Waylon Jones was born with a mutation giving him reptile skin, sharp claws and teeth. He was a champion wrestler who soon retired and then became one of Batman's most dangerous rogues.
With so many Arkham Crocs, I wanted to make Killer Croc in his more crocodile like form like when he got kicked around by Osiris. In fact, I almost made a Sobek. Anyone who has searched the internet for custom figures has probably seen this recipe used for a different character. I added more articulation, used different parts from my fodder, and sculpted/modded a ton of him.
The base used was a DCD Rogues Gallery Killer Croc. Luckily I had bought him for a few bucks back before the price blew up. I cut the torso just below the waist and used plastic epoxy to attach a broken Sota SF Blanka lower torso and legs I had lying around.. Then cut Blanka and Crocs legs mid thigh. I cut off and dremeled an early ML](userimages/customs/40000/39549-1.jpg) Killer Croc DC Universeby RedRebelCustoms"How many times do I have to tell you, white boy?

![[TMNT Donatello] In the not too distant future, an adult Donatello, returning home from one of his adventures, was stunned to find a strange, glowing, pink crystal in the sewers. As he reached for it, an image of the Sorceress flashed within his mind and, in a millisecond, understood the importance of his discovery, as well as exactly what he needed to do. He rushed back to his underground home and began working on a teleportation device that would utilize this luminous crystal. All the schematics were somehow vivid in his mind. Having already successfully separated his half-shell some years before, he decided to built the teleportation device within the shell itself. Being that his brothers were not around to join him on his journey, he briefly informed Splinter of the urgency and importance of the revelation he had earlier. With only his trusty bo, his magnifying goggles and a couple of pics of his brothers (stored in his half-shell), he was ready for his new adventure. Splinter wished him wel](userimages/customs/40000/39524-1.jpg) TMNT Donatello Masters of the Universeby NeCrollectorIn the not too distant future, an adult Donatello, returning home from one of his adventures, was stunned to find a strange, glowing, pink crystal in ...57 comments Rated 4.27 stars ( 125 votes) | ![[Leatherhead] I liked the look of the original animated TMNT Leatherhead, but I preferred the Leatherhead from the Archie Comics TMNT Adventures (looked like the old cartoon, but was actually a heroic character and one of the members of the Mutanimals).
Anyways, I'm keeping this brief until after the contest...
So, the lower half belongs to Bulletstorm, the upper half Venom (the Mac Gargan version), the head vintage Leatherhead, add some paint, Apoxie and a vest and there's Leatherhead.](userimages/customs/39500/39344-1.jpg) Leatherhead |
![[Bush Master] So I set out to make a posable and cool looking Bush Master and I am really happy with the result. I started off with a Bullseye torso and arms. Used a Silver Surfer head. The snake body was actually one of my sons one dollar snake toys I bought at our local dollar store. I basically cut the snake head off of the body. Then cut the snake open all the way down. Took a wire coat hanger and some epoxy to glue it to the inside of the snake body. Sealed up the body with more epoxy. Secured the torso to the snake with epoxy then some sculpting around it to make it blend together. Painting the body and head were easy to do but when it came to painting the snake body it was very time consuming, I literally painted detail arouond each scale which you can see in the picture from behind. I also had to use a flat sealer many times on the body of the snake because it was a rubber material the paint would flake off alot, but the 3 coats of sealer seemed to take care of that.

Found a cheap dragon at K*B Toys(rest in peace) several years ago and thought with a little modding it would make a great ZOK custom from the Herculoids, since I didn't purchace the animated looking one that was out in the boxed sets(I wish I had've anyways!)
RECIPE: I cut off one finger from each hand and one toe from each foot to get it to match the cartoon ZOK's digits. I sculpted some to blend that all in. I cut off the big ears it hand and dremeled up the face. I resculpted the entire face to make it look more like ZOK, adding the long horn in the center of his head and a sculpted beard. The only other sculpt was over some wire to extend his tail some. Primered and painted it with Tamiya and given a sealant coat.
He stands 11" inches tall. The wingspand is 16" inches wide and he is 17" long. I originally planned on this being Legend scale but it just didn't look right. Now with Marvel Universe out, it will fit in perfect with those. I plan o](userimages/customs/40000/39546-1.jpg) Zok Herculoidsby fastfreddieZOK THE SPACE DRAGON!

The one called Mantis brought its evil army and built a fortress to protect itself from me.
It has wasted its time.
My swords shall taste your evil blood."
- In-game introductory text for the Terrestrial Plane of Water
Chakan, Sega Genesis
A vile hybrid of snake (which satisfies the reptilian requirement of this Scales & Tails contest) and praying mantis, this aquatic fiend is one of the legendary evil forces that must be slain in 1992's Sega Genesis and Game Gear Chakan: The Forever Man video games. Said titles were based on the Chakan graphic novels written and illustrated by Robert A. Kraus (R.A.K. Graphics.)
Despite its intimidating visual design, Mantis represents a rather disappointingly easy boss fight. Most of the time, all the creature does is leap around its lair, attempting to land on, and crush, Chakan with its enormous bulk, but it will also occasionally stick to the ground in order to take swipes a](userimages/customs/39500/39354-1.jpg) Mantis Independent Comicsby Patraw"From the blackness of the deepest ocean it came.

So what do you get when you take a T-Rex toy, lots of paint and sculpy, the body of a Halo Reach Jorge, combine it all... then PISS IT OFF?! You get Urdnot Wrex. Wrex here is the best character in all of Mass Effect and by all means its utterly tragic if you play through the series and let him die. In fact you should be down right ashamed of yourself if you let him die. Also, I will never make another Krogan, Wrex was the most difficult build I've ever undertaken.

Meanwhile, Dragon Man here will just languish down in ninth place.
Anyone familiar with this character? In the Marvel Universe, Professor Gilbert of New York State University wanted to build a robot to beat the Fantastic Four . . . only as a research tool, of course (uh . . . wut? This was apparently a purely hypothetical beating). He eventually developed an incredibly powerful android . . . and made it look like an anthropomorphic dragon. Why? Because he's a mad scientist, so @#$% YOU, that's why!!

I expected this figure to place higher than my Dragon Man. Guess the Eternian snake henchman doesn't have the same following as an alchemically-modified super-robot made to look like a purple dragon and built to (only theoretically) fight the Fantastic Four to a standstill . . . .
Anyway, what can be said about this latest MOTU Hybrid? No really, say something, 'cuz I'm not terribly familiar with the guy. I mean, I've read up on him, in both his original incarnation and the 2002 revision, but I have no personal investment. He was one of the later characters of the old line I grew up with, and got little screen time or characterization, as with the rest of his fellow Snake-Men. Sure, he got a LOT more development with the later series, but it was kinda too little, too late. Hmm . . . that might explain the lukewarm reaction here on the Realm as well.

The sword is from my Bionicle bin, painted with black and red.
The peg in his back has been swapped with a screw.
