Hasbro has no plans to make a Marvel Legends scaled movie Falcon figure, so I felt I had to make one myself. This one was pretty time consuming, and I had my moments of self doubt, but I’m glad I pushed myself to finish it to showcase here. The torso is from an ML Bucky Cap, the legs are from a movie Winter Soldier, the arms are from a Punisher, the head is from an ML movie Blade, and the wings are from an X-Men Classics Archangel. I added goggles to the head and it was resculpted and reworked to look more like Anthony Mackie. The shirt pockets came from a NECA Hicks, I used styrene for the zipper, sculpted all the fabric wrinkles in Aves Apoxie Sculpt, and used the harness straps from a Survival Suit Bruce Wayne. The hands come from a movie Nick Fury figure. The back leg armor on Falcon is from an Ultimate Iron Man. The wings were the toughest part. I reshaped the Archangel wings some, and used lots of reference images to get the design right. All the detailing over the wings was done with styrene. Very time consuming. Very frustrating. But something I felt was important to do to get Falcon right. Of course everything was painted accurately to the movie, down to the camo pattern on the pants. Last thing to do was to give him some pistols and a flight stand. And now Falcon is ready to fight alongside Cap to take down Hydra!

I dig the movie Winter Soldier figure from Hasbro, but felt it could have been improved upon. So I took the masked head that came with the figure and sliced the mask and goggles off, dremeled out the back a lot, cut the goggles off and separated them from the mask, and now you can slip them on and off the unmasked head very easily. They tuck in under his hair, so it holds great. I also removed the eye paint on the unmasked head, added some stubble to the face, and a black wash to his hair. So now there’s four different looks the figure can have. I repainted his torso area black, and then dry brushed a bit of leather over it, which is much more movie accurate than it was before. I also did a general weathering job over the whole figure to make it look more realistic. I attached a knife from a NECA Dutch figure that can be removed easily on the back of the belt. The finishing touch was equiping him with weapons he used in the movie. I gave him a rifle similar to one he used in the film, and also cobbled together a gun that looked like the one in the movie that launched that “magnetic disc bomb” in his initial scene. Now Winter Soldier is ready to take down Cap!

Yahoo got a look today at Hasbro’s upcoming 6″ Marvel Legends Guardians Of The Galaxy movie figures.

The line will include movie versions of Peter Quill/Star Lord (Chris Pratt [who will hopefully come with an alternate masked head]), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), and Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper). The character Groot (Vin Diesel) will the Build-A-Figure for this toy line. There will also be two more figure revealed for this line this weekend at the 2014 New York Toy Fair.

With all the recent news for the new TMNT movie, I felt inspired. I know it’s goofy, but I still love the Super Shredder from the end of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret of the Ooze, and just had to make him in figure form. I used the body from an LCBH Wrarrl, feet from a Toy Biz LOTR figure, cape from a DCSH Bizarro, and pieces from the original Movie Star Super Shredder figure. The whole body was painted the appropriate purple, and then I attached the cape. Then, I attached the Super Shredder belt under the Wrarrl belt to give the appearance of one big belt, and attached all the other Super Shredder pieces as well, with some dremeling of course. Everything was painted up, including the mace from the original Super Shredder figure. I finished it up with a custom movie style canister of TGRI mutagen ooze, and now the Super Shredder is ready to DINE ON TURTLE SOUP!

Hey everyone. If you haven’t noticed by now, I have a couple of new customs up this week. First up is an Arkham Origins Batman. I took the Mattel Batman Unlimited figure and gave him lots of extra articulation (including an ab joint!) so now he can be posed much more dynamically. Next, I took the new Marvel Legends Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie figure and gave him a full repaint, gave it some magnetic feet, an alternate Andrew Garfield Peter Parker head, a web line, and a rooftop display base! Both customs are also currently for auction on eBay for those who might be interested. Just click on each photo below to go to the corresponding eBay auction, and be sure to check out the full photo set and descriptions for each custom as well. Thanks for looking!

The articulation on the Marvel Legends Amazing Spider-Man 2 figure is great, though the paint job was lacking. I’ve given the figure a full repaint, and made it much more vibrant than before (especially the blue areas) with deep shading and bright highlights. I even outlined all the webbing on his suit to help it stand out more. I also embedded some Rare Earth magnets in his feet so he can stick to most metal surfaces. I took the Andrew Garfield Peter Parker head from the first movie figure and dremeled it to fit the new figure, gave him a web line, and gave a weathered repaint to the Young Justice Red Arrow rooftop display, and now Spidey is ready to take down Electro, Rhino, and anyone else who threatens New York!
I know a lot of fans have been having trouble finding the Marvel Legends Iron Man Mark 42 and Movie Iron Patriot figures at retail, and have understandable been getting frustrated since they’re both needed to complete the Build-A-Figure Iron Monger figure. Well fret no more. Amazon has both figures right now, and at retail price or less, and both eligible for free shipping! I hope this helps out all those out there wanting to complete their Iron Monger, or just add to their Iron Man figure collection.
In case you missed it, here’s the first sneak peek we got for the Star Wars the Black Series wave 2 Greedo action figure. Entertainment Earth has now posted the second sneak peek of the figure, giving us a glimpse at the level of detail that has gone into making the figure a reality, and to ensure it’s as movie accurate as possible.
