![[Cyborg Superman (Man of Steel Style)] Hi guys! My next custom is again based in the Man of Steel movie masters line with CYBORG SUPERMAN.
This figure was made using a cast of the regular Cyborg figure and a partial cast of the Henry Cavill Superman seamlessly integrated to one another. The rest was sculpture and a left foot I had from my Metallo figure.
After a small paint job, Cyborg Superman is ready to destroy Metropolis!!
Thanks for checking it out.
More Man of Steel figures to come!](userimages/customs/51000/50866-1.jpg) Cyborg Superman (Man of Steel Style) | ![[Slop Chop (the Horde Executioner)] Hello guys! Up next is another character originally created by HKC (that’s me): Slop-Chop! He is the Horde Executioner who takes care of Hordak’s prisoners deep in the dungeons of the Fright Zone.
Since I suck at naming Motu characters I asked for a little help on my Facebook page, and the huge pool of ideas was overwhelming. In the end, my friend Joe Martin won. Thanks a bunch for the help!
The figure features real chains in the neck and back.
The huge Horde crest has been detailed to look like aged bronze and the pauldron has multiple skulls also detailed to look dirty and worn. The head was sculpted from scratch, and the goggles kindly donated from a Mr. Freeze figure from DC Direct. Now The horde has a new member to torture the great rebellion!](userimages/customs/51000/50864-1.jpg) Slop Chop (the Horde Executioner) |
![[Karnak] I had a spare Spectre figure in my parts box for ages and never knew what to do with it, until I saw the Universe version so after a few tweaks and resculpts, KARNAK! the brother of Black Bolt and member of the inhumans is ready to join your collection!](userimages/customs/51000/50688-1.jpg) Karnak | ![[Future Superman (Man of Steel Concept Series)] Hey guys! After a small one week break (Birthdays happen) I’m back with a new custom this week: Movie masters Future Superman!
The Man of Steel frenzy is catching up and I have some figures planned inspired by the movie (Don’t worry , my regular JLU –DCUC line will continue , it’s just making way for the man of steel)
This figure features the suit seen in the Batman Beyond episode “The call” adapted to the “Man of Steel “ style visual style from the movie, (hence the broken shoulder sculpt) complete with Kryptonian glyphs and countless sculpts on the shoulder pads.
The head is a cast of Henry Cavill’s detailed to look aged with the gray temples he was seen with on the show.
I had to read on a ton of Superman lore, in a very short time to properly get a grasp of the character’s myth, it’s history, several incarnations, and find myself really looking forward to the movie.
More MOS figures to come!!](userimages/customs/51000/50687-1.jpg) Future Superman (Man of Steel Concept Series) |
![[Silver Sable (V 2.0)] The sexy leader of the Wild Pack was always a favorite of mine, so I had to do her justice in this new version ( I made another a while ago) She is your basic Female Marvel Universe base body with sculpted boots, thigh pads, arm pads etc The chai were sculpted one by one instead of being just carved (as in my first version) one silver metallic paint job later, and she is now ready to hunt those war criminals!](userimages/customs/51000/50568-1.jpg) Silver Sable (V 2.0) | ![[Light Spinner (Shadow Weaver Origins)] This is probably one obscure alternate identity character, but this is who SHADOW WEAVER used to look like before Hordak transformed her. Her design is somewhat conflictive since in the cartoon she was drawn differently than in the comics so, I had to mix the best of each incarnation to bring the definitive Light Spinner version.
Her body is made out of a cast of the lower skirt of Shadow Weaver (Hey, I'm not that crazy to chop a factory one!) and a cast of Battleground Teela's upper torso. The arms were kindly donated from a Tallstar figure the rest is castings and resculptings.(More pics on the video)
As you can see she includes both a UK inspired head and a Filmation style one. Also, a "light" attachment so you can recreate the scenes in the comic.
Thanks for checking her out!](userimages/customs/51000/50567-1.jpg) Light Spinner (Shadow Weaver Origins) |
![[John Stewart Green Lantern V 2.0 (JLU Style)] My second version of John Stewart features a sculpted Green Lantern symbol, green eyes and a green blast removable attachment that you can use to pose John in all sorts of villain blasting poses (as Karu-Sil can attest) Thanks for checking it out!](userimages/customs/50500/50188-1.jpg) John Stewart Green Lantern V 2.0 (JLU Style) | ![[Shanna the She-Devil V 3.0] After the version 2 was revealed I got tons of requests to release another Shanna. This time I went a bit more Frank Cho on her design complete with leopard printed bikini and rusted weapon wrapped in bandages, and there you go. My last version of Shanna!. Thanks for checking her out](userimages/customs/50500/50187-1.jpg) Shanna the She-Devil V 3.0 |
![[Heroic Age Iron Man (Improved Repaint)] It's unbelievable to see what the toy industry does nowadays ...This figure has a nice design but came cast in a sort of Jolly Rancher kind of plastic that looks everything BUT metallic. So here I took the approach I used to do on cars when painting candy metallics. Applied one coat of silver metallic, then 2 more wet coats of clear red. The result INSTANT improvement! Then I detailed every arc reactor light, gave it some definition on the crevices, small scratches in the feet, chest and hands and voila...a decent Iron Man that has as much detail as his Marvel Universe counterpart.
Thanks for checking!](userimages/customs/50500/50128-1.jpg) Heroic Age Iron Man (Improved Repaint) | ![[Teela (Dc Comics Contemporary Style)] Hello guys! Up next is another contemporary comic book inspired character with the controversial new take on TEELA , as seen in the new comic by Dc.
She is made entirely out of battleground Teela, with cast face, re-sculpted bangs , fur, chest armor, and tiered chain-mail sash. The paint job was done in a way that resembles worn copper. Her weapons were given a dark wash to simulate dirt and wear, and also gave her a removable blast attachment.
Additionally she includes a Filmation style Teela head compatible with your other Teela figures.
You are either going to love her or hate her, as she has been the most controversial character in the entire comic.
Thanks for checking her out my brotherhood!](userimages/customs/50500/50127-1.jpg) Teela (Dc Comics Contemporary Style) |
![[Classic Wasp] Inspired by the Bowen statue, I had to make a version of Janet. Its quite simple really. just took a mystique base body, painted the white parts and gave her wings that are cutouts from a blister card. Wasp couldn't be easier!](userimages/customs/50500/50003-1.jpg) Classic Wasp | ![[Improved Ultron] Well what can I say, the Hasbro version looked too "vanilla" for my taste. So after giving it a black wash, some rust, highlights, a comic book accurate paint job in the mouth and some extra hoses on his arms, Ultron was ready to conquer the universe! Submit or perish!](userimages/customs/50500/50002-1.jpg) Improved Ultron |
![[Horde Trooper Commander V4 (Concept Armor Series)] Concept armor series continues with another re-design: The Horde Trooper!
The figure is made out of the torso, arms, and feet of the newly released Iron Monger from Hasbro, (which make it much more unique) with resculpted head,added Horde Symbol, and heavily influenced by the comic book come the symbols on his forearms and the gold circles on top of the shoulder pads.
The paint job had to be unique since these guys see a lot of combat, hence I gave it a combat worn look on the armor detailed with oil drips, mud on his feet and rusty panels from the many worlds conquered!
I think this to me is the perfect Horde Trooper. The vents on his back, the feet, the build, make it the perfect intergalactic bully. Unfortunately making several of these would cost a fortune since most of the Iron Man figures have to be bought.
Thanks for checking it out!](userimages/customs/50000/49927-1.jpg) Horde Trooper Commander V4 (Concept Armor Series) | ![[Armored Batman (the Dark Knight Returns Part 2)] My next custom this week is (as many of you guessed) ARMORED BATMAN! In a mix of what he looked like in the cartoon, comic and a statue I saw online.
He was made out of the regular DKR Batman ( I’ve got a lot of mileage out of that figure!) Trap-Jaw feet and modded iron monger collar, The rest being sculpted on.
He also includes an extra Bruce Wayne head but bleeding this time, since he didn’t got an easy fight against the boy in blue. He includes a small ball chain and a batarang as extra accessories.
I wish I could make so many characters in this series like Bruno by example, however the Swastikas make it a bit offensive for a lot of people and I totally respect that.
Thank you for Checking it out!](userimages/customs/50000/49926-1.jpg) Armored Batman (the Dark Knight Returns Part 2) |
![[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. Thanks for checking!](userimages/customs/50000/49598-1.jpg) He-Man Smiling Head (Based on the IOS Game) | ![[Hawkgirl (Shayera Hol Yellow Track Suit)] Hey guys! 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!
Thanks for checking it!](userimages/customs/49500/49364-1.jpg) Kratos (Motuc Style God of War) |
![[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 |
