Custom Marvel Legends Iceman X-Men by diddy310 customs

Posted by Mig on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 @ 9:29 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe
diddy310 customs caught our eye with his Custom Marvel Legends Iceman. The aspects that stand out about this custom is the detailed sculpting that he did. There are differences between a straight up repaint and customizers who take the time (and skill) to create a truly unique custom that is their own and diddy310 has taken this Iceman to the next level. The hair on this figure is perfectly sculpted and proportional to the head. The building up of the chest is a welcome addition as it ads much needed depth to the figure. Styling the figure after Humberto Ramos/Chris Bachalo, he has really captured their artistic nature. I was lucky enough to correspond with diddy310 customs and he shed some light on how he made this awesome figure:

"The base figures are a HML2 Xorn for the main body with the head and shins down from Quicksilver. I used an X-acto knife to trim off Xorn's chains and Quicksilvers hair, then resculpted the chest and added the iced up liberty spikes. From there it was a simple matter of repainting him head to toe, first using flat black on the pants and jacket, then Games Workshop Shadow Grey on the face, torso and hands. Then various layers of drybrushing with GW Skull White and Space Wolves Grey to make him look iced up, definitely like it more than the transparent plastic look Toybiz liked to use for him. I Think i captured the look of the Humberto Ramos/Chris Bachalo art in a more realistic style to make him work with the rest of the released MLs."

This Custom Marvel Legends X-Men Iceman is available on eBay so head over there to bid on this great figure!
