Wow.
That Spidey is pretty cool. He looks like he's wearing bike racing leathers instead of tights.
A nice and refreshing take on the character. Good use of the SE head.
Thank you! It took me a while to crack exactly how I wanted to convey the costume without being too costume-y. While I like the Spider-Man Noir design, it's a little too minimal for me at times, and kinda loses the Spidey-ness. I thought leathers would be cool, and how black and red leather paired together look wicked, and just kinda ran with it.

Pure gold with these two.
Man, thank you. Really pleased with how they turned out-- projects that came out
exactly as they appeared in my head, and I couldn't think of any other way to post them but together. Your work inspires me so much, and got me through my lean years of customizing (1 piece a year, really). Your words mean a lot.

Ock actually looks like a threat an not a fat Austin Powers, perfect!
Digging the streamlined Spidey.
That's always been Ock's problem, right? Pretty much every incarnation of the character looks like Elton john with robotic arms. I wanted something that conveyed his scientist background, while remaining true to the design. I kinda see Doc Ock as the ultimate mouth-breathing creeper; the science geek who was picked on his whole life finally getting revenge.

Oh wow! I would buy each of these in a heart beat! I really love that Spidey and Doctor Octopus! He has always been a favorite of mine since I was a kid too.
Thanks, dude! When I was a kid, I had these Secret Wars spinning tops decorated with stickers of Spidey & Doc Ock that "battled" each other. I think it comes from them, haha.

really digging these last two. That head makes a great realistic take on spider-man and I would love to see it paired with a more traditional looking spidy too.
That Snake Eyes head is my de facto Spider-Man. I used it for my Spider-Man Noir figure, as well, but I don't remember if I've posted that one. Soon as I opened that figure, I had already parted it out in my mind...

All of these scream, but I am loving the Mr Freeze the most. The texture and the dio seal it excellently. What a selection, most awesome.
Same here. I'd like to have Mr. Freeze in my collection. I want to ask what did you use for the cristal dome on him.
If memory serves, it's from a Star Wars Clone Wars figure, but I don't remember which one, 'cuz I found it in my accessories bin. Freeze was a lot of fun to work on because it took me back to my ARAH customizing days. Definitely miss being able to take the figures apart with a screwdriver.
