The supposed modern Storm figure by Hasbro was just a repainted version of the one from the gaint size x-men boxed set. Extremely disappointed by its manly disproportionate body , and inaccurate costume, I made major alterations to customize and improve her figure:
● reshaped the forehead and adjusted the neckline , sculpted a new fuller and wavier hair , improved the tiara and added bangle earrings
● fuller breasts for a better cleavage, smaller waistline, curvier hips, removed the waistline swivel since its redundant to the torso swivel.
● realigned and reshaped the legs, made it longer , and with high heeled boots.
● added swivel articulation to the elbows and bending articulation to the wrists, replaced hands with open palms
● replaced her outfit with the more popular version but with an x logo instead of a gem. Added removable bracelets where her split ends of her cloth cape are attached.

Following
the events of X-Men: Legacy, Rogue appears to be able to activate her
powers at will, as opposed to them being constantly active, as
demonstrated when she kisses Gambit without incident. Her inability to
control her powers stemmed from mental blocks within her mind which
formed each time she used her abilities, crippling the development of
her powers from their nascent stage. When Professor
Xavier removes the blocks, her powers are allowed to develop normally.
With this new control, Rogue demonstrates the ability to absorb and
collectively utilize all the powers of the New X-Men, in order to defeat
a rogue Predator X, with no apparent harm to either them or herself.
Her power also affects aliens, such as when she was transferred to a
planet in other dimension by Magik, and one of the aliens involuntarily
touches her and she gains the ability to communicate in their language,
along with their knowledge.
This
Storm is only a total repaint of the 6" figure from the X-men classics
series by Toybiz. Repainted her in silvery white ,which I believe was
Jim Lee's intention when illustrating her compared to White Queen's
plain white outfit as others thought. Even in the cartoons , the black
lines on her body signifies a chromy silver effect. I also enhanced the
details of the face , and corrected the legs , the zips of the boots
should be on the inner side.
We
got the latest Scott and Emma 6 inch figures from the Marvel Legends
Puck BAF series. Still they needed modifications. Cyclops's costume
details were just painted on , so here they were embissed and sculpted
and repainted in a more brilliant gold, also with an embossed X logo
from Bianchi's design. For Emma, I replaced her hairpiece with a longer
wavy one from her Marvel Select version, sculpted her belt thinner with
an x buckle, a fabric cape for mobility and balance. The face was
repainted in detail like putting make up on it.

MU Psylocke, I was also disappointed with the actual product that came
out which was only a repaint of the 2 pack Dark Phoenix.
So I sculpted a new longer , flowing hairstyle for her . Replaced elbow joints with added swivel articulation, smaller hands for better proportion, and longer lower legs to increase her height. The waistline and leg contours were also reshaped for a sexier look. I replaced her sash with longer ends like in her actual modern look in comics.
Painted her with high details on the face, the bodysuit is made darker semi-metallic blue with a high cut pattern. I also gave her a new pair of glowing fluorescent pink katanas , one of which has energy effects. In the modern stories she often uses the psychic swords rather than the psychic knife.

During
"The Twelve" saga, Apocalypse selected a new group of Horsemen to
collect the chosen mutants written in Destiny's Diary. This new group
featured the cybernetic mutantAhab as Famine, the Shi'ar Deathbird as
War, and the Morlock, Caliban, this time as Pestilence. As the Horseman
of Death, Apocalypse had abducted Wolverine and pitted him against
Sabretooth. The winner of the battle, Wolverine, became his Horseman of Death, and Apocalypse strips the adamantium from Sabretooth and bonds it to Wolverine's skeleton.
As Death, Wolverine battles the X-Men and kills his Skrull imposter, who had replaced him to prevent his absence being noted.When Death captured Mikhail Rasputin and failed to teleport out with him, he was chased into the Morlock Tunnels by the X-Men. He battled them and regained his memory, thanks to the efforts of Jubilee, Shadowcat, Archangel, and Psylocke. The rest of the Horsemen are teleported to another dimension by Mikhail.

MU Magneto. The old body buck of the toy series looks short and
skinny-legged, the cape also looked weird being flat with one side
folded on the edge. So to improve it, first i lengthened his lower
abdominal area where the belt is placed over, lengthened his lower legs ,
and volumized his thighs and legs muscles. Gave him a new head with a
removable helmet : multiple man head with sculpted hair and ears ,
painted with older look; sculpted a new a helmet and shoulder armor. I
used a fabric cape for a realistic detailed feel for more dynamic flow
and mobility. The colors are detailed with shadings and highlights, the
purples are made darker to contrast with the red hues and for a fiercer
look.
The latest Marvel Legends has given us the best Jim Lee 90s Jean Grey figure so far. However, some things are still off with it for me. The face and hands were quite too big. Especially when placing her side by side with previous X-men Legends figures.
So I replaced her face with that of the X-men movie figure of Famke Jansenn, the actress who played Jean in the film. The proportion fits well, and its only suitable that I used her face giving the figure a more realistic detailed look. The face was also painted in high detail capturing the actress's as much as I can. I also replaced the hands with a smaller pair from the same movie figure.
