One of my favorite things to do as a kid was spend hours and hours playing the original Nintendo system (NES).  The game that stole many hours of my childhood away was the Legend of Zelda and Grinmankey has done an excellent job creating this Custom Marvel Legends Legends of Zelda Link figure.  The head sculpt really brings out the character of the figure and the ears and the hair are of special note.  Let’s learn more about how this great figure was made:

It’s LINK from the extremely popular video game “The Legend of Zelda”! This particular version of Link is how he appears in the newest version of the game subtitled “The Twilight Princess”. Link is one of my favorite characters of all time and I love making figures of him. This is my second (and MUCH better) custom of Link and it hurts to sell them. With this figure you’ll get everything shown in the pictures. Both sword and scabbards are included and are interchangeable with the mounting on Link’s back. The highly detailed shield is also included. I use citadel brand paints for all my painting needs and Aves Apoxie sculpt for the sculpted details. The figure itself is taken from Marvel Legends figures, SOTA figures and other random fodder. This would be the perfect addition to any video game fan’s action figure collection. It also fits in with the Marvel Legends and DC figures in scale

To ring in the upcoming launch of the new Capcom game, Bionic Commando, Jin has diligently replicated one of the coolest video game figures in Marvel Legends style with his Custom Bionic Commando figure. 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.”

Bigtado has recruited an ace in the hole to join to the fight for freedom with his Custom Splinter Cell GI Joe Sam Fisher cross over figure. This figure is very nicely detailed and the signature night vision goggles add the realism to this classic video game character. For those not familiar with Sam Fisher, here is a little more background: As a covert agent of the government, Fisher approaches his target objectives in a gruff, no-nonsense manner, but maintains a light-hearted relationship with his colleagues and even with his momentary hostages (even if he is going to kill them) . Fisher has little patience for government bureaucracy or political maneuvering.

TheFlesk’s Custom Samus Master Chief Metroid/Halo crossover figure brings 2 great classic gaming icons together in one awesome figure! First released in 1986, Metroid was one of the first NES that sucked all of the time from my adolescent life. Fast forward to 2001 where Halo makes gaming history and once again sucks all of my time, now, from my adult life. This figure is nicely done as it blends both aspects of Samus and the Master Chief. Combining the classic colors of Metroid with the fighting armor of Halo makes for a custom that I am sure will be very sought after.
