Back after a bit of a hiatus, here are some fairly basic “Kelvin Timeline” Star Trek customs. On Uhura, I added a communications earpiece, and McCoy is simply a ball jointed neck and newer hands....[See More]

My holiday custom is none other than John McClane. This is an amalgamation of a few of his appearances in the course of the series. Nothing more needs to be said except Merry Christmas and Yippie Kay...[See More]

In an incredibly divisive move, the second JJ Abrams Star Trek decided to use Khan as their principal baddie (“John Harrison” in the ad campaign) in an attempt to capitalize/ape the superlative Wrath...[See More]

A variation on a cancelled figure from the Star Trek 2009 line, this is Mr. Spock in his officer’s uniform from the first half of Star Trek into Darkness. I built this figure with the ability to work...[See More]

The merchandising rights to Star Trek are all over the place, with Paramount owning the film rights and the television rights belonging to CBS, so any kind of corporate synergy to consolidate their...[See More]

Captain Pike has a strange origin in the Star Trek Universe: in the original pilot for Star Trek in 1965, Jeffrey Hunter was cast as the lead, Christopher Pike. When NBC ordered a new “less cerebral”...[See More]

One of the other figures missing from the Star Trek 2009 figure line, was Ayel, sidekick/heavy to the main baddie Nero played by the terrific character actor Clifton Collins. It’s a bit of an...[See More]

This is a simple repaint/articulation adjustment. One thing I can’t stand in a line is scale disparity. Nero (Eric Bana) appears onscreen as larger than the rest of the cast. So to fix things, I gave...[See More]

The cancelled second wave of the 2009 STAR TREK line from Playmates was due to contain a fair amount of figures based on the action sequences from the film. This Sulu figure is based on one of these...[See More]

The second in my Star Trek “Kelvin Universe” figure line, this Spock figure is a rather simple custom, adding a ball joint neck and changing the angle of the legs at the hips for a more active...[See More]

Star Trek has never gotten the same love as Star Wars when it comes to toy/action figure love (for more info watch THE TOYS THAT MADE US on Netflix) and when they launched the tie in toy line in...[See More]

As long as Fox owns the rights to the X-Men and Mutant Marvel characters, Hasbro is going to put the kybosh on making tie in figures of their characters, lest they detract from the Disney owned MCU....[See More]

Fun fact: in the original script, Steve Rogers wasn’t supposed to arrive in Infinity War until near the very end when he fights off Thanos in Wakanda. Fortunately they added him in earlier which...[See More]

Scarlet Witch was essentially a glorified head swap, but for the fact that she has a very particular coat that is difficult to create without building onto the body of the figure, rather than finding...[See More]

My small Captain America Civil War series wouldn’t be complete without the character that is the central figure in the story: Bucky Barnes. Caps best mate turned brainwashed Hydra assassin, it’s...[See More]

This one was a little difficult for the reason that I had to sculpt a new chest plate on this figure to keep up with the ever changing suits that Iron Man uses in the films. But it turned out...[See More]

Another variation on the Civil War Marvel Legends vase figure. I did very little to this other than adjust his height/scale to other figures, swap the head and give him new hands. One of my favorite...[See More]

This one took a long time to figure out how to create, and I’m still a little on the fence about it. Nevertheless, I managed to get the articulation I wanted, and I hand sculpted the head. Figure was...[See More]

This is a simple head/cape swap and piss poor repaint. Pretty sure I was just trying to fill a hole in my collection and the work is passable at best. Sometimes customizing is just going through the...[See More]

The 3 and 3/4 inch Marvel Universe began to Peter out by 2015 and the release of Avengers Age of Ultron, but there were a few stragglers in the line, but they were mainly repurposed from previous...[See More]

One thing I love about the MCU and the Captain America pictures in general, is how they have created a kind of grounded practical reality in the costuming, much like Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. This...[See More]

Before he was underutilized as Crossbones in Captain America Civil War, Brock Rumlow was the chief enforcer of Hydra hiding in SHIELD. This figure was a kitbash based around a GI Joe Rise of Cobra...[See More]

One of the most popular secondary characters of the MCU (though basically she is the female lead of The Avengers films) Black Widow gets her strongest showing in the second Captain America film. This...[See More]

One of the best things about the Captain America sequel is Robert Redford. In a career first (!!!) he plays SPOILER ALERT the main villain of the film. But this is no mustache twirling turn: after...[See More]

Hasbro made a 3.75 line based off of Captain America The Winter Soldier, but the scale and articulation was all over the place. A few years later, they released an acceptable 3.75 version with Civil...[See More]

It’s a shame that Marvel/Hasbro hasn’t made a figure of one of their more popular tertiary characters, Agent Peggy Carter: one of the lead characters of the first Captain America picture, and the...[See More]

The initial line of the Captain America The First Avenger figures was a bit of a mess. Rather than produce a series based on the character’s appearance in the film, they were based on concept art....[See More]

The last of my Han Solo customs comes from Return of the Jedi. Hasbro had made a decent one for their vintage line in the mid 2000s, and upgraded the head in 2008 and eventually reintroduced it in...[See More]

Sort of a slight modification/addition to an already pretty good SA Han Solo. One of the curious things about these figures, Star Wars in particular, is as the years go by, little tweaks of...[See More]

Quite possibly the most popular character in the Star Wars Universe, Han Solo holds a strange place in his final appearance (continuity-wise) in The Force Awakens. He occupies the slot usually held...[See More]
