X-MEN LEGENDS GIFT PACK:
Freedom Force
vs. Reavers
The wild Sentinel that came with the now defunct X-Men
Classics New X-Men Wolverine was the catalyst for this set of figures,
as it became the basis for Bonebreaker. Originally just intended
to be a Reavers-only entry, Freedom Force just fell into place as I
looked for Reaver-fodder - they came together pretty easily. In
contrast, Bonebreaker and Skullbuster weren't completed until the
deadline of Custom Con forced some action. Thanks for looking!

Crimson
Commando is a Spider-Man Classics Daredevil with Marvel Legends Comic
Punisher head. The mask, bandanna, glove cuffs, boot cuffs, and
some additional hair were sculpted with Super Sculpey. The
bandanna has an armature made of a standard twist tie that also doubles
as the ends of the bandanna. The belt comes from the same
Punisher. The buckle is a thumb tack stuck into a rubber band
backing. The daggers are shortened swords from a Marvel Legends
Elektra. |

Some experimentation with fabric folds here. Check out the butt.

Stonewall
is a Ruthless Aggression Matt Morgan. The ends of his shorts and
his boot laces were sanded off. The design on his chest, head, and
boots were sculpted on with Super Sculpey. It was painted on his
shoulders to retain articulation. Morgan was a typical v-shaped
figure - Super Sculpey was used to give him a barrel chest. His
wrist straps and belt are rubber band with craft beads glued on for the
metal studs. A paper clip serves as a belt buckle, and a thin
strip of rubber band was inserted under the rubber band belt to provide
the right look for the belt end in the buckle. |
|
|
As much as I like the wrist straps and belt, this is my least favorite of the
group.
|
|
Super
Sabre is a Marvel Legends Mr. Fantastic. The helmet and goggles
were sculpted on with Super Sculpey. The helmet straps are cut
vinyl. The cuffs on the gloves and boots and the belt are rubber
band. |
|
|
Despite the base figure's close match in color, the entire figure has been
repainted.
|
|
Bonebreaker
is a Marvel Legends Namor torso combined with a wild Sentinel from the
X-Men Classics New X-Men Wolverine and an Urban Legends Punisher head.
The hydraulics come from an Unreal Tournament Gorge. The straps are
rubber band. The torso was joined to the Sentinel with Kneadatite.
Kneadatite makes up the mohawk and a new neck. The glasses,
collar, wrist cuffs, and strap fastener were sculpted out of Super
Sculpey.

Check out the tattoo! Chicks dig cyborgs with tattoos.

Pretty
Boy is an X-Men Classics New X-Men
Wolverine with WWE Razor Ramon (series unknown) head and Urban Legends
Punisher boots. The vest comes from an X-Men Movie Cyclops.
Hair was added using Super Sculpey. Filled in the belt and where
the claws used to go with Kneadatite. Wrist bands and holster made
with rubber bands. |
|
|
I take it back. This is my least favorite figure. But I think
that's because Pretty Boy blows.

|
Skullbuster
is a Marvel Legends Ghost Rider torso and arm combined with a Masters of
the Universe Trapjaw arm and legs and a Marvel Legends Silver Surfer
head. The bandolier and belt buckle come from the Spider-Man
Classics Black Spider-Man. Super Sculpey was used to enlargge
Surfer's head, reshape the neck, add the shoulder pads, lengthen the
jacket sleeve, and smooth out the crotch. The shoulder pad spikes
were transplanted from Ghost Rider's cuff. The bandolier and belt
were augmented with rubber bands. |

Face was painted to resemble a Qee I keep seeing at Tower Records. So
cute and deadly.
