What's Your Obsession

It’s impressive how dedicated the custom Transformers community is to improving or making their own take on classic figures. Devestator in particular has had a couple complete customs, this latest one by Maketoys looks incredible. The individual pieces all look nicely improved over the originals, though no pricing has been announced yet. You can check [...]

I don’t post as much about custom statues as I’d like to but this custom One Piece Shirahoshi statue caught my eye. I really can’t imagine Megahouse making one in the Portrait of Pirates line and this custom has a great look and interesting pose. Link to the auction. Like the Nami custom, it’ll likely [...]

Figured you guys would appreciate a look at a side-project I’ve been working on with a buddy of mine. We bought a 3d printer and we finished off a commission for a friend of ours for a life-size rifle from one of my favourite franchises, Mass Effect. You can see some more construction pictures over [...]

I recently got an email to check out a custom Superman 3d project and I was really impressed so I felt like I’d give you guys a heads up to check out a really talented sculptor, Alex Pereira. Here’s his webpage. Turns out he sculpted the ARH Medusa, one of my favourite pieces from SDCC!

This is definitely going to be an apartment project of mine next month. Seems really simple to do and I could totally use a travel pillow. Here’s the link if you want to try your hand at building one as well.

Here’s a little preview of Kotobukiya’s Toy Fair booth, one I’ll try to get photos of when I’m there! This is a one of a kind display they’ve got for their ArtFX statues, which is a shame, since it seems to make a great diorama.

I’ve been linked to this one from a few people, you know how when you make models, you’re left with all the plastic outside parts? Someone decided to put them to great use, check the detail image under the cut.

The 501st, for those not aware, are a group of guys that do pretty awesome Star Wars costumes. They decided to do a huge charity auction of custom stormtrooper helmets at the Star Wars Celebration convention (which I unfortunately haven’t attended yet) and raised an absolute ton of money. Check out all the helmets here. [...]

Action poses are awesome. Custom statues are awesome. Time to put the two together for this week’s custom statue showcase.

I liked the last custom toy showcase about artistic adventures so much that I decided to have another one. I’ll have to do one of my own themed pieces at some point.
