This weeks Marvelous Custom was done by
Emnems80 who created a
6" Marvel Legends style Iceman figure. Well technically this is more of a repaint than custom, but here is how they describe the making of this figure:
I Used some paint thinner with blue acrylic paint. Also bought another acrylic paint that was called either Ice or Glacier Blue. Used some white to look like some frost (also an overcoat that had some glitter in it). I might buy another Iceman and give it another try.
Check out the image(s) of their custom below and be sure to let us know what you think in the

When I got my first figure for my Jim Lee X-Men #1 display I didn't even notice the head crack. It wasn't until I read a lot of complaints and got a second figure (the crack was pretty bad on the second one) that I noticed it. I looked at my first one, and I semi lucked out, because the crack was perfectly centered so it kept the face symmetrical (and probably why I hadn't noticed it before).

Ice man I don't recall ever looking see through like glass... he has internal organs. I mean the Retro figure was a step up in terms of the "ice" look compared to the previous simply clear Ice men figures.. anyways very nice *clapping*
Thank you! I'm hoping Hasbro releases a new improved classic Iceman. Heard rumors of a possible Spiderman and his Amazing Friends release. That would be a great opportunity for Hasbro to do it. Plus we all would get a coveted Firestar!

Thanks! I actually put it up for auction on eBay. I'll probably buy another figure and give it another try to try and improve it.
