Modifying Marvel Minimates

[TheMinimateKing30]

Finalized versions of my custom Giant-Man and Wasp figs;

Giant-Man is primarily based on his EMH counterpart (my favorite design of the character ever). The bulk of the figure is the Wave 44 Giant-Man from 2012, with the belt being taken from a first movie Ant-Man, the head a Wave 45 Captain America from the first Avengers movie, and the mask of a Wave 29 Captain America but with antennae cut from action figure package plastic glued on and painted.

Wasp is more loosely based on her EMH counterpart with predominant elements of her mid-2000s costume. Her head is a first Ant-Man movie Hope van Dyne (tho this figure is intended to be Janet van Dyne, for clarification) torso is an animated Wasp's, the legs a spare Wave 24 Venom I had, the gloves, boots, and wing harness from an X-Men: First Class Angel, and the wings from the original Wasp from 2008.

Overall, I'm super satisfied with how these two came out. Definitely will be having these as my placeholder figures with my Avengers stuff until Diamond finally puts out brand new figures of Hank and Janet later on 😆

I can't get the image to load, but I want to see them!

@TheMinimateKing30, those look really good! I would love a Wasp in that look.

Hang on. Let's see if it works now.

Very cool!

It’s been a while since I’ve finished a custom. But, I have two to share. The first is a custom Malekith and the second is a QC Punisher.

The Malekith has an animated Dracula face painted. And some MCU dark elves backing him up. 
 

The Punisher is Dutch face. I’m going to swap out the hair with Corsair’s hairpiece so he can have his bandana.

Both look incredible. I always preferred Frank with the grey gloves of his first appearance suit as opposed to the white ones. It's more of a tactical/stealth look and it makes the skull stand out more.

They look great Freaqualizer. I love the creative parts use.

[Freaqualizer]

Thank you, @TheMinimateKing30 and @elhonez!! I appreciate the kind comments. 😊

I have some parts arriving soon that will help me make one of the customs I’ve had on my project list for years now! I hope to have him all finished up very soon!

Is this an original character? Great usage of the Doctor Minn-Erva piece.

I think it is! I saw a bluejay land on my fire escape the other day and got inspired

[BuffaloDelorean]

I was expecting the Yellowjacket analogue from DC's Champions of Angor, so maybe this could be his Rita DeMara.

[Padrino]

I have a few more planned. Stay tuned!

An update for Polaris.

The metallic look was a unanticipated surprise!

Looks awesome, @Padrino!

Thanks!

Does anyone have a real life photo of a headswap of Cyclops Wave 81 head and visor on the Wave 68 Cyclops? Wondering if it works or the blue is just too "off".
