2006 After taking a break I got ahold of the DCSH series 3 Batman, and for the first time I thought I might be able to make a really nice Bats. I had the Hush, the DCSH series 1 and the 2003 Zipline...[See More]

2002 The Rhino that came in series 2 of the Spidey Classics was a really cool toy, but with very limited articulation. I thought I could fix that up and when all those movie Hulk toys were on the...[See More]

2002 The Flash is a great design, he's the archetype speedster and I wanted one. DC Direct had just come out with a decent modern Flash in the JLA line, but it was too tall and not well articulated,...[See More]

2002 Since the cool new Marvel Legends were so awesome, I thought I could take the ML1 Captain American body and build a Batman out of it. Seemed like a no-brainer. Body, arms, legs - Marvel...[See More]

2002 Black Widow is another favorite character, and I wanted a nice one to go along with these new Marvel Legends that were just coming out at the time. Here's the parts I came up with: Torso, head...[See More]

2002 I liked that the Spider-man line was a staging area for trying out new articulation. The first time we saw a swivel ab crunch was on the Spider-sense Spider-man. And that was a good Spidey but...[See More]

2001 I always liked Nightcrawler and by 2001 Marvel Legends was just getting going and I wanted something to go with the couple of MLs I had. I had previously bought the Nightcrawler out of the very...[See More]

2001 I was big into the Manga Spawn toys, and Overtkill had what I thought was a great design, but that baby blue it had was just not very intimidating. So it needed a total re-paint, and I thought...[See More]

2000 Daredevil is a fave character, so I had to make one and I went all out for it. The base figure is from the Dc Superheros Electric Blue Superman - it was the first line the 4 Horsemen did after...[See More]

2000 This was the beginning of the end, wasn't it? Movie Maniacs were selling well and someone at McFarlane must have said hey, why don't we take that way of doing it to the Spawn series? Spawn...[See More]

2000 Hulk Hogan body and a Undertaker head. I wanted a Punisher and those were the parts that seemed to do the job. Took the whole neck and head and placed it on the Hogan body. The holsters were...[See More]

2000 At some point I picked up the original Ninja Spawn toy, and it had this awesome backpack that you could store all the weapons in. Plus a soft rubber hood to wear over the head. And it had these...[See More]

2000 I loved the Dawn action figure that McFarlane made. It's still one of my favorites, but way back when I wanted to customize one into her trademark red outfit. I sanded down her outfit, got the...[See More]

2000 Kaiyodo's Vash had the advanced articulation (for the time) and the McFarlane Vash had the good looks, so I kitbashed them together. The body is Kaiyodo, including the transforming gun arm, with...[See More]

2000 Back in the 90s Moore Action Collectibles was making some really nice figures for Lady Death, Witchblade and others, and while they had limited articulation, the sculpts were beautiful. I picked...[See More]

1999 Another re-working of a beloved Spawn Series 12 toy. The unmasked version was a little hard to find, but it did get re-released in the fishtank, so that's when I picked it up. I am not in the...[See More]

1999 At some point I saw the Electra Woman action figure and I thought it would make a great Wonder Woman. Big and full figured, it inspired me. So the gauntlets had to be carved down (way before I...[See More]

1999 This was a simple re-working of the Legends of the Dark Knight series Dark Knight toy. That had a huge cape and bright blue paintjob, so I repainted to grey and black, and cut the bat-logo from...[See More]

1999 Angela was a mighty fine toy and still holds up well despite its age. At the time all I wanted to do was spruce it up a bit, and that included some repainting to red, detailing in the paintjob,...[See More]

1999 Another of the McFarlane pieces that needed some work. Series 12 was a big favorite and The Creech was and still is a huge favorite figure. This bad boy needed a paintjob though - mostly...[See More]

1998 A while back some of my favorite customizers were talking in the comments here remarking about how wonderful this format is, because you can take a quick glance and see all of a customizer's...[See More]

I had seen the TNA Sonjay Dutt used by Discogod to make a Daredevil, and bought one to copy his recipe, but ended up making something completely different. But I still had the body and I thought it'd...[See More]

The RoML2 Neo-Classic Iron Man is a nice piece. Mostly. But its ankles are designed so badly that it's almost impossible to stand. So I had to fix it. I knew the kind of ankles I wanted, and I found...[See More]

GrownNerd's recipe. I've never straight-up copied someone else's work but that Thing is perfect, and I wanted one. Shortening the legs was way harder than I thought it would be. I wanted to do what...[See More]

This is a replacement for an old DD custom that I've had in use since 2001. i wanted to go all out and no matter what base body i looked into using (FO Punisher, DCUC Black Manta and Mercury, many...[See More]

To me, this character is about as indispensable as Captain America. Sure, I wasn't a huge childhood fan or anything, but recognize how central and huge a part they take in their worlds. I need to...[See More]

Upper Torso, arms, feet: 2-Pack ML Black Widow Lower torso (modified), Legs (modified), multiple revolver joints: Revoltech Yoko Head: Various, but mostly the DCDirect Armory Supergirl. How to...[See More]
