My take on Mimic (I just had extra First Class and other parts and wanted to use them)

Also, I recently got organized. Tired of bin digging for what I'm looking for...

Anyone else organize their spare parts?

niiice!!! im really liking the civie-mates, particularly Henry, Scott, Donald, and Hank. Recipes??

And kudos to your parts bin! Wish I had that much spare parts to warrant separate storage. But your customs are great.

These look great sha_ckwave! I am jealous of the bin. Where did you get it? My current project is Firestar but I am still stuck on finding a skin tone paint for the chest.

I also revised my Namorita with parts from a Tinkerbell.

Thoughts on the paint?

I liked sha_ckwave's idea of modifying Quicksilver since the body can still blend in with modern 'mates but I couldn't stand the hair or face, so I swapped with Asteroid M Magneto:

Not quite perfect, but think I can put him in my Avengers display now.

That is a nice quick custom! He looks much better. Now to head to ebay to find the pieces for it.

After modifying Quicksilver I looked through my old minimates to see if there were any others that could be improved with some new parts and decided Assualt Punisher might be salvageable:

Punisher_zpsa6c5b03b.jpg

I used Assault Punisher's head, arms, torso, and hands along with movie Sabretooth's coat, an Expendables belt, random weapons, and a black lower body. Not sure exactly where the hairpiece came from. Jigsaw I had been planning on putting together for a while, it's a Mr. Negative body with new hands and feet with a movie Jigsaw head and movie Punisher hair. Might change the hair on that one, not sure right now.

I use that hair and an Invaders Namor head. The Quicksilver had on that Namor has a kind of fun, silly Defenders vibe to it.

That looks way better than the one released, one suggestion,maybe try sticking a black or dark blue crotch piece on him?

i absolutely had to change Mystiques hair, at least until an updated version comes out, and i found 1st class Jean to be the best donor. replaced White Phoenix with Heather Hudsons and put Phoenixes on 1st class Jean. everybody looks better IMO.
