    I have totally forgotten about the extensive work that happened to this body.
    Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
    Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

    To do list:
    1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
    1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

          Body looks great so far. Look forward to more pics as it progresses.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

It makes me feel like I could never in a million years do anything that cool, but would love to try it! My hats off to you kind sir!

                  Thanks so much!

                  With all of the amazing in-progress photos of MEGO customizations that have been published on this message board over the years, a picture book is definitely something that should / could happen!

                      She worked out really well! Thanks for asking! "She" (Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman) is still sitting around nude since I have been un-able to get her clothing finished yet. But I'm, gettin' there.

                      Like a lot of folks, I took a MAJOR hit last year in terms of income, and it really slowed down my customizing. But I'm trying to ramp things back up.

                        This is actually a pretty old custom figure (created back in 2003).

                        What this thread covers is the RE-VISIT of this custom action figure when I decided to build him this more poseable body (back in 2009).

                        When he's dressed he looks exactly like this:

                                Very well done! I immediately recognized the use of the Jakks wrestling figures parts as I have a ton myself, left over from my wrestling figure customizing days. I can't wait to see the finished product!
