Sensual, mysterious, ambiguous, this character has played a key role in the events of Devil in the saga of Shadowland. Having loved her during shadowland I decided to add her in the collection!
2011-2024 13 years of Marvel figure customs, and not only

White Tiger Angela Del Toro
Angela Del Toro is the heir to a heroic legacy that began with the Jade Tiger, a long-lost enchanted statue from the fabled kingdom of K'un-L'un. Broken into pieces, the statue's paws and head resurfaced in America, where the Sons of the Tiger wore them as amulets that enhanced their martial arts prowess. When the Sons disbanded, their discarded amulets were discovered by Angela's uncle, the young Hector Ayala, who transformed into the superhuman White Tiger through their power.

Sunday news
Yesterday I declared finished one of my most controversial customs, Swarm.
I'm still paying the price for having made Gibbon with oakum, and indeed it is one of my worst ever, but I still decided to finish my work on Swarm.
I do not reject absolutely Gibbon. It 'just came, and remains in the family. When will I begin to rework the custom of the first period, I will see how to fix it. Same for Swarm.
I do not do it for the sake of exposing myself to the next critical for this work :) ... at contrary only because the purpose of the blog is not showing that customs are beautiful or ugly, but just to show how I made them.
For Swarm I had thought of using fine rice, but the effect did not satisfied me. So I reinitiated the custom (which has no starting base under) but this time I used the raw grit of quartz. The result is not spectacular, but this is it! Fimo for the cloak and white milliput for the body.
249- Swarm
250- Master Man (cortesy of wikipedia)
Wilhelm "Willie" Lohmer first appears in the title Giant-Size Invaders. Portrayed as a physically frail American Bundist and Nazi sympathiser, Lohmer agrees to participate in an experiment in which he is subjected to the Nazi version of the Super-Soldier Serum. The char is created starting from the official Eaglemoss Banshee base. Modifications in white fine Milliput.
251- Noh-Varr (Courtesy of wikipedia)
Noh-Varr serves as an ensign aboard the 18th Kree Diplomatic Gestalt interstellar schooner the Marvel, which traverses millions of alternate dimensions on its way home. X-Man as a base from Eaglemoss under the mainly repainted figure. Hope you like it. Modifications in white Milliput.
That's all for today!
Hasta lluego...

American Son Gabriel Stacy
Courtesey of Wikipedia:
After the fall of Norman Osborn, the American Son armor is stolen by a mysterious figure. Shortly after, the police begin questioning Harry as Norman is in prison and only a member of the Osborn bloodline can use the suit. Later, in his coffee shop Harry is visited by Gabriel Stacy who identifies himself as Norman's other son and shoots him in the chest claiming that Norman gave him a better life.
Following his capture Gabriel is placed in a psychiatric hospital, and informed that the American Son Armor is thought to be destroyed. However, a package is soon delivered to his room containing a helmet from the American Son Armor and a note from Norman telling him that he loves Gabriel and misses him.
Is the history over?

Under the strong wind.....
Strong wind here (150 km/h), not a good day to go for a walk... so I deceided to complete some of the work in progress I have since a long time...
Dr. Faustus is the first. My custom number 245, really could not end the collection without this 70's popular character (recently seen helping Cap at Bucky's judgment...)
Vindicator at 246...

Number 247 is Spitfire, not a piece that you cannot sleep without, but fits in the collection...

Another new comer in the family...
Not that much to say about this one, Impulse.
Made on the base of the official Ant-Man from Eaglemoss with some easy changes with white fine Milliput.
Still waiting for my portion of Magic Sculp...

Some freshly added.... and one finished
The Antivenom. Taken from Venom official miniature, had to add some part and repaint globally, not that much work, hope it fits!
Cottonmouth. If not changing my mind I think this will be the last character from the Serpent Society. He goes together with my previous: Puff Adder (number 199 in my custom collection), Black Mamba (192), Reptilia (76), Asp (148), Rattler (158), Cobra (170) and Rock Python (219). See them all at: http://ffz.leonardo.it/discussione.aspx?idd=9516246
Last but not least I think I've done with Silver Samurai, let me know your comments about him...
