    First Custom- Robot Monster

    Hello everyone. I stumbled on to this site last month inadvertently while looking for some monster figures. I was totally blown away by all of your work and decided to give it a shot myself. I've never tried this before, but I did some research on the board and this was the result. I've made about nine more figures over the past two weeks, and I will post them in time.

    I do my figures fast and cheap- we have our first baby (Elvis) coming in 7 days so I pumped these guys out and it was so fun. Bodies are from CTVT. I do the heads in Sculpy, but would like to give casting a shot soon. My wife sewed the suit. Without further ado, the most ridiculous character ever to grace the silver screen- The Robot Monster:

    My wife and I have a band called Get Haunted and we have been making 8" figures of characters that appear in the songs, and of classic monsters with our own spin on them. Nice to meet all of you and thank you for the guidance and inspiration.
