I worked on a few personal custom figures during the last several months. These two were one of the first ones that I did based on Firefly’s and Serpentor’s animated ARAH look. For Firefly, I gave the 50th figure a simple paint make-over. The same was true about Serpentor, however, I also went ahead and customized his belt, as well as moded a wrist communicator and upper leg armor plates. Simple, but I think effective. Let me know what you Joes and Snakes think!

That Firefly is fantastic! The camo and the facial paint are outstanding, as are the details on the backpack! Serpy looks great, too!

That Firefly is goddamn sharp, and Serpentor looks leagues better than the one we got.
Good stuff. Was Firefly's paint-job tough? The 50th figure(I'm assuming the 3-pack one) is so dark, I'd imagine he could be troublesome to paint a light color over. The camo looks really good too, you hiding a factory somewhere in your backyard? |

I'm really fond of Firefly's SMG for some reason. The whole thing is good (and I like the paint app on the stand), but the SMG in particular appeals to me. Reminds me a little of the green sniper rifle included with V2 also.

Thanks gang! Painting Firefly's camo wasn't too bad. A trick I use to make sure that the paint goes down easier (stays down) is that I spray the figure with a single light layer of flat sealer first. I find that the paint goes on smoothly and sticks very well. I also had to add two thin layer of paint to coat the figure so that none of his original, darker paint apps popped through.
