The Beheaded my 1000th custom! Dead Cells Custom Action Figure marvel legends by Argenta 2008 custom

 It's finally here! it has taken me almost a year to decide and produce what would be my landmark custom 1000th. It could not be anything simple nor straightforward, nor anything like I've done before. So after countless hours of researching and one big project left behind (possibly custom 1100th!) I decided for him.... the Beheaded from Dead Cells!

For those who don't know the game, it is a recent indie videogame soon to have an animated series too. A very fresh character that hasn't been much seen. It gave me the chance to try my new technique of clear, elastic polymer, with which his various heads and weapons are made from!

I started with a classic ToyBiz Loki, (yes, I am old school!) with some feet from white Vision (never better feet in 6" scale have been made!) and Vision forearms too. Some molten plastic here and there, and as the character varies from version to version (in-game, animated, game cover) I have done 3 different heads.

Then, to depict his animated eye appearance from the trailers and upcoming series, I've made two removable eyes to place in whichever head.

Comes with energy sword, electrifying sword, energy whip, mystic energy ball, thundering ball, magic potion, arrows, and most important of all... the greatest weapon of them all... a old battered frying pan!

Mirage cartoon version (COPS n' Crooks) Custom Action Figure

Here is Mirage, a character in the COPS n Crooks cartoon. As usual, the female characters were left out of the produced toy figure roster, even if she appears in many episodes. The client asked for a original COPS n Crooks figure as base, which is understandable, the complexity comes when no female was released in the line! So some frankensteinization was in order :) . Dr Badvibes is very thin and proved to be the best bet. Legs were taken from another character though, as still looked good and were identical. Head from a movie character, probably Aliens.

Streetwise (COPS n' Crooks) Custom Action Figure

Yet another unreleased COPS n Crooks character, and now I think I have made them nearly all. It seems they were quite sure that everything was going to continue, as they did a lot of prototypes. This one reminds me of GI Joe Topside, at least the face is almost identical!

Vowels (COPS n' Crooks) Custom Action Figure

Yet another prototype that sees the light of day for first time thanks to the noble art of customizing! Vowels helicopter specialist of the COPS n Crooks wave 2. I used a Highway as was very similar. Made his removable helmet and all extra gear.

Ironhammer (COPS n' Crooks) Custom Action Figure

 

Another COPS, this time a sort of canadian mounted policeman. In my opinion one of the coolest that didn't get made. It was very complex to do his accesories, I had to glue all sorts of left over parts I had. Also to create the hat was challenging. Now, someday I will do him in 3.75 to be compatible with Joes :)

Tex Hex cartoon vintage version (Bravestarr) Custom Action Figure

 This is Tex Hex, in cartoon style. Always shocked me how different were the figures from the cartoon! and by, relatively, later times. I am usually 95 % inclined to the cartoon, and this is no exception ;) . This is a short modification, not a complete custom job, just enough to get the general feel without having to sand, drill and turn it to a job of weeks rather than days.

Boosted Gear High School DXD Issei Hyoudou (Anime) Custom Action Figure Figma 赤龍帝の籠手 ブーステッド･ギア

Boosted Gear, from the manga-anime High School DXD. This is my latest finished custom happily received by it's new owner. I was asked to do this very complex character. I did a long research, and found that the Berserk figure from SH Figuarts recently released was the best base for the job, more over he already had a manga-anime vibe to it. I got rid of all the extra bits, made basic parts of molten plastic, wings out of outdoors DIY rigid hard clear plastic, and then epoxy sculpting all over, and whiskers from a Shiryu from saint seiya myth cloth. Tail obtained from a Radamanthys figure, adequately modified. Wings are removable, and it features a good few removable hands. Wings are massively heavy, and was challenging to make him stand upright with such weight. Now I need to see sometime the anime or manga, as I have grown curious of it :). 5th pic shows last minute minor modification making his inner robe more maroon.
