last year was all over the place. i think it was the first year i didn't get any customs into the gallery since i started making customs. so most of the unfinished stuff i posted will get updates here. if you are interested here is a link to my 2021 thred.
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=48138

i'm finally bashing on my lanard aliens. adding some revoltech? style joints i've had for many years. they came on a spru in 3 parts that when assembled make a ball joint with two posts. i need to find some more! the big guy here is pieces from 2 alien figures. his neck is the lower waist of another and tail is 2 spliced together. i still might grind on him some, but i want to keep him lanky. when done he will be painted gloss black.










i'm also bashing on my 2nd hiya robocop. i'm using the same type joints as in the alien plus some metal pieces from some keychains. i'm also using fn lower arms and hands. still need to figure some things out, but i'm digging his height.






i rebuilt both my wizards. the dark wizard is on a pop base with cc forearms and unknown hands. my red wizard is now more of a druid and is also on a pop base with sw arms, ij lower legs, bnb hands, and zartan hood. fun fact: both the pop figures came from livevil ,but over a year apart!




my old dark wizard base will be reused as an angel when i find the right wings. thinking it will be painted like statuary and mounted on a pedestal.


this is kind of a resto-mod. something i wouldn't normally do, but i'm thinking i'll put him in my 4sale stuff with other b-n-b items and as he was put together didn't look quite right for a wrestler. i swapped ij feet in where he had boots, some shorter gloved hands, and a marvel rage? head. the bare ankles and logo on his pants were painted over black, but while boil/popping him it started coming off so i scrubbed it back to factory paint.


thanks for looking! i'd love to hear what you think about what i have going.

Great job adding joints to the alien. I've been wanting to do something about Robocops height so I'm interested to see how it turns out. Absolutely love the wizards. Great job all around.

Hoping to see continued progress on your He-Man customs this year.

i really appreciate it! on robocop i need to figure out how to secure the new shoulder joints to his arms. you can see i drilled out the circular shoulder details and have a peg of the joint coming out. i tried to use a lighter and melt the post into a rivet, but these joints won't "melt" like other plastic. a blind pin or some kind of glued on nut will have to be made. all the other connection points are just jammed in drilled out holes so i can tighten them up easily with heatshrink.

i'm also going to try and hollow out the metallic forearms to try and use them over the fn forearms. lastly bigger robo needs a bigger gun so i will need to find something.

i've been struggling to get some creative mojo for a bit now. i pieced these fantasy dio pieces together mostly from my "get rid of" stuff, that's how it usually goes.

i also started a new dragon queen, dragon knight, and an lbc ancient dragon dark majik wizard

throne w/destro

That is fantastic! Keep it going! For a "get rid of" set, it's sure detailed.

thanks 8bitboy!

the "stacked wing" looking pieces are from multiple techno dragons that i made my dragon mounts from. they are some gnarly little wings ,and i had already snipped off all the best spiky bits. they went from my dragon box, to my scrap box, to my free box, then into my pre-trash. while going through my trash box i got the idea to stack them. i have a system.......

the throne is 2 claws and 2 wings from giant/old megablox dragons. i used the same wings for tail rudders on my dragons. base is from a game piece that was on it's way to "pre trash". the only good piece was the skull totem thing. it must be some deco ftom a mcfarlane type figure?

i picked up the 2 giant horns from a halloween clearance a couple years ago. they were on a band to wear as 1/1 horns, and are hollow thin vinyl. they were also on their way to the bin until i thought of adding them to the skylander bases.

i guess i throw this guy in here since i think he will be in my motu subverse.
with 200x panthor


i'm going to try and mod him into a skelo-panthor mount


i've had this "shadow?" bike for years. i was thinking it would be for judge dredd, but i don't know now. my heman stunt double looks pretty good on it.


i swapped my lesser wizards around some. here are all my wizards and magic practicers.

this guy was an lbc serpent king, but i swapped in a new torso and head. now he is a young apprentice.

with his master, the dark lord serpent lbc

w/destro for size

i want to make this a harry potter for my oldest grand, but need to mod or find a better head.

My biggest takeaway from this set are the wizards. I like the bearded wizard the most with Zartan's hoodie. They look so incredible! I was thinking the bike could be a Star Wars item or a modified MOTU item. I don't remember but did they ever have a bike vehicle accessory?

Still teasing the MOTU customs. Can't wait to see your final customs of all of them.
