Here's a custom I made for Viper for a contest. He wanted a Hellboy hero or villain. I didn't want to retread any ground so I made something I haven't tackled before. Having the big figure helped as reference.

Alien -

That is drop dead gorgeous, I think I'm a little jealous of Viper.

Very cool work mate, you should send all the pics of your Hellboy customs to Mezco and tell them we want our Hellboy toys in 1:18th. scale and it's possible, but then you wouldn't have much to make then....


Seriously awesome job.

frickin' fantastic DH! well done --

now, what's the story on that head? you sculpt that, or is starting from something else?

very nice translation in size, you did good forsure

It's an awesome figure, even more impressive in person. Marcus certainly knocked it out of the park & I got a character I didn't previously know about. Much win.

I don't know what you guys are talking about - that's not an action figure...




It's a work of freaking art. Hot damn, that's awesome!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I always liked Alien. He was sent to kill Hellboy in order to save the world from the apocolypse, but witnessed HB be a hero and found he couldn't do it. He's in my favourite HB story - the conquerer worm.

The whole figure is black Spidey apart from the hands - one is a MkVI IM, and the other is Zartan.

The pipes on his back are PotF2 Sandtrooper rifle barrels. They are identical to the big figure.

I completely sculpted the head. I usually absolutely suck at heads, but this turned out ok. I made the eyes a bit bigger by accident, but made the neck bolts bigger because I thought they looked more alien-y.

The weapon is from Broken Arrow toys with the end bit sculped on.

The shoulderpad is attched with a twist tie drilled in so it can move freely and not hinder movement.
The whole thing is 100% playable.

This does not fail to impress. Marcus your work was topnotch as always. Viper has to be proud to have this in his collection.

I like him a lot especially the weapon. I wish you would have sculpted over the abs though. It is the only thing that sticks out to me. Probably because you did such a phenomenal job on everything else.

Heh, I'm kinda embarassed now I've got the figure he sent me. The Alien is tiny by comparison.
