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!

Complete Carnage Again

Nothing new really just edited and made the images into one image for easier viewing.

The Unknown Ninja

Well here are are again and what's this? An old school cartoon custom!
I've not done very many as I was trying to focus on the Mirage cast first but when the latest old toon dvd was released I got inspired.
So here we have one of the most hated characters in the history of TMNT, Carter.
I'm not quite sure why he was/ is so hated but it seems as years pass and new fans come across the later episodes, the hate for Carter seems to fade just a bit.
While he's not one of my favorite characters, I always felt he needed to be represented in toy form.

He stars in seasons 9 & 10 which you can read about by clicking the numbers.
Season 9 is available for purchase HERE
To make this figure a reality I took 2 figures.

The first being Modern Starman from the DC Universe Classics line, I use his body as it's pretty much exactly like Carters.(A bit of sanding was done on the coat, sculpted the shirt to a longer length, and lots of paint.)
I had the idea the moment the toy was shown at toyfair some time ago, I sadly couldn't think of a head though until recently.

Dc Direct released the new Aqualad action figure from the Brightest Day series.
When I saw the prototype of this figure I just knew it would be the closest I'd ever get to a match for Carter without me sculpting a new head myself.
Mind you I did have to re-sculpt the hair which turned out to be quite a challenge.
So here he is and I hope you like him even if you hate him. ;)

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.

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.

A Raph Of A Different Color!

This custom was recently done for Technodrome member Master Splinter and is based on the Archie TMNT Adventures Covers #7, #8, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, & #37

For whatever reason the covers always had him with purple highlights instead of blue that we saw inside the comics.

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.

Attack Of The Neutrinos (part 2 in 3 part series)

Well this damn figure (Kala) and her little Pet the Grybyx have taken me forever to finish what with starting a job and trying to get them as perfect as I can so I don't have to hear to much of "I'd have done it this or that way" and then having the Grybyx's arm's break off and having to resculpt him.
I've also been working on a set of 4 custom TMNT for Spitfire, Finishing a painting for a client, and just started working a cd design for a local band. So there hasn't been much time for me to do my own projects and trust me there are allot of TMNT customs I've got lined up.
I was never happy with how Kala was painted and the things she came with, that's why I did this.
One of the hardest parts was trying to do the cartoonish black outlines around the figures as I had to keep going back over and repainting color parts as the paint would get on a little to much.
The other thing that made this so difficult was the fact that the shade of green that they used on Kala's outfit in the show isn't sold in stores so I had to mix quite a few shades together for that and some other things like the Grybyx's eyes.
I really tried as hard as I could though to get these things to look as close to the show, so I hope you enjoy them.

Teenagers From Dimension X

Last time I showed the start of my custom corrected Zak the Neutrino figure.
Now it's time to share the final piece with an extra photo of Zak with the 4 NECA TMNT to show the height of the figure matches pretty closely to how it should in conjunction to the turtles and the style trying to closely match that of the new NECA figures.

Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X

I thought I would start sharing some of the things I'm working on and the first of them is a figure I've always really never been to happy with because of how it didn't look as it did on the show.
These are all the first photos of my custom Zak the Neutrino, I will be posting photos of the finished figure soon so please keep that in mind.
What I've changed so far on the figure is that I've cut off allot of the extra unneeded detail, sculpted a new nose on his face to match how it looks on the show, and the biggest things where his hair and shoulder pads.
I will also be fixing Dask, Kala, making Kala's Grybyx, as well as making the Star Mobile.
So keep an eye out for all of that as well as a General Traag figure to go along with this set also made completely from another figure.

Tokka for Tokka Part 1

This drawing of Tokka is for my good friend Tokka/Dave many of you know him.
He collects different artists renditions of his name sake and has been going through rough times as of late so as a gift I thought I'd take a stab at the character.
My Drawing is based off of the Jim Henson Companies animatronic costume.
