Everybody talks about how good he looks. But I think his articulation scheme is something that Marvel Legends needs to continue. I definitely prefer it over the buck they use on something like the recent Weapon-X figure.
Got one of my favorites from back when I was a kid! Still kinda holds up, probably going to keep him on card! This used to be my go to figure and man I miss how these used to come with comics, legends got me into comics/marvel all the way back in 2002
Hey everyone,
I’m planning to make a custom Marvel Legends of MCU Colleen Wing based on her look from Iron Fist / The Defenders (Jessica Henwick version), since we only got her in the Defenders 5-pack and there isn’t a standalone figure.
Before I start buying fodder, I wanted to ask for advice from people who know the line and reuse patterns better than me.
A few things I’m trying to figure out:
- What would be the best base body to use for a realistic MCU-style Colleen? Height/build accuracy matters, but articulation and proportions too.
- Are there other Marvel Legends figures that reuse parts from the Defenders 5-pack Colleen Wing figure (arms, torso, legs, sweater, etc.)? I’d love to identify easy donor figures.
- Any recommendations for similar head sculpts that could work for Jessica Henwick with minimal repainting/modification? Marvel Legends or even other 1/12 lines are welcome.
- For her outfit, would you recommend starting from a biker/jacket body, a female ninja body, or mixing parts?
- If anyone has made a custom MCU Colleen already, I’d love to see recipes or hear what worked and what didn’t.
I’m mainly aiming for her classic street-level look from Iron Fist / The Defenders rather than comic-style Colleen.
Thanks in advance, any fodder suggestions, body recipes, reused parts info, or head recommendations would really help!
took down my xmen team display to do some shelf cleaning and had a chance to re-pose some of my figures. took some quick shots before i put them all back.
I know it’s a lot of pictures but I just love my mvc display so much it’s one of the displays I’m the most proudest of and I put so much time and money into getting it all put together I’m hoping Jada toys releases more characters cuz my dream is to have the whole roster
Got Juggernaut recently and I am enjoying the figure, but his torso has a hard time turning, and it it snaps back to center really quick, almost like it is spring loaded. Any tips?
Just got this guy the other. Articulation could be better, but I love him. He's so cool. Definitely going to have lots of fun with him. Any pose suggestions?
The torso came from DravenArtLTD over on Etsy, just have to paint it yourself, I find it really impressive that people are creating 3d prints with complex articulation, this has working butterfly joints, ball peg neck joint and a lower ab crunch and upper ball joint.
I do have the Netflix/Disney Live action figures as well but I wanted to keep them separate from this shelf. Also have both the CT Toys red and CT black suit figures as well but they’re posed elsewhere. What villains should I add here? Would love a Mr. Fear release or Nuke update
My new Archangel has arrived and I couldn’t be happier. He looks right out of the old X-Factor comics. I especially like the new folded in wings piece. Now I can fit him in my display without taking up half a self!
Used the tank top Wolverine arms and damn this looks dope
