About Me

Hi Welcome to my Blog . Am a HUGE fan of the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection . But alas nothing is perfect and some of the costume choices were a little strange. Hence me starting to customize the figurines 'to get the collection I wanted' . This is a motto I use whenever I do a custom whether it be for myself or for someone else .

Beast

Ok

Here is the belated Beast (Hank McCoy ) addition

I was very tempted to do a few more verisons of this Marvel Character .

I looked him up on UXN and these are the looks he has had

So far

I consider 2 and 5 to be too similar to do both (although I have a work in progress pic that prob covers that version )

Soo tempting to use Wonder Man for costume number 6 .... but then I would have to continue and do ALL the others ... Space then becomes an issue.


I have to be honest and say that I was disappointed when I saw the version that Eaglemoss did ... But am now happy .. although the above customs have found new homes (except Grey) ... I will surely be revisiting these in the near future .

I want - will have costume number 5 for my personal collection .

Next update ... Not too sure ... Might showcase what I do with Multiple Man - Madrox ... from Multiple Man to multiple customs

Welcome again


Well last time I posted pics of My AVENGERS display . so I thought this time I would do the rest .

Ace also asked how many customs I owned ... and I have to be honest and say I am too scared to count :( ... All I know is there aint enough ..


There are still alot o characters EM have done - Will be doing that either need a more 'classic' look or just a slight makeover .


But I will try my best to get this collection how 'I want it' .


So here goes ... This is my BIG CABINET .. It is fact the 1st I bought a few years back and I can still remember when I didn't quite have enough figurines to fill a single shelf .. and to think we are not even half way through .


This is the ' Top Shelf '

keep changing thinga around .. But at the moment


Spiderman takes pole position on the Topper Most Shelf

Numbers are growing and still more due for release and to be maybe done as customs .. Would love to have a JJ Jameson at some stage .


Then we have the Fantastic Four ... along with the Inhumans

Displayed on custom shelves .. at the moment I have the luxury of not 'over crowding' my shelves ... Prefer to display the figurines with ' elbow room ' to show off the fantastic detail on the figurines ...

I snuck in a Few S.H.I.E.L.D. .. Nick fury - Dum Dum Dugan - Maria Hill ... Just to fill a little space ..

Surprises me that although the F4 is the oldest ' Marvel Family ' they have so few associated characters ... Compare this to the X men that take up Multiple shelves .. F4 struggle to fill a single .


Onto the middle shelves ... I won't post pics of the Avengers .. they have been shown in previous post :)

Here we have a collection of Avengers Villains ... Marvel Knights , and a few others that don't quite fit anywhere else

Finally we have the Bottom shelf .

X- Men characters ...


The very bottom shelf of the big cabinet is chock full of spare figs at the moment ..


Then I also have the ' Small Cabinet '



Top shelf of which is home to my Custom X-Men and X-Villains

Moving onto 1st Class X-Men and Astonishing X-Men line-up

Hulk and associated Villains

I have to add that the Grey Hulk custom was done by my then 9 year old Son (with a little Help). So is a prized possession ... Keep nudgung him towards reading Marvel Comics :)


Finally a shelf for the ' Cosmic ' Crowd ... Also bought a Marvel Legends Galactus (Em's is way too small .) Love how her towers over the CMFC figurines .





Well that is it for now . Collection is growing at a nice pace .

If anyone has any ideas for customs drop me an email to stewartwarrington@talktalk.net .

Avenger Assemble

Avengers
Kinda says it all ..

From the classic team ...

Still got to get a Giant Man .. or the confirmed Ant-Man to complete this 1st Team .

















To the amalgamation of the Avengers , so far released ....

Not sure what a 'Classic Team' should looklike ..

Captain America , Iron Man , Hawkeye , Scarlet Witch , Vision , Quicksilver and Thor I guess .

But I added in She-Hulk ,Hercules ,

Mainly because I have very little room elsewhere .
New Avenger


So tempting to redo these to mirror current events in the comics ...

But that is for a later day ,

So we have

Luke Cage , Spiderman (MIA) , Wolverine , Ronin , Dr Strange , Iron Fist , Echo














Mighty Avengers

This is how the Mighty Avengers line-up looked a year ago

Ms. Marvel , Iron Man , Wonderman , Ares , Black Widow
Sentry , Spiderwoman

Yellow Jacket snuck in there ... too ..
























Also Have the
DARK AVENGERS .

Iron Patriot , Ms. Marvel , Ares , Sentry

Still need to figure out a Wolverine and Captain Marvel ... Amazing Spiderman is underway and will be added after easter.


So there we have my collection of Avengers , Past , Classic , Present ... and soon Future :)

Quick entry to showcase a few New Customs

Here they are

Started with few Silver Surfers
.

Converted into a Classic Namor and Archangel custom.





So had to add Blazing Skull to make up the Invaders (with Captain America and Human Torch)

Also did a Ronin which is on Ebay (ends 14th March 09)



Ronin is on Ebay and I plan to list 3 or 4 customs a month , if anybody would like a particular custom listing on Ebay or creating ... then drop me an email ( stewartwarrington@talktalk.net )

Have a couple of ideas for the next 2-3 customs ... but next update will be about the Avengers .... More later ....

DC Customs




Ok time for a quick update .

Been asked by a few people on Ebay about DC customs ...

So here is my take on them , 90% of the DC customs I have done , has
been for a certain individual .

Personally I am a Marvel fan and know very little about the DC Universe .

As such I worked very closely with the (now owner) of the DC customs , sending pictures on an almost daily basis.

So here are a few ....

Started out with James Stewart - Green Lantern
Hawkgirl and a Batman Beyond .







Those where the beginning




Then came a few Justice Lords .....



Hot on the Heels was a simple repaint of Bane ... Not knowing much about DC I read his magazine and began to wonder why the figurine looked a little different (face mask and very pale skin)
So a little paint later and a DC custom is added to my collection.

That was swiftly followed by a custom Batman and Robin :) I had them spare and thought what the hell .... all have found new homes now though


Almost brings us slap bang upto date .... just did a little head swapping

Had the idea to do a Lex Luthor Custom ... The 1 released in his armoured suit never looked right to me ... I always envisage Lex as a menacing Bald guy in a suit

Hence



Followed that up the other week with an Alfred custom ....

So there we have it .... DC Customs to date....

IF I do any more then it will be for someone else .... I no longer collect the DC Series , concentrating on Marvel for now .

Well thats it for now .... ooops forgot about these 2 , Justice Lord Superman and Evil Supergirl



I can and do sell my customs ... best thing to do is drop me an email of what is required and an offer :)

Requests


Requests can be done .
