Kup Custom Transformers Animated Generation One Figure by Shinobitron

Shinobitron pays homage to a classic figure from the 1980's and finds a new way to use the Optimus Prime mold from the latest series with his Custom Transformers Animated Kup figure. What a great idea to use Prime's animated figure as a base for this one as the vintage Kup takes on the almost the same design. The head sculpt is updated and reflects Kup's age in a more dignified and refined look. At first glance, the head looks like it could belong on top of Panthro from the Thundercats but maybe Shinobitron will make another crossover figure in the future (a Thundercat/Transformers crossover is not likely but I would not put it past him...he has made some crossover figures in the past with his latest being a Custom Batman/Transformers crossover I wrote about a few weeks ago but I digress). The colors are spot on as this Kup has a nice powder blue like the classic figure. I have said it before and I will say it again, Shinobitron is the Man when it comes to G1 Customs and he is always thinking a step ahead and seeing what he can make and is not afraid of a challenge.

Prowler Custom Marvel Legends Figure by Loosecollector

Straight from the pages of the Amazing Spider Man comic, where he made his debut, comes Loosecollector's Custom Marvel Legends Prowler figure. The paint aps gives this figure depth while providing a comic accurate likeness to Prowler. The deep green body really makes the emblem stand out on his chest and the the shade of purple that was used really compliments the rest of the figure. One aspect of this figure that is noteworthy is the head sculpt. The way that the head was crafted and painted, it appears that Prowler can take on different looks depending on the light and how the head is angled. The mouth is perfectly positioned and the eyes are neutral, making the figure able to be interpreted several different ways.

This figure would be a great addition to your Marvel Legends collection so place a bid on Loosecollector's Custom Prowler figure today!

Custom Punch Counterpunch Transformers Universe Genration One Figure Jin Saotome

Jin Saotome has captured the classic feel of a 1980's Transformers favorite with his Custom Punch Counterpunch G1 Transformers Universe figure. Part of being able to capture that feel are the colors used to create this figure. The yellows and the blues are dead on and the most unique aspect about this custom is that it is essentially two figures in one. Jin goes on to describe more about this unique custom:

"Punch is an Autobot, Counterpunch is a Decepticon, but they're the same being! Confused? Not as much as the Decepticons will be when this Doublespy infiltrates their ranks. Punch/Counterpunch can be transformed into two completely different robots, just like his G1 form could. Just a few extra twists and turns will change Punch into his alter-ego Counterpunch. He (they?) have been painted with rich semigloss colors, bright highlights, and sealed to protect against wear."
