So basically I've continued to move forward with all the alterations made to V1. I've added articulation to the elbows, ankles & neck using revoltech joints and parts from the DC Infinite Heroes...[See More]

I first replaced the cape with a larger cut allowing enough cape to come up front and drop from the emblem. Emblem was fastened to the chest armor to stay in place when the head is moved. Now you...[See More]

So I've had this guy in my collection for a while. Had picked a few up as they seemed like a more limited release still. I hated they never came through on the articulation. I took a dc...[See More]

Well. I picked up 2 Yodas last night; 1 for me and 1 for my troubles... Those eyes were more than piercing so at first I figured I'd take a new Xacto and scratch back a layer or so of paint off the...[See More]

I jumped in with sculpted additions to the collar and boots. The lower arms came from Greedo with Han Solo's hands. He's ready to begin his training....[See More]

I took the Slave Leia figure and gave her a makeover. I took 2 whole movies off her age. The entire upper body was sculpted over with super thin layers of Apoxie then texturized them with the fabric...[See More]

I took my original attempt at this and completely reworked it now with the appropriate parts. The only thing that remains from my first attempt is the Darth Maul torso. I replaced the lower torso and...[See More]

So I'd been after getting this one done for a while. First I started with a Glassman Agent Coulson head and started working clay on to alter the nose, hairline and then worked my way down to the...[See More]

I took 2 Greedo bodies and added stormtrooper shoulder armor ala casting in place using hot glue as my medium. Painted the bodies a flat tan and cut circular capes for each. The heads are casts of...[See More]

So I bought the Jabba from an SDCC scalper well ahead of prices coming WAAAYY down... and in the end I did it for the muppet. I figured if I was to own Jabba, I had to own Salacious crum. But I was...[See More]

Basically I jumped in to do my best to get the cape/neck area under control. These figures are so awesome, but I hate when soft goods betray the scale. I love this figure but when he comes out of the...[See More]

So at first I set out only to correct the every yawning Chewbacca and give his face an "at ease" expression. Then i found other areas to improve upon. The mouth was simply sculpted over with Apoxie...[See More]

Quick and dirty; I came home from picking up Superman at Target and gave him a black wash on the boots, belt/briefs and cape. Then I masked off the top half of his head and hands and gave him a few...[See More]

This follows the same recipe as my V1 but this actually takes 2 figures to complete. The color of the shoulder armor is removed from the jacket using lacquer thinner. The left arm is completely...[See More]

This is a pretty basic fix to create the short coat look. The jacket was trimmed using photos for reference. Hands were replaced using spare Han Solo hands. Next step? Fixing that derned...[See More]

So I was dropping into my local comic shop and BOOM!!! An Ultraman figure lay intop of the new arrivals table. I loved this figure. The sculpt was great, the articulation was top notch, the cape had...[See More]

I took a Han Solo upper torso and swapped it to the Bespin Luke lower body. I covered the upper torso in a superthin layer of apoxie and the wrapped it in fabric and smoothed the entire surface with...[See More]

Since this is the big showdown outfit I decided to rough our boy up a bit. The head is a cast copy with detailed sculpting to the hair to give him that sweaty look. I mixed a match to the original...[See More]

I took the arms from a Bespin Luke and swapped them in for Jan's arms, painted the legs a deep brown and then returned to treat the jacket first in black then a deep deep navy blue. Of course my...[See More]

Good lord... It didn't take much to improve this figure being they look like the farmed it out to a student sculptor in the first place. My first move long ago was to add a DKR belt. this only solved...[See More]

I was kinda bummed that the Electro figure we got was clearly not a Jamie Foxx figure. We got 2 headsculpts and neither had any likeness to the man. I rectified this by taking a Randy Orton head and...[See More]

Since these will amongst the peg warmers here in the future I took advantage of the incoming surplus and crossed an entire Obi Wan Kenobi body with some sculpting and texture grafting and pushed out...[See More]

So as I have been experimenting with making bases for unrepresented lines I came across the idea of doing some baases for my 6" Black Series figures. I took a vintage belt buckle with a very clean...[See More]

I found it interesting that they made the Jor-El figure but never decided to make the counterpart Zod figure in his Kryptonian armor from the intro showdown sequence. This figure is made from a...[See More]

I just hated that pop on helmet on the Zod figure. It made him look like a huge Roach or something. Terrible and innaccurate. In the movie, Zod's helmet has much more of a skeletal look, much more...[See More]

I took the upper torso of a Darth Maul as well as the tunic bottom (shortened) and swapped out all the limbs for a Han Solo figure along with an Episode V Luke head. Borrowing an R2-D2 sanber, Luke...[See More]

My Luke Stormtrooper was looking a little lost without ole Han around. I was waiting and waiting to pick up an extra Han Solo and finally did and got right to it. As with the Luke figure I took the...[See More]

An update on old tactics, I took the Sandtrooper, cleaned him up quite a bit and dremmeled the inside of Luke's head so that the helmet could be interchangable as opposed to having the helmet go over...[See More]

Basically as always with any caped DC hero… I just can't stand what they're doing over there at Mattel. The cape with the Robin 2-Pack was even a little weak for my taste. I sought to correct this by...[See More]

Basically a second try at cleaning up a Sandtrooper this time with proper belt attachments. They were pretty simple. i whittled the padded boxes down to a more accurate shape. the plastic underneath...[See More]
