I ran out of room on HCRealms album, so I figured Photobucket would work better.

here's the main album. I wrote up descripts of what parts were used to make each character, and what dial was chosen to be used when playing in tournaments.

First, my comic book mods:

XS from the reboot Legion:http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/XS.jpg
Kraven the Spider: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/KraventheSpider.jpg
Dr. Hank Pym: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/HankPym.jpg
Cardiac: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/Cardiac.jpg

Next, cartoons. I am a big fan of western animation and never really grew out of enjoying toons on saturday morning. Many of them would make great heroclix:

Buttercup: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/Buttercup.jpg
Danny Phantom: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/DannyPhantom.jpg
Ember: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/Ember.jpg
Kim Possible: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/KimPossible.jpg
Dr. Drakken: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/Drakken.jpg
Shego: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/Solomon_Grundy_2008/Heroclix%20mods/Shego.jpg

More to come as I photograph them and put together these collages of the source material.

Fantastic work an great attention to details! Kraven the Spider and Hank Pym are great ideas for mods. (Not to threadjack...but) this is what I did with my Hank Pym Dial:

Great job on them, but what sort of freaky steroids is Kim on? She almost looks like she could be on the simian super team. (I think she has broader shoulders than me)

haha, I LOVE that Kraven!

Great idea for a 'Clix, m'man. Thumbs ups.

And I also hope to one day to stand on the grave of my enemies while holding their head and wearing their clothes.

Love the Kraven the Spider. My favorite Spidey story of all time. Love seeing the comic-accurate sculpt. Great job.

I also like the Hank Pym, though I hate the character. Good job!

XS looks great except for the skin color. At least based on the comparison picture, they don't remotely matchup.

Dr. Pym is solid, though the eyes could be tweaked.

Kraven is excellent.

Cardiac I'm liking, as my sig might suggest. I've been debating making my own but could never find a good idea for the shoulder pads. Curious what you used...

Ignore the harshness. I don't know the manga stuff, but this is good work! Kraven's fantastic, but I could really use that Hank Pym mod. What did you use to make them?

CustomCreator

VERY good stuff here!! I'm curious about Kraven the Spider: did you put Shadow Thief arms and legs on a black Spider-Man torso, or did you paint that spider-symbol on a Shadow Thief? If the latter, that's an EXCELLENT paint job!! Very good fine lines!

Guys I don't know why GarganisScorpion isn't answering the questions posted on here. I don't want to steal his thunder but both answers to Custom creator and JDKenada's questions are in his album:

Back again with some more mods. Sorry for not responding to your questions sooner, I can't check in on this thread all the time and mostly only get to work on clix stuff on the weekends.

Puuka: Yeah I agree that Kim's arms look a little awkward. I would like to re-do them sometime, but at the moment I haven't located a more suitable pair to use.

JDKenada: It's actually the pic of XS that is a little off, not the paint job. the exact color of Jenni's skin changes from issue to issue (as well as some of the colors of her uniform. Her gloves and boots are sometimes shown as white, and sometimes as yellow, but the most common combo is the one I've used in the mod).
Also, Cardiac's shoulder pads came from a Bron (Indyclix) figure. All the details of what went into my mods can be found by going to the photobucket album in the first post, and clicking on the figure you are interested in.

Hair10: Thanks for checking out my stuff! I am happy to see someone noticing the cartoon mods too... I am much more proud of them than my comic-based mods.

I am the Game:Manga? I haven't made any customs based on manga properties (I don't really like anime), all my non-comic customs are from western cartoon shows.

CustomCreator: Yes, that is a Sinister Spider-man torso with Shadow Thief arms + legs (and some putty) added on. I tried painting the spider myself and it was way to hard. Oddly, I had much better luck when I tried the same thing with a later Spider Woman (Julia Carpenter) repaint, which I will put up soon.

Now, on to the new pics!
