Storm (Jim Lee Style) (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:70872
Name:Storm (Jim Lee Style)
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:MikeMarvel  
Date Added:February 25, 2015
Base Figure:Storm (Marvel NOW!)
Height:6.00 inches
Storm in her Jim Lee duds and by far her most iconic look(though I'm personally a big fan of her modern Mohawk look) Used the Marvel Now Storm with modded Jean Grey hair. Shoulder pads and cape from the Toybiz Storm. I extended the pads and screwed them and the cape into her back allowing full range of motion. They don't hinder her articulation at all. Sculpted the upper arms to replicate the puffy look she has under the shoulder pads. Everything was then wrapped up in a whitish silver paint job.

This is awesome! Certainly the best Storm I've ever seen, and one of my favorite customs of all time.

The white paint job is so boss. How did you get it to look so smooth but also have that gloss? I hope you don't mind me asking, I'm just starting out customizing and would love to get any advice from someone as skilled as you!

Feel free to PM anytime you have a question or need some advice I'm happy to help and share. If you haven't already I would refer you to the really great tutorials on this site. They helped me a lot in the beginning.

As far as the paint all I can say is prep work is key. Disassemble if you're up for it. Prime it white. Multiple thin layers. Let it dry completely between coats. You don't want to cake on the paint especially at the joints. I used a touch of silver with white paint to get that nice sheen.

Just saw your awesome Psylocke, and now I see this beautiful and perfect Storm that I missed. Great work, great painting! It's now my favorite Jim Lee style Storm custom.

I remember seeing your Marvel Now Rogue a while back and thought that captured the mischievous look Olivier Coipel gave her hands down, but this Storm smacks that into the ground. The shoulder detail, the hair (never liked the old Toybiz blob of hair on a tiny head) and the new Hasbro body suits her really well. Really great job mate!

Thanks for the kind words man! It was Olivier's artwork I was referencing from for Rogue so it's cool that you spotted that. Glad you like both of them!

Does your storm have a problem with weak bendy knee joints as well? I made a Superior Spider-girl from her, and the posing is atrocious.

This looks awesome man! Definitely my favorite look for her. Did you have to crack the figure to paint her thighs, and how did you protect them from paint rub?

Yep, had to crack her open and remove the arms from the sockets too. Good deal of prep work for this one lol.

I think we're all unpaid, uncredited designers anyway lol I've seen plenty of custom designs lifted right from this site.
