Hidden Mist Village (Naruto)

Posted in Custom Workstation

I'm looking to create custom figures of Zabuza Momochi (multiple versions), Kisame Hoshigaki, and Suigetsu Hozuki. Depending on how well those go I could create more.

I prefer the scale to be in 6".

I have no resources as it stands. I need to find out the base body I want for each and then the fodder parts to customize it. I have literally no figures around to work with, so I'm going to have to buy everything.

If any of you guys could help me figure out what base figure to use and where to get it, as well as fodder parts, that'd be great.

Any advice at all is welcome.

For Zabuza, I'd like to make his bare-chested first appearance, his black garbed second appearance, his Jounin outfit from flashbacks, and a What-If appearance of what he would look like from Leaf (where the heroes are from).

For Kisame I was thinking of making him with his underclothes and then having a separate, removable cloak.

Suigetsu's appearance is straight-forward - just the purple/gray outfit he usually wears.

I'd also have to sculpt the swords since I doubt the one available is big enough.

EDIT:: I was thinking of using Marvel Legends for the base figures. I was thinking of using Bullseye for the Zabuza/s, which would necessitate a different, thicker base body for Kisame, and something smaller (maybe Bucky?) and younger for Suigetsu.

For everyone to know, my sculpting skills are novice at best, and will be restricted to things like weapons and hair if necessary. Also, I had some reservations about the Bullseye figure because of the plate around his chest/shoulders. Is that removable or is it seamless, or will I have to file it down?
