The Austin looks great. I really enjoy all your work and you've influenced me to try my hand at LJN customs. Next paycheck, I'll be restocking my figure supplies and trying some out. If they look half as good as yours, I'll be thrilled. Hope all is well!

Nice work on the website and your custom card backs are amazing! I started to try that a while back but gave up but it seems like you figured it out. Do you plan on making custom carded figures in the future, or at least creating custom card backs and selling them? I'm sure you'd have some buyers out there for that. If not carded figures, you could probably create the card backs to go along with your custom figs for display.
Nice work on Stone Cold too. I'm guessing you used decals? The lettering and skull look real good.

Mesteve, sorry for the delay. I did use decals! It feels a little bit like "cheating" but the crisp look when it comes to text and logos is too hard to pass up! And your question about custom cards is going to get answered in my next post...
Nick Maniwa, I hope you give LJN customs a try! Post pics if you do.

I've searched high and low for a way to replicate the original MOC style of LJN figures for my customs. After coming to the conclusion that technology and resources wouldn't allow it to happen, I stumbled upon what I think is a great backup option. I found a company in China that will produce relatively inexpensive clear PVC cases. We nailed now a size that would work for virtually every size figure without being too big for the smaller figured. After a week of waiting for shipping, the cases finally arrived. I've started to get everything organized, print out cards on get the first few ready to display. Here is a look...   |

To be honest, your packaging is better than the og style. I like the big boxed look. I would love to see a new unique card art graphic though. You guys should have something that would be representative of a new ljn series. Yall have better details, and the old cards are so bland.

Ps. The 3d comic-esque parts on the clothes, make them something really fun to look at. Excellent job.

I'm really impressed you had the awesome cards printed up. Even the repaint of the Iron Sheik in your packaging is really cool.

Packaging ready for Series 3. Putting the finishing touches on the figures and should be on track to release next week! The Greg Valentine figure is probably our favorite we have done to this point. Can't wait to post pictures of it...  |

So as a general concept I've never "loved" LJN customs from the ones I've seen, with that said, I'd amend it quickly now. These really are fantastic man, you do some really awesome work on these. Pretty creative how you went about packaging them as well as the real bubble style of LJN's would have been hard to replicate. Great mix of generations too, really really cool stuff dude…..keep rockin.
