One Sixth Salon posted this on Facebook. It looks to me like a CGL Phoenix Girl head with a repaint and rehair. I have to say I am very impressed. The eyebrows were spot on, if somewhat angry but the paint app ruined an otherwise half decent likeness. It's great that they have been able to tease out a likeness this good, even with an incomplete paint app and the hair looks awesome. Her expression of concentration is straight out of the promo shots from X1.

She’s mine! I love her and am so thankful One Sixth Salon gave her the perfect t finishing touch!

She looks absolutely gorgeous! I never thought that sculpt could look that good. I am super impressed. I have sent my CGL head off for a repaint and rehair. I will be so happy if she comes back looking anything like that! Which hands have you used for Jean?

I need more uniforms though. Are we still stuck with trying to find second hand ones or is anyone making them?

Ideally I need one for Jean, Kitty, Polaris, Psylocke, Dazzler, Gambit, Havok, and Banshee.

Used a Windstorm body/hands/uniform and used some pleather to make the gauntlets and high boots and a sharpie to color the piping

Want to eventually make a Kitty and an X2 Jean but it’s impossible to find windstorm or Phoenix girls anymore

Yeah I found a digital sculpt of Elliot Page with hair tied up available for purchase and Pabs Customs have said they would be happy to take a look at Cumming and Grammer sculpts which I can use as replacements for the Nightmare and Creature bodies respectively. I'm hoping Exo-6 will do a Chief O'Brien who I would like to turn into Movie style Banshee. No sign of anyone making a Lucas Till sculpt yet (I was hoping that some McGyver fans might go for it) but he's quite low on my priority list as a d-list classic X-Man. I bought one of the Polaris heads a while back. A Taylor Swift sculpt should do for Dazzler and the jury is still out on an English version of Psylocke.

A decent Mystique remains the holy grail but I lack the skills to make one of my own. I got a really cheap knock off Darth Maul head that I was going to try and get haired and repainted as Toad. I've got Danny Trejo coming as Scalphunter. I'm not fussed which heads to use for the other movie-style Marauders mind you. A lot of them didn't really have uniforms. Trejo has just been dropped into a flak jacket.

Still no options for the X uniforms though. Maybe we need to band together to get a batch of male and female uniforms made?

I'm going to send off Nightcrawler next week. If anyone is interested in an Alan Cumming version, I will keep you posted how it goes.

Anybody have a figuremasters windstorm they are looking to unload?

 

[Pauln6a]

Works in progress for X1 Sabretooth, movie style Scalphunter, and X3 Juggernaut. I have some more accessories coming for Scalphunter, utility belt, ammo, leg holsters etc. Juggernaut needs some shoulder armour and a helmet. Any suggestions for accesories are welcome.

I think I only have a spare head with moulded hair

It’s the body and the uniform I’m looking for- but thank you!

I think that's what we all need. I am going to make enquiries about a bulk order for uniforms with neutral light grey piping so they can be easily adapted for any character. I probably need 4 of each just for myself.

I'm currently trying to get Star Trek the Motion Picture uniforms made though and I have at least 6 more of them to go.

There might be a slight issue finding suitable boots for certain female characters to fit over the trousers but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Black cloak for Storm and Figuremasters metallic cloak for Polaris will probably work though.

I've ordered a Whiplash arc reactor to customise Havok's uniform but I have no clue if that will look any good.

Then I just have to contemplate Beast and Colossus. The Creature isn't bare chested so I'm unsure whether to go standard uniform or custom and if custom, do I need a chest wig?

Extra attachments for Scalphunter.

Is Sideshow going to give us some more comic X men at con???

 

[Pauln6a]

There is another Wolverine coming. DoFP. Bone Claws. Likeness looks good. Lock of hair is annoying.

Also rumours that Mr Sinister has been cast for upcoming MCU.

Edit: Looks like a bluff. Javier Bardem looks very wrong for Sinister. Possibly Doom?

It's a repaint and rehair on a CGL Phoenix Girl. Hard to find but she did come with good and evil heads so keep an eye out. Someone may decide to sell one.
