This is my 50th custom so I decided to go all out on it to celebrate. His tally chart on the blackboard totals 50 as a little tribute to my customizing milestone. I also added the slime on the base as a nod to some of the old 80s toys that were obsessed with slime. After I'd finished it I found some LEDs and thought, why not?, you're only 50 once. Anyhoo, here's my recipe: Base= DCUC Vigilante Head=200x trapjaw, used hot glue to fill it in and create a peg hole. Right arm and lower left and hand=200x trapjaw. Right torso=200x trapjaw, dremmel to fit and sculpt in the gaps. Crotch piece= 200x trapjaw, dremmel to fit Upper legs=200x trapjaw green things, foamy, sculpt and wire. Kneepads=200x trapjaw Lower legs= sculpt and wire Feet and ankle joint= DCUC Black suit supes, to eliminate paint rub. Belt=WCW Championship belt, face off a hero quest skeleton, sculpt and wire. Weapons= Easily but firmly slot into gun arm Claw hand= Bionicle lego Gun hand = some random cheap gun Crossbow hand= think it's GI Joe Wrecking ball hand= Knockoff Joe Bazooka, piece of chain, piece of some sunglasses to attach chain and a foam ball Sword hand= Dunno Saw hand= Bionicle lego Flamethrower effect= ghostrider projectile Base was inspired by Bobtheodd's excellent Trapjaw's arsenal, cheers bob. I left a few spaces for extra weapons I'll probably make in the future. Gremlins Mohawk back Figure packaging Xbox live subscription case Sculpt used epoxy repair putty and didn't get on with it too well plus it smells real bad. Pieces of plastic sprue from an old airfix kit Foam Lantern from TMNT sewer playset Plastic wheel Chains Random fodder for his spare parts box SMC Tarantula crate Some hero quest skulls MIG welding wire Battery assembly from a ghostrider gun 9 Volt battery 2 White LEDS in the Lantern 1 Green LED to light the slime Painted with Games workshop paints and sealed with Satin sealer. Don't think I left anything out :-). I loved working on this one and can't wait to sink my teeth into more MOTU. Loads more pics inside the thread!! ![]() |

Something I don't like in the original one are the legs because of the posture trapJaw stands up. So I love the more straight legs you gave him. Without a doubt the best TrapJaw custom figure I've ever seen.
