Marvel & Transformers Customs

[Opticon]

30"? Holy cow....I have one of those 30" superman returns figures, that thing will be impressive when its done.

The head sculpt is looking good so far.

[RickCoronel]

Yeah, I'm still in denial. I can't believe he agreed to it. Sexyvonpoopy is great guy so it's even cooler. Anti-Monitor won't be free like Groot, but I love the price he gave. I'll get him a present to make up for it.

 

Glad you're liking the head so far.

I got banned for not giving them my customizer's emails and info so they could contact them to join to POA to post their customs.

 

Back then and now, most of them don't have time to join other sites to just their work or just don't to join other sites to post.

 

In the end, I lost some respect for poa. Tons of pages of my commissions lost.

That sucks! Talked to Terry, he did'nt know it happened 'til jevian told him.

Bring that #$## to the Doosh bro!

[RickCoronel]

It does suck but I want don't spread that over the net. It happened and I'm moved on. Only time I've ever been banned in my 13 years online.

 

I haven't heard of the Doosh.

 

But on back topic,

 

I order some things from the Horsemen store.

 

RAMATHORR THE ELEPHANT for $7.50

 

QUEEN ALLUXANDRA/ISADORRA 2-pack for $17.50

 

 

Elephant guy is for Brother Warth "Blue Lantern", and the girls will be for some lantern customs.

 

 

Base for Brother Warth:

Girls for Lantern girls:

I just placed an order for the girls and instead of the guy you got I went with MACE OF BROGGAH - I think he's closer in physical appearance to Brother Warth which makes life easier on me since I'm not an advanced customizer like the guys you hire.

 

Thanks for the tip! These look like great figures.

 

I think I might use the evil looking chick for a Hela:

[RickCoronel]

Ah crud, I didn't see that elephant. It's cheap enough, when I get a chance I'll buy that elephant and save the one I got for someone else.

 

 

Hela, good choice. I actually want to use a thicker body for her. More depicted like in the current Thor.

[Opticon]

Hey rick, if you havent already ordered that mace of broggah, would you consider ordering an extra for me? I was gonna order him and the timekeepers since they were 50% off, but the shipping comes out to $30 something, so the whole order is like $55 :S

If not thats cool too, just figured it was worth a shot to ask

[RickCoronel]

I haven't ordered, was going to wait until school check gets here then I could order him or unless I sold some figures this week/weekend.

[Cmdr_Y]

After seeing the customs you've had made, they could probably make a kicka$$ Warth out of that isadora figure.

[RickCoronel]

Thanks, I thinking that too. I could just save money and let them do the amazing work they can usually kick out.

 

 

I'll just keep the elephant I bought for Warth, I'm sure the Ibentmyman-thing could work him into Warth.

[RickCoronel]

Need some more feedback, what do you guys think of these hands for Arkillo. Thanks again to phineas curmudgeon for supplying them to me.

 

 

The wrist bands will be sculpted to match the other corps members. Didn't snap in the Brimstone waist because it was missing the connector piece, so I bought another one and will wait for it.

 

 

 

I was going to have some artic added at the thighs but the thighs are hollow plastic so I'll just have artic added at the boots.

 

 

Also I put these parts together for a Stanch, and Snap Trap:

 

 

And I shorten Braach by using Omega Red's boots. For Bur'Gunza, I'm not sure on hands but I'm gonna add the Beast feet.

 

[RickCoronel]

Reference for Snap Trap:

 

 

Reference for Stanch:

 

 

Info:

I'm wondering if I should get longer arms for Stanch or just have them lengthen.

[Cmdr_Y]

You realize that I'm swiping all these Sinestro Corps Reference shots for own customs.

 

Since you're just starting your journey down the DC figures path, here's a link to the DC entries on my toy blog:

Your stable of talent does a much better job than me, but perhaps you'll get some ideas. I'm pretty much into the Green Lantern mythos these days. I have a few more done that I need to post - perhaps this week I'll get them up.

 

Arkillo - go with the green monster hands IMO - more in line with the nature of the character.

 

What's the method for swapping out parts at the joint like you've got for that Snap Trap in-progress guy? Are you boiling and popping?

[RickCoronel]

You can give me credit when you get to making yours. @smilepunch@ jk

 

Thanks, I'll listen to your feedback as you got knowledge of green lantern and characters to.

 

I'll be bookmarking your blog.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna go with the monster hands, they work but just need the wrist bands sculpted to even out more.

 

I just use a screw driver and pop them out, if that doesn't work then I do the boil and pop. I've been part-swapping since early 90's, use to make wrestling customs back then but stopped in 98'.

Still need 2 left legs for Despero. Anyone have one or two to spare. It comes with Ares.

[Dark_Phoenix]

The hands would work perfectly for Arkillo. What are they from?

[RickCoronel]

From this figure:

 

 

Got the hands for free.

[RickCoronel]

Time for a Dustin update and a ApathyInk update.

 

 

First up is from dustin,

 

Sentry & Venom "Spider-Man":

 

 

 

 

Info for Sentry:

-Sentry will look a lot more interesting with some heads.

-He thinks Forge's angry head with Shanna's hair could work for his Void head.

-He'll sand off the mustache and see how it looks.

-He's going to do the belt in leather with a kneadatite S so he can retain his waist movement.

-The cape will be leather too.

 

 

Info for Venom:

-Iron Fist took a ton of sanding, and he swapped his big feet for Spider-Man feet.

-He's a good base figure with the shoulders narrowed.

-Venom's got the unmasked head from Havok, the masked one is from a Spawn and the Venom one is original.

-He figured sculpting the white parts would set him apart from other Venoms in this scale.

 

 

Other info:

-He's got Radioactive Man disassembled and found a bunch of belt pouches for him, as well as a hose from Bane.

-Once he sculpts over the boots, he'll be ready for a fresh coat of paint.

 

He realized he's got a clear Metal Gear staction that might have some handy parts for Ghost when we get to him.

Shark update from ApathyInk.

guys, i cant wait to see some lantern action around here. great working.

[RickCoronel]

Be prepared to finally see some new Collection pictures in my old cabinets but painted black. They barely fit so I need to buy a third one like before.

 

-Rick

[RickCoronel]

 

Finally it's time for a update of my collection. No more using boxes to display them on. I got back my dual-cabinets with some damage after the person bought a bigger one for themselves. I repainted it black and patch up some holes. The other cabinet is refurbished and is smaller than the one it replaced.

 

Collection is smaller than what it would've been, I sold off 5 kree, 5 skrulls, 5 ninjas, 5 agents, and about 15 other ML's as well as sent some DCUC & C&C's for marvel customs a few months back.

 

 

Onto pictures,
