Indeed, there is... http://drmcninja.com/ And it would be an easy custom. But Fistmas #10 isn't that cool.

Khumbala Bey And YOU are... the weakest link! Hulk parts, Thing boots, Rufus arms/head, Cap crew cut hair, Cable belt, Green Arrow. On the tenth day of Fistmas... Hint: It takes some stones to use a definite article in front of your name, especially when your name might imply "army builder."

Scimitar Mandarin hair, Akuma chest/arms, red gloves, Colossus boots, Daredevil legs (?), Phoenix belt painted white, vest painted red, face decal, a scimitar (maybe from one of the pirates? I forget). I was pleased with how this one turned out. On the ninth day of Fistmas... Hints: This guy is mega-weak, both as a villain and as my worst custom of the bunch. He was a last-minute addition, something I realized I could shoe-horn in if I cut some corners. I used Green Arrow's chest, for instance, but didn't even bother to trim the arrows off, because I didn't want to destroy a perfectly good GA figure for this mort. I think he comes from the same country as Scimitar here. His first name sounds like that campfire song, "___, my lord, ___" His last name is shared with that of a director known for making massive blockbusters of questionable artistic merit, but is spelled differently.

Think I know who... The "heroes" though are coming on another wave. Spoiler alert: I am doing "Iron Fist" from the last issue...

Yes! I'm happy now! Sorry, I promise I'll be less of a nerd when posting my next batch of obscure customs. But until then... Master Khan It's basically BSG Lucifer, with an X-Acto trimmed Skrull collar glued to his chest. Head/hands = Kor, Hair = movie Mandarin painted black. Plus a decal for the Skrull collar. EZ. On the... what, eighth? day of Fistmas, this s**t happened... Hint: The only other dude on this list named after a weapon. Only it's not a Japanese weapon, but one more associated with the Middle East. He's made a modern comeback of sorts, but of course I made his 70s look.

And because this: PWN! btw... Hint #3: the latest creation rhymes with "Faster Prawn." And was the first guess of the first day of Fistmas. Though it was the wrong image.

AOA Storm is GREAT.

Trap Jaw and Mer-Man are money.

Thanks Netglow! I'm also bothered by the nostrils a bit. That plus whenever I see him pictured, he's got some kind of manic smile. "Philip Phoenix," on the other hand, has got a pretty well-matched face with Kor the Klingon, said Hint #2.

Good man. I figured you were being generous... Let me know what you think. Again, I'll re-print the decal sometime, but my approach was: Deadman base, decals for the short sleeves, chest & belt, X3 Beast head, Snowbird hands, Colossus hair. X-Force boots. Sisko collar for the turtleneck. Warhawk On the seventh day of Fistmas, my ninja gave to me... Hint: OK, time for the big guns. If he were a movie title, he'd be Philip Seymour Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix mashed up with... [*he's had a lot of looks - I'm looking for the classic / bronze age look]

Hint #3: He not only battled Iron Fist in Marvel Premiere, but also appeared in one of the early Claremont/Cockrum X-Men issues.

Hint #2: I used Snowbird's hands, because they approximated his skin color.

Picture? Actually boyd, this one didn't come out so well due to a printing issue. But the decals designs themselves are pretty OK I think... I'll re-print at some point, but it's good enough for rock n' roll right now.

Scythe, kusarigama and all. On the sixth day of Fistmas, my sensei gave to me... Hint: Colossus ain't the only dude in the MU with steel hard skin. There is another, who shares his name with a video game that may have been one of the launch titles for PS3. [EDIT: OK, turns out it wasn't a launch title. But it was an important early title from 2007]

Right? Now there's a guy who has gotten next to no love in the toy department... He's someone I refuse to customize on principle - important enough to merit his very own DST-crafted MiniMate. I think he's next in line after my current, long-standing "campaign" for Classic Falcon & Constrictor.

kusarigama, I just learned the weapon is called, btw. I heart Wikipedia. This is also used by a very obscure Shang Chi adversary, but that's for another time.

hellpop: hellyeah, and boyd: true dat on both counts. Excellent work. Pic & Clue tonight! In the meantime, if you want to make your own Scythe, Honez-style, think Chuck Norris-guy from TMNT legs & feet w/ shins trimmed, a red chest, Hand Ninja vest, flesh arms with bronze wrist bands, X-Force Wolvie head, and the hair of Tony Stark from some Iron Man I had a s#%t - ton of, prob the one that came with Stilt-Man. I took the belt from Zangief, just to have some yellow in there. The real magic is the weapon... a very carefully trimmed & glued mashup of GoGo Yubari's meteor hammer and a Foot Ninja's kama.

Hmm, I guess Cross was a red herring. Technically speaking, in that particular episode he was more mastermind than thug. There is... another. And he is definitely Iron Fist's foe.

BAM! Props to bigvis! Ferocia, in all her feral glory. Basically: Blastaar limbs, Feral cap paint penned grey with Eric Masterson's ponytail glued on, B&W Wolfman paws with a light coat of the same grey to blend, a G. Goblin purple torso base, decals for face, chest, belt. Oh, and Domino's shoulder pads. On the fifth day of Fistmas, my sensei gave to me... Hint: This dude was the ONLY costumed thug I didn't get to from this episode of Avengers: EMH, when I was doing the Power Man villains (first post of this thread). Coincidentally, this is very topical due to the release of Ant-Man this week, based on the same story from the comics.

Golden Tigers, street gear. "Leader" and "Soldiers", only because I needed to get to 12 customs for the whole theme here. Pretty simple stuff - I made heavy use of Zombie Biker jackets & boots, also a Marty McFly jacket. The chests with tiger pendants & jacket backs are decals. Now, onward and upward... On the fourth day of Fistmas, my sensei gave to me... Hint: Give your best wolf whistle for the only female in the bunch.

NICE. That was really, really fast. I'll have to make tougher clues... And thanks! Pic will likely come tomorrow, I'll be tied up for the rest of the evening... new clue's a-comin' with it.

Mayyyybe... a pic gets the no-prize. They had a couple different looks...

The mighty Chaka Khan, or just Chaka. I used a paint pen to get the Cable vest & Little Red skirt orange, as well as the Deathstroke mask. I may touch up the vest with another coat - the first orange I used didn't work out, and layering was problematic for the second pen. Face is a decal (obvs), and I made his sanjiegun by cutting up & glueing together Michelangelo's nunchaku, then paint-penning them black. On the second and third days of Fistmas, my sensei gave to me... Hint1: This is technically an army builder. I made three of them, one sortof distinctive from the rest, but only because I was one character shy of an even 12 for "Fistmas." Hint2: There's a hint in the image Boyd posted. Hint3: These... may technically have two different "looks." I picked one of them, the easier one to customize. Have at it!

I'll go meta on you: The Core Four, of the Core Four teams: Avengers: Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye Defenders: Hulk, Strange, Namor, Surfer X-Men: Cyke, Wolverine, Storm, Phoenix (/Jean) Fantastic Four: ahem.

Boom goes the dynamite! Picture coming tonight (California time), along with the next hint... Bonus points to whomever can name the distinct 3-segmented nunchaku he wields. (the weapon type - I don't think he named it "Clara Belle" or anything like that).
