Purist Superhero Figures

MattZitron · January 8, 2013

Apologises for the awful picture.

Here's my purist Beta Ray Bill:

I showed this to the creator Walter Simonson and he said "LOL! This may be the best BRB figure I've seen."

I've also done purist Zombie Avengers, and Earth 666 Avengers (if you're reading the current run on Secret Avengers you'll see who I mean.)

I'll post them soon!

That is a fantastic Stormbreaker. I've got a WIP Beta Ray Bill, so that has given me some inspiration. Nice job. :)

Thanks dude. Really happy with it. Went for a few trys and even had one end bigger like it should be, but preferred the look of this one.

I made a few more minifigs. Warning: The pictures are a bit large.

Scarlet Spider

4 of the original 5 X-Men

For Angel, use the same basic parts and use the wing technique made by ReZourceman.

MattZitron · January 9, 2013

Love the Iceman. He's inspired.

Oky · January 10, 2013

Yay! I'm one of the X-Men! :grin:

Nice work everybody! Especially you, ReZourceman! You certainly are rezourceful when it comes to purist Marvel figs! :snicker: Keep 'em coming!

I have some purist figs of my own. Here's my Young Justice team:

Ras Al Ghul by sok117, on Flickr

Purist Ra's Al Ghul and Talia.

Love Ra's, what piece did you use for his head?

ReZourceman · January 10, 2013

Those are fantastic Oky. Whose is Kid Flash's torso?!

Oky · January 10, 2013

Same here. It's Blackbeard's.

Thanks. It's from the CMF Surfer.

Hey folks, I'm very new here and just loving this thread. I just wanted let you all know how inspired I am to do some super hero, purist customs of my own. I am a photographer by trade and have been involved in creating scenery and characters for tabletop gaming for the past 10yrs. I hope these skills come in handy!

Anyway, thank you for the ideas and keep 'em coming!

ReZourceman, what torso did you use for Wasp?

**LuxorV** · January 10, 2013

Looks like Savage Opress torso to me.

MattZitron · January 10, 2013

Thanks dude. I'm a moron and didn't see he'd answered on Flickr!

These are great, but I think Aqualad needs a red torso.

What about this one:

Oky · January 10, 2013

These are great, but I think Aqualad needs a red torso.

Thanks. Some people on Flickr said that as well, but I disagree. To me his tank top is clearly orange. Perhaps a darker shade of orange than Aquaman's, but orange nonetheless. Plus he needs to have that Atlantean belt buckle, so this torso is pretty much perfect for him in my opinion. The only thing he might be missing is those straps around his shoulders, but oh well. Besides, isn't that torso you suggested dark red? Someone suggested using Deadpool's torso, but I don't think that would suit Aqualad at all since it's too... deadpoolish. :sceptic:

Hobbestimus · January 11, 2013

I've always precieved Aqualad's torso as Dark Red, but my Young Justice exposure has been limited. Hey, as long as you're happy with him. :)

Repeter · January 13, 2013

Wow, you people are very inspiring. As soon as I saw this thread, I knew I had to make some of my own and my mind has been occupied with what mini parts could combine to make what figs. Fairly insane, once you delve into some BrickLink research.

I don't have a very large selection of minifigs to butcher and this is my first stab at this purist thing, but suggestions are more than welcome. I am going to make some orders soon so any parts you think would improve my stuff, lemme know! As you can see, most of my ideas were totally ripped off from you fine folks here. Thanks for all the great stuff!

Scarlett Spider and a very loose interpretation of Dormammu (I have some ideas how to make this guy better,some chopping and a purple rubberband...but it wouldn't be purist anymore):

Sabertooth (I'd like to use Aang legs, but that mini is pricey in secondary market), Prof X and Cyclops:

Punisher (lol at his torso) , Crossbones and Winter Soldier (how to make hand better?!?):

Wasp and Yellowjacket (he has a black visor that is hard to see):

Ras, just after nursing off the Lazarus T...Pit (eye roll here) and the all-too-easy Man-bat:

FYI, to anyone looking to make an awesome Taskmaster like the couple in this thread, that perfect torso is from the Viking line. I'm all over that. Where to get a white hood, though?

RaincloudDustbin · January 13, 2013

Awesome figs, but they don't make white hoods so it's time to get the paints out!

ReZourceman · January 13, 2013

Those are awesome!

Great idea for Yellowjackets wings too!

I have some more to come, made The Wrecking Crew and Crimson Dynamo. I am working on Mandarin.

Thanks, you are the man with the purist Marvel stuff. Consider me a fan...and I hope you don't mind people blatantly copying you, with credit, of course.

Can't wait to see your new stuff, I love the Wrecking Crew and Crimson Dynamo!

@ Repeter, could you please reduce the pics size to 800 pixels maximum, as per our Member Guidelines? Thank you.

Does anyone have any pictures of Batman's cowl on Nova's head and Nova's helmet on Batman's head? I want to see if we can give them both a few different expressions.

Hobbestimus · January 13, 2013

I don't have pics, but I tried Batman's cowl on Nova's head yesterday...no worky. Nova's visor is set too low.

Legoroni · January 13, 2013

Darn. Did you try it with the new cowl?

The Joker1 · January 13, 2013

Good day everyone, I have been watching this therad with great interest over the past few weeks and I must say I have seen some extrodinary figures created. So i feel it is time to show some of mine. I have done purist figures before, Some of you may remember these- http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=72509

Well here are a few more for your enjoyment.

(I am a big time batman fan so thats pretty much all you will get from me)

We will start with the classsic style figures-

First Mad Hatter, Pretty standard but i ike him

-- 012 by Joker 789, on Flickr

Black mask, Again very simple.

-- 010 by Joker 789, on Flickr

Using the spare head in jokers funhouse I made an extra riddler.

-- 014 by Joker 789, on Flickr

My personal favorite MAN BAT. If i had the head/ears from the MF fig i would use those.

-- 009 by Joker 789, on Flickr

Now onto the arkham games style figures-
