You ever experiment with some flavor of transparent head in that helmet?

I only have a trans-clear and trans-blue head and you can still see the black mark on the neck quite clearly. I debated trying white but a lot of other people had already done it and I wanted mine to be different.

Han's Torso from Force Awakens or Solo

That is an awesome idea!

I need some help with an Old Man Logan figure. I have the hair, head, and legs figured out, but need help with the torso.

These are my current options ranked from best to worst. Anyone else have other ideas?

Would someone mind testing out the Sandy Cheeks helmet with Scooby-Doo? I think it would work for a Cosmo figure but want to see if it fits.

A very unique idea, but sadly it doesn't fit entirely. It can sort of wedge, and if you don't move it around it'll stay, but it doesn't completely fit around the neck

Has anyone used this head for Cable? The "glowing" eye is on the wrong side but it is still there.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to share this. Would this head work for a purist Black Lightning?

It's got all the right details for a Black Lightning, but in the wrong colors. Personally, I'd go with the Black Vulcan head, but I'd be curious to see how this turns out!

This Head would work PERFECTLY for a Mach V minifigure

Credit to just2good for the picture. I hope it’s okay to post this but if it isn’t please take it down.

So recently, I got myself the new Sanctum Sanctorum, and it's amazingly beautiful. The minifigures were especially nice.

That being said, the Iron Spider in that set left me with the spare Ultimate Spider-man style Iron Spider unused. And similarly, the Doctor Strange in the IW Sanctum is nicer than the 2016 Strange.

 

This leaves me with the question, what are some good uses for the Doctor Strange and old Iron Spider parts? Like, has anyone created anything super good especially with the torsos?

I think I've seen a couple people use the Doctor Strange torso for Doctor Alchemy, but that's about all I can think of. Spider-Man stuff is kinda hard to reuse since it's so specific, but if you stretch your imagination a bit you could get a newer-style Spider-Woman out of it, maybe Lady Spider or some minifig version of SP//dr?

This torso could work for a comic Doctor Strange because it has the eye

Here is my take on the Ant-man and The Wasp characters (I improved the figures and added Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne). The only thing I still need to change is Ghost's hood from dark gray to white.

Those all look great! What head did you use for Ant-Man?

Wow, those look terrific? I would also like to know what head you used under the Ant-Man helmet.

[Brickovery]

The head is from space Batman from the Green Lanthern set (also Hank's torso uses the back printing from the same minifig). Surprisingly, even the Ghost face underneath antman's helmet somehow works.

Forgot to upload these last two batches here!

EDIT: Is anyone else having trouble uploading photos from Flickr? It seems the URL for embedding photos doesn't work anymore?

I've been trying to make some corrupt Gotham City cops. The one with the yellow hair is Lt. Flass, and the one with the bald patch is Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb.

The only problem here is that the Iron Fist head and Reverse Flash torso are two different shades of yellow. The plain bare-chested yellow torso might suit it a bit better, or you could try some different heads. I'd also probably spring for the red legs with yellow boots if I were you! Oh, and welcome to the magical world of minifig making!

It's been a little while since I posted (busy life will do that to ya), but I am very pleased with my most recent one:

Do the new mid-legs work with the standard legs (i.e. can you switch out standard and mid legs?). I don't know if this could be used anywhere but I'm sure someone could find a use for it.

Do you mean can the new legs go on a regular torso?

Becaus did so than yes, they can :)
