![[Dr. Victor Falco] Dr. Victor Falco is one of the villains of the new Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series (which, by the way, is totally awesome and I highly recommend it). Don and April go to investigate a missing scientist named Dr. Tyler Rockwell, thinking that he'd been kidnapped by The Kraang, like April's dad had been. Falco, Rockwell's partner, was the one that reported him missing, so he was their number one source. He said that he and Rockwell had been experimenting on monkeys with mutagen, and that one had broken free and that Rockwell had gone missing. The monkey, now with psychic powers, ambushes Don and April. Little did they know, the monkey WAS Rockwell, and Falco was the one that turned him into that. Not only that, Falco was injecting himself with the mutagen - giving himself psychic powers, and the ability to predict the Turtles' moves.
Some time later, whilst experimenting with rats, a fire broke out the chemical compound spilled, burning and disfiguring Falco, as well as](userimages/customs/49000/48742-1.jpg) Dr. Victor Falco | ![[Green Lantern Stripezoid] Stripezoid is the zebra Green Lantern from the children's DC Super Pet books.

You might notice that she does have one and a half cybernetic arms, but I feel that since the rest of them are organic, she should qualify.
Anyway, the bulk of her comes from Mystique. A simple paint job took care of most of the figure. The helmet's from Silver Samurai, and although I'm aware it looks a bit weird, I went through live five different ways to apply it and trust me, this came out the best.
All of the arms are Mystique's, cannibalized from two others in addition to the one used as a base. The last component was the fur-stuff on her legs, which is just cotton.](userimages/customs/46500/46192-1.jpg) Spiral Marvel vs Capcomby ninjinisterAlthough I had intention of making this before I heard of the Alienated Anatomy contest, but once it was announced, I decided to follow through.

Unfortunately, it turned out to very likely be a complete hoax, as nobody's actually seen one, and there's been no further pictures "proving" its existence. So, when I finally got my hands on a few of these invisible Sues, I went to work. I wanted to replicated the alleged figure as closely as I possibly could, and believe it or not this was rather easy. Just boil 'n' popped some limbs and put her back together again. I've included a picture of the original so-called Phasing Sue for reference.](userimages/customs/46500/46078-1.jpg) Phasing Invisible Woman Marvel Universeby ninjinisterA while back, before even the regular invisible Sue Storm (in fact, right after the Future Foundation pack variant was announced), Marvelous News had ...1 comments |

Normally, I let it slide if it's little things like a slightly different shade of something, or a costume or accessory difference that's barely noticeable. However, Shulkie here not only had a slightly different leotard, but boots instead of shoes.
I'm not good at color-matching, but thankfully I have a green that's pretty bleedin' close to Jen's shade o' skin. I painted up the tops of her boots and sculpted the tops of the shoes, then went to work on her leotard.
Strangely enough, her head came off easy (for painting the leotard unhindered), but it was such a pain in the butt to put back on that it actually forced her legs out of her body during my attempt to do so. Sadly I can't seem to get them precisely as strong as they were, and as a result, she's a bit wobbly.](userimages/customs/45500/45370-1.jpg) She-Hulk Marvel vs Capcomby ninjinisterI'd bought the Marvel Universe She-Hulk figure to add to my Marvel vs. Capcom collection, but I noticed that she's quite a bit different from her MvC3...0 comments |

During volume 4 of the comic and the 4Kids cartoon (both which were being released around the same time), this theme was amplified tremendously. The most prominent of which was Silver Sentry, Michelangelo's favorite hero in the 2003 series. He was pretty much the TMNT version of Superman in many ways.
This figure represents Silver Sentry's incarnation in the series' final season, "Back to the Sewer". The art style had been retrofitted to become somewhat of a simplified version of Bruce Timm's art style, and thus a Justice League Superman was the perfect choice to transform into Double-S.](userimages/customs/45500/45208-1.jpg) Silver Sentry |

Sagat served as the game's final boss, and was a wee bit different from the incarnation many know him best for today - most noticeably, he doesn't have that gnarly chest scar, as it is given to him by Ryu at the conclusion of the match seen in the game.
First thing I did was shave the scar off. Then, since he's a fair amount paler in SF1 than his later appearances, I repainted him all over, also giving him the gray wraps and purple trunks with white stripe he wears in the sprite.](userimages/customs/43500/43043-1.jpg) Sagat Street Fighterby ninjinisterFrom the original 1987 Street Fighter arcade game comes Sagat.

One of the things I had saved for the occasion in which I'd get some 3.75 suited figures was the head from the cockpit-opening action Iron Monger figure from the 6 inch Iron Man 1 film line, which had a 3.75 scale Obadiah head. Sadly, my color-matching skills are so legendarily poor that Shakespeare wrote of them, so I needed to repaint everything. Personally, I don't think it turned out too bad. The eyebrows were the only thing that gave me real trouble, and now he looks like he's giving The People's Eyebrow, which is actually pretty cool.
