"Divine Majesty King Groot the 23rd, Monarch of Planet X, custodian of the branch worlds, ruler of all the shades, flora colossus!" This being my first custom I wanted to challenge myself as much as possible. I used just about every customizing medium, trick, and method I could think of. I sanded, dremeled, sculpted, cast parts, created joints, used magnets, fully painted then finished him off with some superglue and a flat clear coat for protection. Base figure - MU Gigantic Battles Goliath and LOTR Treebeard Head - Fully sculpted with use of left over Treebeard branching along with some made from scratch (if you can't tell which is which I'm not telling!) I also removed the peg in his head and created a disc/ball jointed neck so he can look up while crouched. Arms and Legs - Fused the lower arms and legs together in order to keep the double jointed elbows and knees. I didn't like how restrictive Treebeard's legs were so I created a swivel joints at the shins and rocker ankles to give him more stability and better posability. Fully sculpted over everything except the shoulder and hip ball joints. Torso - Fully Sculpted over to smooth out musculature and add in his baggy clothes look. Pouches and Belts - Made from scratch, sculpted and cast. I added magnets to the ones on his waist so you can easily take them off so they won’t hinder any poses. This took about 3 months (of my spare time) and a whole lot of trial and error. Feedback is welcome and I'm happy to be a part of this awesome customizing community! -Supertom ![]() |

I also like you part choices and how you chose to assemble them, especially the legs! Looks like that took time! Really solid tonal work to your paints to top it off!
Looking forward to seeing more BIG things like this from you.
I almost feel like I got lucky with the face sculpt. I haven't sculpted (unless you count playing Cranium) in probably 15-20 years. I just sat down with a few tools and some Aves and went to town!
Every time I see someone post a new Groot figure it makes me kick myself for not moving ahead with my own custom Groot I've had planned for a couple years now.
This is excellent work.
The end result shows the hard work that has been put into this custom.
Keep it up.
