    Custom of the Week - 9/3/2012

    Better late than never - this week the spotlight falls on danadoll's continuation of his Mego take on the classic LJN D&D toy line. Zarak looks ready for production, and I'd certainly spring for one of these if I saw it on the pegs. Keep 'em coming!









    See the original thread here:

    Yay! I finally finished another of my Dungeons & Dragons customs. I was stuck for a while on what head to use for him, but I settled on the Mad Monster devil head, so here is Zarak the half-orc assassin... A look at the repainting I did.. The '80s LJN figure for comparison:

    I haven't been terribly active (customizing and/or posting) in a while (I apologize), school has kept me very busy, but I recently started customizing again, I was very inspired by yokaijohn's D&D customs from a while back (Nice work, YJ!). I used a chain mail suit, Ivanhoe helmet, black pirate boots, a black sword belt

                    Long overdue, in my opinion. These d&d figures rock and really take me back!

                    Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

                      So, so well deserved for spotlight. I'd really like to see some group shots of the line so far. Those are just terrific figures and very inspired.
                      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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