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]

Quiet is the mute assassin from Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain who breathes through her skin and will suffocate if she wears too much clothing (very subtle). She’s a unique and interesting character with a memorable look, and I had to do her justice in action figure form. Quiet is made from a Hasbro Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel figure. The hair is partially from a movie X-Men Jean Grey glued on with some custom sculpting over it. Her glove cuff and bikini are completely sculpted as well. The boots came from a Toy Biz X-Men Classics Cyclops. Her harness is cobbled together from a NECA Predator Dutch vest and belt, some straps and buckles from a Dark Knight Prototype Batman, some pouches, and a knife. The entire figure was painted for accuracy to the video game. Various shades of grey blended with skin tone were done to achieve the ripped leggings. I just had to finish it off by giving her a cool looking rifle, and now Quiet is ready to take on Venom Snake!

This was a commissioned piece for someone who wanted a 6″ scaled F-Zero Captain Falcon action figure, based on his alternate black outfit from the Nintendo game Super Smash Bros. Melee. For the base, I used a DC Universe Classics Batman, with the boots from an Arkham City Batman, the head of a DC Universe Classics Flash, and the belt/gun from a DCUC Starman. The head, boots, torso, and arms were sculpted onto with meticulous detail using Aves Apoxie Sculpt, with his visor being made of sheet polystyrene. Then the figure was painted with the colors matching the video game reference.

I wanted to give this piece something extra, so I decided to make a Falcon Punch accessory effect. It was sculpted using hot glue, over his arm so it would perfectly fit. I had to cover the arm with cling wrap first so the glue wouldn’t stick to it, and I used some clear packing tape as the guides for the wings and tail. This was a long and delicate process that I feel really paid off. Then I painted it using clear yellow, orange, and red for the fiery effect. And now Captain Falcon is ready to take on any challenger!

New Custom Action Figure – Captain America, Avengers Infinity War (I’m Back!)

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.

Captain America is back, but since the events of Civil War he’s changed. He’s now a fugitive on the run. He no longer has his shield and no place to call home. He’s ripped the star from his chest and the Avengers symbols from his shoulders. He’s rolled up his sleeves, let his hair and beard grow out, and now he’s The Nomad. Finding refuge in the city of Wakanda, he’s given two Vibranium Wakanda Battle Shields to help in the fight against the army of the Mad Titan Thanos!

This custom action figure was made by going through the Avengers Infinity War trailer frame by frame to make sure I got all the details just right. The hair and beard are sculpted, as are the forearms and the rolled up sleeves. The “Wakanda Battle Shields” are hand sculpted/crafted and based on the shields Cap wields at the end of the trailer. I dremeled out the star in his chest and sculpted some tattered fabric on the shoulders where the Avengers logo was. I painted the entire thing to give a real, weathered kinda dirty look and now Cap is finally Nomad!

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. If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, click the pictures below to take you to the corresponding auction page. Thanks for looking!

Batman’s armored look in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice is pretty cool, and the Mattel DC Multiverse figure is awesome, but he’s even better with light up eyes! I had to do some heavy modding to this figure to get it to work, since there’s very little room inside the figure for wiring. It took every bit of customizing trickery I know, but now Batman has some awesome and intimidating light up eyes. I used a bright white LED that fits inside the head, with some fogged up clear styrene behind the eye holes to help diffuse the light. I made sure the switch to turn it on and off, and the battery compartment were easily accessible on his back. I removed the cape and added a fabric one, because I thought it looked much better, and hides the switch and battery as an added bonus! The figure has also been given a full repaint, with dark washes, and metallic highlights for a realistic feel. Of course I couldn’t make this figure without giving Batman his Kryptonite Spear! This is the weapon he fashions in the movie to use against Superman, so I had to recreate it. With his light up eyes, kryptonite spear, and grenade launcher, Armored Batman is ready to lay the beat down on that Kryptonian menace, and any other baddies in his way!

The Mattel DC Multiverse Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice Batman has a pretty good sculpt, it just lacks in the paint department. I wanted to give him a full movie accurate, realistic repaint. So I gave all of the gray areas a dark wash, with some light highlinting to really bring out all the detail in the sculpt. I painted the scallops on his gloves gold to match the movie. I cut off the cape and heavily modified the cowl so I could glue it down to the body. Then, I attached a fabric cape for better posing and aesthetics. Of course the head was repainted to look more like Ben Affleck, including his 5 O’Clock shadow! I also sanded down the weird texture on the cowl to match the neck piece. Then, I modified a grapnel gun accessory from one of the basic Dawn of Justice Batman figures. I made it smaller and more compact so it didn’t look quite so ridiculous. I painted it to look like the one he uses in the movie, and fabricated a fully movie accurate batarang out of styrene for him to hold and throw at some criminals! Now Batman is ready to dispense all sorts of righteous Gotham justice!

For anyone who likes to visit this site, you may have noticed a complete lack of updates for the past few months. A lot has been going on my life that kept me mostly off the internet. I recently moved to a new apartment, and it took forever for them to get internet access to my new place. I was reduced to using my phone for a few basic things whenever I had a good signal. I had to spend much longer than I expected setting up my new office and workspace as well, as even after we moved in, the apartment complex maintenance wasn’t completely finished setting things up, so that was frustrating. I also recently had a family member pass away. That took up quite a bit of my time, as I was trying to console her while we dealt with everything you have to in that situation. Continue reading →
