      I'm not the best judge of what my most successful stuff was so I'll throw out a few I really ended up liking, which doesn't happen often.


      Solomon Grundy - This was sort of an accidental piece as I used this head for a painting demo at Mego Meet without really planning on making a full figure. Turned out I had all the right parts, so I threw it together.





      Tales From Ultra City - This group shot of my original book characters turned out pretty neat. When assembled they really compliment each other quite well. Individually they are hit or miss, but grouped like this and they stand out much better.



      Marvelman - I went outside of my normal comfort zone and made a figure of a character I was unfamilliar with. I thought he was visually impressive and wanted to do a Mego-scale version.
      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

            This is a great thread.I like seeing what all the customizers here are most proud of doing during the past year.I hope more people post their favorite customs.My favorites of whats been posted so far,Megospidey's Manthing custom is really mindblowingly cool!Magyar1964,your Zatanna rocks bid time!Palitoy,love the paints on the phantom head,i'm envious!Cmonster,your monster customs are dead on perfect and i cant decide which of those i like the best,so i'm going with my favorite of yours as the removable helmet Urko(which i'am the proud owner of) Just because i'm an apenut,first.Blackknight,Your Yoda Rules!!! RandomAxe,your paints never cease to amaze,Solomon Grundys is out of the park amazing paint.Your original customs are really in a league of their own,very imaginative and out of the box stuff! I did a handful of custom figures this year,half of which were reworks of previous customs.I redid Indiana Jones,General Ursus and my Soldier Ape(not happy with any of them yet).I also did a Han Solo that needs work yet,lol.The two custom figures i'm happiest and most proud of this year are Bossk and Rambo,Rambo was an original head sculpt which actually looked good.Bossk was an original head sculpt plus 15+original acc.,lol.

                For whatever my customizing opinion is worth, Bossk gets my vote for custom of the year. Every facet of this is perfection, and all of the hand sculpting is inspired. I'd really like to see you do more work, dude.

                    Love that Grundy, Axe. And that Bossk, Piecemaker is perfect.

                      I did not have time to do much this year, being back to work. But I was able to do a few.

                      Updated my custom body by slimming down the legs. It still retains all its poseability and can do everthing a Marvel legends body can.







                      I did a slimmer Steve Ditko version of Spider-Man.





                      I added the Scorpion to my Spidey collection.





                      I added a Benico Del Toro Wolfman to my Universal monsters.



                      Finally, I went back and resculpted my Man-Wolf head to make him look even meaner.

                          You guys are all so amazing. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I hope the coming year is creative and inspiring for you all.

                          2011 was all Lost for me. I did a Dharma Jeep this year.

                          And finished my Swan Station.
