@tenime I don’t remember. My guess is I mixed one. On that figure the hands and head don’t touch so you can be off a little. Painting joint isn’t that intimidating. If you mostly display and aren’t playing or doing lots of photos paint rubs aren’t that bad. Do lots of small coats is the key

I had a trench coat from the old Toybiz X2 Cyclops and it’s a far better look for Fury. He’s not such a statue anymore!

Can anyone who gets Quasar and/or Kazar from the Zabu wave try putting each of their heads on red/white Angel just to see how they make for a no-cowl Warren?  Thanks!

@thwiptster Looks great! I just sliced his existing one open, and that worked for me, haha.

@jtmarsh You mean Ikaris? Lol my Ka-Zar (and Wolfsbane) just charged on Pulse (I need to wait on the rest of the wave, not only financially, but I really do NOT want Ikaris; I at least changed my mind on Red Widow because she's pretty cool, and I talked myself into Cable & Black Winter), so when he shows up, I can.

@tenime Or him too.  And how do you talk yourself into that Cable?  He's primarily the one most people are after from the wave outselling even Wolfsbane!  I look forward to seeing your pics, your turtle shelves alone are noteworthy.

I already have my ideal version (Sasquath wave).

The blue & yellow version's head looks good on that pouch-ful Cable from the Sasquatch wave.

@thwiptster Thanks for that - that really works good. 

This is my second favorite forum on Fwoosh - the creativity is boundless.

Alright, braintrust, I need your help!

Getting my ideal costume for Wolfsbane means I get to finally use that body for Karma, lol.

I plugged Nimrod's wings thingy into her back, and gave her Dazzler's pink power effects, and when asked by a friend who's not super knowledgable about X-Men (but is an action figure collector, and always likes to see my displays even if he's not into the property) why I used Nimrod's wings, and I went to find pics of her with that circular geometric shapes behind her (no, the wings aren't circular, lol - I'm workin' with what I got!), I noticed she now has a cybernetic left leg, and that it just so helpfully stops at what would be the figure's thigh swivel!

So...what do I use?

I found an okay-priced Pretty Boy body on eBay, but haven't measured my Pretty Boy next to her to see if it would be too long or not. Maybe a Black Series IG-11?

What is everyone else's suggestions?

Pics:

I've been meaning to source a leg for Karma as well so I'm interested in hearing some options too!

Also in case you hadn't seen it, Can of Beams has a pretty great Karma effect piece - and pretty reasonably priced at only $7: https://canofbeams.com/products/psionic-effect-zlehh

I’d consider common Star Wars droids. Remember they’re a little smaller 1:12 though, so what seems like it could work might be too short. Maybe an HK assassin droid or the Imperial K2SO type droid.

ComicallyToys on youtube did a Karma mod last year, using Star Wars droids like Norm said:

Can anyone recommend any good customisers selling heads for Rogue or Psylocke? I've had terrible luck trying to find some.

Casting Cave made a Rogue head recently. I wouldn't say it's in his regular rotation, though.
