AoU Quicksilver (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:83605
Name:AoU Quicksilver
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:Slaker  
Date Added:June 27, 2016
Base Figure:Star Wars Black Series Finn
Height:6.00 inches
I used a Star Wars Black Series Finn as a base, with thighs and shoulders from MCU Ant-Man, arms/hands from Winter Solder Cap and a "Pietro" head from The Casting Cave. Various details on the chest, arms, legs and feet were sculpted with apoxie. Minor shaping with sandpaper and finished off with mostly Citadel paints.

My first "real" custom! The figure is not perfect, there are plenty of mistakes, and many details I missed or fudged, but overall I'm very happy with it. My biggest annoyance is that he's a bit short.

The choice of Finn as a base came from my desire to make the figure fit in with the highly textured MCU figures. In the movie, Pietro's shirt has a uniform pattern to it that I wanted to capture, but I'm not skilled (or patient) enough to create it by hand. Finn had a similar pattern, so I went with it. Unfortunately, the slightly smaller size of the SW:BS line hurt the final height, but I didn't see a better alternative for getting the texture I wanted.

I don't know any specific casters that are currently offering one. You night try contacting the casting cave guy, I know I've seen things go out of stock and appear again; maybe another batch is coming. If you check ebay, there are a few different 1:12 AoU Quicksilver heads being sold, they look to be a tad expensive, but some come with a really nice paint job.
