I sanded down the features on J'onn's face and used the cape from a Dr Impossible. The purple was painted with a dark purple and dry brushed with a lilac. The gloves were sculpted from apoxie...[See More]

I had begun to put together my Secret Society from the 70's comic and I knew that I would have to have the Captain to go up against them. The sculpting is all done with Aves apoxie sculpt, the...[See More]

This was the awesomely awful costume that the Wizard put on during his stint with the secret Society back in the 70's. If memory serves, he collected the gloves, powerstone, and belt to add to his...[See More]

Doctor Chaos appeared in an issue of Superboy back in the eighties. I had considered customizing him many times, and after seeing manomight1974's figure here on the realm, I knew I wanted one too....[See More]

No, your eyes are not wrong, and neither am I. This is another character who went by the name of Eradicator. He was a Flash nemesis from around the time after Iris's death. The Eradicator believed...[See More]

The skirt came from Mary Marvel. The hat was a piece of vinyl with aluminum foil shaping the top. I used Aves to sculpt over the foil. The scarf is a piece of a red t-shirt, and so is the non...[See More]

He started as a villain, and then I want to say he ended up an ally...I think. I used Aves to sculpt and painted with acrylics. This will wrap up my journey into customs of yesteryear, I will try to...[See More]

I used Aves to sculpt the helmet, gloves, and boots. This was before I had the patience to prep a figure to prevent paint rub. He has been on display for years. Posing him to take these pics has...[See More]

Continuing my journey through the past customs of yesteryear. I do like Iron Man, but previous to the movies we were not seeing nearly enough of his rogues. I started with the Thorbuster IM and...[See More]

A lot of sculpting head to toe on this guy. The nice thing was the solid color scheme. painted with acrylics, sculpted with Aves....[See More]

So, how far back was Magneto released? That is how old this custom is. This was one of my earliest forays into sculpting. It wasn't an epoxy compound, I think it is sculpey. I actually baked the...[See More]

I have always been a big Iron Man fan. The character finally got his due on the big screen, but we never saw figures of most of his classic foes. This is my 3rd post of the night focusing on Tony's...[See More]

Firebrand started out as a Scuba gear Spiderman....I think. I am pretty sure the head belonged to Bullseye. Yet another addition to my Iron Man rogues collection. Let me know what you think...[See More]

This figure, (and the others I am posting tonight), were made quite awhile ago. I am a little fuzzy on my own recipe. If anyone recognizes the body I used, let me know. I sculpted his gloves and...[See More]

This was intended to be more of the Shade from the Starman comic. I loved what James Robinson did with the character in that run. Soooooo, black paint. a lot of black paint. And a Dr. Strange...[See More]

Roulette's grandmother was a Golden Age villain of the same name, who ran a conventional casino and fought Mister Terrific (Terry Sloane). The current Roulette believes Terry Sloane to be her...[See More]

Per Degaton was a perennial foe of the JSA. Per Degaton stole a mechanism for time travel. You would think he would find a better use for it than going up against the JSA and getting his butt...[See More]

This custom, I have to confess, was never on my to do list. I was happy enough with my DC Direct version. When I was staring at the JQ I had picked up, he really suggested himself. very little...[See More]

I really liked the redesign of Moondragon during the Annihilation storylines. Moondragon required a lot of sculpting, painted with acrylics. Let me know what you think....[See More]

The butt-ugly Emma Frost figures that Hasbro released upon us were languishing on the aisles, clearanced as far down as $3.50. For that price, I could find some way to make her work as a custom. I...[See More]

I was a big fan of Starlin's run on Adam Warlock back in the 70's. The Thanos Quest storyline and the Infinity Gauntlet were huge to me because they brought back two of my favorite characters, Adam...[See More]

When it was revealed to Danny Rand that there had been many Iron Fists through the ages, it opened the door to many possibilities for customs. I knew I would want a Lady Iron Fist and now I have...[See More]

So, one of the issues with expanding my DCUC Legion set would be scale. Most of the Legion were done in a young adult buck, while some were in adult size figures. The larger figure seemed to be the...[See More]

This one was a figure that I knew I would have to make. I had the Legion 12 pack (thanks Mattel)but in my opinion it lacked several essential members. With the success of the 12 pack they were sure...[See More]

John Ostrander's run on the Suicide Squad was easily one of my favorite reads. He used the book to shine a light on C and D list characters. If he couldn't make the relevant, he at least made them...[See More]

I sculpted the mask over the head and repainted with acrylics. One of the great characters to be used in the JSA books, Grant was killed off during the Blackest Night storyline. I really hate...[See More]

The first time I had ever heard of Ma Hunkle was the crossover that featured the Red Tornado. Dr Fate explained that he was not the first Red Tornado, that Ma Hunkle was the first, and it showed an...[See More]

I dremeled his face down and filled in the hole in his chest left after pulling his tunic. The paint job was an easy solid green. The antenna are packaging ties with apoxie sculpt at the ends....[See More]

I used Aves apoxie sculpt for the head and boots. Painted with acrylics. Probably the closest thing to an arch=nemesis that Dr Fate ever had, Wotan has been around since the Golden Age of...[See More]

I really liked this character, so of course he had to die...thanks DC. He lives on as an action figure. Helmet chest, shoulders, wrists, belt, and boots were sculpted with Aves Apoxie Sculpt....[See More]
