Great choice of a head for Gambit... looks much cooler than the movie version. And have to agree about Iceman, he just looks perfect as-is.

Re: ELVIS1976 custom work and kitbash

and a WIP DD, always liked the look of the movie costume.

THis is the marvel studio suit completely reworked to fit properly an advacned tt.
Actually the marvel studio one is almost 13" tall!!!
I switched the boots with the one form the comedian repainted them and also repainted the gloves and belt.

Same here, dunno what it is, but always liked the outfit and actually really enjoyed the Director's Cut of DD. These pics helped inspire me to attempt the same custom. I recently purchased a Marvel Studios DD to get to work. Couple questions if you don't mind:

-Which kind of paint did you use or would you recommend for the gloves/boots?

-How did you fit the hands into the arms of the TT?

-Final question, how do you plan to get the head on the new body?

I noticed the neck swivel used on the default body is very similar to the HT ones and figured that would work, though, have yet to try until I got some insight.

Here's NIGTHCRAWLER, almost done still need to add his tail.

I wanted for him a very strong distinctive look.
Like he has been hanging in circus so i went wiht an ethnic look for him.

Head is the head from the triad evo body with some parts resculpted.
Hands and feet are form the marvel legend icons NC and i resculpted the articulated joints.
