So, I was married this past summer! June 20th, 2015. It was awesome, and these past few months as a married man have been amazing. Of course, being an action figure customizer, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make my own wedding cake toppers. I decided to forgo the traditional cake toppers in formal wear, and instead decided to base the figures on our own personalities and clothing styles. I made myself, John, using the body of a DST Buffy Deluxe Angel, with the coat and arms from a DST Deluxe Spike. The head is a Marvel Legends movie Winter Soldier with a sculpted beard. My wife, Sarah, was made using a DST Buffy Deluxe Kennedy with sculpted bust, hips, and posterior to better match my wife’s body type. The head is from a Mattel female wrestler (not sure who it is), and the hair comes from a movie X-Men Jean Grey. Her favorite color is purple, so I gave her figure a purple shirt! Everything was painted appropriately using Testors Model Masters acrylics, and all sculpting was done with Aves Apoxie Sculpt. And now my wife and I are immortalized as action figures, ready to take on whatever the world throws our way.

This set of custom action figures was a commission from a groom to be who wanted to give these to his groomsmen as gifts. He and his friends are Marvel fans, so he requested that I recreate their likenesses as members of the Avengers. The new Hulk head came from a wrestler figure, whose name I forget, but he looks like a 19th century strong man. I had to shave his mustache, and sculpt an entire head of hair over his bald head. The new Cap head started out as a DST Angel head. I pushed the hairline up some and gave him a new hairdo. The new Thor head came from a TNA Eric Young, with sculpted beard and resculpted hair. The new Iron Man head came from a Stargate Teal’c. I removed the forehead symbol, gave him a mustache, and hollowed out an Iron Man head, cut out the face plate, and stuffed the new head inside, so you could see his face.
Some time after this, I was contacted by one of the former groomsmen wanting to get the aforementioned groom his own Avengers custom action figure. Since all the other spots were taken, he felt it was appropriate to turn him into Nick Fury. His head started out as a TNA Sonjay Dutt. I sculpted on his beard, resculpted the hair, and gave him an eyepatch. It’s maybe a bit of a weird set of custom action figures, but I enjoyed doing something different and I really liked the sentiment behind it. If nothing else, I certainly honed my hair sculpting skills!
