Not the greatest photo but here are my permanent mods towards my Avengers collection. Not into painting or printing, mainly because if i say print Quasar's logo over the Mar-Vell torso, when they release an actual Quasar, I then won't be able to recycle the no longer useful Mar-Vell torso for say a Genis-Vell kitbash. i'm willing to overlook little things like the captain marvel symbol or doctor druid's lack of his insignia the rubbish angle (i literally just threw them on my couch and took a photo) makes a lot of them look squatty. Doctor Druid - Mephisto body, Cloak cloak, CEO Tony stark head and hands. U.S.Agent - a minor mod but an important one, the arms are from Guy Gardner Green Lantern - the original U.S.Agent minimate had white sleeves which is an artist mistake which was copied across by other artists a few times... the only reason he's not wearing his mask is because it doesn't go with my choice of cap (the slip cover mask from invaders boxset) Rick Jones - this is basically just Predators Edwin with a Marty McFly head. It is perfect, anyone wanting a Rick Jones, go out and make this. Black Knight - everyone thought to do the 90s Black Knight with the Cap Avengers jacket... but one thing they always overlook is when Dane wore the jacket, his greys had become a blue. So, i gave him Hobgoblin's legs. The arms work good too - we just need a cape in the same colour as his gloves and boots to complete the de-jacketed 90s look. Wonder Man - a composite of the two available Wonder Man minimates. Torso, arms and belt from the one that comes with She-Hulk, everything else from the safari jacket one. This is actually one of my favourite Minimates now! Hank Pym - really disappointed with this one... i mean, it's servicable but i just don't like it. It comes from two Walking Dead prisoners (coz there was no long sleeved ones with white chests) with a Hank Pym head. Vision - the old Vision Minimate with an early Loki's parts. Bonus is you then have the Vision's phasing arms and legs you can interchange. Thor - this was a nightmare to make. It looks simple but I got through so many different Thors before being able to make a bearded classic Thor (like in Simonson's run or Under Siege). It's Stormbreaker Thor's torso, arms and crotch, Heroes Return Thor's cape, helmet, belt and legs and Armored Thor's head. It took ages and I went through a lot of others that didn't work (Thunderstrike, 90s Thor, even using Armored Thor's head was because the heroes return one didn't sit on this torso) but i finally got my definitive Thor Minimate. Quasar - this is just passable. Mar-Vell torso, Sentry cape and head, Marty McFly (the same as Rick's head) arms, AvX Cyclops' gauntlets, early Ultimate Spider-Man crotch and legs and Fighting Chance Captain America hair. I used to just use Mar-Vell's bracelets but I found the Cyke gauntlets look a bit closer to Quasar's quantum bands and it looks a bit more interesting. Hawkeye - i didn't even make this, i ordered a Dark Hawkeye off ebay and got this... but hey, i really liked it. It combines parts from Dark Hawkeye and the first Hawkeye. It came with a worse head which I subbed for the Ben Grimm head. Now I'm pretty happy with this as a Hawkeye. Henry Gyrich - due to unpopular demand, he is a great recipe for henry gyrich. Waldroff with the Mandroid head and Eddie brock hair. For bonus points, the Statler body is a Jarvis in the waiting... I'll show my X-Men later... there's a lot less of them (because there's a lot more of them released)

Atlas Beetle (80s Abe Jenkins version, ideally with metallics) Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell) Hellcat Jocasta Mimic Mockingbird (classic) Moondragon Nate Grey Quasar She-Hulk (classic) Son of Satan Starfox Thor (Lord of Asgard) Wasp (Hank Pym)

Son of Satan... ideally in his classic red caped look, not the leather pants and fire hair look... another classic Defender member. i'd like him and Hellcat to round off the team (and dream of the day when we actually would get a Gargoyle) Mindless Ones are an obvious army builder that i'm surprised we haven't had yet

I'm mostly posting here just to say for Cap it's the Invaders boxset for me...i much prefer slip-on cover masks like this when the character's need eyes visible... i know most people hate those slip-on masks but i really think this is the best Cap i have (and i have a lot of Cap variants - and it kinda bothers me that i can't really display them together with cap because none of them have slip-on cover masks like the cap i like)
