Krikkit Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hah i was thinking of doing this when i got home. Nice! Quote
adotnamedstud Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Awh man, both of them look so nice! Great work! Jealous of that Arsenal combo. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Oh man I need to know: which legs are you using and does that hood come in any sets on the shelves right now? I need that Arsenal in my life. Quote
CobaltMoon98 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Oh man I need to know: which legs are you using and does that hood come in any sets on the shelves right now? I need that Arsenal in my life. Thanks everyone. The legs are from Ninjago Swordsmen and the hood is only available in 75025. Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks everyone. The legs are from Ninjago Swordsmen and the hood is only available in 75025. That's an $70 set! Damn! It might just be worth it, though. Those minifigs have some useful prints. Do you know where that set is exclusive to? Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Just a thought: anybody feel like making that Nightwing-knockoff Cyclops costume? Other than the head, all you'd need to do is replace Nightwing's hips with red ones. Quote

TheBigRedCheese Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Great Job! I'm using that hair and maybe that face for my Cheshire too! Since I'm only mediocre at attaching pictures, I'm going to just put the Flickr links to some of my newer creations: Circe, Punisher and Ragdoll https://www.flickr.c...in/photostream/ - Circe + Deadshot's little pistol thingmababers from LB3 https://www.flickr.c...in/photostream/ - The Punisher + a shotgun + some purist 12 gauge ammo + Ragdoll. Enjoy! :) Edited March 2, 2015 by TheBigRedCheese Quote
autorazr Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Any ideas for a purist Spoiler? Nebulas body, I posted one a few pages back check it out. Edit: guess I didn't here she is http://i.imgur.com/exCFD6D.jpg Lady Loki http://i.imgur.com/18QN9PI.jpg I'm on mobile so not embedding images sorry Just a thought: anybody feel like making that Nightwing-knockoff Cyclops costume? Other than the head, all you'd need to do is replace Nightwing's hips with red ones. Do you mean his Phoenix Five outfit or his new uncanny x-men outfit? Edited March 3, 2015 by autorazr Quote
Numbuh1Nerd Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Any ideas for a purist Spoiler? I'd do what autorazr suggested, but maybe with a TMNT Foot Soldier head instead. Quote

Numbuh1Nerd Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I think it's pretty safe to say that not every design on here is completely original, especially with as much as we all talk about how much we want to make each other's figures. So, what other places do you guys find ideas? What do you search? Who do you follow? I've gotten some ideas and designs from Flickr, but it's so hard to find new stuff in between the posts of the six or seven different people I follow. Quote

I've gotten some ideas and designs from Flickr, but it's so hard to find new stuff in between the posts of the six or seven different people I follow. I just look up characters I want to make on flickr and see if anyone's made them. If not, I just look at bricklink and try to make the best combos I can. There's so many people that do custom stuff, I'm sure I prolly have a small portion of them on follow. Though I guess thats due to only really looking at dc stuff. Quote
Amset-Rah Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I'm not original. For instance I recently made a Black Panther that was inspired by someone in this thread, but my Coulson is somewhat original. Just the comb over hairpiece, Max Burns Ultra Agents torso and legs, and Bilbo's head until I can get a better face. Here's a few pics: Black Panther Agent Coulson I know Black Panther needs a bit of work, like I might replace the Catwoman mask with the new Batman cowl and he needs some claws and another cape, but I'm happy with him. Coulson needs another face and the same hairpiece in dark brown Quote
Zhagas Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Coulson needs another face and the same hairpiece in dark brown Here's one I did a while back if you're looking for suggestions... as a bonus the head is pretty easy to get hold of (I got it out of a cheapie SW set if I remember correctly.) Quote
Amset-Rah Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 That's exactly what I had in mind for Coulson in terms of head/hairpiece. That BFG looks stunning too, though mine (Not pictured) is more based on the Lego Marvel Superheroes version. But what would some of you suggest for Black Panther's head? I want to use the new Batman cowl but I mean underneath the cowl. Would a foot soldier head work? Quote

I want to use the new Batman cowl but I mean underneath the cowl. Would a foot soldier head work? Thanks! The gun was kind of an afterthought after I made Coulson with pieces that I had laying around (a bunch of them from the Agents set) but I grew pretty attached to it. Hmmm... that's a good question. I don't have one of the new Batman cowls in black yet (ironically it's in transit currently - should be here Friday.) I do have a silver one so I tried it out. Unfortunately, the foot soldier head does not fit quite right. I know it's hard to see (sorry for my crappy phone cam) but the foot soldier headband only comes about halfway down the eye slots and the foot soldier eyes are too low (you can see them poking out the bottom.) The only thing I could find that came close was the Venom head. If you're willing to put in a little elbow grease and Brasso off the mouth I think it would work decently. Really like the cowl for him - think it's gonna work well and looking forward to seeing it complete! Quote
Amset-Rah Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I have a Venom already and I thought about doing that, but I might get a spare, remove the mouth, and use the body for a Symbiote Spiderman with the custom head someone posted here a while back. It wouldn't be purist, but I like the idea all the same until we potentially get one. I'll do an update once I get the proper parts, but I like Black Panther as he is for now as strictly purist, but Coulson needs his changes ASAP. Thanks for the pics though, they're good enough for me to see. :D Edited March 4, 2015 by Amset-Rah Quote
Zergos Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I'm back with 3 more. 2 are my own creations that I pretend are in the DC universe as well. Also updated shade with a white head, I prefer this to the other head I used. Lemme know what you think, and if you have any suggestions, lemme know please :D Quote

Zergos Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Love the head! No top hat, though? I have one thats not purist, but I don't like posting non purist ahah. I'll get penguins eventually, just have been really lazy :D. Quote
