I know that we have a general Customizing sub-forum in Articulated Thoughts, but I'm personally not very good at customizing (especially painting) so am looking for easy kitbashing formulas or recipes that anyone may want to share for Marvel characters to fit in with our Legends collections.

Do you have examples of figures that you've built from parts from other existing figures that you now display with your Legends collection?

I've seen some great examples in the past in other forums, but would love a thread here to show off some of these that you might have done that can be easily repeated by others.

Thank you in advance for any ideas that you're willing to share. Providing pictures is strongly encouraged!
 
I love Magik's training uniform look from Marvel Rivals.

I haven't completed this kitbash yet (I need to get my lazy ass in gear and pull out the Dremel), but it's as easy as it gets. I'm not bothering with the arm, either. I think it looks better without. That'll be the biggest hole in my collection filled, at least temporarily.

It’s really hard to kitbash these days due to most of the current figures out these days having pinless joints and one of a kind bodies in some cases. Legends figures are not as modular as they used to be

I finally glued the hair on for Loki's Renslayer:

She's a Sharon Carter with L&T Valkyrie's head and someone's hands. It's not as perfect as I'd hoped - the hair is way less-close than I initially thought and I did not repaint the neck - it's not as noticeable in person.

One day I might do a repaint, but for now, she fills this long-empty spot on the shelf!

Now all I need is one of those Renslayer Funko Pops to go sub-$5 for me to complete this set-up with Miss Minutes!
 
So given I’m about to have a largely redundant Enchantress (and next to no odds of selling it for a decent price), I thought I might kitbash it into something else.

To my mind, the obvious shouts are either Lorelei or Karnilla - think I’d rather have Karnilla, but the family link seems appropriate for Lorelei, and she’s probably slightly less likely to get Hasbro’d (not that either have much chance any time soon).

Anyone have other thoughts on what to do with Amora?

Heh. That's exactly what I did 2 years ago. Got Ravonna for $4.99. Had to look it up because the Funko figure went right in the trash.

If you did want to sell, never let the update stop you. I just sold OG Mystique for same retail as the new one.
 
I ordered an extra new Amora for the express purpose of making a classic Sersi stand in until (or if) Hasbro ever does it. I saw someone else do it on a livestream today, and it’s a simple pop-n-swap. I’ll post it once Amora arrives and I get it together.

Yeah, I did have a look subsequently and she’s fetching more than I expected. I’ll see if I can shift her first. Might aim high though, and then I can justify the custom to myself when she doesn’t move!
