The Mythic Legions action figure customs of Jeremy Girard

Irum

As soon as I finished my blue Djinn custom, I knew that I wanted to make a similar custom in red to use as an Ifrit. I imagine this character as an adversary to the Djinn. He is hot tempered and aggressive where the Djinn is calm and careful. On display, they certainly make a complimentary pair. They obviously share many of the same pieces, but I also tried to make them different so that they would each be unique in their own way.

Recipe

My Ifrit began life as a Gorothokk shadow orc figure. The first step was to disassemble the figure so that I could paint his body parts red. I tried a few different reds for this custom, eventuall decided in a mix between Vallejo Red and Vermillion. The armor pieces for the Ifrit all came from a Barbarian Builder Kit. I like the way the flat black of that armor works with the red of the ifrit's body. His feet were a custom cast part I bought from Marcus Akin. Those bare feet were one of the pieces that I did differently than the blue Djinn (who has the fully armored feet in gold) and I really like what they add to this character!  The ponytail for the Ifrit is also different from the one I used on the Djinn. This one comes from a Warcraft Legends of the Storm Illidan figure. Like the Djinn, I dremeled a hole in the back of this head and glued the ponytail in place.

For my Ifrit's accessories, I had two different looks that I switch back and forth from, not able to decide which I like better. The first look is a pair of flames that he has sprouting from his hands. Those flame effects are from a Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch figure. The second option uses a pair of weapons from the Masters of the Universe Draego-man figure. I never really cared for the "flame effect" on this sword and whip, but I do like how they look in the Ifrit's hands and I routinely swap them and the flame fists onto the custom in my display.
