Okay, so Nova's head works for Madame Masque. But am I the only one who sees Morg's hairpiece and thinks it'll be perfect for the Red Ghost?

Thought of that too. Luke made a very nice Red Ghost custom not too long ago, with sculpted hair, and I remember thinking "I'll just wait until Morg comes out".

That hair piece is perfect for a Red Ghost. But the custom I keep seeing is the fella with the death orb from Phantasm

you old timers know what I'm talking about ;)

side note, Punisher, your Hulk mod I'm guessing you just swapped the whole arm peg from torso to torso and the arm works like a normal 'mate arm. Can you put me in the know so I can steal that mod for my collection?

YES! I was thinking that too but had forgotten in the waiting time between seeing the figures preview pics and them being released.

Oh man, I hope we get a Red Ghost!

The torso isn't pushed all the way down. I used one of the rings that made up the original Uncanny X-Force Wolverine's gloves to hold it up, but I'm sure it would stay if you just didn't push it down all the way. It's not a much extra height as a torso extender gives you, just enough to make the vest look a little better. No other changes.

Sorry about the photo dump. Some of these y'all have seen before in my custom thread. Others are too small of mods to ever have bothered.

Here's my Spider Woman. Used an Athena hair, and wings off of Black Bolt. Not sure if I'm gona paint those or not.

Crossbones. I swear the belt matched the pants without the flash. it washes everything out and makes it look funky.

Great colour choice on Vulture too,

Edit: Oh man - and i love the F4 zombies too!

Edit: AAAAH! That Power Girl is A+.

I did him probably 4 or 5 years ago, along with Juggernaut. Those were the two figures I did as soon as the Powerhouse Chest pieces showed up. The belts came maybe a year later, hence the colors not matching. But honestly, I figure we're just a few waves out from another spidey wave (Yay! [/Fluttershy]) and a new Rhino, so I'm not gona bother. Good idea though. Swarm is still a bit of a wip, as I really want new boots and gloves for him.

source art for Swarm shows "him" barefoot but he does wear gloves. I used sentinels classic look gloves the color match is close enough, I would like to "tatter up" the cloak and hood though as his is fairly ratty

That's a nice mod and makes a lot of sense. I'd love to see something like that become the norm on Minimates. I'm a big fan of the new glove cuff piece, and this just seems like the next logical step. Get it? Step... because it's his foot... :rolleyes:

When I looked at Basilisk's head from the Age of X box set (with the mask removed), I thought of a quick Johnny Storm modification.

Basically, Basilisk's head with any spare blonde Captain America hairpiece (I have too many to choose from) and a spare Mr. Fantastic body from the TRU series.

Presto, easy Johnny Storm!

I really love that Black Widow belt; I don't think it's ever been used again. :sad:

Yeah me too. I had to put it on backwards to get it on the proper leg and it still looks great. I should have picked up more BW's back when they were on clearance for three bucks.
