No updates on anything. Holy_Ghostbuster had some problems happen but I should be receiving the finished thunderbolts soon and he'll start on the rest when he gets a chance again. Calbretto is going to be starting on the WATX kids soon. I recently moved and am living with family until I get my own place so no room for collection or displays so they're boxed up. Should hopefully have it up before Christmas or right after. I can only do very little shots when anything new comes.

I don't really customize, I just commission. I only do pre-sculpt work.

Got those finished pictures of Quentin Quire & Broo:

Yeah, I can't wait for Voz to be finished. Oh, Kenji is a character from Generation Hope, Hope Summer's book. Good guy who becomes bad.

Got another update from Calbretto on nearly finished Quentin & Broo: Info: -Quentin & Broo are nearly done, most of the painting is done. He may have a few touch ups here or there, but they're almost done. -QQ's shirt will say "Wake me when the humans are dead" like in the picture I sent him. -He'll also have to make a couple of buttons for his jacket. One will say "Bite Me" and the other two are an exclamation point, and 4 leaf clover. -He needs to clean up the paint around Broo's mouth and eyes a bit, but other than that he's really happy with him. He'll will glue in the teeth tomorrow when he makes his glasses.

Got another update from Calbretto on Broo & Quentin Quire, almost there. Here's what he said:

Yeah, white is a pain. Luckily for him, he only needed to paint the body white thanks to the fantomex coat. The coat is removable to. Angel & Magik came today, ben truwe sent back the bodies for Cloak & Dagger "Dark X-Men" since he doesn't have time anymore so I'll be looking to get those done by someone else. So it looks like I'm only having work done by dustin (when he has time), calbretto (x-kids), Holy_Ghostbuster (thunderbolts update soon), zombie13 (aoa when he gets time again), TFMANIAC (aoa when he has time to finish the last 9). I'm going to be moving next month so I won't have any shelve updates for a couple months. Also got a update from etahsuplee on "GL" Voz:

These came today, Frenzy & Fantomex from IBBM-T, and Kenji & Idie from Jorden of ebay/fwoosh commissioned from whiskeytango & Discogod.

Got a tiny update from ethansuplee:

I checked Discogod's thread over at fwoosh and he had modified her and added these changes: Reference:

This is what Discogod wrote:

Reference: This is what he wrote: He was also getting rid of a Idie Okonkwo that Discogod made so I picked her up to:

Lucked out and got a Kenji "Generation Hope" on ebay for $35 shipped. It was made by whiskeytango and the buyer was getting rid of stuff. Kenji:

Man, that's gotta be the best comment/reply someone who collects could get. Thanks, really. There may have been times where I stopped collecting figures but haven't thought once to stop collecting customs, I may slow down at times but it's always great when I get to add a new custom to my shelves.

Got another update from calbretto on my Broo & Quentin Quire:

Got a update on "GL" Voz from ethansuplee:

FUGAYZIE, yeah, I gotta agree with you. Levit does the best part-swapping (frankensteining) out there that I've seen and gotten to have. It's sometime that I really like doing as well, so I tend to do it when I can and it helps keep costs down a bit. Tigger, while I kind of agree it's not a big deal since he's a stock short guy and his proportions would be uneven. I rather not take out any at the thigh swivel so I don't risk ruining the joint. Going part by part, its fine. There's the hips, the thigh that should be longer than the shins (knee to bottom of the blue part), then theres the boots. I'm not one to stick to only ML bodies and I didn't want them in usual shield/elektra body so I chose to follow lesternessman's recipe of his psylocke for my Storm and X-force Psylocke. I figured her hair would work nicely with the head and I lucked out that it fits the powergirl head.

Nope, She-Hulks are a bigger body.

Got another update from calbretto on Quentin Quire.

Thats not going to happen, they're going to continue to use the elektra body even when the moonstone body comes out. Plus the moonstone body is going to be to curvy for certain characters anyway.

That was kind of the point since the originally release is a tad to tall, wanted especially with the combat boots. I might try and take some out of the thighs but not sure, I like the shorter shins. It looks fine with the other shorten/dremeled boots. I think you mean Deathlok, not deadpool. Yeah, I had a pic of them since I plan on sending them to lesternessman when he has time.

Finished modding my wave 1 (2013) Wolverine for a Astonishing X-Men version with swappable boots for a WATX look with the combat boots. Reference:

Oh yeah, I think levit05 used a ripclaw head for his x-force wolverine a few years back. Yup, it's not wild enough for him. Still got a few more things to add like the gauntlets that go on his forearms and still looking for shoulderpads that look more like the ones he wears. some side views: I couldn't find my old paints so I'll check my boxes tomorrow so I can test the limbs out to see how they'll look.

Ah, too bad it was really nice. I can't wait for zombie13 to start again and finish those aoa customs for me. Looks like I won't need him to make me a modern aoa jean now. Maybe a punisher head with the beast hair transplanted.

Yeah, its a easier trick than sculpting. I'll see if I have some old black/silver paint that I can test out and take a picture before I send it off with the others. Thanks, glad you think the base for Cable looks good, it took a couple tries to find the right parts since I wanted something more imposing and accurate plus looked good with the others. Yeah, the head sculpt is a nice one. I got lucky with no wrong parts, but one had the loose shin. I fixed that by taking out the calve/shins by boiling them then squeezed the peg so it would be tighter once I inserted it back together. Cool, thats a nice idea for AOA Gladiator. It's a such a better body now that legs are new and the arms to. I forgot but did you ever get buy that weapon x head cast that ibmm-t made from a zombie13 head he put together for me. That would be perfect if you did, if not I don't think ibmm-t kept the mold. I'm planning on shortening the x-force wolverine for a uncanny x-men #500 look, thats why I dremelled the gloves and boots. All the wolverine's are like that on the wave 1 releases, there's no shading on the insider of the thighs or at all on the shins or the back of the trunks. Just like the silver on the sides of the legs are badly painted. I've seen it on a ton of other's pictures to.
