X-Men Month Finale: Group Shots

X-Men month concludes with some group shots of the custom X-figures I've done. If you get through a whole theme month, you deserve a post that's the rough equivalent of a clip show.


In my geek fan-and-not-reality-based "If I Ran the X-Men" scenario, this would be my X-Men team. Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Kitty, and Bishop. I see it working in a Marvel Adventures continuity, where Wolverine and Storm are taken by the Avengers. Also, it's got a nice X-Men Evolution feel to it.

Actually, that's a costume I wanted to do for Cylops this month, is an Evolution look (but not Evolution style). But he's got these X-badges on his shoulders, and I didn't know how to make those work on ToyBiz-style arms. Hasbro arms are a different story, though. And I should be getting an Ultimate Wolverine soon!


Cyclops and Jean Grey are the last two holdouts from the Jim Lee era of costumes. Wait, I forgot that Cyclops was done... but I never liked the X-Men classics version.


My current Uncanny team, waiting to drop Marvel Girl in when Hasbro Series 3 comes out this summer. I really wanted to fit Warpath into this month, and then I'd need a Darwin, and Sway and Petra while I'm at it...


All the X-Men customs I've done! From left to right: X-Factor Jean, X-Factor Cyclops, Adventures Storm, X-Factor Beast, Emma Frost, Jim Lee Jean, Modern Polaris, Alan Davis Bishop, Modern Havok, Modern Nightcrawler (basically blocked), Jim Lee Cyclops, Astonishing Kitty Pryde, Astonishing Beast, Mimic, 6-Month Gap Rogue, and 6-Month Gap Phoenix.

So, naturally, one follows an X-Men month with an Avengers month. I'm going to Las Vegas in early April, but I think I can manage a decent set of posts. I'll do it for Cap. See you Monday!
