Matthew Jaycox Customs

 
 
Dr. Strange: This was the first ever custom I did. I have since improved the tailoring on his clothes several times as my sewing skills have improved over the past few years. The head is a recast modified Kraven the Hunter from Toy Biz's 10-inch line. Works rather well in my opinion. The Eye of Amagaddo amulet is just a fancy button from Mystic Plains of So-Fro Fabrics.
 
Red Skull: Red Skull came from a Human torch head which I cast. While the Sculpey which I pressed into the mold was still soft, I pressed in the nose and eyes. I sculpted the teeth separately and then glued them in. Costume is an original sewing job with boots from a Rookies figure. Medallions ad buttons came from Super Sculpey.
 
Namor: One of the easiest and most favorite customs of mine. Namor's body is an LJN Rookies body to make him look more buff, the head is a recast modified sculpture of Will Scarlet with Spock ears. Ankle wings are vinyl and posable, attached to a wire that passes through the lower leg. Article coming soon.

La Tarantula: One of my favorite Spidey villians. I've always thought he was underated, but apparently some people didn't because they ressurected him in the late 80's after killing him off about 10 years earlier. And he even made it onto the animated series. I made the spider design on his suit using fabric markers and his mask is just a pullover spandex mask that I made and fitted onto the head of a repainted Klingon. This box is a perfect example of what I talk about in my article where, for authenticity's sake, I purposely weather my boxes to make them look real. I also put a price sticker on this one. I like the garish colors of th box. Reminds me of the color scheme for the Green Goblin.
