Superior Spider-Man (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:89900
Name:Superior Spider-Man
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:TXT  
Date Added:May 7, 2017
Base Figure:Symbiote Spider-Man
Height:6.00 inches
One I had planned for a while, and one in desperate need of an accurate height.

I used the Symbiote Spidey for no paint rub. I swapped on the 2014 Superior Spidey head, hands, shoulders and feet unmodified.

I painted the entire torso, using a fine line pen for the webbing.

I bought some 3D printed spider legs with the gauntlets and backpack from a seller from the Philippines, not Strangefate on Shapeways. The quality of this version is absolutely terrible. Avoid at all costs. I am stuck with them because he won't accept refunds.

The legs are attached to the backpack via ball joints which a weak and break easily, I had 2 sets that broke like that. Poorly made. The sculpt of the legs is great, the manufacture, not so much. The legs, backpack and gauntlets are printed at very low resolution, holding no detail and look like they're knobbly and wooden because of all the lines in them.
But I tried to make them work, sanded them down and painted them.

It was hard to take photos with the legs on since one was completely broken, only temporarily held on for the picture. But I am happy with my custom at least.

Thanks for looking!

Pretty neat, the only problem with using the arms from the other figure is that the red don't match, but still pretty cool

I have been working on the same
Figure for ages, buying strange fates parts. It's all sculpted. But I might have to use your idea for the venom body switch.
Amazing work man! Amazing! Kudos.

Still looks awesome everytime I see it!
Don't have time to finish mine yet. Planning on redoing it, any tips on removing paint?
Do you suggest on making the web lines uniform or messy?

Sorry man, didn't know you had commented till just now.

I usually use a fine grit sandpaper to remove paint, or failing that, carefully use a cotton bud with acetone or nail polish remover, make sure to not do too much at once and to use a clean one after each wipe. Wash well if you use that method. Otherwise sandpaper is safer.

You could do the lines nice and neat, but Superior Spidey was known for having more erratic web lines, so you could do either. Have you got a fine line pen to put them on? Pigma Micron 03 is what I use.

Thanks man. Lol you are seriously good dude! Just practice a little on a fodder figure or some paper. Make sure to use the same pens I do for this sort of thing - Pigma Micron, 0.35mm thickness. Just be sure to buy a pack, since they run out (don't like being used on paint or plastics much), rotate use often, and try not to touch an area where you've used them on. Because they will smudge unless you seal them. And if you need to tidy up with paint, they will run a bit. After covering with paint 2-3 times, it'll be fine to try again. I always use a brush if they don't work perfectly in some areas (and trust me, they won't work perfectly 100% of the time). But will save you a ton of time in the long term. Also, don't just draw it on in one line like you would on paper for a drawing/sketch. "Paint" it on. The thickness of the line will be fine even if it's not totally consistent throughout. Hope that makes sense. Going to need to show how I do it one day.

Such a better figure than Hasbro's. Even the paint is better.
