This custom was about a year in the making. I started it nearly a year ago after getting the Playmates TMNT movie figures and deciding the needed to be displayed with their greatest villain. I found (at the time) a great base figure in a WWE the Rock figure. The face even had similarities to the actual actor. I started with the helmet which was sculpted completely from epoxy, as was the face mask and the claws on his hand. To be movie authentic, I also had to add the scars to his face.

His jump suit was made from fabric and dusted with silver spray paint. I used strips of electrical tape for the wraps around his hands and legs. I used epoxy again for his gauntlets, shoulder pads, and shin guards. Now, the part that drew completion out so long was the spikes on his arms, legs, and shoulders. I couldn't find a way to mold them all symmetrical (no access to a 3D printer) and had a very difficult time finding anything that would work in the amount I needed. I finally found a specific shape of disposable dental pick that could be cut to what I needed. It wasn't exactly the shape I wanted, but it was close enough. Unfortunately, I didn't have the amount required and I couldn't find them at any stores anymore. I did a search on ebay and found the type I needed would have to be ordered from China. Lol. In the end, I got the picks and finished my figure.
