Black Widow (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
After being jealous of the many Black Widow customs people have been doing using the latest ML females, I finally had some time to catch up on making some simple customs and follow suit with Widow....[See More]

Valkyrie (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
ML Hulkbuster wave Valkyrie torso. ML Target 3pack Warbird lower body and head. Mattel WWE upper arms. The Hulkbuster wave Valkyrie from Hasbro is nice, much better than the shrimpy 2-pack one we...[See More]

Hammerhead (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Diamond Select Gotham Penguin with arms from DCUC figures, hands from Mattel WWE. Torso and neck were shortened to get the Gotham Penguin base to ML scale....[See More]

Drax the Destroyer (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
I had an Etrigan upper body lying around and thought it'd make a good base for a classic Drax when he was reanimated into his brutish form but before he started getting drawn like the Hulk. It's a...[See More]

Firelord (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
I always thought Firelord looked really cool. I think I first came across him in a Thor comic where he and Herc were watching over Jane Foster I think, while Thor fought Absorbing Man down in the...[See More]

Adam Warlock (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
I remember reading classic Adam Warlock comics back as a teenager. He and other cosmic characters were among my favorites. The Magus story arc was trippy for me, and it blew my mind when Starlin...[See More]

Black Knight (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Boy is it a pain to open up those DCUC torsos to swap the shoulders. Head …………………. Hasbro ML Black Knight Body and boots …………………. DCUC Dr. Midnite Arms and legs …………………. DCUC...[See More]

Swordsman (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Another DCUC into Marvel character conversion. I just followed the path of other customizers who've used the same recipe....[See More]

Valkyrie (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Did her modern costume and used pretty much the same recipe as Raybot did of a Mattel WWE female and a DCUC Power Girl head. I looked at photos of his Val to try to sculpt the hair for mine, but I...[See More]

Captain Marvel Mar-Vell (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Not much to say on this one. Pretty straightforward repaint and head swap. A bit of sculpting for the lines in the boots and the bracelet....[See More]

Magneto (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
I wanted to reuse the ML Magneto's boots on this one. I hate doing the sort of costume detail that are on his boots and gloves so if there's a chance to cannibalize the original ones then I usually...[See More]

Vision (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
With Hasbro now making MLs a bit bigger overall, the DCUC bodies fit in better scale wise than compared to the older MLs. So I figured I take advantage of all the DCUC fodder that I had accumulated...[See More]

Emma Frost White Queen (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
I worked on this off and on over the course of 2-3 years. The body was made from a bunch of figures: DCD Arisia, ML Shanna, Tomoe from some line long ago for the legs, and one Hasbro ML Elektra for...[See More]

Executioner Skurge (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Head …………. SOTA Streetfighter Honda Torso, crotch, hips …………. Mattel WWE Elite Mark Henry Arms …………. ML Hulking Gloves …………. ML Piledriver Legs …………. Spiderman Classics Juggernaut Feet …………. ML...[See More]

Phantom Lady (DC Universe)
by GrownNerd
I used casts of a reworked DC Direct Live Wire torso for this to get good range of movement in that thoracic joint. From the belt down is mostly DCUC Powergirl with shins from DCUC Sapphire Wonder...[See More]

Omega Red (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Phineas Curmudgeon suggested this recipe to me. I had a Piledriver with intention as fodder. He had the vision of a better Omega Red using it. I had the relevant parts of the old OR left from a prior...[See More]

Abbey Chase (Danger Girl)
by GrownNerd
A lot of fodder parts went into this one. I had a McFarlane Abbey Chase that I was going to put on the trading block, but then realized that with not much work I could transfer the head and hands...[See More]

Stegron the Dinosaur Man (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
When the Marvel Select Spiderman movie Lizard came out, it looked to be too good a base for Stegron to pass up. I finally got around to doing it...[See More]

Adam Strange (DC Universe)
by GrownNerd
Adam Strange in his classic costume. Kitbash using DCUC Flash so I don't have to paint much red, and character specific elements from the the DCD classic Adam Strange figure....[See More]

Polaris (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
When the DCD Harbinger figure came out years ago I thought the head would make a good Polaris, what with the helmet having a resemblance to Magneto's and Polaris having magnetic powers and all. I sat...[See More]

Havok (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Too bad the camera didn't really pick up the painted glow effect very well. It looks much smoother and less grainy in real life. I transitioned it with different layers of metallic blue and...[See More]

Classic Namor (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Not much to say on this. Just following in the footsteps of the many other customizers who've used the WWE Elite bodies for Namor. I used a DCUC lower legs because I like the look of the sculpt...[See More]

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
by GrownNerd
Just because there should be an ultra-articulated Lara Croft. This is a majorly reworked piece from one I did years ago which looked crappy by today's standards. Sort of fun to put together. The SOTA...[See More]

Sasquatch (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Another figure I finished back in 2006. I always pair this guy up with my Puck custom because at the time I thought it would be fun to tackle them both at once, a really small guy and a really big...[See More]

Puck (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
This was an older custom that I made back in 2006 that I recently gave a bit of paint update to, mostly putting the big P on his costume whereas I had left the costume almost all black before. I had...[See More]

Juggernaut (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
I mashed together an ML6 Juggy with a Marvel Select Avengers Hulk. This guy has got pretty good joint ranges for his size. His helmet is removable due to transferring Juggy's head, traps, and helmet...[See More]

Dejah Thoris Princess of Mars (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Not to much to say on this one. Pretty simple. It completes my John Carter of Mars series....[See More]

White Ape of Mars (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
Part of my John Carter of Mars series. This one took some time to do because I was experimenting with making the lower torso have functional articulation using a big ball magnet, and it was more...[See More]

Tars Tarkas Green Martian of Mars, from John Carter (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
This guy was fun to do. A lot of artists imagine the four armed Burroughs Martians as just having an extra set of arms growing out of the rib cage. I see them as needing another set of torso muscles...[See More]

John Carter Warlord of Mars (Marvel Legends)
by GrownNerd
One of my simpler customs. It's pretty obvious that the Blue Lantern Atom figure is a dead ringer for John Carter, so I used it to update a crappier version of a John Carter custom I did 6 years ago....[See More]
