Sam Fisher Splinter Cell Custom GI Joe 25th Anniversary Figure by bigtado

Bigtado has recruited an ace in the hole to join to the fight for freedom with his Custom Splinter Cell GI Joe Sam Fisher cross over figure. This figure is very nicely detailed and the signature night vision goggles add the realism to this classic video game character. For those not familiar with Sam Fisher, here is a little more background: As a covert agent of the government, Fisher approaches his target objectives in a gruff, no-nonsense manner, but maintains a light-hearted relationship with his colleagues and even with his momentary hostages (even if he is going to kill them) . Fisher has little patience for government bureaucracy or political maneuvering.

American Dream Custom Marvel Legends Figure by boskoestoys

Boskoestoys is heating up the Custom Marvel Legends figures with their American Dream figure. The sculpting and detailing is top notch! The hair looks like it is flowing in the wind and extends naturally from the helmet, which is uniquely sculpted like she is portrayed in comics and sketches. The colors are spot on and pay a nice homage to the Captain America feel of this figure.

American Dream is in peak physical condition for a non-powered human, and is a skilled martial artist. She has disc weapons similar to those used by Ricochet and has terrific aim. Later she was given a duplicate of Captain America's shield (more accurately, the shield itself from another dimension), and she uses it well (both defensively and offensively). Bid on this awesome Custom Marvel Legends American Dream figure by boskoestoys.

Custom Stealth Iron Man Marvel Legends Figure by Central Cali Customs

Complete with sound and blasters fire, Central Cali Customs (C3) brings this Custom Stealth Iron Man Marvel Legends figure to life. Like will all customs from C3, he pours his heart, soul, and talent into his works of art. I like the way the paint aps make this figure look like it is metallic. The helmet is also removable, which makes a really nice feature. Under the mask, the facial tone is a nice flesh color. This custom also has an interesting story, which I will let C3 describe in detail:

"Here is the story behind him. A week ago, I went through my bench work and usually clean up some un useful stuff. Then I found this repulsor Iron Man without the head and was ready to throw it away. I thought that I had no use for it. Then all of sudden, there is a little voice that says.....it could be customized rather than throwing it away. Then I found a head for him, so here you have it. He was hand painted multiple times with the glossy blue to depict his armor. His head was modified so that he could look up more than the original. The helmet is detachable; I personally love when he takes off his helmet (mask) as it looks like one of the statue. He also comes with his blaster blue fire when he's taking off (they are detachable). All of his sounds are working perfectly as he's taking off."

Custom Tony Stark Iron Man Marvel Legends Style Figure by CREG Customs

CREG has taken a different angle on the Iron Man customs with his version of Tony Stark depicting the "Yeah, I can fly" test sequence from the movie. This custom, with the amount of detailing and sculpting, far exceeds most Iron Man customs on eBay. What sets this custom apart from the others is that it is not a straight up Iron Man custom and the sculpting of the various parts flows nicely together. For example, the machinery on the arms flows up the biceps, giving the illusion that the figure is wearing the apparatus. The paint aps are nicely executed on the figure and compliment the depth and detail of the sculpting.

I would highly recommend that everyone head over to eBay and check out CREG's Custom Marvel Legends Tony Stark figure.

Barricade Custom Transformers Movie Figure by Jin Saotome

The custom transformers section on eBay has been a bit quiet but Jin has woken it up with his Custom Transformers Movie Barricade figure. Some of the things I really like about about Jin's customs are his quest to make it accurate, his attention to detail, and the quality and craftsmanship is light years beyond most. For example, in this Barricade figure, he has added a ball joint to the head, claws, and an LED kit so that the police lights work. My favorite part about this custom are the claws. I know it is a really small detail to be excited about but the original hands on the Barricade figure bugged me (well, most of the figure bugged me as it was not very movie accurate to begin with).

Custom Marvel Legends Minotaur Figure by DayYote

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature that was part man and part bull. It dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur. DayYote brings this mythic creature to life with his Custom Marvel Legends Minotaur figure. The detailing on this figure is a site to be seen and held. The sculpting and the paint washing techniques give this figure true depth and realism. Here is how DayYote describes how he created this wonderful beast:

"My Minotaur has been painted and sculpted with the finest materials. Aves apoxie sculpt,golden airbrush paint,and vallejo paint were all used in the creation of this masterpiece. Not only the finest materials but also the finest techniques were used also in the creation process. I applied a lot of sculpting, airbrush, paint washes, paint layers, dry brushing, and leather work. I even made my own battle axe. The Minotaur started out as a legendary heroes Pitt with everything being hand made. Original design of the armor came to me in my dream with a huge monster wearing armor that had huge teeth. A monster within a monster."

Custom Star Wars Imperial Tie Fighter by Vintage Scum

Vintage Scum has a very cool twist on one of my favorite Star Wars vehicles with his Custom Star Wars Imperial Tie Fighter. One of the aspects I really like about this custom is the wing design. The wing have an aerodynamic flair to them with the flat pieces in the middle of craft. The cockpit is very different as it protrudes from the front but it still retains the classic imperial look and feel of all of the classic Star Wars vehicles. This is why I made this website! It is talented customizers that keep their imagination flowing, which keeps me writing and writing. Let's hear how Vintage Scum describes this one of a kind vehicle:

"Here we have a custom tie fighter for the 3 3/4 scale. The tie fighter has been painted and weathered to give it a "battle worn" look. Acrylic model paints were used with a finishing dull coat. The entry/exit hatch is one piece. The custom tie pilot is also included. He is articulate only at the neck, shoulders, waist and upper thighs (again made from figs of the potf2 line). His blastech e-11 is included but not shown in the pix. The 4 round torpedo magazine below the canopy can be removed if desired. The flaps on the magazine open and close. The stand is also included. The tie is built pretty sturdy and may be handled just be careful if you place the pilots hands on the steering mechanism."

Iron Man Custom Marvel Legends Sigma Six Cross Over Figure by Jin Saotome

The Iron Man customs are heating up on eBay and their is very good reason! Typically, there is a surge of character specific customs that land on eBay before and after the launch of a killer movie. The 2007 Transformers Movie and the 2008 Iron Man movies have given customizers a great canvas to demonstrate their creativity. That said, I would like to focus attention to a really cool cross over figure done by Jin Saotome. Jin has created a hybrid Marvel Legends Sigma Six Iron Man that looks like it could belong in both worlds of Marvel and GI Joe. This Iron Man figure has retained the unique style of the Sigma Six GI Joe line and has married the aspects that make Iron Man a force to recon with. The colors really compliment figure and you can clearly identify this as an Iron Man figure and the black washing really brings out the detail. This blend of worlds has really come together into a great looking figure and boy is this auction hot! To read more about this awesome custom, head over to Jin's auction and see how red hot this figure is getting!

Namor The Sub Mariner Custom Marvel Legends Figure by Michael Amore

Not satisfied with either ML version of Namor, Michael Amore has risen to the occasion and created a work of art with his Custom Marvel Legends Namor figure. One of the aspects about this custom that makes this unique is the custom flesh tone and the sculpting on this figure. The speedo is even hand sculpted and Michael rounds it out with a trademark N. Another great aspect of this custom is that Michael is able to capture the human element in action figure form. The way the muscles flow, especially from the neck down, makes this custom truly realistic, an aspect that is extremely difficult to capture in a figure but there are a few who can pull it off and Michael is one of them. The second photo below really shows off the superior level of detail. Let's read more about how Michael made this figure in his own words:

"I really wanted the flesh tone to be realistic and not to rub at all when you move him...so I made my own custom flesh color and attacked his joints by: cutting, scrapping, grinding, sanding and smoothing...he is fully possable, plus he has two sets of hands...one of which holds ah custom trident I fashioned...the other has jointed fingers...and I lined his Speedo w/green felt on the inside so his legs would not rub...thus he retains ALL of his perfect paint apps!!!....His feet and head from the neck up are from the later version or Namor from the last FF line...I used putty and apoxy-scultp to make them seamless w/the rest of the figure...I also sculpted his Speedo to be comic book correct...and dry-brushed his Speedo and ankle wings to give them an awesome look!...you got yer gold gauntlets...yellow belt...gold N for ah buckle...pointy ears...who could ask for anything more huh!!!...all hand painted...mostly custom colors...gloss, semi-gloss and flat pants used!!!...this figure took forever to make..."

Red Laser Custom GI Joe 25th Anniversary Figure by Jin Saotome

Since there are so many great customs out there to write about, I can't possibly cover everything so sometimes I will troll around in the Completed Listings section of eBay and come across some gems that I missed. Jin Saotome has created a blast from the past with an updated version of an International figure with this Custom GI Joe 25th Anniversary Red Laser figure. Jin has made a really nice addition to this figure with the wrist gauntlet/backpack and weapon. The addition of the helmet logo pays great homage to the original Red Laser figure. For those not familiar with International GI Joe's, Red Laser was an exclusive figure that was available in the United Kingdom and Europe around 1983 by the Palitoy toy company. He was available packaged with the Action Force Laser Exterminator - a red and black repaint of the HAL (Heavy Artillery Laser).

Although the auction has ended already, you can view Jin's Custom Red Laser to find out more about him and also see more photos.

Iron Man Custom Marvel Legends Figure by boskoestoys

boskoestoys, another one of my favorite customizers, takes on the Iron Man Mark 7 with force with their Custom Marvel Legends Iron Man figure. I love when new movies come out, like Iron Man, which means a serious influx of customs. The apsects that I love about boskoestoys is that they are not afraid to take some liberties their customs and really make them their own and unique. boskoestoys tells us more about this awesome Iron Man figure:

Iron Man figure features:

Exchangable hands
Regular hands with repulsors in palms
Repulsor cannon attachment (fits on back)
Prototype hand (repulsor fingertips)
Oversized work hand

Exchangable heads: Like two action figures in one. swap out heads for Tony stark, and turn you movie Mark 7 into an Ultimate Mark 7. Exchangeable pieces fit very snug and are not wobbly or loose. Chest lights up 2 different colors. The acrylic shield over his chest piece is clear blue, but there are two different buttons on his back. On makes his chest smolder red, and the effect from this light spreads through his right torso (kinda a lunar armor effect). The other button is bright orange glow. runs on small watch batteries (batteries are replaceable). Real metallic paint additives, careful attention to detail, and a multi layered paint ap finish this figure off!

There is less than 1 day left for this Custom Marvel Legends Iron Man figure by boskoestoys!

Laserbeak Custom G1 Transformers Figure by Shinobitron

Shinobitron, my go to guy for G1 Transformers, has a unique version of a 1980's classic with his Custom Transformers Laserbeak figure. The unique aspect of this custom is that the eagle version of Laserbeak does not transform into a cassette tape but a pretty cool robot! The reds, blacks, and silvers gives this bird the classic look that fans love. Let's find out more about this awesome Laserbeak from the source:

"I believe one of these guys was made for Botcon a few years back but some people complained he lacked a classic G1 flair. I tried to pay homage to the G1 character with added mortar canons/ thrusters to his back and BA paint scheme that, when in bot mode, says "Hi I'm a Ninja and I look like Deadpool!" Along with the thrusters I have also made him twin canons that can attach to his side in bird mode and be used as guns in bot mode. This figure has super articulation and can be put into all kinds of neat poses to strike fear into your autobots!"

This week, Shinobitron is paying homage to the little cassettes that could in the Transformers universe to be sure to bid on his Custom Transformers Laserbeak and also check out his other customs!

Scrap Iron Custom GI Joe Sigma 6 Cobra Figure by Shinobitron

As a kid, I used to have all out battles between GI Joe and Cobra and Scrap Iron played a huge part in destroying some strategic Joe bunkers and command centers. I grew up with the 3 3/4" Joes and Scrap Iron performed his magic with his rocket launchers behind the Cobra Bunker and caused massive devastation (not to mention the large mess I had to clean up before I went to bed but we won't go there!). Shinobintron takes on Scrap Iron in Sigma Six form and he does an excellent job capturing the colors and style of this classic Cobra figure. One aspect that I like about this figure is the way the helmet wraps around the head to give him maximum protection against a Joe onslaught. I like when customizers take some liberties and go out on a limb and I feel that the absence of the signature rocket launcher deserves some mention here but Shinobitron makes up for this with a big ass machine gun that looks like it can do some serious damage.

Shinobintron is one of the most talented customizers out there right now so make sure you check out his auction and place a very high bid on this Custom Sigma 6 GI Joe Scrap Iron figure!

Custom GI Joe Battle Android Trooper C.O.M.B.A.T Figure by Jin Saotome

Dubbed the Command Oriented Military Battle Android Trooper and keenly acronym'd C.O.M.B.A.T., Jin Saotome once again displays his mad customizing skills and gives GI Joe a much need troop enhancement. The Cobra B.A.T. (Battle Android Trooper) was one my favorites to play with as a kid and as an adult it still remains a mainstay in my Cobra Army. The head sculpt is my favorite part of this custom and I love the tubes that go from the head to the back as it reveals a vulnerable point in the droid. The B.A.T. is the only troop that "dies" in the GI Joe cartoons so I can imagine this C.O.M.B.A.T. figure's getting it's tubes severed in battle and rendered useless. Jin goes on to explain more about his figure:

"Cobra BATs are all the rage these days, disposable troopers that Cobra Commander can flood the battlefield with while he cheats Zartan at cards in the Terrordrome. No complaining, no need for medics, what more could you ask? Well what goes around comes around, enter C.O.M.B.A.T. standing for Command Oriented Military Battle Android Trooper. More sophisticated than the earlier models (and based on my Sigma 6 Combat) this trooper is ready to deploy wherever you need him. This Combat unit 055 is ready to handle your basic trooper needs and wields a PDW and machine gun. Out of ammo? No sweat, Combat can deploy its shoulder mounted machine gun for a quick attack. Check out the hand painted weathering, shading, and detail. He even has an American flag to show off his patriotic spirit!"
