The-Daryl Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 If you don't like it, ignore it. A lot of people find it useful. A video is pictures and words, and yeah....what's the problem. Sorry if that came across as terse, that wasn't my intent. It's just typically when I'm reading a thread (on a text message board) I expect to be able to... well read it. Not watch it. I'm not knocking it for folks that find it useful. It was just an honest query (since on the last page there were several videos). Videos augmenting a post are very different than just using a video as a post. Some of us have bandwidth limits, no audio, hearing problems or any other number of other reasons that mean a few words and a pic or two are preferred (and doesn't seem outside the bounds of reason while on a text based board). I'm pretty new here. I've enjoyed this particular thread very much (I actually have read all the way to the beginning)- I've found lots of inspiration (and even a bit of awe) in these pages. So it wasn't my intent to ruffle any feathers. I'd just like to continue to enjoy it. Quote
ReZourceman Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Ah no worries. Sorry for the over defensive response in that case. I'll add a brief few words next time and pics if possible/relevant. So...I made a weird custom this week. Have not got photos yet but I will get them up soon. It isn't perfect and it DOES look pretty goofy but I did Shumah Gorath. Lol. Quote
korpen4444 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I have an idea, I even did it, but I don't have a picture(yet). Kid Flash: 2012 Robin legs, plain yellow torso with red hands, Rebel Pilot face, mutt williams hair in orange. Penguin Thug: Dark Tan legs, 2010-present Hoth Rebel Trooper torso with black hands, any flesh(or yellow) face, black pixie cap(or City crook's hat) Quote
ianmrid Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 So...I made a weird custom this week. Have not got photos yet but I will get them up soon. It isn't perfect and it DOES look pretty goofy but I did Shumah Gorath. Lol. Must see this!! I have a couple of small updates Improved Jubilee, with different hair and the Friends pink shades (shame she can't properly wear them): Improved Dazzler with the torso suggested by autorazr earlier in the thread - definitely an improvement!: Archangel - wings idea stolen from minifigs4u's Falcon custom - but its all purist still: Sadly everything else I've done recently is non-purist, so they are confined to Flickr :) Quote
rosalind14 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Much better Dazzler! Love it. I also love the darker wings on Archangel, completely different to the usual white ones...obviously! Quote
autorazr Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) ianmrid, I was thinking about doing that hair and glasses combo for Jubilee, Its good to see it done, not sure If I'm gonna go through with it though. Damn good Archangel too, reminds me of him in Uncanny X-Force Dark Angel Saga. I have got a massive buildup of new figs to post, expect updates this week from me Edited January 27, 2014 by autorazr Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 If anyone wanted to make a purist Batman Beyond, I think this new Nightwing figure is best choice for a body. A black Bat-cowl over a plain white/black face and bam, you're done. If anyone has any better head choices, preferably ones that could give him white eyes but a black everything-else lay 'em out there. Quote

If anyone has any better head choices, preferably ones that could give him white eyes but a black everything-else lay 'em out there. That's a good idea! As far as head choices... What about the TMNT Foot Soldier heads? Do the eyes line up with the cowl's eye slits? (I don't have one to check, but that would be black bottom and silver eyes, close to white). Quote
Oky Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Kid Flash: 2012 Robin legs, plain yellow torso with red hands, Rebel Pilot face, mutt williams hair in orange. Not bad, but I personally like my version much better. If anyone wanted to make a purist Batman Beyond, I think this new Nightwing figure is best choice for a body.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw that Nightwing too. The Foot Soldier head doesn't work at all unfortunately. I just tried it and the eyes peek out under the nose and all you see in the eye slits is a bit of the red headband. I think the only head that will do the trick is the Symbiote Spider-Man head. I tried the cowl on Venom and it looks pretty good (except for the mouth of course, which looks creepy as heck on Batman). Quote
korpen4444 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Not bad, but I personally like my version much better. Yours looks good too. One thing though, Superboy has Dark blue pants(though I have blue on mine), and Robins arms need to be either black, or flesh. BTW, The Foot Clan Ninjas make good League of Shadows soldiers. I don't have any, but I think they would work. Edited January 29, 2014 by korpen4444 Quote
ReZourceman Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I have not got a decent photo of Shumah yet, just the over-flashed one from my phone, but in the mean time here is the video. Like I say, its a bit cheesy and weird and bad but....ha. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Does anyone know of any good Chima figures to use in making a custom Cheetah? Something along the lines of the classic look where she was actually an anthropomorphic big cat? Quote

Something along the lines of the classic look where she was actually an anthropomorphic big cat? There are going to be two new heads coming out later this year that would work well. There is a female lion head and a tiger head, which share a mold. Quote

There is a female lion head and a tiger head, which share a mold. I'm mostly going for the head underneath the helmet-thing, but a female lion should do the trick! For once I'll be waiting on Chima sets. Somehow things like this have made me consider buying Chima and Ninjago sets, both of which I swore off given they're simply gimmicks taking up a valuable timeslot on Cartoon Network and riding on the back of ever-passing money-grabbing Canadian animes designed to sell toys. ANYWAY, yeah I'll have to start grabbing these sets while I have the chance. I need some bird parts, 2 gorillas (one black for Gorilla Grodd, one white for Ultra Humanite), and that cyborg guy from Ninjago for a custom Cyborg. Probably others as well, when the opportunity presents itself. Quote
autorazr Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Hey ya'll new stuff today! Avengers Academy's Reptile, Finesse, X-23, Hazmat and Instructors Tigra and Quicksilver. More 90 ish X-Men Emma Frost Havok Gambit And some randoms Anachronism of Avengers Arena (will do a group shot of the whole cast once my Darkhawk parts come in, most will be the same pieces from Avengers Academy though) Doombot of Avengers A.I. pics are kinda cruddy this time around (didnt use lighting) and my figs are super dusty, gross.

ReplicaProfile Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 pics are kinda cruddy this time around (didnt use lighting) and my figs are super dusty, gross. Pictures look pretty good to me. Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5471/12242490233_f4f624d1b6_b.jpg Purist Ultimate Hawkeye. I've always loved Hawkeyes ultimate look, pretty cool. And with the new ninjago scarf piece, I'm havin a field day! The torso is one of the Chima ravens, can't tell because of mah crappy lighting Edited February 1, 2014 by LuxorV Quote
ReZourceman Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Autorazr and I'm a brickmaster, awesome stuff! Love obscure characters. Quote
ianmrid Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Another update - I think these are all purist (aside from some coats and capes - I can't remember which are and aren't as all mine are in one bag!) From the X-Men: Professor X: Jubilee: From one of my fav teams ever - 90's X-Factor: Multiple Man: Random: Val Cooper: Assorted others: Cloak & Dagger: Darkstar: Sunder: Arcade - I don't like the hair so much on this one, have a better one on Flickr but it's non-purist: Mimic: Magik - I thought this plate would make a good teleportation disc: Quote
Freddy Bricker Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) ianmrid, those are great! Though the face on Val Cooper looks like a decal, the figure still looks great! Also who is this Tigra, is she like Marvel's version of Cheetah? Edited February 4, 2014 by Freddy Bricker Quote
