A custom figure of Iceman as drawn by Walt Simonson and co. in the late '80s.

Why I made him: Intense nostalgia for the 1992 Toy Biz figure.

How I made him: 2015 3-pack Vision. Paint stripped using drug store q-tips and nail polish remover. Belt made of Citadel green stuff, basecoated with Citadel spray paint and finished with Model Master acrylic.

What worked: Sculpting the belt onto a spare figure first. Sculpting in layers. Making seams by cutting the belt all the way through, gently sanding the edges, and gluing it back together. Using an airbrush for metallic paint.

What I learned: I could have removed the belt from the spare figure and put it on Iceman using just the seam in front, instead of adding one on the side. I've heard Winsor and Newton brush cleaner would be a better choice for paint stripping on the hard plastic, too.

This is the best iceman custom I've seen. Hasbro hasn't done him right yet... and now that they've given us x-factor Cyclops and Jean I might tackle this one! Thank you for the inspiration

This looks really good. That belt sculpt is crisp, clean, and symmetrical like it was done by a machine.

This is a really nice custom. I share the nostalgia and love for the old 5” figure and it’s ice tray action feature. What I especially enjoy is the approach you take to your write ups. Lessons learned are a nice touch and help those that may come after you. Nicely done, all around.
