Maria Hill (Marvel Universe) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:74965
Name:Maria Hill
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Universe
Creator:Sopadealmejas  
Date Added:July 17, 2015
Base Figure:Black Widow
Height:3.75 inches
I've put more time into this figure than any other I've ever made to date. Not because I was slaving over detail, but because it was the first custom I ever started with. It is my trial and error figure. It is a simple paint job on a Black Widow body, Starwarsgeek cast of SDCC Mariah head, and Vortious holsters. I screwed up the original Widow holsters, because like I've said before I'm not fond of painting soft plastic. If you have any tips on painting soft plastic please let me know. All and all I'm happy with it. Until the Tampa Comicon starts having exclusive figures like San Diego I will have to keep making my own.

Very good job, she looks great.
I find that Dull Coat coating painted over can limit the stickyness to the soft plastic. Though I try not to use it as much as I can because no matter what, that soft plastic is a headache.

Tampa comicon is twice a year usually in February and August. It's no sdcc or nycc but it has its moments.

Soft plastic may get sticky depending on the chemicals used in their manufacturing,there are many types.I find you may paint most soft materials with acryllics, but you should never lacquer/varnish/seal them, otherwise they get all really gooey.
Some really bright, vivid colors tend to get stickier than others too. Didn't know there was a Tampa event, when does it happen? Great fig!

What was the problem with the soft plastic? I've never had problems handpainting it, but sometimes it gets sticky if you use spray paint.

The stickiness is the main problem. I usually use primer first and I think I went overboard with that holster.
