwrap, or even a mountain climber's helmet! Personally, I'd work with any of those, and also try the following: The CMF Boxing Helmet, the old fashioned space helmet, or the Star Wars' Royal Guard's helm Also, some helpful links: Google Images search for "lego daredevil purist" All of the red minifig headgear that's available via Bricklink Happy hunting/building! :D Also, Rogue is always a good opening figure, and I'm sure yours will be awesome! :D Welcome again, and best of luck! - The Big Red Cheese -

Thanks for the heads up! My local stores haven't got them yet, but I'll be sure to look out for them! :D Absolutely! Plus, the Wildlife Photographer has great parts for Atom, Red Tornado, a mini-fig scale Colossal Boy (amongst the many other heroes with similar red/blue color schemes), a new parka for custom Captain Cold figures (or the henchpeople of any ice-themed villain), the Penguin Suit dude can be used as a robotic henchthing for the Penguin (or something like that), that guy with the bow and arrow can be used to modify Green Arrow, the 'ice beams' from the Ice Queen can be used for Cloak's light beams, the Dog Prize Winner's hair can be used for a first appearance Captain America, the Devil costume kid can be used for Azazel and also for A CW Flarrowverse Roy Harper, the mech girl can work for Brainiac, and a Louise Lincoln Killer Frost, the bow and arrow guy can used as Yao Fei, the backpacker's hair definitely has some use(s), the spy's hair might work for hawkeye, his legs can solve my tactical legs problem (:P), and as BiggusBricks suggested, they'd look good on the UCS Tumbler Batman, and possibly others as well, the banana suit guy can be used for a Banana Suit Deadpool, which is apparently a thing, and I can go on and on and on and on. There's an infinite number of things to do with this new series. :D :O Happy days! Welcome to the forums! :D Don't assume that just because something is simple doesn't mean that it isn't "worthy" or anything like that. Sometimes simple is good, because sometimes it'll inspire others, which is what the thread is about! :) So, as for your Netflix Daredevil, I think that he's nearly perfect! The only thing that I have to say is that the face you chose for him is a bit odd, especially considering how serious the character is, and how serious that face isn't, but everything else is great! :D Thanks for the information! It's a darn shame that those hairpieces aren't removable, as I had hoped that I could make Firestorm with them. Oh well, guess that I'm stuck with the Syndrome hair for now. As for the Flickr link assist, it's no problem at all. Flickr mobile is a pain in the neck sometimes. I recommend using a computer for links, if possible. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I've temporarily solved Bane's pants problem, and I put the CMF 15 Cat Burglar's pants in place of plain old black ones and I think they look great. Silver Banshee Recipe: Hair: Storm's Face/Head: Taskmaster's, Aurra Sing's, CMF 12 Spooky Girl's, Evil Skull's, Modern Asajj Ventress', Modern Harley Quinn's, or "Classic" Asajj Ventress Torso: Syndrome's Legs: Also Syndrome's Personally, I think Taskmaster's and or the modern Asajj Ventress' heads are the best, but I think that they all work. Also, I think that the comic style Falcon can benefit from Mr. Incredible's arms and legs, with maybe the orange printed hips are switched out for plain black ones. -

Nice! On your Jack O' Lantern (which is super awesome and accurate), is that Ghost Rider's hairpiece? I thought that it was unremovable. Mind you, that's just what I've heard here on the forums, I don't have the set myself. EDIT: Also your link leads to the mobile version of Flickr, which is cumbersome (at least for me), on a plain old computer.

I'm not really the biggest fan of yellow, but different strokes for different folks and all that. So, I present, in no particular order . . . Indiana Jones and the classic colored Lego faces! Indiana Jones: 1. CMF Series 10 Decorator - The paint splotch on his face isn't all that good, but just pretend it's the blood of the aliens he encounters at the end of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 2. Kingdoms' Lion Knight/Pharaoh's Quest's Mac McCloud - The scar might be a bit much, but that's just me. Irina Spalko: 1. CMF Series 13 Egyptian Warrior - I get that this is a man's face, but Spalko always looked masculine to me anyway. Henry Jones Sr. : 1. CMF Series 15 Farmer 2. Adventurers Desert Dr. Charles Lightning/Adventurers Orient Expedition Dr. Kilroy 3. The man of a million faces . . .* [see down below for what I mean by “a million faces”.] Sallah: 1.

Civil War Hawkeye's legs look like just the right ticket, at least, from what I can see so far. As for Ant Man's legs, I was looking for something a bit more "tactical". I'll have to keep hunting until that Roxxon Oil Truck set is released, but so far, those look great. Thanks for the suggestions! :D -

TheBigRedCheese replied to sok117's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Sorry for not clarifying before, but those legs are actually have a bit too much printing for my taste. I was looking for something more like Hawkeye's legs, being mostly black, but having just enough printing so that it's not just plain black. Unfortunately, however, I have too many minifigures with Hawkeye's legs whose pants would otherwise be plain black, so I'm trying to avoid using them this time. Sorry for the confusion, and I appreciate the suggestion. -

I just bought the Bane Fun Pack from Lego Dimensions and I feel like the plain black legs TLG gave him just aren't cutting it. Any ideas? Basically, I want pants that are mostly black, but have some printing on them. I've used Hawkeye's pants to solve similar problems before, so that's pretty much the only suggestion that I won't take because I want to go in a different direction. :P Thanks for the help! -

Side Note: If you're creating similar creatures in the future whose masks don't have the awesome molded teeth that these ones do, or you simply want to create the rows of teeth illusion for either the Demon Shark or the Gator Ghoul, I've used this head in a similar fashion. Personally, I love the teeth detail and all that it brings to the table. Also, it may be a bit much, but if you have a pair of these arms, try them on The Puppetmaster and as like an extension of his gloves. I know that's not how the character's presented in canon, but I think that it might be a change for the better. :) Happy building! - The Big Red Cheese As far as I know, wizards are beyond welcome here. :P Those Sirius and McGonagall updates sound amazing.
