Brandon Gibbs asks: In the reviews of Rocket Red for the DC subscription, he appears to be much larger in comparison to a standard figure than he has been to regular characters in virtually all his comic appearances. Also, the particular RR design seems to be between the original JLI Dmitri version most people favor and the current DCnU version. Can you talk a little about the design choices for Rocket Red so fans will understand why these elements were chosen?
This was completely a choice from the Horsemen and Mattel design in order to maximize shared parts and deliver a unique figure.
Troy asks: Considering the key role Emiliano Santalucia played in creating the Classics line for MOTU, would it be possible to get some kind of credit for him on the packaging, such as ‘Created by Emiliano Santalucia’ – even if it is only on the white mailers under the MOTU logo.
Hello there, and welcome to the newest feature on Mint Condition Customs: W.I.P. It! For those who don’t know, the term “W.I.P.” is used in customizing circles. It’s an acronym standing for “work in progress”. I’m going to use this new feature to highlight my past work and give you a closer look at the process I use for creating my custom action figures. I’ll post photos and have a write-up discussing the process as well. I’ll make this a Friday feature. I may not have one to post every Friday, but if I do it will only be on Fridays, for future reference.
