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. |
