Happy New Year everyone. Here are a couple of original super hero and villain figures I though might fit in well with this forum. They are all 3D printed and hand painted. All figures are about 5 inches high and 5 points of articulation.

Thank you! I am using a Stratasys Mojo printer. Its very reliable and so far I have been very happy.

Just like the days of GI Joe, I always only bought the Cobra figures. Like the villians a lot. The asetone smoothing process works great. A drastic improvement

Thanks! I always preferred the Cobra figures as well. :-)

Wow man! These are amazing! Great job! One question, how do you work with the acetone to smooth the figures? Do you rub them with acetone, do you sink in them? They look terrific.

Thanks. I found this method works best for me: However you can overdo it, especially with parts that have tiny detail like hair strands. So sometimes I only let the parts in the box for a little while to "soften them up" and then wipe them even smoother with acetone and a kitchen roll.

so what peg style or connection do you use for movement of the limbs? i have played and printed a couple that would work and i just incorporated a new setup on a new custom i just made that works pretty good and plan to modify slightly to work on existing animated customs ive already made and going forward.

With these guys I use very simple plug joints who do the job well enough. The setup looks like this:

I recently reprinted and smoothed two more figures from the line. In the case of the third owl hero I used the opportunity to change the design a little bit. The character is now younger so the figure is smaller. Even at a smaller scale the acetone smoothed figure still looks a lot nicer then its predecessor.
I also wanted to see how easily I could give my 5 point articulated figure a modern articulation without compromising the original design too much. So I made one of the main hero character. I am quite happy with the result. I especially like that the body segments move as if the owl would move its head and body.

Here are some updates. I finished making smooth versions of all the characters now. I also slightly modified some of them. Last but not least I made a new character, the bombing squirrel.
