Marvel Legends Custom Golden-Age Angel Figure By MonsterChris

This weeks Marvelous Custom was done by MonsterChris who made custom Marvel Legends Golden Age Angel figure. Here is how they describes the making of it:

This is my first custom and I wanted to share him with you guys first. He's far from perfect, but I had a great time doing him and learned so much to help make my next one better.

Angel is made from a Marvel Legends Blizzard body with sculpted costume elements. The bracers came from a Marvel Legends Brother Voodoo, the cape is from a Superman action figure and also features some additional sculpting. His heads are resin casts of an Admiral Thrawn head I bought on eBay with mustaches, eyebrows, and domino mask sculpted in epoxy. The pistols were cast from a Metal Gear Solid action figure's weapons and the gunfire effects are just sculpted epoxy.

As I said, he's clearly a first-time effort, but I'm satisfied with him for now. He serves as my thesis on how the character should be executed in Marvel Legends or a comparable line. The cape had to be permanently attached to the body, so I wanted it to be flexible and able to flow out behind him while running. The figure comes with two heads: Golden Age and The Marvels Project (or Dr. Thomas and Simon Halloway if you prefer!) He's got some interchangeable hand options as well: two fist hands (for two-fisted action, natch), two weapons grip hands, and one karate chop hand. His twin Colt Single Action Army Model P "Peacemaker" revolvers are those gifted to him by The Two-Gun Kid at the end of The Marvels Project. The gunfire effects have little holes in the bottoms and just fit right over the tips of the pistol barrels. I may yet decide that he needs to come with a note promising the city officials that he plans to murder "The Six Big Men", because that's hilarious.

Absolutely fantastic! Sure doesnt look like a first time custom. Well done ! Love the Timely heroes!

Thanks! Well, I took my time and re-did each step, like five times. I seriously had the whole thing painted and wasn't happy, so I stripped and started over. Learned a lot. Next one won't take me quite so long.

That's a terrific job! I have a weird fondness for this character, so I would love to see Hasbro produce a version this good. Maybe someday we'll get that Golden Age themed box set of the Invaders or All Winners Squad.

Yes! They should so a Marvel Comics #1 boxed set with Angel, Human Torch, Golden Age Sub-Mariner, The Masked Raider, and Golden Age Ka-Zar. I mean, who doesn't want a Masked Raider in Legends style?

NICE WORK, and great character selection! The cape is fantastic! I occasionally make customs for sale and for my own collection, and I found that paint with a matte finish shows better than a glossy finish, but that is just my opinion. Very nice work (and unbelievable work for a first custom).
