2011-2024 13 years of Marvel figure customs, and not only
Dear all,
two new characters joined the horde: Andromeda and Hit Monkey.
Andromeda (printed from Thingiverse and customized by me)
Some months ago I set a group of targets for my hobby:
1-Revive the blog after years of inactivity (done)
2-Extend to X-Com custom figures (done... and believe me: more aliens and team member are planned!)
3-Correct all the galleries as pictures were missing due to the shutdown of several hosts (done)
4-Start with new Marvel Comics custom figures (that's why we are here... aren't we? (done)
5-Add new available technologies to this hobby (done, I mean 3D printing possibilities)
6-Start a video channel (mmmhh... not yet?!)
I am glad to announce my first video attempt on Youtube. Probably one of the worst videos you ever seen on Youtube... but the beginning is always a shock for everyone!
If you want, if you like, give a look:
Flashfire
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Flashfire, originally code-named Tempest, is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The character, created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum, first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #107 (October 1977).
Flashfire can generate and fire bursts of light and electricity. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Tempest/Flashfire is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in his case Lightning Lad.
Mangog
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Mangog is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The character was described in his debut as being the sum total of the hatred of "a billion billion beings" – an alien race that once attempted to invade Asgard (thwarted by Odin, the ruler of Asgard and the Norse gods).
Imprisoned beneath Asgard, Mangog is freed by the rock troll Ulik, in a failed bid to secure an ally against the gods. Mangog storms Asgard, intent on drawing the Odinsword from its scabbard which will end the universe.
Thor battles Mangog to a standstill, until Odin dissolves the creature by breaking the spell which had created Mangog as a living prison for his entire race.
Mangog reappeared when freed by the god Loki, but was defeated when removed from the source of its power.
With the aid of the traitorous magician Igron, Mangog assumes the form of an imprisoned Odin, and intends to once again draw the Odinsword.
After a series of skirmishes with Thor, the creature is defeated when Thor frees Odin.
Last but not least, how can it be possible that in a Marvel collection of figures there are some missing characters like those one that I consider essential as a Marvel fan: Fu Manchu, White Dragon and Wendigo??
It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it :)
Stay tuned!
Just a three "masked" previews for you out of the seven figures I am working in these days...
Guess the name, if you score 3/3 you're definitely a Marvel addicted fan! The solution is at the end of this page...
