In celebration of Christmas, I got involved with a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange with a group of online toy collectors at TheFwoosh. I knew my giftee was a fan of Northstar, so I wanted to try my hand at making him a fitting Marvel Legends style custom figure. And, because no Northstar is complete without his sister Aurora, I had to craft the duo. I opted to go with their ‘modern’ look, since it’s a good chance that we’ll be seeing classic versions of these characters as standard releases from Hasbro in the near future. Expand the post for more pics.

AURORA

Aurora is a ML15 Wasp base figure with a ML14 Psylocke head. I added the boots from DCSH Batgirl and modded Pyslocke’s face to narrow the cheeks/chin and get rid of her mannish square jaw. The boot/glove trim is wrapped strips of leather, superglued and painted.

NORTHSTAR

Northstar is a Marvel Legends Giant-Man Series Havok with a ML15 Captain Marvel head. To match the boots on Aurora, I swiped the feet from DCSH Series3 Batman. Likewise, his trim is the same leather/glue/paint combo as on his sis.
