If Spawn was the single most difficult figure I've ever made, this is definitely the most agonizing set I've ever fixed up. So much trial and error. And white. Didn't help that these guys have looked different in just about every appearance they've ever had. So, it took some discussing to work out exactly which designs were desired in the request. And then we had bonus stuff.
For Jack, Queen and King, the arms and torsos were all sculpted. Added hair and the crown to the King head, and just the crown to Jack. Added some sculpt to an alternate Ace head to give him the battle damaged look to show part of the cybernetic head underneath. Added some sculpt to King's belt to give it a smoother look, and then sculpted the crown onto Queen's hair. From there, everything was just parts swaps and then some really tedious repainting. And then the cards. Card stands were requested, so I custom made Ace's out of those washable tattoo sleeves. Glued two together to make them sturdier. For the other cards I glued them three thick. Added a magnet in each figure's foot, and then a metal piece to each card. After all that, I cut out some throwing cards for Jack, throwing spades for 10, modified a Cable gun for 10, modified the Halo grenade for Queen, and gave King a sword. Whew. And...done! Recipes: King - Body - MU Captain America Head - AngelForge cast Skirt Piece - MU Starlord Sword - no clue Queen - Body - MU Aurora Head - MU Emma Frost Hair, Wrist Bands - Avengers Black Widow Scepter - Halo Explosive (I think) Jack - Body - MU Captain America Head - AngelForge cast Skirt Piece, Arms - MU Starlord 10 - Body - MU Aurora Head - old Stocos cast Blaster - MU Cable Ace - Body - MU First Appearance Hulk Feet - MU Skaar Head - MU Indestructible Hulk Alternate Head - OnyxPhoenix cast

They look fantastic; so much white and it looks dyed. Great paint apps, that had to take forever.

They do look different in every incarnation. I think my favorite version of them was in the show Arrow.

Great job on all of these! That white paint must've been a pain to use.
