Figure Inque
It starts with the smooth oozing drip of a brush, paint gliding over slick sculpted flesh, morphing raw plastic into eclectic works of art. Customizing; It is an obsession. It engulfs us like a polychromatic shroud, a silent partner, our hands its only outlet. It has a story, and it must be told.

This is Figure Inque.

For over a decade Figure Realm has been amassing custom submissions from all around the world. While I'd love to dedicate a page to each one speculating on everything from the parts used to the composition of the super glue, a much more sane solution is to focus weekly on a handful of customs that grab my eyeballs and won't let go until I cry out the praise they deserve. More than that, I'll focus on works that contribute something to this hobby, that remind us of exactly why we started customizing in the first place and inspire us to continue. New ideas for parts usage, clever painting techniques, if I see you turn water bottles into a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier you are totally in!

Every Thursday a recent batch of customs will be featured here, covering what I admire about them and even including commentary and tips from the creators themselves when possible.

Catwoman (Total Justice) created by Dollyd81 on February 10, 2018
Dollyd81 has been pumping out superhero customs for almost 2 years now with consistent quality. They started strong and never let up, producing vintage figures that would most likely have seen official releases had the articulation craze not taken over the action figure community. (Can we call '90s figures "vintage" yet?)...[See More]

Blade (Marvel Legends) created by PROFESSOR FREAKAZOID on December 24, 2017
Punisher, Ghost Rider, Blade, these kind of guys are the Green Lanterns of customizing in that you can mash together a bunch of "tactical" body parts, paint them black and usually get a really cool version of them. Of course, there's nothing like giving them a big ass spike-launcher to put them over the top!...[See More]
