WOW those are some fantastic customs,, They have a lot of detail and the painting is great.. I'm sure you spend a lot of money on them But it looks like it's worth it. I wish I could do customs like that, with all the customs he gets made im sure he spends a bundle and a half lol but yeah the customs are very well done and are very articulate as well, they also look like they have alot more play ability some what then some of my customs

I would say about 70% of my customs can pose with no problem and 15% are slightly delicate but can be posed easily and 15% are really delicate and I have to watch out when moving them. Whats cool about that 70% is that about 45% of it can be played with like a toy and nothing happens with them because of the different paint from outside of US that some of the guys use, it's more durable because it bonds to the plastic.

They're illegal in the US so that's why they're only sold out of US and don't export. It's pretty close to industrial paint. Remember China and other countries have different guildlines than here so they can use more hazardous paints & materials.

I got a new picture with the Etrigan shoulderballs I sent but Levit05 found different arms that seem to work better. They're ML Bishop arms.

Yeah, like he should. Warpath is a 7'2" character so I wanted something that represents that plus I didn't want to wait for hasbro to release him and its a birthday present.

I got a update from my friend Dustin on Warpath (Shi'ar storyline), Moonstone "Ms. Marvel", Ant-Man. Warpath: Moonstone: Ant-Man: Info: -He has plenty of Despero arms and Bishops so he popped some new ones on him, and he'll save the X-Force styled ones for when we get to him. -He's got some styrene and a fresh layer of clay curing on the new parts. -He'll tinker with the shirt and pants to make them like Tan's drawings. -Moonstone is ready to paint. -These pics should give a clearer view of Ant-Man.

Two new commissions: Here's 1st new commission by the really good painter raydiamon. He's currently making a Nick Fury from the Secret Warriors/Secret Invasion as well as a Frank Cho inspired Tigra. He's making a set of new straps for the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent since the originals went to Fury. He's going to paint one head for the shield body; Clay Quartermain, and repaint the Sharon Carter & Maria Hill heads for me. Now, onto the pictures. Tigra, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent (new strap), Nick Fury (Secret Warriors/Secret Invasion): Base bodies used for customs, Fury: Tigra: Tigra reference pictures: Info: -Nick Fury's head is pretty close to what he did originally, though the beard's slightly darker. -He did the base construction and filled the gaps for Tigra, and set my agent up with some webgear to match the female agents. -Is going to paint the webgear white. -He'll have to get back to me on the cigar for Fury. Trying to figure out what material to make it out of so it won't chip the paint. Also he needs to figure out what a cigar looks like anyways since he gets the feeling it's going to look like he rolled a 1:12 scaled doobie if he gets it wrong. -He's going to start on the Clay Quartermain head. -He'll probably start on the Carter/Hill heads as well. Here's the 2nd new custom commission, Conan (mix of classic Marvel and modern) by craarl: Conan: Base Figure: Info: -Still has alot to go. Recipe: Head - Slightly shrunken/resculpted casting of the McFarlane boxset King Conan Hair- LCBH Conan hair Left Hand - SOTA Guile hand Right Forearm & Left forearm - ? Boots - Conan Boots (?) Lioncloth - Mattel's King Greyskull (just temporary) = NECA's Conan lioncloth (will be the final one)
