Namor The Sub Mariner Custom Marvel Legends Figure by Michael AmorePosted by Mig on Monday, May 12, 2008 @ 9:41 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe Not satisfied with either ML version of Namor, Michael Amore has risen to the occasion and created a work of art with his Custom Marvel Legends Namor figure. One of the aspects about this custom that makes this unique is the custom flesh tone and the sculpting on this figure. The speedo is even hand sculpted and Michael rounds it out with a trademark N. Another great aspect of this custom is that Michael is able to capture the human element in action figure form. The way the muscles flow, especially from the neck down, makes this custom truly realistic, an aspect that is extremely difficult to capture in a figure but there are a few who can pull it off and Michael is one of them. The second photo below really shows off the superior level of detail. Let's read more about how Michael made this figure in his own words:"I really wanted the flesh tone to be realistic and not to rub at all when you move him...so I made my own custom flesh color and attacked his joints by: cutting, scrapping, grinding, sanding and smoothing...he is fully possable, plus he has two sets of hands...one of which holds ah custom trident I fashioned...the other has jointed fingers...and I lined his Speedo w/green felt on the inside so his legs would not rub...thus he retains ALL of his perfect paint apps!!!....His feet and head from the neck up are from the later version or Namor from the last FF line...I used putty and apoxy-scultp to make them seamless w/the rest of the figure...I also sculpted his Speedo to be comic book correct...and dry-brushed his Speedo and ankle wings to give them an awesome look!...you got yer gold gauntlets...yellow belt...gold N for ah buckle...pointy ears...who could ask for anything more huh!!!...all hand painted...mostly custom colors...gloss, semi-gloss and flat pants used!!!...this figure took forever to make..."
