Head: Old TMNT Leo
Body: WWE
Sculpt: Used Aves apoxie sculpt and Epoxy putty for body, hands, feet and knee pads. Shell was a complete sculpt. Don't be afraid to sculpt guys. As customizers, we can create anything we want, that's the beauty of it. Not everyone has access to tons of fodder so if you don't have it or if it needs to have a specific look, use your imagination, have a little patience and you can make anything.
Swords: Scratch built
Flew home for the holidays and my dad found a box with some of my old figures. Saw Leo in there and decided to do a Next Mutation version this time.

"The plains people who hunt the purple buffalo have among them a great warrior. . ."
Another of my favorite childhood characters as a grown up.
Base: Banshee
Head: Nottingham
Horse: Unknown. I found it in a discount store by chance.
Sculpt: Aves for the tunic, pants and details. The skirting was made using pieces of vinyl with a little sculpting details. The horse had that "hair" for the mane and tail. I did away with that and sculpted them instead. It was also brown so I had to repaint the whole thing white and drybrush different shades of gray.
Weapons: Bow and quiver - scratch built with various materials. Arrows - Legolas. Knife - GI Joe slight mod

![[Rufio] Hook
What if Rufio didn't die? But rather, he was brought back to the real world to recover from the wound he suffered from Captain Hook and then returned to Neverland a few years later. I wanted this figure to be an older version which is weird because A)Lost Boys don't grow up and B)he was killed. So it's the only scenario I could think of. Anyway, here he is. I still have the original Rufio and it was my absolute favorite toy growing up.

Blades are made from blister packaging cut to shape. Side sash is from Gen (Street Fighter) and cape is from Superman.
Weapon: Katana is made from scratch.
I was inspired by the Master Shredder done by Speedlee (check it out if you haven't seen it). I loved the idea of a Shredder with highly ornate yet highly functional armor. But I also wanted him to have a menacing look to him. Kanji on his left arm "Foot". Kanji on his right leg "Power" and left leg "Fear". I designed the symbols on his chest as an abstract imprint of the foot (footprints) but in a style that matches the kanji.](userimages/customs/17500/17124-1.jpg) Master Shredder |

It was originally a film released in 1950. I'm an actor as well and this figure is a version of me from a theatre adaptation of Rashomon. Based off of the costume design by Kimberly Schnormeier, an incredible designer. It was a fun production filled with suspense, some humor and several intense fight scenes.

Pimple needed to be taller than the other toads so I raised his body. The problem was I needed an armature connecting his body and legs. Finally I figured I'd use a high-liter mainly because it was wide enough to fit the hole in the body and didn't add major weight to the figure. So if you see the first WIP pic, you'll see he has a rather bright spinal column.
Sculpt: New reference images helped me design the head sculpt. Used Epoxy putty for structure and Apoxie Sculpt for detail. The rest of him was sculpted with Apoxie Sculpt.
