crystal ball by edhellman

based off his IDW look. The head is a bit too cartoony for my taste but where else am I gonna find a head even remotely similar? Hard to tell in the pic but the jacket is kind of a shiny dark dark blue...

And my fingers are just coated in super glue from those frickin little silver finger things. Yeesh.

Cool custom.

The updated look for him is much,much better.

Great execution.

You definitely need a better head. Seems to me I had one in mind for him a while back ... I wonder if Rex's hair piece might work on somebody? Maybe RoC Snow Job? But he would need a burlier beard.

Also, maybe scope out parts from the upcoming MU Kraven. His fur might work. This guy looks a little too kempt. I do really like this figure though. He looks like some dude from a bygone Soviet Era.

Crystal Ball was such an awesome design. I wish we'd have gotten a figure of him, as well as the Snake Eyes from Origins. I love it when he puts on that aviator gear over his hospital bandages.

Thanks, brother. I'm workin on a set based off of Infestation 2 with Crystal Ball, Interrogator, Raptor, Gristle, and Razor Claw. Interrogator is going to be perfect but I'm having trouble finding the right head for Raptor especially.

The head will be okay with a little epoxy sculpted hair.

[edhellman]

I could try that... or the head with Rex hair... or even old winter soldier hair.... or maybe a Volstagg head with new hair added? Hermm...

[Letal]

I like him ... maybe there's a better head... but I like the way he looks now already.
Reminds me of Mr. Alan Moore.

Cool....that Pirates of the Carribean figure head really captures this version of CBall.

Starwars Talon Karrde isn't bad, but could use a bigger beard. You could prob. take that off the black beard head and glue it on though.

[edhellman]

how about this?

That's my fav head for CB.

I like that better looks more like the pic too.

I really like it! It looks great, simple, and clean. The new head looks way better. I've been thinking of doing a custom of Crystal Ball like this. I'm stealing this recipe.

[Crystal Ball]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

You win!!!!!!!!!!

[cobracobra]

Looking awesome!

[edhellman]

shwing! Thanks y'all. When I'm customizing I go into a kind of work trance where I just focus on the figure and forget what is going on around me - everything else seems far away.. So it is always nice to have people to show the end result to. Makes it less solitary.

Crazy Jesus Crystal Ball is awesome!!! Nice work!

[heymilt]

[pyro678]
