Shockwave Custom Transformers Generation 1 Figure by BoskoestoysPosted by Mig on Thursday, July 3, 2008 @ 5:04 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe Boskoestoys have outdone themselves once again and paid a really nice homage to a 1980's legends with their Custom Transformers Generation 1 Shockwave figure. Made from a Transformers Classics Megatron, Boskoestoys has taken that mold to the next level. The head sculpt is great and really captures Shockwave's G1 look. Another aspect that captures the Generation 1 feel is the color as Boskoestoys was able to replicate a very close match to the original scheme with the nice addition of color variation. Shockwave come jammed packed with some really cool accessories, some which may surprise you! For example, Shockwave comes with a cool Lightsaber (yes you read that correctly), an Energon Axe, 7 different left hand attachments (fit in and out on a sturdy bionical type plug system, attachment port flips out of left forarm, and back in for transformation), a lightning rod, and the large base. Boskoestoys Custom Transformers G1 Shockwave can be yours by placing a bid on their eBay item page!Labels: boskoestoys, Custom Transformers, G1, Generation 1, Shockwave, Transformers Custom Venom Spawn Statue by NTTPosted by Mig on Wednesday, July 2, 2008 @ 11:04 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe NTT has something completely different in store for his fans! He took two popular comic characters and as he said "put them in a blender" and out came his Custom Venom Spawn statue. I take it the blender is his imagination but when you look at the figure, Venom and Spawn are in a Tango for the upper hand. Capturing the essence of Venom and Spawn in a battle, NTT has gone above and beyond creating this masterpiece. I love the way the arms protrude from the statue, giving it a feel of dire struggle. He must have used every sculpting trick in the book and if you read his write up on his page on FigureRealm, it sure looked like it. Here is an exerp from NTT on how he sculpted this great piece:"This custom had its share of difficulties, like trying to balance the arms to look animated but still be able to fit together well on top of the Spawn figure without looking lopsided. But the hardest part was trying to attach one of the fangs around Spawn's mouth. All the other teeth (toothpick tips) glued on without a fight but for some reason, the 4th fang from the left, just wouldn't adhere and kept falling off!"  This just goes to show you that making quality customs is not easy and it takes skill, talent, devotion, and sweat to pull them off! You can find this great piece on eBay, where you can own this great statue by placing a bid for NTT's Custom Venom Spawn!

There are a few aspects about this custom that make this outstanding! First, Jin was able to sculpt the hair and facial features in a very realistic way, which is a tough thing to pull off on a plastic toy. Second, the way the bionic appendages flow into the body looks like these were surgically implanted into the figure. He has achieved an awesome bionic look and feel with the way the machinery is sculpted and painted. The flexible piping and cords add to that realism and also give the figure the ability to aim in any direction you like. I threw in a reference picture from game as a comparison: Jin goes on to describe this great figure in more detail: "Bionic Commando is back with an all-new look! This figure is based on Capcom's upcoming remake of Bionic Commando. He has a super realistic paint job with faded cloth colors, deep shadows, tanned skin highlights, and some great metallic features on his arm and legs. Check out his facial features and the tiny logo on his t-shirt, all painted freehand. His bionic arm features flexible piping and cords so you can aim his arm all different directions. Attach the bendable grappling cord and he can grab on to things or hang from objects. The clawed fingers move individually as well. This figure is scaled 6" to match your existing Marvel Legends figures, not 7" like the Player Select figures." This awesome Custom Marvel Legends Bionic Commando figure can be yours by heading over to eBay and placing your bid! Don't miss out on this one!Labels: Bionic Commando, Capcom, Custom Marvel Legends, Custom Video Game Figures, Jin Saotome, Marvel Legends Mindwipe with Vorath Custom Transformers Headmaster Generation 1 Figure by ShinobitronPosted by Mig on Monday, June 30, 2008 @ 7:12 AM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe Shinbitron is not afraid to take on a challenge and he proves this week after week, especially with his latest Custom Headmaster Transformers Generation 1 Mindwipe and Vorath figures.

Here is a little more insight into his creation from Shinobitron himself: "So I decided to take a stab at another one of the lovely Headmasters this time a Decep. I chose Mindwipe cause he was a cool Vampire bat that could control your mind! Mindwipe of course doesn't come alone and comes with his partner Vorath.
