New Custom Tuesday – 2/18/14

Blade HeadlineNew Custom Tuesday is a weekly, creator-submitted list of the latest custom action figures. This list provides a convenient way to check out all the latest custom creations posted in the galleries without having to search each individual thread. For this week’s customs, read on!

Blade- Lestat
Blade- Lestat

First up this week is an astounding Blade custom by Lestat.  This uses an exceptionally well-articulated base body and a Sideshow head sculpt hydro-shrunk down to 7-inch scale.  It’s extremely effective and the NECA base body has this interesting texture that makes the usual dull black bodysuit a little more interesting.  I’m fascinated by the hydro-shrink process, and I’d say the result here looks like it is worth the effort.

Buzzkill - mkULTRA
Buzzkill – mkULTRA

Next up is a great new Hordesman by mkULTRA: Buzzkill!  It’s a clever reuse of the Hurricane Hordak base body and the Iron Monger head.  mkULTRA has great facility for designing new characters from the existing MOTUC base bodies, and Buzzkill is a great example of this.  I swear his thread is like a customizing to-do list for me.

Spirit of Grayskull (mini comics inspired) - stprime
Spirit of Grayskull (mini-comics-inspired) – stprime

St. Prime shared a really cool version of the Spirit of Grayskull using the glow-in-the-dark Scareglow as an unconventional and effectively ghostly base.  I love the metallic green paint job on the Jitsu armor, and it makes me wish there were more characters using this armor.  It’s just too cool.

Red Skull - Rider
Red Skull – Rider

I couldn’t quite pull the trigger on the latest Red Skull in the infinite line, but Rider’s modifications make me see the potential that I didn’t before.  I like how it has a classic vibe with a slightly modern updated feel.

Thanks for reading, and please remember to pop on over to our custom galleries and comment on the fine work on display.
