About Me: I have been an avid toy collector ever since I was a kid. My favorite toy lines are Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe. I decided to make a website called www.actionfigurecustoms.com to capture all of the customs that are being bought and sold on eBay. I hope everyone finds it useful and please email me with any questions or if you have a custom you would like me to blog about, let me know!

Custom Transformers Minibot Beachcomber G1 Figure by Shinobitron

Second in Shinobitron's minibot collection, he pays hommage to a Generation 1 Classic with his Custom Transformers Minibot Beachcomber. Repurposing a Transformers Cybertron Scout Class Swindle (or Hardtop) figure, he has created a Beachcomber figure that is very in line with its Generation 1 counterpart. Here is some more information about how Shinobitron has made this classic come to life:

"Beachcomber has been upgraded with great articulation and fully detailed exterior and interior. Beachcomber has been detailed with his classic color scheme, but the detailing doesn't end there. Along with being given multiple shades of blue and silvers his mirrors, lights, and robotics have all been detailed. Beachcomber didn't carry a weapon but used rays from his hands, however i did somethign for us G1 fans. I gave beachcomber interchangable hands to switch between normal and his electrum covered hand that he got in the episode The Golden Lagoon!"

In the Golden Lagoon Episode, Beachcomber discovers a lagoon of Electrum (some kind of laser-proof powder coating), in a very beutifull forest. The Decepticons will try to take this in their advantage, the Autobots will try to stop them and, finally, Beachcomber will try to avoid the battle in the beutifull forest. Shinobitron's Custom G1 Beachcomber is available on eBay so place your bid early to get this great figure!
