![[Professor X Green Suit (Savage Land)] As seen in the 90's animated cartoon, I had to make this figure. The base body is a mix and match of parts from Duke and Tripwire, while a cast head provides the "trance" looks for the professor complete with psychic -non removable- blast. The figure also includes a regular head. Thanks for checking!](userimages/customs/50000/49768-1.jpg) Professor X Green Suit (Savage Land) | ![[Superman DKR (Dc Universe Classics/ Masters of the] After seeing the awesome Dark Knight Returns Batman figure, I knew a Superman one had to be made, and what better base to use than a MOTUC! For this Superman I used a Sir Laser lot base figure and cape with modded lower arms, modded Batman crotch, and cast right hand.
The head was a Superman cast with modded curl , while the boots were donated from a Batman figure. I also gave Supes a second head with “Laser vision” to blast his enemies! He is a great addition to any DCUC/MOTUC collection!
Thanks for checking it out, and see you next week!](userimages/customs/50000/49766-1.jpg) Superman DKR (Dc Universe Classics/ Masters of the |
![[He-Man Smiling Head (Based on the IOS Game)] Based in the IOS game I decided to give He-man a "happier" look and came up with this head. The hair was sculpted in animated style so the champion of Eternia can now sport his tradermark smile.

My next custom this week is SHAYERA HOL in her signature yellow track suit as seen in the Justice League Unlimited series. I was lucky to have found a Hawkgirl base among my fodder parts (most of her at least) The feet are from a Silver Banshee figure and the face is a modded cast of the Dc Universe classics wave four Artemis (the variant of Wonder Woman) Instead of painting the lines on her uniform I decided to sculpt them (it wasn’t so difficult as I thought) the only painted ones are on her shoes. I gotta say, Yellow and white are the most complicated colors to apply evenly . Now the love triangle needs only one more member!
Thanks for checking her out!](userimages/customs/50000/49597-1.jpg) Hawkgirl (Shayera Hol Yellow Track Suit) |
![[Age of Apocalypse Magneto] The Age of Apocalypse is one of my fave stories, and Magnus my favorite character, so it was obvious I had to make his AOA version. The body came from a Planet X batman which already has the base colors done right, sculpted head and costume details and weathered cape. It it's successful expect to see more AOA inspired characters!. Thanks for checking it out!](userimages/customs/50000/49502-1.jpg) Age of Apocalypse Magneto | ![[Battle Armor Glimmer (Concept Armor Series)] Hello guys! As announced in my Facebook page, this is the first figure in my “Concept armor series” with fresh takes on your favorite She-ra characters featuring armors designed by yours truly.
The series starts with Glimmer In what I call her “battle armor” The design takes influences from several works of art I have seen at the Org, as well as my own, including the “charm of bright moon” necklace and countless details throughout her armor. The “Rose thorn” staff features an acrylic faceted jewel plus metallic worn paint job to simulate wear and tear.
Thanks for checking her out, and see you next week!](userimages/customs/50000/49501-1.jpg) Battle Armor Glimmer (Concept Armor Series) |
![[Shanna the She-Devil (V 2.0)] After Making Ka-Zar it was obvious that the next figure had to be Shanna! She features an updated sculpt and a different head (In my first version I used an overrated Movie Cover Girl from the G.I.Joe movie) Now the savage land can tremble with the entire set! Now if only I could make a proper Frank Cho version.....](userimages/customs/49500/49386-1.jpg) Shanna the She-Devil (V 2.0) | ![[Vixen (Jlu Style)] Hey guys, this week is back to JLU, so I went for Vixen in her animated style. She was made out of a Cheetah base body, and cast wonder woman head. The most difficult part on this figure was I believe to achieve the right shade of orange for her costume. Then the necklace which had to be sculpted piece by piece. After a quick paint Mary was ready to join the JLU! Just watch your back for Shayera!
Oh and to those who clogged my inbox requesting the Bruce Wayne head to be a stand alone item, well your wishes have been granted! Thanks for checking out my work](userimages/customs/49500/49385-1.jpg) Vixen (Jlu Style) |
![[Agent Coulson V 2.0] Yeah....another agent Coulson custom...sheesh! The fresh take on this one comes from the fact that I included an extra head with non removable goggles and comm-link piece, Shield folder with inner pocket to hold Agent Coulson's Captain America cards which are also included. Oh and a gun..cause Shield agents love their guns. Thanks for checking!](userimages/customs/49500/49365-1.jpg) Agent Coulson V 2.0 | ![[Kratos (Motuc Style God of War)] Hello guys! As is tradition on HKC, this year’s first Motuc crossover figure is KRATOS from the god of war games! He was made out of a Prince Adam base body, cast parts from the Neca figure and retooled head also from another Neca figure (from Gears of War I believe) The Blades of Athena came directly from the Neca Kratos, and the skirt from Vikor. Everything else was sculpted by me.
It features real chains embedded on the wrist and shin guard. The paint was done with different shades of white for the skin and a gold paint on the armor, which was aged afterwards to look combat worn.
The figure was then repackaged. The video features a micro story about the Ghost of Sparta and his skirmish with Skeletor and He-man!

![[Dark Knight Returns Batman (Blue Variant Deco)] Hey guys, this week I opted for a simple custom: Dark Knight returns Batman in blue deco. Really a simple one. The figure was disassembled to work on the joints, then painted with a mix of citadel and model master acryl paints.
I opted to give him some more muscle definition and added some subtle layers of blue and grey to the costume. His soles were given a drybrush of brown to simulate mud, his facial features accented with darker tones, etc.
Once finished it still needed something extra... so I went ahead and gave him an unmasked Bruce Wayne head resculpted as close as possible to what he looked like in the movie. The head is actually a cast of an Ed McGuineess Superman… (of all heads!!) with the chin modded and hair resculpted. Its also compatible with the regular black and grey Batman. Thank you all for checking it out!](userimages/customs/49500/49197-1.jpg) Dark Knight Returns Batman (Blue Variant Deco) | ![[Ka-Zar and Zabu (V 2.0)] While checking my gallery I noticed had to redo some of my old customs. Such is the case with Ka-zar and Zabu. this new version features improved articulation thanks to the Namor body, better hair sculpt (My first version used a hand me down cover girl wig) and sculpted details all over. Zabu is a Schleigh tiger with modded teeth and resculpted hair and tail...Ka-zar is alone though..](userimages/customs/49500/49195-1.jpg) Ka-Zar and Zabu (V 2.0) |
![[Jubilee (Generation X)] The next logical step after making the Jim Lee era Jubilee was the Generation X one. Now that we can find plenty of these lil' gals! She was an easy project, where only her boots had to be sculpted. The rest was paint and shielding/sanding the joints. A much better figure than the old Toy Biz one. Thanks for checking!](userimages/customs/49000/48903-1.jpg) Jubilee (Generation X) | ![[Aquaman (Classics in Jlu Style)] This week I went for a smaller project (unlike last week’s Doomsday!) So it was the turn of the king of the seas: Aquaman in Jlu style.
I aimed for a realistic look on his hair adding depth and multiple highlights to the sculpt. The base figure was made of an Amazo head cast, Major force base body with Aquaman legs. His left hook was created out of a combination of Styrene and apoxie carefully laid out on each side to reinforce the Styrene (see a ton of pics in the video) This time, the figure was completely disassembled to better work on the paint and tooling. (it’s much easier this way!) The head gives the impression of movement however it’s firmly attached to the body (the hair sculpt prevented it) All in all, it was a great project to work on....Namor is sorry now!](userimages/customs/49000/48901-1.jpg) Aquaman (Classics in Jlu Style) |
![[Calendar Girl (Green)] I don't do many JLU/Animated figures as I used to (I began my career doing only this kinds of figures) this was a job I took for a guy in Mexico who is a die hard fan of the animated style. Calendar girl was made out of a Justice lords wonder Woman base figure, Witchblade animated head and sculpted details with aves apoxie. Thanks for checking!](userimages/customs/49000/48768-1.jpg) Calendar Girl (Green) | ![[Ultimate Vulture] A really simple one, since the base body was punisher. The head is a modded cast of a Tarkin figure, wings from Falcon, and resculpted details with Aves. Black is my favorite color, but looks dull sometimes, that is why I gave his wings a 5 stage layered paint job to give it a bit more depth. thanks for checking it out!](userimages/customs/49000/48767-1.jpg) Ultimate Vulture |
![[Scorpia (Classics, Battle Armor/200X Version)] Scorpia was on my “redo” list since day one of this year, however since at some point Mattel will release the official one, I didn’t wanted to go for the “Filmation” look.
Instead I went for an alternate design on her armor with heavy 200X influences and called it “the battle armor” concept. As you can see, she has fur on her boots, an articulated tail (5 points to be exact) that can also rotate a full 360 degrees and heavy detailed skirt and shoulder pads.
The video also shows my early versions of Scorpia from the very first one in 2010 to the second and third in 2011, so you can see how my work evolved in this 5 years of working with figures.
Crossover week approaches….who will join MOTUC???

DOOMSDAY was a project I started back in November of last year. I bought several collect and connect pieces from Validus and Arkillo to make the perfect base for him. I had to sculpt the middle fingers (Take that Lex!) for him since Validus only had 3 they are internally reinforced with a steel wire since my early tests shown that sculpt alone wasn’t durable enough.
The protruding bones are sculpted on top of wires that were drilled onto the figures Shoulders, elbows, knees, etc so they were more durable and sturdy. Now the head is a HEAVILY modified Kalibak face. I only took a print of Kalibak’s noggin and t](userimages/customs/49000/48682-1.jpg) Doomsday (Jlu Style) |
![[Ermac (Hkc's 5 Year Anniversary Reissue)] This Ermac figure is an exact replica of my first Mortal Kombat custom Released in 2008. It was made to commemorate the 5 years I have been in the biz. The parts were cast from the same molds as the figure from 2008, however better paint techniques learned over the past 5 years have been applied. (5 years don't pass in vain hehe) The stand has my signature on the back and has a "5 year anniversary Ermac figure" hand written on the back. The figure also has my logo on the foot.

The base body is a Daredevil from the 2 pack with Bullseye, Cape from Gladiator and sculpted face and hair. His Skull accessory has drilled holes in the bottom so he can hold it with his fingers. Thanks for checking him out.](userimages/customs/49000/48548-1.jpg) Mephisto |
![[Arrow (Bow's Horse)] Hello guys! This week ARROW is my next project. The faithful horse of Bow, needs it’s classics counterpart! He was made out of the Swiftwind horse buck, with filled holes in the wings ,sculpted mask, harnesses etc. The chair was covered in faux leather to avoid paint rub on other figures. The mane was another challenge since its sculpted in a more “roman” like style.Thanks for checking it out!...The Motuc crossover season is approaching!

Last week Livewire was defeated by a bucket of water....A BUCKET!!! So I guess bigger steps need to be taken, hence, I reconstructed BRAINIAC! (Lex will love this)
Brainiac was made out of a DCUC Jemm (truly outrageous base!) with swapped hands and resculpted Brainiac costume elements in the entire figure. For the head I went a bit realistic, making a cast of the DCUC 2 pack Brainiac (horrible representation of him in my opinion) and then retooling the head in the animated style (see pics in the video) One repaint later and the true, only representation of Brainiac (in my canon) lives!
I have heard countless warnings about the hazard that Brainiac poses…. Well, I have a nice Firewall and my Norton is up to date, so guess what? ……Wait…What is this virus I found… WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

![[Jubilee (Jim Lee Style Version 2)] The latest Marvel Universe jubes came in a weird color scheme, I suppose, to match her current looks in the comics, but the most iconic one will ALWAYS be the Jim Lee version. The entire paint app on her face was re-done, added sculpts on her shorts, and chest emblem, I also gave her a stand and a proper fireworks effect with multi-colored blasts. Since many fans have requested it, from now on my figures will come stamped with the HKC logo on the foot...Go figure...Thanks for checking it out!](userimages/customs/48500/48371-1.jpg) Jubilee (Jim Lee Style Version 2) | ![[Black Cat (Terry Dodson Style)] Aaah..Felicia Hardy, how we need a proper figure of you in the Legends line. Black cat was made out of a Mystique figure, cast head and sculpted hair. The base body is perfect and needs almost no extra additions. I tried to give her a realistic paint job on her face. Thanks for checking her out!](userimages/customs/48500/48370-1.jpg) Black Cat (Terry Dodson Style) |
![[Livewire (Superman Animated Style)] “For internal review only”
Since Metallo was not successful in defeating Superman last week, we have found Leslie Willis, AKA LIVEWIRE!
She was made out of the traditional DCUC Female base body and sculpted cuffs. Her head is a partial cast of the DCUC Jaina with resculpted hair (the most difficult part of the entire figure) She was also given an interchangeable “lightning bolt” hand.
The hatred that Leslie feels for Superman is just bigger than anything, she will stop at nothing to accomplish the utter destruction of the man of steel…I truly hope so…Lex is getting impatient!

My next custom is a popular request I received in my Facebook page: Bow in his Filmation attire. Really a simple one, since the most difficult part was to modify the boots to make them cartoon accurate. It’s basically the Bow base with He-man upper boots. They had to be shaved so the traditional Bow boots could be sculpted. His stock bracelets were also shaved, muscles resculpted and Filmation bracelets sculpted in place. The upper armor was resculpted as seen in the cartoon. I kept the quiver cause it just looks better. His accessories were enhanced with an added flexible string on his bow that allows it to shoot arrows, including the “flaming arrow” included.

Every hole, scratch, scuff took a while to detail. It also includes a "Tony Stark" alternate head with the looks of Robert Downey Jr. compatible also with your regular non damaged iron man figure.

![[Metallo (Animated Style)] “For internal review only”
Many of you are aware that I don’t like Superman. That is why HKC has partnered with Lexcorp enterprises to release several villains that never made it to the Dcuc style.
My first character is METALLO, as seen in the Superman animated show and the JLU cartoon. He was basically made out of a Cyborg Superman, sculpted shreds of clothing, resculpted legs and arm (to make it look like he is wearing clothes) The head is half a cast of the new Marvel Legends Ghost rider from 2012 then seamlessly integrated with half a head from a Shazam figure, plus the left foot of a Dc universe figure that I had in the parts box. METALLO is now ready to beat the living tar out of the boy scout in blue…and he better succeed or Lex and I will be VERY pissed!

My next custom is a brand new character for 2013: GLADYA She is the daughter of the evil master of swords: Blade! As expected her outfit is inspired by her dad’s with several new additions like a ponytail and a Chainmail “tank top”
I received a lot of questions about her chainmail: It was made by cutting the apoxie in tiny dots of equal size and then applied one by one, in a row, following the contour of her breasts. It was a time consuming task inspired by the awesome work by Karen Palinko done in the Mera action figure from Dc Direct.
I chose the name “Gladya” cause she carries 2 gladius swords, and she is bald cause it’s a way to pay homage to her dad, however she left a long ponytail as a way of thanking the man who completed her training: The new lord of snake mountain: JITSU!
The bio was written by me (I know, I suck at this) however, Her real name was given thanks to a combination of names that many fans submitted on my](userimages/customs/48500/48168-1.jpg) Gladya (Daughter of Blade) |
