About Me: I have been an avid toy collector ever since I was a kid. My favorite toy lines are Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe. I decided to make a website called www.actionfigurecustoms.com to capture all of the customs that are being bought and sold on eBay. I hope everyone finds it useful and please email me with any questions or if you have a custom you would like me to blog about, let me know!

Custom Marvel Legends Nighthawk by Michael-Amore

Soaring from the pages of Marvel Comics comes this Custom Marvel Legends Nighthawk by Michael-Amore. Staying true to the representation of Nighthawk in the Marvel Universe, Michael-Amore has created a comic accurate piece that I am sure will be well sought after! The sculpting around the eyes is very well proportioned and adds depth to figure, allow the eyes to be seen, giving the figure its own personality. The hawk design on the chest is perfectly proportioned as well and mirrors that of one of the versions found in the comics (see below). The way the wings flow into the sculpts on the shoulders in nicely executed and gives the figure a very natural look for having been combined from 3 different Marvel Legends figures. All in all, this figure an excellent example of the talent it takes to make a custom come to life like Michael-Amore has achieved. I was able to get some insight directly from the source on how he created this great custom:

"I used a Captian America body, the wings from Arc Angel
and Banshee's arms from the forearms down...I used self drying clay to make the arms smooth at the connection and to sculpt his wing attachments on his chest...for his paint job I used flat blue and a clear blue for the blues, flat yellow and a clear yellow for the yellows...the wings are a semi-gloss red...plus all his joints have been reduced buy a dremmel and then hand sanded with a fine grade sand paper!"

This Custom Marvel Legends Nighthawk is available on eBay and featured on my home page of ActionFigureCustoms.com so check it out and place your bid early as I am sure this will be one hot auction!

About Nighthawk (source: Marvel.com)

Kyle Richmond lived a privileged life of luxury, making him spoiled, irresponsible, and insubordinate. His irresponsibility led to tragedy, however, when he drove drunk and caused an accident that killed his girlfriend. He sought refuge in being drafted for the army, but he was rejected when a physical revealed he had a heart murmur. He threw himself into his life of luxury, all the while secretly searching for a cure. Finding a mysterious formula in an ancient book, Kyle re-created and drank it, discovering his body gained superhuman powers, but only at night. Due to the effects of an alchemical serum, Nighthawk possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and recuperative powers during the night. (In daylight Nighthawk has normal human strength, although at one point he remained paralyzed during the day.)
