Ashley Zolomon Flash DC Comics custom figure

Here is Ashley Zolomon, character appearing in the Flash, famous for having been the ex-wife of Dr. Zoom. Made as in her first appearances. Was hard to find images to depict her in this style, as only close ups could be found. Made using a America Chavez body with Rogue AoA head. #custom #customfigure #argenta #argenta2008 #dc #flash #barryallen #wallywest #ashleyzolomon #drzoom #reverseflash

 

The Candyman (DC Universe) Custom Action Figure

Here is the Candyman! a character that made some brief appearances in the Flash, one of those mob-leaders which very rarely makes it to action figure form. The fun in here is his candy-shaped baton. He was supposed to be very muscular, and wearing suit, the options were very limited. I saw Mr Fixit as a perfect base figure, and even if I had some difficulties finding it, I found one (albeit if he had two left legs, which wasn't supposed to when I bought it, and had to adjust that too!). Most complex was creating his candy stick. 

 

Brother Grimm (Flash) Custom Action Figure

Another Flash villain, this time one with quite a few appearances in the DC Universe. An interesting detailed design, gives me vibes of a Thor enemy. I thought about using Hobgoblin but was a bit overpriced so used a Dr Strange with a jackal head, which was just perfect. Did some inkings and added real chain and silver thread. I took some time to finish it looking for something stamped to do his armour, in the end a cooking mat was perfect. Most complex was getting right the inkings on the face, which is always tricky. Reminds me of a amalgam between Malekith and Hobgoblin lol.

Paradox DC (Flash) Custom Action Figure

Here is Paradox, not the Ben 10 character :) , but a one-issue villain of the Flash. Nevertheless he was a very cool character, time-manipulating villains have always been some of my favourites. I used a Patriot toybiz with wolverine head and dr. strange arms, plus iceman hands. Did his staff out of molten plastic.

Dark Flash (DC Multiverse) Custom Action Figure

Here is the Dark Flash! a cool version of the Flash I was asked to do. To get all the style and power, I chose a captain america ML, as this also allowed him to get in more extreme running poses. I tried painting some effects, to try and get the strange dark effect on his suit.

Captain Boomerang classic (DC Universe) Custom Action Figure

Here is classic Captain Boomerang, a character missed by Mattel all these years. I mean, sure, he is goofy but very iconic at the same time :) . Done mostly with my last Dr Midnite (after having bought two dozens from China many years ago) and other bits.

Just Imagine Flash (Stan Lee creation) (Flash) Custom Action Figure

Yes, Stan Lee did a collaboration with DC; and created this character, as bizarre as that might sound :) . From it came this rather unique version of the Flash, which I have always seen as very striking. This custom was dead complex, basically because I chose to use quite unsuitable base figure :) . Yes, I used a movie Harley Quinn as I had it in hand and she was basically white, so hence I went sanding and re-sanding, and dissolving the original paint application, to avoid having to cover it with endless layers of paint. I must say I am very happy with the result, as at many points I feared the result wouldn't be good enough. I also airbrushed her to avoid paint rub and having a nicer application. Colour strands made out of molten plastic.

Weather Wizard DCUC (DC Universe) Custom Action Figure

 This is Weather Wizard, another character overlooked by manufacturers, at least in 6" scale. I used a Deadman DCUC to make it in good style with the rest of the collection. Most difficult was doing the electric effect. 

 

 

The Folded Man (Flash) Custom Action Figure

Yet another Flash villain, one very special and eye-catching :) . Totally underrated, somebody managing 2d,3d, and even 4d deserves my admiration :) , and a high place among Sci-Fi villains. I went for a rather traditional way, doing somewhat two figures, one in 2d and another in 3d (still rusty on managing 4 dimensions on a custom figure :lol: ). I went searching for the right plastic folder with the exact shade of blue, raising strange looks from shopkeepers as I needed to find the right colour, for it was very unadviceable to paint the blue, considering it would be very bendy. Then I cutted it carefully and painted the 2d with markers, so it was sort of a drawing comic job :) . I liked it so much I did a 2d for my own collection too, which I shall try to post some day ;) . #custom #customfigure #argenta #argenta2008 #dc #flash #barryallen #wallywest #foldedman

Future Flash (DC Universe) Custom Action Figure

 Here is the Future Flash! I believe the first superhero to use that name :) . Quite futuristic, this is the 90s version I believe. I used a ML figure as base, rock python, which works well as he should be quite muscular, yet slim enough to be an speedster. Flashes made out of clear plastic.

Plunder (Flash) Custom Action Figure

 Here is Plunder, another Flash enemy. Sort of hitman/bounty hunter. I used a Deadshot figure as fitted quite well. I used a wrestler jacket sanded down.

Hermes DC (Flash) Custom Action Figure

And here is Hermes, the greek counterpart of Mercury :) . In the Flash comic were Mercury appears, Hermes is depicted nearly identical with just a rounded staff, which is quite lame in my opinion, hence I went for his classic appearance in the Wonder Woman comics, with his trademark winged helmet, and more small in proportions. I used a modern movie Namo with vision head, and vision feet. Again the most difficut part was creating the staff! I realized there was a Promethea figure that had the same staff, but is now crazily hard to find. #custom #customfigure #argenta #argenta2008 #dc #flash #barryallen #wallywest #hermes

Mercury DC (Flash) Custom Action Figure

Here is Mercury, the roman god of speed! he did a curious appearance in the Flash comics, and in that one he is based :) . DC used a bit the roman gods, which is always a interesting concept, while Marvel shunned their existance and just considered a variant name of the same being, Makkari just adding to confusion. Anyway, I chose a wrestler with a similar face, as he should be 7" in comparison with normal humans at 6 inches. Feet from the vision. Most hard part was doing his staff in molten plastic, which took quite some time. #custom #customfigure #argenta #argenta2008 #dc #flash #barryallen #wallywest #mercury #romangods
