Professor X body, Black Series Stormtrooper helmet X 100
One fully original sculpted figure, wired with an LED and a switch in his back.

So this isn't exactly a 'single' custom figure. This was 101 cast resin figures. This was my thesis project to graduate from college.

Yes, I graduated college by making a bunch of action figures.

No, really!

It was a hell of a task to make 100 of the 'Suit Troopers'. I originally broke down a Prof. X figure to it's 41 individual components and cast them in silicon. I had about 12 molds, with anywhere from one piece like the helmet, to 6 pieces of the arms. I had planned on making each one fully articulated, but that took me about 5-6 hours from pouring the resin to assembly, so eventually (after about 50 when my molds blew out and I had to re-pour) I had to make them less articulated, and finally for time restrictions (cause I wanted to graduate already) I eliminated almost all articulate entirely.
Forming an illuminating pyramid, 100 Suit Troopers approaching the main figure from behind, who is faceless, lost and absorbed so much by their technology they fail to see the peril approaching from behind. The only color in the all-white piece is a piercing blue LED issuing forth a ghostly glow over the main figure. It's a modern retelling of Plato's 'Allegory of the Cave'. We are so absorbed by our technology, by Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, all the others, that we're losing what it is that makes us human.

The images are from when it was shown at the Littman/White Gallery in Portland, OR.
