I don't really think Cap counts as a custom- the suit and head were part of a small junk lot I won on Ebay, I think the body was a Castaway. The head got some touch-up paint that blended really well. The boots were from Ctvt- and so thin that you could easily see through them- they painted up well. I still need to add a star to the chest.
The shield came from a 6 or 7 inch Walmart Cap exclusive
I painted the white- it was silver. I thought the shield was about the right size and it has molded straps on the inside. The figure also came with a Thompson machine gun and a .45
Next up is Supe. It's an original Mego head on a Zica muscle body with a Castaway Super Suit and cape- Getting those boots on almost sent me on a murderous rampage through the countryside. The belt was from a 12' and cut and glued to fit - since the Zica body was just too wide for the Castaway belt.
The last one - I don't know- just seeing the Ctvt Space 1999 figures and the skeletons they sell- just seemed like they needed to go together- at least the white hands lend themselves well. I had to cut off most of the zipper pull in order to get the space helmet base to fit better.
I also made a rookie mistake by trying to use some model glue to stick the corner of the sticker down- one, it didn't stick, two- a little residue on my fingers smudged the graphics- so , exacto knife to the rescue- it looks fine with the corner cut off- better that than smeared graphics.

But I agree with Ronin; the camera seems to like your backgrounds more. 
Get rid of them and do what Ronin suggested!
