Elite Foot Ninja (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
The last of my 2012 TMNT mods. I always thought the Elite Foot Ninjas were a cool idea. So, I did something simplistic. I took four of the Foot Ninjas that came with the motorcycle and added the...[See More]
Rat King (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Once again, a necessary repaint to make drab figures look interesting. Just filled in the sculpted spots that were supposed to be colored....[See More]
Mozar and Newtralizer (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Another set of repaints. Not much was done to the Newtralizer. Mostly just adding detail to his belt and armor. Mozar, on the other hand, is some of the most perfect dry brushing I've ever done....[See More]
Baxter-Fly and Kirby-Bat (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Getting close to being done posting these. This time, I went with predator and prey. You decide who is who. Just wanted to bring out the sculpted details that Playmates didn't bother to paint....[See More]
Rahzar and Tiger Claw (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Yet, another pair of repaints from the 2012 Playmates line. Practically none of the exposed bones were painted on Rahzar. And the color scheme on Tiger Claw was completely lost on the factory...[See More]
Dogpound and Fishface (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Another pair of Playmates repaints. Just a bit of detail work to bring out the sculpting and be a little more cartoon accurate....[See More]
Bebop and Rocksteady (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
So, continuing with my Playmates fixes, These are pretty much simple repaints. I prefer the Mutations version of Rocksteady for the size and better shoulder articulation....[See More]
Usagi Yojimbo (Movie Concept) (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
I have to admit, I am really proud of this one. I've been a huge fan of Usagi ever since he first appeared in the 80's TMNT cartoon. And, while not everyone enjoyed the 2014-16 movies, the figures...[See More]

Shredder (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Moving on to the villains now. The first Shredder from the Nickelodeon line had surprisingly good arm articulation. The second had a much better sculpt and scale. Even a removeable helmet. But,...[See More]

Mondo Gecko (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Being a skater kid in the 80's, Mondo Gecko was always one of my favorite characters. I loved how he was portrayed in the 2012 series, especially having gotten Robbie Rist (90's live-action TMNT...[See More]
The Mighty Mutanimals (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Admittedly, Leatherhead and Monkey Brains were are just repaints. Monkey Brains just needed his pants colored. (Why would the not make it look like he's wearing pants?) Leatherhead got a full dry...[See More]
Napoleon Bonafrog & Attila the Frog (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
These two were just straight repaints. I definitely spent more time on Napoleon. His sculpt was PERFECT with such great details. I just had to bring them out with a bit of color. A little bit of...[See More]
Casey Jones (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
I think the addition of Casey Jones into the Nickelodeon TMNT series is what finally got me to give the show a serious chance. And I am so glad I did. The first figure had a great sculpt, but then...[See More]
April O'Neil (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Continuing with my TMNT improvements, this one was an ongoing update. First, I had just repainted the shorts to give them a more denim look and include the little patch on the butt. Later on, I...[See More]

Master Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
Continuing my TMNT touch ups, not a whole lot was done here. I did dry brush detailing to his belt and wraps, added the flowers to his kimono, and painted his toes to match his fingers and tail....[See More]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
by PureToreador
So, I'm going to be changing gears for the next week. I did a lot of repaints and minor augmentations for the 2012 TMNT line as I bought them. Recently I've decided to sell my whole collection....[See More]
Siren (Hila) (DC Universe)
by PureToreador
Queen Mera of Xebel has a twin sister, Hila, also known as the assassin, Siren. Honestly, even as much as I love DC, I had never heard of this character until she got included in the phone app game,...[See More]

Major Steve Trevor III (Wonder Woman)
by PureToreador
Easiest custom ever. A simple head swap. If you've ever watched the old Wonder Woman TV series, you know that she works with Steve Trevor in 1945 against the Nazis, and then with his son, (who is...[See More]

Cyborg (Justice League)
by PureToreador
This was a very simple custom. Like many others, I thought that the normal Cyborg figure had something very off about his torso and shoulder ball joints. The armored version (Wal-mart exclusive)...[See More]
Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)
by PureToreador
I don't care what anybody says, I hereby declare that I LOVED the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie. It was EVERYTHING that a decent Green Lantern movie should be. My only complaint is that the...[See More]

Slade Wilson (DC Universe)
by PureToreador
I lucked out finding one of these guys for a reasonable price. Decided to tweak him a bit. Touched him up with a little silver to bring out some of the armor's damage and dremmeled into his joints...[See More]

Lex Luthor (Power Suit) (DC Universe)
by PureToreador
When I saw that Mattel had picked up the Halo property, I knew that I would get some use out of them. After finding a lot of Prison Suit Luthors for SUPER cheap (pun intended,) I figured this would...[See More]

Reverse Flash (DC Universe)
by PureToreador
I was very close to having this finished in time to be the first. Then, I saw Nuffsaid's post and lost a little steam. Don't get me wrong, his was awesome (congrats, dude.) But, since I wasn't...[See More]

Alfred Pennyworth (Batman v Superman)
by PureToreador
So this one is another basic head swap/repaint. In trying to keep with the new DCEU, I needed a Jeremy Irons look rather than a Michael Caine. So, I searched and searched for a suitable substitute...[See More]

Gorilla Grodd (DC Universe)
by PureToreador
Like so many, I didn't get a CNC Grodd when the DCU figures started and don't feel like shelling out the (at least) $80 to get one online. Gygor was much more within my price range and RG3 Customs...[See More]

Bizarro (Superman)
by PureToreador
I got an extra of this figure a while back knowing that, with it's darker color scheme, it would become Bizarro. I just couldn't decide which facial design I would use. Then, last night, I started...[See More]

Bruce Wayne Head (Batman v Superman)
by PureToreador
As much as I love these figures, what was up with that excuse for Ben Affleck on this guy? The guys at Casting Cave have a fantastic Ben Affleck head cast that I can only assume is shrunk down from...[See More]

Batman v Superman Batmobile (Batman v Superman)
by PureToreador
While this Batmobile is far from a perfect version to use for the Multiverse figures, it's not a bad substitute. The factory version is lacking on the details, however, so I decided to give it a...[See More]

Harvey "Two-Face" Dent (Batman - Movie Style)
by PureToreador
This is another one that I made with inspiration from some of our fellow customizers. I wanted realism with some of the classic comic aesthetics. Something akin to his Arkham appearances. Just a...[See More]

Bane (Batman - Movie Style)
by PureToreador
Continuing my DCEU, I bring you Bane. I thought, while the look wasn't horrible, Tom Hardy's Bane wasn't nearly tall enough, even with trick photography. And, the action figures had the same...[See More]
