Metalhead (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Custom Action Figure
When I saw Blast-Attak I saw a Metalhead body from TMNT. I never liked Blast-Attak but always wanted a Metalhead. And so it began...I bought the playmates Metalhead online, performed plastic surgery cracking the shell open and disconnecting the dome piece. Used tape to cover the clear transparent brain that when you put in light makes the eyes light up (love this feature on old toys like terminator)... Thought the body had the perfect beautiful paint job and didn't think my sculpt would bring much better out then was already done, so I went with it. Repainted the head with a custom mix of citadel paints, with metallic medium added. Repainted the little grenades and details on his belt along with the T. There are about 10 different colors used even though it looks simple. I am really happy with how he came out. So if you want a motu sized Metalhead, this is my simple recipe!  Please wait... |

I'm wondering if the hands from the original Metalhead figure might make him look more robot/turtle-like. This guy's size might also make him a good candidate for the shell from the Nickelodeon Metalhead.
SirJordy33 and Myself have both made Metalhead figures just recently as well, you might check 'em out for more robot-turtle goodness. SJ33's original version has just made "most talked about" status.
