White Queen (Emma Frost) - Discogod
White Queen (Emma Frost) – Discogod

To me, Emma Frost will always be The White Queen, no matter how great Morrison’s X-Men run was. I’m a Byrne/Claremont era X-Fan for the most part.  Fortunately for my custom viewing pleasure, Discogod feels the same way and put a good deal of really professional-looking work into turning the latest Emma Frost figure into a classic White Queen.

The sculpt and paint work is exquisite and I love the use of the faux fur for a little more interesting detail on the cape.  Check out some more pics of this custom and many other great ones by clicking one of the above pics for a link to Discogod’s thread in our custom galleries.

Moon knight - joakley
Moon knight – joakley

Moon Knight apparently had a neat redesign and joakley captured the look perfectly with this custom.  I’m impressed with paint because the white looks super smooth, which can sometimes be challenging.

 

Cthulor - mkultra
Cthulor – mkultra

I love this creature.  The wings and octopus head add just enough Lovecraft to the MOTUC vibe here.  It’s also great to see that DCUC Darkseid belt used.  I bought that figure for fodder and still haven’t come up with a good use for it.

 

Red Guardians (Alexi Shostakov) - Rabid_Ewok
Red Guardians (Alexi Shostakov) – Rabid_Ewok

I love the different patriotic heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe and Red Guardian has one of those simple, striking costume designs that looks incredibly toyetic.  You have to love the fin-headed characters.

It translates well to the female version and Rabid Ewok did some nice smooth work finishing these off.

That’s it for New Custom Tuesday, check back next week for more and as always, please click on one of the above pics for a link to each customizer’s thread in our galleries.
