In 2018 my (then 6 year old) daughter blew Chris Claremont’s mind by showing up at NYCC as Kitty Pryde, her favorite character in all of fiction. This year we were going to go as Hope Summers and Cable - her idea, not mine.3yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/xmen
Work in progress: Kitty Pryde, Uncanny X-Men 168; April 1983, page 1. Probably my favorite moment in comic book history.3yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/MarvelLegends
The evolution of Moon Knight, in art and action figures. It goes from right to left, starting (fittingly) with the original color reference sheet from the issue in which he was retconned as Jewish. (I’m missing two figures, one is a long-time grail and the other I don’t want to talk about.)4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
I added Sinister to fill it out, but it is really nice to have more than two figures available in my display of Age of Apocalypse villains.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/MarvelLegends
Made some custom Dreadnoks with the help of Muchas Garcias Design. One in the best stores for Joe accessories (I will post link in comments - and this is not a paid plug or anything, I just think More Joe fans should be aware of this store)2yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/gijoe
Took some time, but I got around to finishing Pretty Boy and now my Reavers collection is finally complete.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/MarvelLegends
So now I have made two Gabby Kinneys: one out of plastic and one out of my daughter.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/xmen
So one of the black piston thingys that connect to the thigh of my NECA Metal Mash Endoskeleton broke off and... now it looks like this.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
Don’t look now but the early 80’s showed up with John Byrne, Bob McLeod and Bill Sienkiewicz and they are coming for all of your 1990’s Jim Lee / Rob Liefeld nostalgia.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
Awesome coincidence: Right as I entered the final stages of this custom Chuckles (still a WIP) I accidentally stumbled across my old one at my parent’s house. He had apparently been living in a box of train tracks with Golobulus, Iceberg and Sneak Peek.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
Well, a couple of people had asked for some Spiral updates and I finally had the time and motivation to wrap up sculpting and start painting. It’s rough as hell but getting there.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ArticulatedPlastic
I couldn’t have a White Queen Emma Frost without a young Kitty Pryde. My most prized comic, the issue with their first appearance, is on the left. Kitty’s first cover appearance (and one of the most iconic X covers of all time), signed by Chris Claremont, is on the right.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
Is there a term in the kitbash community for “biting off more than I can chew?” This is my very first time doing any sculpt-work - so at least those came out. . . even?4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ArticulatedPlastic
“G.I. Joe figures would be so much cooler if they were wearing fatigues issued on laundry day” said no one ever. (Added a whole ton of shading, a repaint over the offensively bright parts of the uniforms and a non kissy face for Roadblock.)4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
I sorta gave up on this Spiral after I botched an initial attempt but decided to give it another go because a few people asked for updates and re-inspired me. Any thoughts / advice would be great. I haven’t sculpted anything before and did NOT meant to Pamala Anderson her. Might need to redo that.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ArticulatedPlastic
Reserved the yellow Deadpool Chimichanga at my local B&N (through the website) since it is on sale for $13.99 and sold out online. I paid the sale price, got in my car, and opened the bag to find this guy!8yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/funkopop
Anyone know where I can find a 6” scale Navy/Sailor hat for this guy without getting a whole Mezco Popeye or sculpting it myself? I’m not finding casts for the Popeye hat anywhere because I am late to that party.4yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/ActionFigures
Decided to get a second Master's last week so I celebrated the three day weekend with a major haul. HT, B&N, FYE and some well-timed mail.8yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/funkopop
My Doctor Who collection: going to need some Gallifreyan technology when wave 3 drops.8yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/funkopop
Found the little red guy today at Toy Tokyo in Manhattan to finally complete the set.8yr ⋅ mickmars83 ⋅ r/funkopop
