Purist Superhero Figures

[Tobias_Jay]

@SirBrickalot That Zod is magnificent! I may have to get some of those HF armor pieces after all. Thanks for sharing.

I was inspired, after watching Amazing Spider-Man 2, to make a custom Green Goblin. Apologies for crappy photo quality.

^ Thanks!

Nice GG by the way!

(800th post! )

[KCMatze]

Really nice job Wall E!! That is one very accurate Green Goblin. Really like it.

What is the 'HF' armour piece used for Zod?

They're from the current minifigure scale Hero Factory sets

[Sir Brickalot]

^ Yea and it's super useful!

In case you guys didn't see it in the Licenced forum, here's my attempt at a Professor X wheelchair. My main priority was making sure that when placed next to a regular figure Xavier wouldn't be taller. It's not perfect, since I haven't been able to figure out how to get the wheels to spin, but I'm pretty happy with it.

(Wolverine for scale.)

[ReZourceman]

That's a really good Prof X. One of the best I've seen.

I've been meaning to make HulkBuster for a while. Still needs a tiny bit of work, but pretty happy with this.

Nice Hulkbuster! I decided to create some X-Men figures:

First up, Professor X.

Do you like him? In my opinion, I love the wheelchair, even if I say so myself.

Next, Shadowcat, based on her X-Men 3 costume.

This might ned a bit of work, but I think the backwards Faora-Ul torso is perfect.

Iceman:

Pretty happy with this one. Again, based on his X3 appearance, represented by a backward Zod torso.

Finally, Pyro in X3.

I quite like this one, though now I'm thinking that Starlord's torso will work well with this figure.

What do you think?

Nice work! The wheelchair could be a bit more accurate, but is still cool. I think the Mutt Williams torso would be OK for Pyro, but I like your version.

I like the Hulkbuster, but I think it needs a better arm attachment. Try using the Mixel's joints.

[ReZourceman]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm gonna do. These joints are absolutely incredible.

Thank you! Your HulkBuster is great, if anything it could use a bit more bulk on the arms and legs.

[Sir Brickalot]

Next up, I created The Rhino from ASM2.

HF IFB parts come in handy a lot when creating customs! Anyway, I really love this.

Here it is opened up:

You can see that Aleksei Sytsevich fits snugly inside.

I also created a custom Robin;

Dunno if he ever wore a suit like this, but it looks cool so whatever.

Finally, Man-Bat.

The Pteradon wings work great for this!

C&C Apprieciated.

[Numbuh1Nerd]

Sir Brickalot, PLEASE get me tutorial for that Rhino suit! I love it so much!! The minifig inside could use some work, mostly a different torso. That mask on Robin makes him look really old. The suit itself actually seems familiar, he may have worn something like that at one point. I'd suggest finding a way to attach Man-Bat's wings closer to where his arms go, maybe even attaching them to his arms. They don't look quite natural the way they are. Good stuff overall, Sir!

[Sir Brickalot]

Thanks Numbuh1Nerd! Glad you like The Rhino. I'll create an LXF file for him soon. The ironic thing is, I haven't even seen ASM2 yet.

I actually agree about Robin, that suit gives me deja vu.

I'll work on Man-Bat, thanks for the suggestion!

[Sir Brickalot]

... And here's the LXF File for The Rhino.

(By the way, the separate module shoul be attached to the 3M ball cup on the back, but LDD won't let me... It looks way better in reality than digitally )

Great customs! Love your Rhino!

I think Aleksei Sytsevitch could do with a bit of work-perhaps use a different torso and black legs-and do you think the new Clone head would work well?

And Robin is Pretty cool. I like the use of the LR head. If you painted the new Wolverine mask and uses the LR head underneath it I reckon you could make a great Nite Owl II figure!

[The Brick King]

What is the best Wolverine head for a purist movie Logan? The one from the new X-Men set or Deadpool's Chopper?

[BlueberryWaffles]

They both look pretty much the same. You could use either one though I would do the Chopper one because there is an angry face.

Must...have..that..Rhino...great job on him, Sir Brickalot!

[KingPixels]

The Chopper one is much better, as I think they based Wolvie's head on Hugh Jackman's likeness. The newer one is more cartoony. I can't find anyone selling the old one by itself on Bricklink though :(

[The Brick King]

Oh, thanks for the help! I actually have the Chopper Wolvie, so that should help. Now to find a good torso...

[Sir Brickalot]

Great customs! Love your Rhino!

Thanks! Yeah, the minifig inside the suit was only really there to show off that it can fit one, but I like your suggestions, so I'll work on him. Also, great idea for Nite Owl II!

Thanks again!

This is such a great topic!

My first is the red lantern Atrocitus:

And Here is my Cyborg:

[KingPixels]

Awesome idea with the helmet!

[Dr Leg O Brick]

Love the Cyborg custom! As KingPixels says fantastic idea on the helmet, the torso looks extremely appropriate for Cyborg, and his blaster is executed well. Great work!
