LEGO Colonel Hardy & Desert Strike Force Custom Minifigure

LEGO have a policy of not creating LEGO themes about war and they try to keep away from creating soldiers and guns as much as possible. With the DC Universe LEGO set Superman: Battle of Smallville the designers had to create the character Colonel Hardy, and the result is a minifigure as close to a combat soldier as you are going to get, and to be honest the torso is excellent!

The Desert Strike Force Custom Minifigure by eclipseGrafx looks amazing with the set, and features 360 degree pad printed with Brown Goggle Covers, Leg Gun Holster, and BrickArms XMP and M9 guns.

If you get this set we recommend you get a couple of DSF minifigures!

Desert Strike Force Custom Minifigure

The Desert Strike Force custom minifigure from eclipseGrafx has a BrickArms Gun Metal XMP and M9, and this minifigure comes with printing on the front and back of both the legs and torso. The legs have printing where the holes are to give it a full body camouflage, and the arms and side legs also come with print.

Victor from eclipseGrafx has hand painted this Black Suit Iron Man Custom Minifigure. The gold on the helmet, torso, arms and legs is Citadel gold paint, however a general complaint of the paint is it seems very runny and hard to manage, and takes several coats to cover. The knee guards and arm guards are glued into place, as Victor didn’t want them moving around and scratching the paint work. The painted armour looks very nice!

Geoshift recommends when painting gold to undercoat the area in black first (primer or paint), however you still may need multiple coats.

This excellent Black Suit Iron Man is a one off custom and will be available to buy online at eclipseGrafx later today!

Emerald eclipseGrafx Custom Minifigure

This Emerald eclipseGrafx Custom Minifigure or better known as Rogue in the X-Men is one of the most popular characters. She has the mutant ability to absorb the memories, knowledge, and physical abilities of anyone she comes in contact with. Unable to control her powers Rogue turns to the X-men and Professor X for help.

Emerald has 360 degree pad printed on her torso, legs and waist. Pad printing is the same technique that LEGO use, so the quality is amazing. Her printed costume is inspired by the comic books rather than the film trilogy and looks really good. She also comes with a custom fitted flight jacket that matches with her pad printed arms.

Emerald is the fourth member of the team and third to be custom printed by eclipseGrafx. The other two are Laserbeam and Tempest. If you have never bought a minifigure by eclipseGrafx then we recommend you do so as the quality is amazing.

You can by this Emerald minifigure online from eclipseGrafx in the USA or minifigures.co.uk in the UK/Europe.

eclipseGrafx have decided to make some new colour choices on their German Custom Minifigures, although the colours are not accurate to the real uniforms, having different options is a great idea!. We think the white and grey torsos look very good.

On Flickr (link below image) eclipseGrafx are asking how many of you would like to see these colours made available? Other options could be Olive Green or Sand Blue.

If you like these German Custom Minifigures be sure to make a comment here or on Flickr and I will pass them onto eclipseGrafx.
