![[Crossbones] Havent done customizing in a long time...say 4 years!!!??? Anyways I came back to it out of desperation to get a figure i dont want to spend much money on. I was wanting an ML Crossbones, dont want to buy so created mine using the best base for it in my opinion... Hulkling! Bought the head cast from a trade group so that problem was solved easily. Could not find a vest for thim so I got some gear pockets from various figure fodders, tried to copy the placements of those pockets from the original Crossbones as much as i can then sculpted the vest around it. I do have to for go the torso articulation. Hope i did fine on this custom, what do you think guys?](userimages/customs/50000/49632-1.jpg) Crossbones Marvel Legendsby NiallskieHavent done customizing in a long time...say 4 years!!!???

I always loved the jin's casual costume for the new instalment of tekken. . . And had to make one for myself. I have been saving this indy figure a got from the thrift store for a friend who collects them. But could not resist to use if coz of the sleeves and the pants, with the polo shirt he has! So sorry alvin, i just have to use your indy fig. . . This figure lacks articulation so i have to give it some for the possing i have to have when it comes to jin. Gave it some biceps articulationas well as upper leg articulation. Changed the head with sf remy's head. . . Had to take off his cool hair then scupt jin's famous hair style. Used some sf fist that fits perfectly with the base figure then used a mcfarlane's neo's coat as it gives the perfect wind flow just like the picture of jin i inserted.

![[Kazuya Mishima] Just got this NECA Street Fighter Ryu and Ken from the store, took of their top gi like the once on the box figures. They do look good as the sculpting was awesome, then I saw Ken's smirk and it reminded me of how Kazuya smiled when he tossed Heihachi to the Jack 5's... anyone who likes Tekken knows what I am talking about. Then I looked at the body and said heck this is a great match for a Kazuya custom. At first I was hesitant as this was a new figure but I saw the plus factor in doing this so I went on with it. I first took off Ken's hair and straight up sculpted the hair. Next was I dremmeled the scar on his face then had a hard look on both PS2 and PSP on where are his scars located then painted it on his body. The hardest part of this custom is actually the flame design on his pants, used my PSP to draft it on paper then onto his pants. Used gold paint and violet. Stripped off the belt from Ken's gi and used the rubber thingy for the belt that goes around his waist. DONE!!!

First off I really wanted to do a Dimitri but could not decide on a base figure, good thing I saw this drawing of him and reminded me of Legendary Superhero Savage Dragon. Dug into my toy bin and sure enough I found me that Dragon. I then used a Batman figure (don't know what kind...LOL) as I like how he stands. Broke each toy apart and combined them. Sculpted the wrist sleeve's as well as the white tie like thingy. Used a LOTR cape I got on my fodder drawer, sculpted the hair then painted him to his corresponding color scheme. It's not perfect but I think he looks alright... so I will be waiting for them comments and rants alright.](userimages/customs/13000/12683-1.jpg) Dimitri Darkstalkersby NiallskieStayed off customizing for a good month or a month and a half, but got my groove back and decided to do my Video Arcade customs.

![[Kaneda (Akira) Version 2] I won another set of Kaneda with the Akira bike with him and was planning to do a head swap as I have planned. Then my wife said that why should I swap the head... he liked the head that I sculpted coz it was original, hmmmmm... she has a point there. So what I did is just stripped the other Kaneda of his utilities and made it my custom Kaneda's own. So transfering the power pack was easy but getting the lazer gun was a hassle. I tried my best to cut it off the jacket but to no avail. I resorted to using the foamy thingy with the same brown color, flattened it and painted it into a darker brown. Super glued it to the strap of the lazer and there it goes. Now it can hang on his left shoulder. Simple and sweet if I say so myself. I'm pretty sure this is the final version except.... yes except if I get a hold of a spare Kaneda head, and maybe I will have a ready made head for swapping. Other than that, thanks for looking and feel free to comment or rant.](userimages/customs/12000/11900-1.jpg) Kaneda (Akira) Version 2 Animeby NiallskieI won another set of Kaneda with the Akira bike with him and was planning to do a head swap as I have planned.

When I was trying to lean Batman, it snapped in two... cheap crummy toys!!! I was thinking of just putting super glue just to fix it but eventually ended up doing it the hard way but the right way. I just cleaned the whole were the peg goes, use a screw. I was able to put him back and retain the articulation. Now the next problem... when I put Batman on the bike he was looking down!!! There was no articulation or very minimal to have him look forward when his riding the bike. So I did a simple fix, popped the head out... dremmeled the hole and made a canal at through the back of the head. It's unnoticable when he is standing up and sure looks better when he is riding his Batpod. I know... such a simple customize but what the hey...thanks for looking.](userimages/customs/12000/11899-1.jpg) Batman (Neck Fix) Batmanby NiallskieI was able to purchase a Batpod for a cheap price but have no movie Batman, so I rushed to buy one and was excited to match the two up.

I told her that I still haven't found a good base figure for her charcter which I also made. Then I saw Ivorygleams Mighty Muggs gift for his parents and that gave me the idea to do this. So credit to Ivorygleam for his work and giving me an idea. What I did on this is a basic repaint, used the foamy thingy for skirt. I wanted to give it something of a personal touch so I used the foamy thingy for the hair and put it like a puzzle... little pieces at a time, and I guess it turned out nicely. Use a paint sealant and then glossed it up coz the sealant makes the paint look really dry. Here it is...hope you guy liked it as much as how my daughter loved it.

OK story is I won this a Kaneda with his bike (Akira Anime) and it was awesome, I also wanted to win a Kaneda that sits on the bike but that eludes me somehow. Then I was looking at some ML figs. and I noticed ML Punisher almost have the same boots as Kaneda's... there is where it all started. Dremmeled Punisher's belt, jean's pockets then sculpted the boots first. Moved on to the jacket, at first I was looking to find some open jacket I could use but decided to sculpt the whole thing but kept it close to make it easy for me. Sculpted the sleeves as well then dremmeled the left gloves to match it with Kaneda's gloves. At first I was thinking of using Kaneda's head... then keep Punisher's head, but in a trial basis tried my hand on sculpting the head from scratch. I scupted the head then when it dried I added the hair. Then I dropped the head and broke the hair... I had to redo it again, I hated that.

I won this figure from an auction site along with the Wolverine with no hands and some other figure that were broken. This one was customized by the seller and turned him into Cyclops... and since I have a couple of Cyke already and no Cap yet, I decided to repaint him and turn him back to Captain America. Too bad there was no Cap shield with the auction, and I just can't find my Cap shield that I found in the Thrift store a couple of years back.

![[Yoshimitsu] A lot of work put into this, I do hope it worked out right. Used an ML Quicksilver as base, arms and legs from Legendary Heroes Star. A bunch of different fodder parts to make up the armor on this one. Face is from Mandarin Spawn knee pads, used Wolverines claws for the head spikes. Some Gundam armor for the shoulder pads, front and back skirt armor and back contraption. Used a Xevoz's Razorclaw for gauntlet and sword, then Alpha Ranger's armor for shin guards. Took a pre-Marvel Legend Apocalypse armor and used it for back legs armor and lastly a McFarlane Nitro Riders (I think...) for the feet guards... whew!!!! I guess that wraps it up for the parts used. At first I had a hard time for the color scheme as this was my own version of Yoshimitsu. Colored his body red at first but changed my mind and colored it black instead...

Scupted the beard and mustache as well as the flat top and eyebrow. Next step was to dremmel down his pants then his shirt off, then scupted the scars across his arms and legs.

Simple custom though, just cut off the jacket which is too long for the character, used these foam thingy for some design in his jacket... then used some for the the sleeves of his inner shirt.
