It was their graduation looks that first started in Uncanny X-Men annual 10 when Longshot joined the team. It showed up as white in the first iteration but then made two more appearances in red (that I also kit bashed but I just love the white version more. Quote
Polarboy Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 That is a pretty freaking awesome custom Quote

AFMcGill Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Two very quick ones you can make to compliment Wave 78: Valerie Cooper, X-Factor's liaison wore this costume intermittently when she would go into action with the team. This look debuted in X-Factor #78. The team made fun of it. It's just Polaris' costume and her Minimate with a different head (that hairpiece is the John Byrne Sue Storm mullet which I otherwise would never use but think works really well for this... the head is a spare Strike Force Psylocke which was just the first spare female head I had). The only major design difference is she has yellow lining down her legs which would be easy to probably find someone else who has that but I didn't feel it was essential. Also, she is wearing sneakers there which I don't think she does beyond that scene. Quicksilver wore this X-Factor uniform starting in X-Factor #93. Then he left the book after X-Factor #95. He also wore it in Uncanny X-Men #304 and #306 and, had Andy Kubert not just drawn him in his classic costume, should have been wearing it in X-Men #25 (the issue where Wolverine gets his skeleton torn out by Magneto). In the past, I used to just slap a Pietro head onto the old X-Factor Cyclops. But Havok's new chest block works even better and matches Pietro's look more. The rest is just that X-Factor Cyke with a Pietro head. Maybe if I was feeling a bit more inspired I'd try and use Cable parts to do the original version with all the gadgets that he only wore for that single panel there. Quote

This is a wave you need at least two of! In addition to those two you can take the Polaris hair piece and add it to the Jean head and the strike force costume to make her “government approved” costume. Also took the face to update the original Lorna. The spare Scott can be used for an X-Man, the spare Jean for a Husk, the Beast can go with either X-Men/Avengers, as for Wareen you can use a Kree head and the spare Alex hair to make an uncowled look (sure he had a mullet but we ignore that) or use the hair piece for Cannonball in his X-Men costume. I’m taking scissors to his wings to do a retracted wings look. Rahne of course needs three looks: full out Wolf Girl, her hybrid look, and human. I have all the photos ready to go but trying to only post on Instagram once a day. Edited November 6, 2019 by thereasonsy Quote
AFMcGill Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Ha, I think I was the first one to point out Husk wore it in that two panel appearance in Days of Future Now. Definitely worth using for a makeshift Husk, maybe even M and Jubilee, since it is Gen X's colours (give them all a different head or different flourishes like Jubliee's jacket and you can kinda get away with it). Someone, I can't remember who, wore the blue and white one in that Days of Future Now story too. And Hellion and Mercury wore those two costumes briefly in the Danger Room in an issue of New X-Men. There's also that one issue of Alpha Flight where their costumes get sent on the wrong flight and they have to wear X-Factor spares... loads of stuff to make. But I think Pietro and Val are the obvious ones. That Pietro, albeit it with the old X-Factor Cyclops, was like one of the very very first modifications I made. Your Val also made me realise she needs Alex's arms instead of Lorna's which is incredibly useful and perfect, since I needed Lorna's arms for Nate Grey and I had no use for Havok's arms). Wouldn't be able to reflect his powers, tattoos or his bigger size, but I can't help but feel Random is very very doable with a bunch of Thunderstrike parts and then some 'mates from the Walking Dead line. I can't remember what she wore but wasn't Shard's costume not entirely dissimilar to this Polaris too? Quote

I think her costume was basically just bishop's on a girl. I can't find a Pic of her wearing anything similar to this polaris Quote
BuffaloDelorean Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Would Havok's jacket work for Val? She's wearing one in the comic art. Quote
AFMcGill Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Polaris is meant to be wearing a jacket too - a thinner/smaller one, so they opted to just print it rather than tool it. Quote

Yes, she should be wearing Alex’s Jacket and tennis shoes but the jacket covers up the majority of the chest block so until I can cut it to fit I’m just displaying as is. For the shoes, well who’s seriously wearing Nike’s for a battle when you have Moira and Forge tech on hand. Quote
AFMcGill Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Still need to get a Cable head for him but X-Man is here X-Factor Havok, X-Factor Polaris, Cock Knocker (who I already had for his cape for 90s Black Knight), Uncanny Avengers Rogue. Plus spare head and hands I had. Quote
Heinous Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Not bad for a QC Nate! But doesn't that hair have a bun in the back? Quote

thereasonsy Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 I hope you all saw this GORGEOUS Captain Marvel figure on Instagram! I have been staring at it for days! Quote

BuffaloDelorean Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 I'd like to see Genis' blue and red starfield costume, to build up the Avengers Forever roster. Quote

thereasonsy Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Just some more fun with the X-Factor wave. X-Man Husk Human Rahne: Medium Wolfgirl And a Psylocke for good measure. Quote
NerdyTrev Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Anybody have a way to detach classic Avengers Wasp's wings from her chestpiece? I've had this figure for years and have been terrified of snapping the pegs off. Quote

I've had this figure for years and have been terrified of snapping the pegs off. Hot water trick just to be sure. Then after they dry and cool put a little lotion on the back pegs. I do that for all mine just to be sure and haven’t had an accident yet. Quote
thereasonsy Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 I kit bashed a Paladin and an updated Silver Sable. Quote
