Just got this guy. It's my first storm figure and I gotta say, he's pretty badass.

I own the worldbox Sub-Zero and the Storm 1/6 Scorpion. Would instantly buy a 1/6 Reptile and Smoke

Thinking about the storm Sub-Zero if it ever goes on sale.
 
Received my 1/6 Noob Saibot a few months ago and, as I posted a few pages back, I planned on using a painted Phicen seamless body instead of the stock body . Long story short, I tried the smooth-on psycho paint which I thought would work but unfortunately it did not. Now I finally had time to try different method which was using oil pastels and so far seems to work better than I thought it would. I used layers of black and purple oil pastels until I felt it matched the factory paint on the headsculpt and hands. The pastel color surprisingly doesn't rub off unless you forcibly scrub it. Here are a few pics. The hands look way more purple in the pics than they actually do in person which I thought was strange, anyway I think it came out really well.

Anyone gonna try and make Noob look like Smoke with a repaint? I would kill for a 1/6 Smoke figure.

Would be awesome for smoke or even repaint to reptile.

Yeah, somebody take one for the team and do one so Storm can announce theirs the next day:lol
I really enjoy trying to do my own customizations, so I wouldn't mind trying to do Reptile or especially Smoke, which might be a little easier. The biggest hurdle would be figuring out how to color Noob's fabric costume from black to a smokey gray. Maybe I'll have to play around with different shades of white and gray dyes. If I can get my hands on another 1/6 Noob, preferably lower than retail😄, ill give it a shot. If I can pull that off then I'll try Reptile which would be even more challenging, but fun.

Edit: on second thought, Reptile might be easier😄. Just use a blue dye on Scorpions yellow fabric costume and boom, you have green. Lol. It's never that easy but I'd still give it a shot though.

I wonder if gray dye on Scorpion would also work better than trying to bleach Noob lighter? I don’t think it would take much to turn that yellow into just about other color but white. Although maybe a chalky pastel on that black Noob outfit could give it an ashy gray look to it, which could work for Smoke.

I like the idea of using the firm/chalky pastel on the Noob's black outfit. I can definitely see that working. As for Scorpion's yellow outfit, it would probably be easier to dye his green so It can be used for Reptile.
 
Hard to say. McFarlane made both Spawn, Joker, and the Batman Who Laughs in their MK11 line, but they already have the DC license and own Spawn so they may have only been able to do those figures because of those factors.
