Killer Croc with a bit of paint wash and joint edits

Added a bit of a paint wash to Croc to bring out his scales a bit more. Along with some subtle work on his pants to help make them look a bit more detailed. And added some more clearance for his head and neck to look down more.

Bonus - his shirt works pretty great with the Marvel Legends Hulk too. It can't button up in the back, but stays on firm and I think looks better than the shirt that came with the Hulk.

Mr. Freeze's Effects

Just wanted to say how much I dig Mr. Freeze's effects, Useful for alot of scenarios. I didn't get pictures, but also used them in some Jada Street Fighter setups.

Green Lantern Effects

Tried out some of the movie Green Lantern, DCUC, and McFarlane construct effects with the new Hal. All work fairly well. I ended up cutting a bunch of plastic of the DCUC gun effect to make it work a bit better, it's a snug fit otherwise and I worried about paint rub.

Mr. Freeze Hands

I took the risky move of trying to remove Mr. Freeze's hands. With enough hot water they can be popped off, but they are bit firm in there. They have a pretty big "safety" ring to make them snug in the peg hole. I forgot to take a before photo of what the hand looked like by default. I popped it off and trimmed down the "safety" ring a bit, so it is much easier to take on and off now.

I wanted to give him a open hand so that he could hold his freeze rifle two handed. I envisioned using the Marvel Legends Ultimate Iron Man's hands, as they are a bit bigger, and look a bit techy to go with his suit.

But the Marvel Legends hand pegs are not as thick as Mr. Freeze's so they were a loose fit and won't work without some modding. Not sure yet I want to completely follow through on the changing of hands, but thought I'd share the info for others who may be curious.

Green Lantern Comparisons and headswaps

Took some shots of Green Lantern with some other figures as comparisons. He fits in well with the DCUC line I think.

Headswaps with the DCUC figure are maybe possible but their heads seem a bit different in size. The pegs and peg holes are different as well, so it would take some modding to make it really work. The Mattel Kyle Rayner kinda fits, but is a smidge small. The Mcfarlane Kyle Rayner also sort of worked. Mezco heads sort of fit, bit sit a little high as well. A DC Direct head that I had hollowed out a bit seemed to work best as another option.

I got the Mr Freeze set with the original idea of parting with Green Lantern and Batman to offset the cost. Now I am not sure. I may end up keeping Hal. Will see.

Mr. Freeze custom

Mr. Freeze is a great figure! I added some paint apps and a little panel lining to help bring out the sculpt and make him really pop. I took some inspiration from the paint job on the McFarlane version as a idea of what to work on.

At one point, I went with an all-silver belt, but after looking at it for a while, I felt like it was a little too much. In the end, I decided to bring most of that area back to the original colors, and I think it worked out.

The only real negative for me in the entire 3-pack was the pretty underwhelming Freeze gun. So, I gave him a Marvel Legends futuristic-looking rifle, added some paint, and finished it off with an effects piece to give it a firing effect. Definitely feels like a much better fit.

Overall, I’m really like how he turned out, and even happier to finally have a 6-inch Mr. Freeze in the collection!

Hand pegs

Got around to testing the hand pegs on these figures. It was a bit nerve wracking, but enough hot water and pressure does the trick.

I tried some Marvel Legends Moon Knight, and Captain America hands on the Mr Freeze 3 pack Batman. All of them fit and worked pretty perfectly without mods. Thought I’d share in case anyone else was curious.
