Mysterio is tied with Doc Ock as my favourite member of the Sinister Six so this a big custom for me. He was hands down my most challenging custom to date and I’ve been planning and sorting him out in the background ever since I started making my Sinister Six figures. He’s a pretty complicated custom and has some big hurdles to overcome, which I think is why you don’t see more custom figures of him. Mainly I’m talking about the cloak, the body squares, and the ever elusive dome.

All of these things are huge parts of the figure and really need to be made from scratch as no other action figures, including the old Toybiz Mysterio solve the problems well. The Toybiz Mysterio does a great job with the sculpted body squares but they are sculpted on a weirdly proportioned, incredibly dated body.

The goal is to create an updated classic Mysterio that solves all the problems I’ve listed above and to finally finish my SINISTER SIX!

The base body is the Marvel Legends 3 Pack Vision, but really any Bucky mold body will work.

The closed fist hands are casts of the Marvel Legends Odin Wave Iron fist and the hands I’m going to use for “casting illusions” hands are from the Marvel Legends Green Goblin wave Superior Spider-man.

The head I’m using for inside the globe is a random cast I got in a missed casts grab bag from The Casting Cave. I’m not really sure what skull it is honestly but any head shaped clear piece would work.

The fabric for the cape and cowl is a spandex I got from a local fabric store.
