Modifying Marvel Minimates

Only reason to get the Dark Phoenix Cyke is for the jacket to make TAS Morph.

Oooh - very nice. Who's head and hair did you use?

Gotham Penguin is the head. Very happy to find a great use for it as the rest of his body is also in use by me for a Jarvis so now almost all of that Minimate is in use.

Hair was just pulled from a bag of hairpieces, can't work out whose it is. Even that Penguin hair would have worked fine to be honest.

LOVE that hairpiece. I've used it for a couple of Phoenix scenes. Looks great on Wanda too, I see!

Thanks! It looks like a mini version of the Legends figure

Here's a fun QC/WIP. Almost all stock parts, but I trimmed a harness piece and painted it orange:

If I do anything else, it'll be to swap out the cape for a Classic Vision cape and paint it, since its shape is more comic-accurate for DS.

I LOVE IT!! 😍😍 I had the same plan for that Havok head when I first saw it! I’m just so lazy and I haven’t gotten around to doing this. Great job!

[Kotter Comics]

That's very cool! Would you mind sharing the "recipe"?

[elhonez]

Thanks! And no problem. It came together over some time, so I may have forgotten a few bits, but here goes:

Legs, boots, gloves, sword: Deathstroke

Torso/pelvis/arms are likely all from modern X-Factor minis

Cape: Hobgoblin

Head: X-Factor Havok

Harness: I forget, but it's clear from the back of it that I used an x-acto knife to cut something off and make it flush with the cape. Maybe a backpack piece?

Thanks!

Oh man, completing the 80s Defenders team is one of my dreams. I wanted to make Devil-Slayer for ages. Even pegged the same Deathstroke and Hobgoblin parts but could never work out the torso. Was going to settle for the old Taskmaster torso which I think I could live with.

We still don't even have a Hellcat. I've no hopes we can ever get around to getting an actual Devil-Slayer or Gargoyle.

[elhonez]

I did a very easy Hellcat QC many years ago. I may eventually go back and paint the eyes white:

...although it's consistent with some variant appearances:

[AFMcGill]

Firestar, Sentry, Batgirl... where's the sash from? Corsair?

[elhonez]

Jewel, backwards. Corsair would be better (great call!), but he wasn't available at the time.

[AFMcGill]

Don't have the Batgirl head (and the spare Sentry parts I had are the other Sentry Minimate), but Frankie Raye torso works better for Hellcat and possibly matches well with the older Sentry arms you're using:

Might have to track down that Batgirl head. And other Sentry. And Deathstroke parts so that spare Hobgoblin cape can get used for something besides Hellcat's accessory.

[Kotter Comics]

These are amazing!  I also have no expectations of the Defenders being made. However, a small part of me is hoping that if DST can repurpose Hulking's wings for Gargoyle, then...
