- Reed Richards -- The base figure is Indiana Jones (Cairo) from 2023. I removed the gun belt and the bit of untucked shirt. The undershirt is just a small u-shape that I 3D printed and glued around his neck and then just painted that and his base torso white. The head is a Peter Parker one. I bought it by itself online, and I haven't been able to track down the specific figure it's from. It looks to share the same sculpt as the one from the 2019 Spider-Man / Kraven two-pack but it obviously lacks the 'battle damage' paint scheme. The watch is pulled from VF-1 Wolfpack (see below).
- Ben Grimm -- The figure is literally just Ramen Toys' VF-1 Wolfpack from their Aces of Aviation line. (I think this came out in 2024?) The only thing I did was remove the "G-Suit."
- Sue Storm -- The base figure is MJ from 2024's Spider-Man: No Way Home line. The head is from the Marvel Legends Red Onslaught series Sharon Carter from 2016. The head naturally sits way too high on the neck by default, so I had to Dremel out the inside of the head a bit to get it to sit lower.
- Johnny Storm -- The base figure is Peter Parker from the Peter Parker / Ned Leeds two-pack from 2022. The head is from the Luke Skywalker (50th Anniversary) Power of the Force series from 2020. In this case, the neck ball was far too large for the hole in the head, so I trimmed down the ball.
- Alyssa Moy -- This is a 2024 Marvel Legends Bloodstorm with a pair of generic Legends female hands, and a 3D printed resin head of Lara Croft. I purchased the head because I don't believe my 3D printer has the fidelity to pull off a face very well. This is clearly the heaviest paint job of any of the figures here. I believe the only parts of the figure I didn't paint were the arms and boots. Ideally, I should probably have swapped the legs for ones that did not have pants seams and wrinkles sculpted into them, but I just try not to look at her knees very much and carry on.
- Victor Von Doom -- The base here is a Falcon / Winter Solider Baron Zemo figure with the coat and shirt painted shades of green. The hands are extras, painted a flesh tone, from the Dum Dum Dugan / Nick Fury Jr. / Sharon Carter 3-pack from 2024. I 3d printed the head myself from a generic mummy design and gave it a very light wash with some black paint that had been heavily diluted with thinner.
- The library -- This is the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sunnydale High Library playset from a decade ago. The table, armor, candlesticks, and most of the loose books were 3D printed by me. The brain-in-a-jar was mostly 3D printed by me, but the bell jar portion was intended to be a "dome pendant" that I removed the original base and hook from. The remaining 'artifacts' around the room were just scrounged accessories from other figures I already had.
In any event, that's what I've been working on the past couple weeks behind the scenes. If anyone is encouraged to make versions of these figures yourself, I'd love to see them -- I don't doubt they easily surpass my attempts here!
