Natassia (Hyoga's mother) Saint Seiya Myth Cloth custom figure

 Here is Natassia, Hyoga's mother, in dead/frozen state. Made as she appears in some flashbacks in the anime, when Hyoga mourns her loss. I was asked to do her, and thought Pandora was the best base, with I think Athena's dress, and Shaka's hair.

Erii Aizawa (Daisy) Saint Seiya Myth Cloth custom figure

 This is Erii/Daisy, main character in one of Saint Seiya's OVAS. I did her with a young poison ivy, and a myth cloth dress. I made the trident from scratch and chromed it to look more professional.





Belenguer Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Custom Figure coma berenice

This is Belenguer, another knight of the Zodiac appearing just in one movie (OVA). It has quite a different design from others. This in particular was very very complicated, as the real cloth toga had to be removable, as the character in the movie, and so removable armour pieces and belt had to be made. I wasn't very adroit at the time, and was stuck with it trying to get it right for days.

Death Darksiders III videogame Custom action figure

This was probably my most complicated custom figure of 2020, the jewel of the crown, so to speak. Didn't post it yet as I was awaiting the client who asked for it to receive it (in the end, and after fearing it lost, it was delivered more than 10 days after it was presumably delivered to a wrong address).

Anyway, the amount of work that went into him is vast. He has 3 pairs of hands, removable interchangeable belts, fully articulated everywhere, weapons were first sculpted then casted onto plastic with removable handles, elastic rubber hair, wired fabric everywhere (except on red belt) and everything varnished twice to ensure maximum poseability.

I chose a dark elf made by Neca, as he had good similarities, but I had to expand him and over musculate him very much.

Gemini Zodiac Marvel Legends custom figure

 This is  Gemini, from the Zodiac. One of the most striking characters of the group. I selected carefully black and white parts, to make it as poseable as possible :) .

Flashpoint Stormwatch image Marvel Legends custom figure

Here is Flashpoint, member of Stormwatch. Done last year. The character is one of those 90s supermusculated types, so I used a mattel wrestler to get a imposing size. The difficult on him was mainly his effects, and his eye effect, which I managed to make it stand on his goggles nicely! #custom #customfigure #actionfigure #argentacustoms #stormwatch #image #comicbook #independentcomics #flashpoint

 

War Darksiders III videogame custom action figure in 7 inch Marvel Legends style

This is one of my most complicated custom figures of all time! was asked to do this in 7 inch, with 3 pairs of hands, and his sword to be able to be carried on his back with a magnet. Tremendously complex, I was at him for months. The base figure I had purchased, was finally not the best option (Reinhardt), so I had to engineer a frankenstein with all sorts of difficulties!! it even has wired, real textile parts. The sword was first sculpted half, then casted and both halfs made with molten plastic and reattached together, with a magnet inside. #custom #customfigure #actionfigure #argentacustoms #videogame #war #darksiders #darksidersiii #darksiders3

Virgo Zodiac Marvel Legends custom figure Toybiz

 And here is Virgo, only female member of the Zodiac I've made. Following the classic version, using a now vintage Psylocke. Although much have improved base figures since then, still Psylocke is not that bad figure, and with a skirt, I think it still looks very good. In certain aspects, maybe my best custom of this Zodiac batch.






Pisces Zodiac Marvel Legends custom figure

This is one of the coolest character of the Zodiac, Pisces. Inspired also by glennwebman's version. It's spikes posed a serious challenge, but managed to do them with molten plastic.
