Marquis de Carabas Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 those customs are AMAZING man, just amazing. I especially love the 2099 doom. and the re4 packaging looks great. your packaging always looks very professionally done. I remember when I first saw your psycho set, I thought it was the real deal, but unfortunately it was not, and i am without psycho mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Here are some more Dr. Who customs that I finished recently: Pyramids of Mars packaged set I made the header a different style than the rest of the Mars-themed box. My plan is to use this same header on future Dr. Who box sets, which will give them a consistent look and feel when displayed together. You have seen the Doctor before from this set. Here are pics of the new figures: Sarah Jane Smith Sarah's face and chest are decals. She is wearing the dress from this episode, along with the rifle she used, and her wind-swept hair (Wasp). Sutekh Sutekh's head is apoxie sculpt on top of a Dr. Fate helmet. His chest is a modified big chest piece, with some more apoxie sculpt. And the lower part of his outfit is cut from sheet plastic. Mummy The mummy's face is a decal and his chest is a modified big chest piece, with the circular opening cut using a dremel. I also made myself a gold mummy from the end of the series: And this custom isn't related to the series, but I made him at the same time: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart The Brigadier is a repainted General Ross with a new face decal. Yes, I repainted a chase figure. That's all for today. For all of you non-Who fans, I should have more Marvel stuff finished this week.

boyd Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Always nice to see more Dr. Who characters. I love the sculpting and details on Sutekh, but the show-stealer to me is the mummies. They seem so perfectly translated to Minimates form. And the Brigadier is another great custom - well worth using a variant for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It's getting harder and harder to separate your stuff from official products being put out by the AA/DST team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Great Doctor Who customs man, I'd be interested in a 10 figure box set *hint hint* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Here is some more Marvel love: Weapon X A much needed update to my original custom here. The helmet is random pieces of plastic glued to a Cyclops mask and then painted chrome. The sideburns are cut form a Wolverine hair piece. The waist is pretty much the same thing. The black hose is a twisty tie and the yellow hose is from the Marvel Legends Weapon X. Zombie Sentry He is loosely based on this artwork. He is made from a Raft Sentry (yes another chase figure bites the dust ) with Eddie Brock hair. Zombie Magneto This zombie is based on this artwork. He uses Zombie Wolverine's head. Chakaal My Groo custom was looking lonely without the love of his life. Read more about her and see a pic here. Her earrings, hair bun, and sword base are apoxie sculpt. Her face and chest are decals. I used the duck feet in this instance, since they match her boot design. Battle Damaged Sandman I made concept artwork for this figure back in January, and as soon as I got the T-1000, I got to work on him. I changed a few things from my concept. I matched the sand color to his arms, and I used a movie Sandman head instead of the comic one. I had a lot of fun posing this one.

Nessex Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wow - they are ALL stella, but i am seriously impressed with Weapon X, Sandman & Zombie Magneto! Zombie mags is just awesome! I'm surprised we haven't seen a Weapon X Wolverine Variant yet. When it happens (& it will happen) i hope AA/DST's is as good as yours!

TM2 Dinobot Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You know, I was so close to beating you to that Sandman. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Great work, Luke! Weapon X is very cool. I really like the way those combined plastic pieces turn out to really look like this weired helmet thing. I don't like the Marvel Zombies that much, but - as always - your designs really, well, rock! This hole in Magneto's body works great. (I have to do a custome with a hole in it's chest myself. It works really great. I also loved how it worked on your T-1000 custom!) Chakaal seems to be the first Minimate ever on which those duck feet look good. Really! Sandman: awesome. I was looking forward to see this custom since you announced it. He looks great and you really matched the color. (Sooner or later DST are going to steal that idea, since they will be interested to reuse that T-1000 part!) Very cool designs. Once more.

luke314pi Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks everyone! I will take some more pictures of Sandman this week. I am also working on another BD Sandman using the other T-1000 head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 My only thought is how you find the time to produce so many great-looking Minimates The stand-out for me is Chakaal, because not only did you use those duck feet well, but you really nailed Sergio's artwork for the face.

hellpop Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm surprised we haven't seen a Weapon X Wolverine Variant yet. When it happens (& it will happen) i hope AA/DST's is as good as yours! Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, since it's the one Logan variant that people might want. Just reminds me what a terrible lineup that "Wolverine thru the Ages" box is. I echo Boyd's comments about Chakaal. Just as good as your Groo. DST, please make some Indymates from, y'know, good comics! We'll buy them!

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, since it's the one Logan variant that people might want. Just reminds me what a terrible lineup that "Wolverine thru the Ages" box is. True Dat! what a waste of a box-set! I was expecting a Weapon X (Crazy Helmet), GSXM, Brown & Orange Costume & Maybe a 'Future Logan' MiniMate. With all the options they could have included like AOA, Death Horseman, Feral Bone Claw w/ Red Bandana, X-Force (unannounced at that time), CIA Wolverine (The black & gold costume), Spy Wolverine (Like in the old ToyBiz series) etc . . . , to get 4 'Civilian' Logans is pretty disappointing. Back on Topic though - Luke, if that Weapon X goes up for Auction, be sure to tell us!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 More Sandman abuse! I repainted the other T-1000 head, and then had some fun posing a few pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
