Here is a custom I made for the contest we run every month on our Heroclix forum. The theme was "Amagalm". For those who don't know, DC and Marvel sometimes decide to mix their comics universes, it's called "Amalgam". When it happens, they also mix characters themselves! It gives things like Super Patriot (Superman + Captain America) or Dark Claw (Batman + Wolverine). For the contest, we had to create an Amalgam character, and I decided to come with a villain, Radioactivo, Half Radioactive Man (Marvel), and half Metallo (DC).

I am somewhat familiar with the characters and like the conversion you made. Do you have a large collection of figures?

Heroclix? Not Really. I think I didn't bought more than 15 boosters in four years of gaming...I bought most minis as singles. However, I did collect the Masters of Evil and have maybe 40 of them. And of course, I have almost all the Thunderbolts. I'm a HUGE fan of the Thunderbolts! But there must be 10 HC minis of them, so it wasn't that much a challenge... (I still miss this Citizen V, but he's rare and damn too expensive for a prepainted plastic mini...).
I want to pick up the one they made of Dark Phoenix

The big one with clear plastic wings? Ouch! This is one expensive character...Is it why you didn't get it yet, or didn't you find one?
I have not found one yet. I will be picking it up sometime between now and Christmas.

I have some contacts in the heroclix retail world, maybe I can see if somebody sells one here in France?
That would be great, thanks

I've been calling for sellers on our HC forum first. We'll see if there are people having it...
Edit: Did you check on E-Bay? I just saw this:

It will probably get more expensive than 1$, but maybe it's worth keeping an eye on it...
Thanks I will keep an eye on that one for sure.
Looks like a cool conversion!
I'v never seen any of the figures and If you hadn't said, I would have thought it was just a stock model!
Some solid painting aswell.
In fact the custom is made of the original Radioactive Man, and pieces of a mechwarrior agromech. And some green stuff for the shoulder/chest metal part. I also used guitar strings for the wires.
