I’m back with a new custom action figure! Actual semi regular updates! Crazy, I know. Anyway, my latest custom figure is that of the silent assassin Quiet, from the video game Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. This was a commission for a client who wanted a figure of Quiet in the 6″ Marvel Legends scale. She was really fun to make. I particularly enjoyed sculpting the hair and the bikini…BECAUSE I GOT TO PRACTICE SCULPTING FABRIC AND NO OTHER REASON GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER. It was a lot of fun cobbling together her harness as well. Be sure to visit the page for this custom for the full photo set and details on how it was made. And check out the Youtube video for this custom action figure to see exclusive WIP photos! Thanks for taking a look. See You next time. [INSERT A QUIET PLACE MEME HERE]

 

New Custom Action Figure! – Dark Claw from Amalgam Comics (Batman/Wolverine Hybrid)

Hey everyone. I’ve got a new custom action figure to show you. This time I’ve made Dark Claw from Amalgam Comics, the hybrid between Batman and Wolverine during the mid 90’s Marvel VS DC Comics crossover event! Even if you’ve never read the comic, you’re probably familiar with the image. He has a striking and ridiculous design, and the fact that it’s Batman and Wolverine combined makes sense that he’s always been a fan favorite. This was a commissioned piece. Dark Claw is made from a Marvel Legends Juggernaut Wave Wolverine, with a whole bunch of sculpting, fabricating, and painting, with a poseable cape! Be sure to check out the full photo set and description HERE. And also make sure you check out the Youtube video, featuring a ton of exclusive WIP photos! Thanks for taking a look.

Be sure to visit the gallery page for the full photo set and description on how Captain Falcon was made, and you can check out the Youtube video for this custom action figure to see some exclusive Work In Progress photos and see the process!

Hey guys. I know it’s been a long time since I updated the site. I promise you I haven’t gone anywhere though. I’ve been steadily working the past year and a half on various commissions, I just haven’t had time to update the site. But I’m planning on changing that and slowly start updating regularly again. And with that I bring you my latest custom action figure, Captain America based on his look in Avengers Infinity War as The Nomad! I had to carefully study the trailer frame by frame to get this right. I also made a custom pair of “Vibranium Wakanda Battle Shields” for him to wear on his forearms. These are based on the shields he’s wearing at the end of the trailer. Cap is up on eBay right now, so if you’re interested in owning this custom, just CLICK HERE to bid. Also be sure to check out the full page for Captain America so you can read the entire description on how he was made. And be sure to check out the Youtube Video for exclusive WIP photos. I’ll see you guys later, and I promise it won’t take a year and a half haha.

 

New Custom Figures – Armored Batman with Light Up Eyes and Movie Repaint Batman!

Hey everyone. Now that Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice is here, I wanted to celebrate with some customs! I bring you two this week. The first is a repainted DC Comics Multiverse Batman v Superman Batman. He’s been repainted head to toe to be more realistic and movie accurate, had the weird cowl texture sanded down, given a new fabric cape, and I’ve given him a grapnel gun, and a movie accurate batarang I made out of styrene. The second is Armored Batman with light up eyes!. With some customizing magic, I added an LED inside the figure so Armored Batman’s eyes light up in that awesome intimidating way like in the movie. Not only that, but this one has also been fully repainted to look more realistic, and he’s got a fabric cape, and I even made him a Kryptonite spear, like the one he uses in the film. I’m really proud of how I was able to fit the wiring, switch, and battery compartment in the figure.

Be sure to check out the pages for each custom to see lots more pics, and read up on how they were made. Also, the Youtube videos for my Batman and Armored Batman custom figures have exclusive WIP photos! The Batman and Armored Batman customs are also up for auction on eBay this week.

Hey everyone! My latest custom action figure is up, Batman 1989 movie style! I took the recent NECA Batman Classic Video Game Appearance action figure and completely repainted it. It involved me taking apart the entire figure, including removing the head from the cowl (yeah there’s a Michael Keaton face under there!). I even detailed the face, including the black makeup around the eyes. I also gave my custom Batman 1989 movie figure two capes! One hangs naturally, the other has wires in the top for placing in his hands outstretched like when you first see him in the Batman 1989 movie. Pretty cool, huh?

Here is my latest custom, Ra’s Al Ghul in his League of Shadows ninja gear from Batman Begins! I always wanted Mattel to make this version, but since they never did I just had to do it myself. Ra’s Al Ghul has been rendered in complete movie accurate detail, down to the plating on the back of his gloves and even his belt. I even sculpted in and removed the weird open mouth gap the Ra’s head had before. Click on the photo below to see the full photo set and detailed description on how it was made.

Custom Action Figure – Predator Armor Dutch Schaefer

Hey everyone! Had to take a break from updating the customs for a couple of weeks in order to get some commissions done. I’m back with a new one, just in time for Halloween! This week I bring you a movie concept of Dutch Schaefer in Predator armor! I always thought it would be awesome to see Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character of Dutch back in another Predator movie, decked out in his old enemy’s armor, maybe hunting down other Predators for the U.S. government. How awesome would that have been? So I took a NECA Predator, stripped all the armor and weapons off, and put them on Dutch. I even included a severed Predator head as a trophy! Sick, right? For the full photo set, and detailed description on how Predator Armor Dutch was made, just click the photo below. And for those interested, Predator Armor Dutch is currently for auction on eBay. If you want to own this custom, or know someone who would, just CLICK HERE to bid.

Custom Action Figure – Wedding Avengers (Groom & Groomsmen Gifts)

Hey everyone. I know, I know, it’s definitely different from my usual custom action figure subject matter. However, when I was contacted by a groom to be, wanting his friends’ likenesses put on Avengers bodies as a gift for being in his wedding, I couldn’t resist. I loved the sentimentality, and it was nice doing something different. Not only that, but some time after, I was contacted by one of the former groomsmen who wanted to get the groom his own Avengers custom action figure, with him as Nick Fury! Again, I couldn’t resist. It made sense to complete the set, as it were. If nothing else, this project certainly helped me hone my hair sculpting skills. If you want to check out the full photo gallery, complete with a full description on how each custom was made, CLICK HERE or the photo below. And be sure to check out the Youtube video I made for these, which has exclusive WIP (work in progress) photos!
