HypnoHustler pointed out that the new Rogue One Imwe figure looked like Nic Cage. I'd planned to do a National Treasure custom or something but then I spotted this motorcross figure at Walmart that seemed to be so many geek nods at once, Captain Johnny Blaze, the evil Daredevil Red Skull...with a cape.

I was unpacking the office at home and totally not customizing. An xacto saw happened to fall on this figures neck and cut it off. I absolutely did not drill a hole into the neck post or jam a HACKS neck dumbell in it. That would be crazy because I was unpacking boxes.

Meanwhile my intern/apprentice aka my daughter, coincidentally setup the stunt ramp for pictures while unpacking her play room.

Fun!

I hate to say this, but I could find a use for a Nick Cage head.

And I have to hit TRU for the kid's stockings tonight anyway, so I'll be looking for that figure.

fun stuff. How did you do the extra flame effect? PS?

Love how in the perspective shot the cars down below make it seem like he's super high up, rather than looking off scale.

Yes. First we tried slowmo video and rolling it down the ramp. Even in slowmo it was too grainy and fell more than rolled. Next we tried practical effects. She tied twine to the back tire and used red playdoh to keep it balanced but to also look like flames. Someone had recommended the EyeCandy app (.99 in the apple store) a while ago and I checked it out just for a smoke effect but liked out this looked.

That was all her besides the rescue crew off to the side. She couldn't find her Hotwheels track (still packed) or there would have been a loop and a flame hoop too.
