Re: Jean Grey - Jim Lee Era

Really nice repaints

Wow - fantastic paint job! I wish I had picked up Cyclops - they do make a great pair

 

[SDguy]

Thanks, it was fun getting the heads redone like that. Really happy with them.

I picked up Cyclops just recently (after getting and loving Jean). Got the EX for I think a decent price of $680 shipped, no tax.

 

[Spiffyjim]

$680 for the EX a pretty fantastic price. I'll have to keep my eyes open to see whether one pops up for sale here or on eBay around that price.

Cyclops looks better with the jacket on

Personal preference. I'm not a fan but might try it for a while... see if it grows on me. I think the ex head looks better with the jacket.

OK, I need instructions In what order do you do jacket and arms... I've tried a few combinations at this point, and nothing is working out.

Put the left arm in the jacket, then put it on through the right arm & swing the left around

Ok got it... wasn't putting the left arm in far enough at first. Thanks.

I grabbed the Archer eye decals over Christmas and had my wife (who is much more talented at these things) apply them. Took her about 30 minutes, and it looks awesome Highly recommend to anyone thinking of doing it!

Looks amazing, thank you for this! I just ordered my decals. I too will have my wife handle it, as she's much better than I am

Not bad... not bad at all...

Re: Jean Grey - Jim Lee Era

So I chipped the red part of Jean's base. Taking the opportunity to repaint it.... I think a grey or silver X will be way less distracting. .. and go better with Cyclops.

Cyclops face, sS didn't do a good job sculpting it. They made him look a bit odd imo

The regular head is nicer than the ex... though I think the paint app is the problem not the sculpt.

 

[Asdf]

Definitely the regular looks better.

Customizing Jean is done. The totally distracting bright red X base is gone (I don't own and don't plan to own any of the others with that base)

Beautiful

Looks good. Did Cyclops get repainted? It looks like he has less shading then I recall when I owned him.

No, probably just too bright lights while taking the photo...

Thanks, I'm really happy with the end result.
