Thanks, TENIME. Though I reeally should have looked closer before I started cutting. Senator Kelly was supposed to get the jacket with the black tie and Mystique should have had the blue tie. I also agree that of the three songs, Cosmic Castaway probably works best with the character. At some point I need to remember to take a picture of her in her transformed state with Sauron/Reaper's wing hands.

Just a really quick update of my Days of Futures Past Transformation Mystique, Senator Kelly, and First Appearance Rachael Summers. DoFP by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr

Belts and torso covers, then. None are pegged in. I don't know if we've ever made a scabbard or sheath that was removable from a belt or torso cover. Marvel Series 9 Blade Series 25 Ska'ar Exclusive Taskmaster Curse of Mutants Blade Deadpool Corps Deadpool Battle Beasts Vorin Antalor's knife Also the case could be made for Thundercats Lion-O's Sword of Omens dagger form fitting into the claw shield and then onto the belt peg. There are likely more but those are the ones in my collection, but as the saying goes "the more you know".

Thanks, Kostis. If only more of those parts were from Sif. Still from the first look at the SDCC Red Riding Hood the need to turn the parts into a custom called to me no matter that I had to pay so much to get her. Though I suppose I can't really complain, considering I paid the same amount just to get the two Robocop pistols to complete her.

So I'm getting closer to finalizing the names for the crew of the Vapor Trails. However, I want to post a couple of customs that that have been waiting for the parts needed for completion. First up Nightcrawler in the fur for the swimsuit line and the other is my Prototype Captain Falcon. Falcap has been finished since about an hour after the news that he would be the next Captain America but I was waiting to get a movie Falcon to give him those wings. That was a mistake because he was an overloaded mess so I've settled on keeping this version as his prototype suit until the new version was ready for him. new customs by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr Now on to the mercenary crew of the Vapor Trails: Cherry Bomb, Just'N Imm-Age, Wild One, Downtime, and Johnny B. Goode. I'm still working on the name for the Skrull member of the team but I've narrowed the field down to Cinnamon Girl by Type O Negative, Cosmic Castaway by Electrasy, or Renegade Survivor by The Wailing Souls.

If there is a possibility of vehicles I'd bet on Buck's Ranger 3 Space Shuttle. Its design is pretty spot on as other Minimate vehicles plus it could do double duty for any future super-deformed space shuttles.

That one isn't in my collection but I'll add it to the list of possibilities.

What if the Wolverine was transparent with an adamantium skeleton printed on it? That would be a combo pack worth picking up multiples of.

My nephew's favorite is Rocket with Drax and Groot tied for second. As to language and themes his only problem was trying to understand how Rocket was the only one that seemed to understand Groot. After a long discussion about body language, tone, inflection, and how after being around someone for a long time you can just understand what they mean he hits me with "Oh you mean like R2-D2 in Star Wars?". Needless to say I felt stupid for not making a such a simple connection as an example.

Free Bird does tend to jump to the top of the list but the problem is that the song doesn't really fit the character. The same with Rockin' Robin and Lodi. So far those are the only songs that are in my collection so I'll have to listen to the others to see if they fit. So far the closest I've gotten to a place holder for her is Steppenwolf's Jupiter's Child. As frustrating as it has been trying to get names and songs that fit it has also been fun at the same time.

After watching Guardians of the Galaxy I decided to put together another little group of space misfits. However, this time I've made things a bit more challenging by trying to give each character a name that is also a song title. As you can see one custom has so far eluded finding a name and the others, aside from Cherry Bomb, are just place holders until something better comes along. Though I should point out that Imm-Age has to keep that particular part of his name to fit into already established continuity. Any and all suggestions are welcome. New by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr

I like the idea but is that a new thing? Didnt we get something similar with Nick Fury Jr. and transforming Thing/transforming Hulk? What about the concept of having every character in the wave with parts for an alternate look? So instead of eight characters with the Mix & Match pattern there are actually sixteen?

Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Avengers. 1. Iron Man & Ronan (Guardians of the Galaxy) 3. X-23 & Sentinel (X-Men, new costume and army builder, wave 59 overlap) 2. New costume/re-do. Ties in to another box set. 4. Re-do/Re-do. I'm guessing that the Spider-Man set is the other box set tie in and I'm going to say that the New Costume will be Vulture and the re-do will be Kraven the Hunter. That leaves just an Avengers set and taking a stab in the dark I'm guessing Vision (Non Phasing) & Abomination (Bulked up). While not completely wish listing, sure I'd like that line up, the only one I must have is X-23 so for once I can complete a team in a timely manner. Though no matter what the final line up is I'm happy with just GK Iron Man and Ronan.

I still need a few more customs before a calender became an option but even then I probably wouldn't go to the trouble of making one. While I have another couple of chest blocks on order the only additional character I have planned is Iron Fist and I have to wait until Best of wave 3 is released for the correct chest.

Put the werewolf with set two and make set three Lock, Shock and Barrel with the fourth slot filled by their walking bathtub using minimate arms for its legs.

There's an image I did not need stuck in my head. Damn my vivid imagination.

I could go for 19 being a hodge podge wave Iron Man & Ronin Thor with Axe & Loki Captain Marvel with Chewie & Kid sized Rocket with extra Ferkins X-23 (ANX Uniform) & Professor Pryde (With jacket and guns to hang out with Star Lord)

The last, for now, Marvel Swimsuit characters: Phoenix boy toys Wolverine and Cyclops, the Too Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Daredevil: Man without pants. swimsuits 03 by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr Then moving on to a group of random customs: AXIS Red Onslaught, Agent Barnes, Nova Zik, Gatherers Universe Gerret Lancaster the Golden Knight, and Z-Day survivor Videographer Carol White.

New Retailers: Sears/K-Mart is a single entity instead of separate retailers.

You got it in one. I cut it off from an original Spawn figure and glued it to a minimate belt. Unfortunately photoshop is beyond both my computer and my abilities.

Just thought I'd put this here so that this custom series could receive a bit more coverage. Marvel Swimsuit Heroes Heat Armor Iron Man, Thor: God of the Beach, Public Indecency Captain America, Hawkeye Exposed, and Locker Room Punisher. Marvel Swimsuit Heroes by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr

Unfortunately I don't have any heads with sunglasses however after reading your request I did assemble a Locker Room Punisher. However, I will admit that I'm feeling a bit disturbed at what I came up with. (No pun intended!) Punisher Locker Room by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr Thanks for the offer ElGallo21, but it isn't so much a matter of finding the parts, but being able to afford to pick them up. My local Hastings still has three packs of Shanna and Reaper for plenty of arms and legs and a few Street Fighter X Tekken for a couple of chests. Yeah, I'm thinking of using the Fighting Chance Cap Belt withe the over sized pouches and giant "A" on the buckle as soon as I can afford it. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I'm fairly certain this isn't what you want to see, I will not be doing any females in this series due to the fact that they are already well represented. While yes, those two characters are fairly conservatively dressed, my "swimsuit" series is going to be entirely male focused.

Re: Cap, just be glad I went with blue instead of the white. The white version was really disturbing. I've considered a Wolverine custom since there are a number of shirtless variations and I hadn't considered Cyclops since he isn't an Avenger however I do have an extra Cyclops head so now the only problem is getting more naked chests and legs as I'm currently out of those parts.
