My custom/mods...

[SeattleEd]

So here are some of my custom/mods I've made in the last 4 years. Nice day out so I thought I would take pics out on the deck. They may not be the greatest but it's just a hobby I enjoy very much.



First up, my latest I finished yesterday. Black Spidey.
T1 body, mod T1 dyed black hands, painted head.
Outfit all done via hand by me.Two different fabrics. Emblem by me.






Next is my version of Green Latern.
Made this one early 2008. T1 body. Head is copy of Lily GL I got from Laurie My paints.
Boots are real MEGO from Antiquetiger. Gloves are from Wes McCue. Ring I made from a thin mousepad. Outfit all done via hand by me. Logo sticker from the Doc. Box, not pictured, by Anothony.




Captain America. Made this one in 2007. T1 body. Head, Cowl, Boots and Shield from the Doc. Gloves from Wes McCue. Belt by me. Outfit is a modified original MEGO. Emblems by me. Box, not pictured, but made by Anthony.




The Batman. Made this one in early 2007. T1 body. Head is original MEGO. Cowl, short and belt from the Doc. Suit by Brian Leitner. Gloves by Wes McCue. Boots are original skinny AJ Fisherman from Flynne. Pouches are from Austin at Reproheads. Emblem and cape by me.
Logo and cape were done by me.




Thank you to all that helped me with this amazing hobby.
I have more so I might post them up later.
Thanks for looking.

Cheers

Ed,

Those are really awesome. They're kinda different and I dig when someone does their own, personal take on a character. I especially like the Cap and of course, The Batman!
Beautiful figures!

Pretty cool customs, really dig the Cap. Glad to see more people taking outdoor pics, too.

[AJ Collector]

Nice stuff....Spidey is cool!

[SeattleEd]

Thanks for the compliments, guys.
It's not for everyone but it's a start. Like I said, just a hobby.

Jason, I live on lower Queen Anne/Uptown. About 6 blocks from Seattle Center.

Sandy, I agree. That's what I enjoy looking at all the customs on here. Everyone has a unique style and view on characters. Keeps it interesting and the banality at bay.

I like them all...but you know I"m partial to that black spidey. Very cool what you did to him.

Very nice work, it's always good to see new takes , by new customizers.

Hey, Interesting Customs And Some Great Ideas, Keep On The Good Job!

[Captain]

Great work! Really like that you went your own way a bit here...as you said it keeps things interesting!
That spidey is really neat. Like the shiny fabric (vinyl?)..it gives the suit a metallic, almost alien look. Really unique!!!

[Meule]

Even tho these are characters that have been done before I like the fact that you gave 'em all a unique twist, something personal. Job well done

[SeattleEd]

Agreed.
The way I see it is every toy company is like a customizer, they bring in change or perspective on the take of a character when releasing a line or that particular character. Some folks may like it while others may abhor it but it's their right to do so. We are all critics in one form or another. It's inherent in all of us to one degree or another.
I just like seeing how other artist view characters and make their creations. It's no different than painting. Customization is an art form.
It's interesting in this day and age how we are able to make toys now that the technology is in our hands and no longer to major companies. I never thought when I was a kid playing with Megos or action figures that I have that technology at my disposal.
My daughter is learning to make toys and not buy them. It's more fun when you make a toy the way you want it. Not to mention it makes it more personal.
Thanks again for the feedback.
All customizers on here are truly inspirational and brilliant.

Nice work. Cool thing about this hobby is the chance to express ones self. Allows you to interject your own style and yours is pretty cool.
