The original figure had only 4 cut joints, 4 twists and 1 ball joint.
The new Kiddo has 6 cut joints, 5 ball joints, 4 twist joints and double-jointed knees.
Her costume was entirely repainted a brighter yellow and the stripes had to be painted back on. I used stills from the movie to map the blood stains on her costume. I also touched up her face to make it look more feminine, adding darker eyelashes and a brighter lip color.
The Bike she rides in the movie is a repainted 1:12 scale die cast Suzuki model kit (it was the closest I could find to the Yamaha she rode in the film.)](userimages/customs/500/447-1.jpg) Beatrix Kiddo "The Bride" Kill Billby Will TurnerThis is a much more articulated Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill.

![[Cat-Woman] The "Hush" Cat-Woman was almost perfect but not quite. I added a new belt, 10 more points of articulation (mostly in her legs), a removeable backpack (where else is a thief going to keep her loot?)and gave her a different paint treatment. I was kind of going for "Ultimate Cat-Woman" in thinking about what I could do to make her costume even more practical.

In it, the Punisher is free from the constraints of the comics code, leaving him free to do his bloody worst on the scum of New York in some very well written tales.
His appearance in the MAX line is much different than in the regular Marvel universe. The sharp Punisher logo is replaced with a crudely drawn white skull is smeared on a black flack jacket [makes more sense, Frank Castle is not an artist.] He is over 50 [he was in Vietnam] and his face is creaced with years of scar tissue, his nose is broken and he is overall taller and more muscular. According to artist Lewis Larosa, he is 6'3 240 lbs of vengance in a leather trench coat.
I saw the Undertaker figure in KB and knew he would make a great MAX Punisher. Cut off his goatte and beard, cut his long hair, and scared and resculpted his face and "broke" his nose, slapped on a Skull and 2 holsters and gave him the Spiderman 2 Doc Ock's hands [they still h](userimages/customs/500/426-1.jpg) The Punisher [MAX VERSION] Marvelby Will TurnerI am a huge fan of Marvel comic's Punisher MAX [18+] series.

![[Batman Begins] I decided to take a crack at building a Christian Bale Batman begins figure. Mine differs from Iron Cow's and Spidey007's because I couldn't find their exact recipes, plus it's more fun to improvise a little. The main differences are his accessories (Graple Gun and Bat Grenades) and the chest armor is constructed in layers of rubber suits built up, as opposed to one plastic shell or one rubber suit. Also, the finger articulation has been excluded so he can actually have a firm grip on his Graple gun and can actually hang from it.](userimages/customs/500/408-1.jpg) Batman Begins Batmanby Will TurnerI decided to take a crack at building a Christian Bale Batman begins figure.

![[John McClane] This is Bruce Willis as he appeared in the Die Hard films. I've always wanted to do this one, but I had to wait for a figure with a good Bruce Willis head. This looks like it was easy, but there was a major head compatability issue between Hartigan and Marv, and needles to say color to be dealt with. I did all of the facial hair and dirt and oil smudging effects, which were I guess the hardest part. I really like how he turned out and he was an awesome custom to work on.
The only thing missing as of yet is the LAPD detective badge around his neck, for that, i'll use a die cast sheriff or policeman's badge from Michael's Arts and Crafts, my go to store for accessories in a figure scale that normally wouldn't be included with commercial action figures (Beer cans, Beer bottles, cigars, playing cards, etc.)

She thinks in fragments and kills as if breathing. Her perception of life is that it is something to be dealt with, nothing more. She is driven by her iron will and haunted by memories of her murdered father...
This is my costume idea for a more mature Elektra in the ultimate Marvel universe. Currently, the Elektra in the Ultimate Marvel universe is only a teenager without much combat training. This is her several years down the road and a little less sane. :)
Inspired by her look "Elektra: Assasin" by Frank Miller (Sin City) with the amazing art of Bill Sienkiewicz I updated Elektra's costume to be more practical, as the one seen in the "Ultimate Daredevil & Elektra" 4-part mini-series, without sacrificing her errie mystique.
Construction:
I repainted the Marvel Select Black Widow and combined it with the lower arms and (super) repainted head of a Shi action figure.

![[Neo] A super poseable Neo! I made this one a while back, before I saw "revolutions." He was pretty easy to make, lots of cutting and sanding to get the final battle neo head to sit on the Punisher neck without the gap showing. He can carry 9 guns at once because I added an extra holster on his left leg and guns can fit into the straps that came with the Punisher's coat. According to his first picture, he knows Kung Fu. His aresenal is as follows:
2 Uzis
2 desert eagle hand guns
1 Beretta 9mm hand gun
2 M-16 automatic rifles (one with scope)
2 MPK5 fully automatics (the ones with no protruding barrel and long clips, used by SWAT teams)
2 HK ump rifles (the ones in "Reloaded" that the twins used in the freeway chase)
Not pictured is the famous "whonging" pole from the secene in "reloaded" where he beats up multiple Agent Smiths. I just cut a Neo sized length of small pipe with a hacksaw.](userimages/customs/500/376-1.jpg) Neo Matrixby Will TurnerA super poseable Neo! I made this one a while back, before I saw "revolutions."

![[Trinity] This Trinity was one of the most challanging figures I've made. It combines the mobility of the old N2 model and the head sculpt of the McFarlane model. Easy right? Nope. The N2 bodies are near impossible to "crack" (open like a peanut shell, 2 perfect halves using a swift, presice blow with any object) and she broke in half. after prying her the rest of the way apart, I put the new head in and sliced off the glasses of the N2 version (in 3 sections, lenses, and both halves of the frame) with a fresh xacto knife (really hard to do, you get one chance) and glued them on the McFarlane head, holding them with the xacto point. Finally, she was painted with gloss enamel to hide the crack and to make her look like she was wearing leather.](userimages/customs/500/374-1.jpg) Trinity Matrixby Will TurnerThis Trinity was one of the most challanging figures I've made.

I try to design figures that are entirely plastic and as durable as their legends counterparts. Johnny was made from two "undesireable" figures that are probably still on sale at bargain prices.
