The production figure isn't even that bad, bit I love what you did with your figure. That's a whole bunch of awesome right there.
Now I gots to go find me a Scarlett Witch.

Great job! The custom paint on the face really brings out the likeness of Elizabeth Olson.

I never fully appreciate all that you do to your customs ... any chance you have some WIP photos?
Yeah show some of the WIP shots, especially the torso ones, but also the hands. Just looking at the finished custom you can't really see all you did exactly to make those hands work.

I think the ones above are all I took pluv. The forearms are part Ysann Isard (the elbow), part scarlet witch (the flesh part and start of the black wrap), and part MU Dagger, the wrist itself and the hands. I had to trim down the wrist peg because the wrist socket area was shortened by my mish-mash approach. Then I sculpted over it to make the wrap look consistent.

I'm sure there were easier ways to do it, but that's the plan I set in motion and stuck with.

Nice work, I hate how hasbro has made 3 3/4 marvel figures look all boot leg now, I need to snag one of these Scarlet Witches tho, her head would look way better on Kitty Pryde

Fantastic!

My only critique would be the eyebrows. They seem a bit too thick. Or it could be a lighting/shadow effect, not sure. They just seem a bit too bushy.

I was perfectly content to display the figure 'as is' right out of the packaging, but now you have me rethinking that. Again great job on this!

Dang that's beyond sweet. Again, knocked out of the park, but the articulation alone just adds that much more to the overall sculpt and bash. Also, the energy ball kibble? Genius.

Thought I had a more comprehensive Avengers thread, but I guess not. So I'll add them here, and maybe turn this into one.

I made a Coulson previously, turning a Joe mohawk-trooper into that hairline. But now I have a shrunk Coulson via Glassman, so I will take the accuracy of the likeness over my homemade attempt.

I've also update my Hawkeye, but so far this is the only pic I took with him in it

this was my original take on Coulson, which I'm still kind of proud of. But it still pales in comparison

Nice! The Avengers look fantastic! I can't wait to see what you come up with for Bruce Banner/Hulk and Thor, as well as any other members you decide to have join up!

Another hit out of the ballpark. Excellent work.

Thanks fellas. Todd - I do have Thor done. An old version with an older looking head, which I've since switched to movie Thor. Just need to find my pics. And then Banner is rolling around in my mind still.

Til then...

Mockingbird.

Went with my own design which leaned heavily on modern comic look. Not unwilling to incorporate MCU look, once I get some extra LJ heads to play around with.

I have an alt head without the mask/goggles (had to glue them here to fit around hair), which I've yet to paint. Also plan on a holster for the batons.
