New Weed In Town

Today we have Frozen Snakeweed from the Nickelodeon episode "New Girl In Town."
The figure is 100% repainted to match the show with slight sculpting done to the face to add the exploded canister.
The legs are also carved out a bit more around the knee joint so he stands taller.
Hope you like him and thanks for looking!
This bad boy much like Mutated Fish Woman April are currently for sale on eBay!

GIMME DANGER!

Here he is folks! Bellybomb, one character I've wanted an action figure of since I was a kid!
I spent quite a bit of time on this one and made sure he was just right.
I opted not to give him eyelashes as I thought it made the figure look odd.

Bellybomb is from the TMNT Adventures series by Archie Comics.
He can be seen in Issues #23, #24, & #25.
I based the look and sculpt on a number or drawings I had of him from all the different artists that drew him.

Pestilence

Hey everyone! A new custom finally!
This time round it's Pestilence of the four horsemen from the Archie TMNT Adventures series.
As you may recall I did a figure of Death a few years back.
Pestilence has always been my favorite of the bunch as his design is just so cool!(We can thank Peter Laird for that)
I do plan to make the other two horsemen in time, but I'm sad to say I'm going to be taking a bit of a break as of this post.
I won't be gone for to long though you can count on that. :)
I made Pestilence by completely sanding down a McFarlane Toys Total Chaos Quartz figure and sculpting over the entire body.
I got the idea for the texture of the figure from an old Toy Biz Spider-Man Swarm figure.
Though I did all of the texturing for this by hand.
I did try to leave as much articulation as possible but it wasn't easy with this one.
And while he isn't my largest custom he is by far the heaviest of the bunch.

I'm really happy with how he turned out and I hope you are as well.

You can catch Pestilence in TMNT Adventures issues #38, #39, & Mighty Mutanimals #6

Cha Ocho

Well It's been awhile again..work and life get in the way of fun stuff like TMNT customs.

But here is Cha Ocho of Mirage TMNT Volume 4 & Tales of the TMNT Volume 2.

This was a character that I thought would be easy to make at first but ran into many road blocks when working on it.

The biggest problem was consistency which tends to be a problem when basing a toy off of a character that has been drawn by quite a few people.

Not to mention we don't see him in color very often, as the Mirage comics are black & white (besides the covers).
I had to take a bit from other images of volume 4 Foot Soldiers to bring it all together into something I was happy with.


This figure was made using a DC Universe Classics John Stewart figure and lost os sculpting (New hair, straps, katana sheath, leg armor, Arm armor, shoulder armor, foot and hand armor)

I hope you folks out there enjoy him as well.

More to come soon and I hope this time it won't be another 4 months.

Stump Wrestling Donatello

This custom was made for Technodrome forum member Spitfire and is based on Donatello's outfit as seen in Archie Adventures #7, #8, & #37.

Nobody's Fool

Hey folks! It's been quite some time since my last custom figure.
Life sort of gets in the way of doing fun things like this some times.
I'm going to try and do these more often again though.

Todays custom is Nobody from the Mirage Comics series Tales of the TMNT.
This custom is based mostly on Nobodys first apearance inside Tales of the TMNT Vol. 1 #2.
Check it out here

I used a few figures to make this figure.

The body is that of DCUC Batman & Superman Public Enemies "Major Force" figure.

The Head is that of Marvel Legends Moon Knight figure.

The cape comes from a McFarlene Toys Deluxe Burnt Spawn figure.
I hope you enjoy this figure as much as I enjoyed making it!

Warrior Dragon Part 2

Well here it is the final painted sculpt of my Archie TMNT Adventures Warrior Dragon custom action figure!

This guy took me about a month to do from start to finish and is by far the largest custom I've done thus far.

The base is a marvel legends Fin Fang Foom figure.

I sanded down the entire body, sculpted over the entire body (nails, armor, hair, nose, face hair, back fins, chest, wraps, & collar), & painted the body from head to tail.

This character was rather difficult to pin down design wise, as he was drawn a number of ways over the span of the comics.

I'm dedicating this figure to 2 of my biggest inspirations from my teenage years Ryan Brown & Steve Murphy aka Dean Clarrain.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it!

Bishop's Gambit

I wasn't very happy with Playmates Toys Bishop figure so I've decided to make my own.
I used a Dc Universe Classics The Question & an Agent Smith head from the Matrix toy line.
I sanded down The Questions neck and placed the Agent Smith head in.
I also sanded down the collar on The Questions coat, sander back Agent Smiths hairline, & sideburns.
I repainted The Questions shirt, coat, pants, & hands.
On Agent Smiths head I repainted the entire head, eyebrows and all.

The Making Of A Warrior

This is the first look at a custom I've been working on for quite some time.

I used a Marvel Legends Fin Fang Foom build a figure to create this custom.

I sanded down the entire body, cut the fins off his face and tail, and sculpted a lot of parts from head to toe!

This is my largest custom to date dwarfing even my Titanus custom.

So without further waiting here are the prepainted Warrior Dragon photos.

Go! Lani! Go!

This custom was made for myself and is of Golani from the Archie TMNT Adventure comics #53 - #54.

Stump Wrestling Leonardo

This custom was made for Technodrome forum member Spitfire and is based on Archie TMNT Adventures #7, #8, & #37.

This Aint No Spider Man!

This is my last post before I pack up my computer and ready myself for my big move back to California.
The last 3 years have been crazy, fun, full of learning, and growing.
I spent allot of time in pain which has taken a serious toll on my life let alone making customs.
This and what will be the other 3 Wrestling TMNT are commissioned by great TMNT fan Spitfire.
I must appologise for taking so long with this all but I hope you can understand.
I'll post the other Turtles as a finish them.
And if anyone else orderd one of these from me expect to get them at San Diego Comic-Con.
This has been a long time coming baby!
Thanks So Much for everything guys.

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD!

This I think is one of my best customs, mostly because I've put allot of time into it as it's not for myself.
This figure is for my friend and creator of this character Steve Murphy so I wanted to make sure everything was to exact detail for him.
Sadly this shouldn't have taken me as long as it did but I had a few paint problems along the way.
I used a WWE Armando Estrada figure as the base incase anyone wanted to know.
The Gun comes from a Movie Spawn figure & The Cigar comes from a Don Moncinni Gangsters Inc figure which will be used for another upcoming custom.
I based his look on various appearances through the comics but his outfit is based on the United We Stand Divided We Fall storyline from TMNT Adventures & Mighty Mutanimals.
