Marvel Legends X-Men Custom Set by Kyle Robinson CustomsPosted by Mig on Wednesday, October 17, 2007 @ 10:27 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe    Kyle Robinson runs a website called Kyle Robinson Customs and he also admins the Toy Soup Forum! Kyle has been customizing for a long time now and have over 200 figures in his gallery. He graciously added a section for my blog on his forum and for that I owe him a huge thank you! He also does commission work so check out his website if you are in dire need of custom action figures.    I was perusing through his custom gallery and came across a unique set of custom X-Men figures he created for CustomCon, a convention that showcases new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. To give a little background on his, Kyle explains why he created this special set of Jim Lee style custom X-Men:    "I have always wanted to have a PERFECT Jim Lee X-Men Set, and in my eyes this it. I created to 10 figures that I still needed for my set, and now it is perfect and complete. I put of making this for a log time but thanks to the discovery of a customizer named Double Dealer I was finally motivated to make it. As you can see I use alot of ideas from 2D with my own spin, so I want to than you 2D for the Great inspiration. I hope you all enjoy my set as much as me, I personally think its my best work yet."  Out of this set, Iceman caught my attention as his iceblast was made from from plastic beads, apoxie sculpt and a broken crystal Christmas ornament, which demonstrates an keen ability to sculpt a physical representation of ice using out of the ordinary items. Who would of thought a busted Christmas ball could be used to portray Iceman's signature iceblast? That just gives you a window into the creative mind of a customizer and how talented these people are.
