Hey everyone, I haven't posted much of anything in nearly a year (insert long unimportant story to explain my absence here, whatever you come up with will surely be better than my version.) I have managed to begin working on customs from my list of things to do from last year. Those of you who are still waiting just hold on a little longer. I have put out a few for Hugh first as he has posted. There are three or four in various stages for others that I will have wrapped up soon but I felt it important to set them aside for just a few more days and give back to the community first. This years offering is the Vulture.

OK, the cool thing about this guy that you don't get from the pics is that I use a Fonzie body and switch out the hands so when you spread out the arms right and play with the lever in back, he kinda flaps his wings. I've also thought about drilling a small hole in the lever, it would be a great place to attach a string so he could be hung in a flying pose but I forgot to actually drill the hole yet again.

Till next time, take care all!

WOW!
Vulture looks real real good!
Looking forward to seeing him "LIVE" at the Mego Meet.
I may just bid on him myself.

Did you post this along time ago? I distinctly remember seeing this custom posted somewhere on some board. If not, probably someone else must have used the same method. I usually remember things I see that are really awesome and I know I have seen this awesome custom before. I love it!

Dear Wrath,

This is the forth or fifth vulture I've made. They are all pretty much the same. The first one didnt have the fonzie body and the first few were made using Iron on transfers, Before I figured out my method for printing on cloth. You've probably seen one of the previous ones posted here. & Thanks, Im glad it was impressive enough to lodge itself in your memory.

Yes. When people make good customs, especially ones of villains or heroes I like it is hard to get them out of my memory of fame. :grin:

Agreed. Vulture looks totally awesome and I'd love to see him flap his wings

Ed delivered this to me yesterday and I posted it in the auction thread, although I admit it was hard. I was impressed when I saw it, but when I noticed the flapping wings action, I wanted to keep it for myself. :biggrin:

Love it. Very clever using the Fonz body.
Looks spot on.

I have to check to see if I still have the master file (I lost some in the computer change over and this is an older design) but if I find the master file for this:

I will donate the box for your custom and the auction.

Ed, I absolutlely ADORE that villain to start...so, of course you know I think your take
on him is KILLER being that I love your custom work so much---also, the "inked" suit
looks great---I love my iron-on version, but still will be QUITE jealous of the winner of
THAT baby :) Great, great job!

Good God, man! This is a tremendous custom! I love the presentation and your choice of materials (especially the fur collar).

I think I would probably go into some sort of fan-boy siezure if I ever saw this figure going up against John's awesome Spiderman.

Bravo, bra-VO... bravisimo!!!!!
