Custom Figure – It’s 80’s Cartoon Villain Week with The Shredder & Mumm-Ra!

Yep, you read the title right. I’m dubbing this week 80’s Cartoon Villain Week here at Mint Condition Customs, as I’m bringing you all custom figures of The Shredder (the constant thorn in the side of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Mumm-Ra the Ever Living (the evil undead menace to the Thundercats). The Shredder is based on his look in the current Nickelodeon cartoon series. I had to combine the parts from both of the current Shredder figures to make him fully poseable, since neither one has great articulation on its own. He was also given a full repaint to help bring out the details and make his armor shiny!

Mumm-Ra was something I started a long time ago, but only recently finished once the idea of this week’s theme dawned on me. I took the Thundercats Classics Mumm-Ra figure and installed some wiring in his big hollow torso and gave him light up eyes! With just the flip of a switch on his back Mumm-Ra’s eyes glow an eerie red, as if summoning the ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL! He was also given some poseable bandages, handmade cape accurate to the cartoon, and a full repaint to look more realistic. Be sure to click the links below to see the full photo sets and descriptions for how each custom was made.

Ever since I first saw the Thundercats Classics Mumm-Ra action figure, I saw a lot of potential. The big hollow torso meant I could fit some wiring in there, and that was what made me give him light up eyes! I’m a sucker for gimmicks like that, so I had to do it. I made sure it wouldn’t interfere with the head movement, so the head still retains full articulation and stays lit up the whole time with a flip of a switch on the back. I also took some poseable ribbon and made him some bandages that can be wrapped around the figure any way you like, and even posed to look like they’re shooting out, as if Mumm-Ra is about to grab one of the Thundercats to mummify! And of course I had to give Mumm-Ra his awesome cape. I took some red and black fabric and combined them to be show accurate, and made the cape look tattered and worn. It looks cool, is easily attachable and detachable from the figure, and moves perfectly in conjuction with the arms of the figure. After a full repaint to make him look more realistic, such as making his gold armor look ancient and rusted, Mumm-Ra is ready to summon the ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL to take down those pesky Thundercats!
