Lion-o + Panthro 2011 Custom Figure repaint bandai figures

At first, I wasn't very thrilled by the Thundercats 2011 cartoon, but later I become hooked with it and sadly missed it after it didn't continue any longer. The 6 inch figures were good, but somewhat "unfinished". Specially the faces, were atrocious. After watching the whole series I could simply not bear to see them like that, hence I repainted them. Last pic is the before.

Rock Commando TMNT vintage cartoon custom figure Teenage mutant ninja turtles

 After much time, I find some spare time to post my custom figures. This is the Rock Commando from Dimension X! based on the rock soldiers that appear on the cartoon late in the series, which are all grey and wear a helmet. I never liked the original General Traag figure, as it didn't look like the cartoon, hence I decided to repaint and make this custom. (all the same, now I kept also General Traag's figure!)

Hope you like it and cowabunga!

Spider-Man Unlimited (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure cartoon

 

I was asked to do this Spider-Man Unlimited custom, to which I was well prepared having watched the series back on it's day and on a good few reruns :) . Not as good as the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon, but still rather iconic. Was asked to use a specific Spider-Man, and then I sculpted some details and repainted. Getting the highlights was the most complex thing! the client said he had back web, so I didn't make him any ;) .

Dusty Hayes (Mask) Custom Action Figure 25th gi joe style Kenner

 Here is Dusty Hayes, one of the members from MASK. Made in GI Joe 25th style over a Cobra commander. Sculpted the helmet, then casted it, so it can go off and on nicely. This is a cartoon version, and tried to do his head as cartoony as possible.

Cobra commander was just the best base figure there is, as the blue colour is just spot on, I didn't have to repaint it.

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.

Casey Jones Neca 2002 style (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Custom Action Figure

 This is a quick repaint of the new Neca figure, to be accurate with the 2002 cartoon. Repainted and redid the black cartoony lines.

 

 

Snowmeow Thundercats Ultimates (Thundercats) Custom Action Figure

After my landmark custom, the rest can keep rolling out! this is Snowmeow, the faithful steed of Snowman, in style of the new Ultimates line. Was asked to do this with a Battle Cat Revelations, which by it's size makes a very good base figure, the cat is simply huge! The challenge here was in thoroughly painting it avoiding paint rub. Being a bright green, covering it with full white, is just about the most nightmaresque thing for a customizer! I was sanding and cutting for ages, and then decided to airbrush it, so the fine layers of paint gripped as well as possible. Used molten plastic and foam for the various details.

Spaceport Officer Droids cartoon Star Wars action figure custom

Spaceport Officer; while taking screenshots to make the Sais Fromm henchman, I saw this guy writing on a side (we'll have to assume that is a ipad he is writing on!) and thought, how random is that guy, and irrelevant to the story, I should make him! for the sake of Star Wars collectability. It looks actually rather cool. I took a son of Indiana Jones, a Duke head, and Mace Windu's boots, and with some epoxy here he is. I attach picture from where I took him, as it's impossible anybody remembers :) . 

Brutemans Thundercats LJN Original Cartoon Custom Action Figure

Was asked to do a Bruteman, and I offered to do casts as well, as a Bruteman alone is something rather poor. The client agreed so I made moulds and did 3 for him, one I posted before and here are the other two.

I plan to do another for my collection now I have the moulds, maybe in a more striking colour.

Bruteman horde!!!!!!

Deathbird Marvel Legends X Men Cartoon version Custom action figure 6@

Here is the custom I did for the Summer Swap of theFwoosh website. I got a large list, and I did what I thought was the most interesting character, regardless it was one of the most complicated ones. I used flexible compound to sculpt the tubing and shoulder pads, so it could be articulated. I hope the recipient is happy with her!
