I made this custom even before the design of the character was fully shown, I made it from the promotional pic where only half of his body could be seen, so I designed the rest myself basing on the constellation and the armour of the previous Orion Saint (that appeared in a OVA).
In this occasion, all armour except the leg protection was sculpted. The head was casted from Afrodita Piscis. The body and hands are from Shiryu Dragon.

He's found it now, and his next step is to enter Castle Grayskull so he can decipher the forbidden spells in the book!
This is a character created by myself many years ago, when I didn't have customizing knowledge, and now I have given him a good representation in action figure form.

![[Ramenman Kinnikuman] Here is Ramenman, one of the basic characters of Kinnikuman series (on which the MUSCLE figurines were based). I recently discovered that besides the Romando figures existed a 6 inch line for the Kinnikuman Nisei line, so I searched for them and bought Kevin Mask and Ramen Man.
The bad (or good) thing; they needed some work on them. The original figures had unpainted knees and elbows (why on earth was that done I don't know), had a too thick moustache and small flat feet. Besides that, it was the manga version, and I wanted the anime one (only difference being green jacket and sandals). Oh, and the original figure had a too pale flesh tone, so I corrected that too.

I (of course) wanted to do something special for such a landmark in a customizer's career, and it took a long time for me to decide what could be that something so special. The opportunity appeared as a chroming powder I bought months ago and arrived just in time. Now I was sure; it would be a chromey custom that will be ultra-durable and ultra-poseable!
After -again- looking at various characters, I decided for Metal Cooler (bad luck for Silver Sable), the movie villain of Dragon Ball Z and brother of Freezer. The base figure was Toyman DCUC (I think, there wasn't much left of him when I started) as it is slimer than a regular DCUC (which is my standard for normal superhero-villain). The hands were took from a Myth Cloth figure. One of the important parts of the custom (and surely, the most difficult) was making a tail.

It striked me the many similarities with the character of the same name, of Kinnikuman/MUSCLE, which I also did a custom some time ago. Same name, same power (both absorb people and things into their torso hole, although the Kinnikuman one has also a hole in his head) just the colours change. I wonder who copied who, or if it is just a coincidence.

The legends tells us how he confronted his brother (Silverman, god of peace) to see who was strongest, if he, the God of Battle who was gifted with the perfect attack, or the god of Peace, who was gifted with the perfect defense. After a seemingly eternal battle, the gods decided to give each one a sword, and they ended up in draw cutting simultaneously the head of each other, which became the Gold and Silver Masks, sacred relics of the Kinniku Tribe.
This is the story that is told between two episodes of Kinnikuman. I have added two pics as they can't be found by internet. Goldman ended up being a deal with the demon and returning as Akuma Shogun, who is the main enemy of Kinnikuman in a whole saga.

I discovered this character playing the PSP game Kinnikuman Generations, the first one I played with to get the catch on the game. Afterwards it became a favourite character. I discovered what was his name (the game is in japanese) and decided to customize it in all it's glory (it is painted like in the game, that I suppose is the manga version, as it differs from what I have seen in the cartoon by youtube). (the character is really a monster in disguise, hence the name "Lord of Darkness")
