It's simple. I saw some amazing custom action figures and read all I could about how they are created. The easiest kinds are re-paints requiring a base figure, very little sanding and McGyver-like trickery. My first attempt was to create I-Force from an old Superman figure! He came out really cool, dontcha think? |
I had to try my hand to see if I could accomplish the same thing with Charger, so I started by finding a base figure of Marvel's Aurora, who had roughly the same sexiness, hair and build! I still need to put a collar on her little jacket and add a paint update, but am super-pleased with the results! Click on her for a larger view! |
So, being two for two, I went next for Crossfire, Master of the Ebonox Core! This time an old Cyclops figure was sacrificed to give birth to my next piece. I robbed Cyclops of his visor, ditched his cheap pleather jacket and tore down his boot and arm cuffs adding a fresh paint job and painted grommets for the Crossfire symbols! Voila! |
The other characters are in various stages of becoming ANGEL Corps characters but are underway. Stay tuned for more action figure developments! If anyone wants to take a crack at rendering a cool-looking action figure of ANY of my many characters, I will pump the results and feature the artist right here! |
