    Bullseye - First Completed Custom

    Hello everyone. I just finished up my first custom figure, Bullseye. Head is from eBay and painted by me. Body is a ZICA Type S. Bodysuit, hands, and boots are from CTVT. Neck piece, gauntlets, belt, and trim are by me. I've always wanted this guy in my collection and am pretty happy with the way he turned out. This will be the first of many customs; safe to say I'm addicted now. I have a Punisher, Harley Quinn, and Silver Surfer in the works now as well. Thanks for looking.

                Looks factory produced. I'd call that a homerun debut!

                              Thanks! It's my first completed figure from head to toe, it's the second head I painted. I did this Punisher head several weeks back, so I had a little practice. I tried using a CTVT suit on a Type S body for him, but I ended up having to remove the feet from the body to get a decent fit up top; didn't really want to cut the seam at the feet. It wasn't an issue with Bullseye due to the neck piece covering the exposed flesh at the top of the CTVT suit. Figured I'd do it up right, so I've got some bodysuits on order from Brian Leitner now, and I want to make a custom belt and some holsters to finish him up.
