Bob Harris Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (Reading the posts leading up to Dinobot's custom reveal, I suddenly feel like one of those old guy-hecklers from The Muppet Show ) Does that make me Waldorf? Anyway, great custom, Matt! I love the idea of coming up with a continued story of Nemo. And he looks great with his mechanical hand and his Mad-Eye-Moody kind of eye. Thumbs up! (And cool flag and diarama (you haven't drawn that by yourself, have you?) as well!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Finished my customs up - here's Aladdin and the genie: Aladdin is made from a repainted Minimate with decals for his face and chest details. His shirt tail was made from a modifed Dr. Doom skirt, while his turban and belt were made from Magic Sculpt. Aladdin's magic lamp was made from scratch with Magic Sculpt. The genie is made from a repainted 2.5" Minimate. His face and chest are made from water-transfer decals. His ears, earrings and goatee are made from Magic Sculpt. The genie's magical base is made from Sculpey. More pictures will be up on my customs site later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wow Boyd. That is amazingly good work, as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Awesome! I love the decals and the sculpting work. The lamp was a nice touch too. I can't wait to see more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Great work. Your sculpting is amazing, Boyd! I am deeply impressed. The turban, genie's* whirly thing and the magical lamp are brillinat! I am glad that this isn't a contest! :biggrin: ____ * A note on languages: I never came across the word "genie" actually written down. The same spelling in German - "Genie" - means genius, while a genie in German usually is a "Flschengeist" (lteralyy a "bottle ghost" or "ghost in a bottle") or "Dschinn".

boyd Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sweet work Boyd. I am so digging that genie. I love the sculpting of the ears. What is his swirly base made of? The genie's base* is made from Sculpey. It was way too big to try and make with Magic Sculpt. *I wish I could come up with a proper name for the genie's base, but there's doesn't seem to be a word for "smokey tail that genies have instead of legs".

Bob Harris Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Wait, we have to mail these to Fujis?! That's the plan so Fujis will do all the ebay stuff and also can take one of those charitymates allstars pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hey Mattallica, I just saw your Captain Nemo. Very sharp! His colours make him look like Captain Crunch's evil brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquis de Carabas Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 wow, good job everyone! i'm especially keen on the genie from boyd's aladdin. way cool man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Wait, we have to mail these to Fujis?! That's the plan so Fujis will do all the ebay stuff and also can take one of those charitymates allstars pics. Thanks for that Bob - yes, customizers need to mail me their customs so I can photograph each one individually and as a group so I can then list them on eBay and ship them.

Fujis Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I've received three customs up-to-date: MINI-MYTE's, boyd's, and one from an anonymous customizer. Thanks guys! And as vbpanizzi mentioned, our deadline is fast approaching...how is every doing on their customs? I've been procrastinating far too much myself...

Punisher Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Mine should hopefully be done in a week or so. I'm having a real hard time trying to get him to not be recognized as a "300 spartan" at first sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 You will receive mine with Punisher's, Fujis. And by the way, I'm really looking forward to see yours, Punisher: THIS IS NOT SPARTA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Sent mine a few days ago Fujis, hope you receive it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I, uh, lost Frodo's sword. I don't know what happened to it, but it went somewhere when I moved my desk. I've got a spare, so it's no biggie, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I've been procrastinating far too much myself... You'll go blind! Zorro's nearly finished but I genuinely wish I'd tried something harder or....easier! Zorro is ultimately a guy dressed in black ...all black...with a mask ,a hat & a sword My legendary customising skills are being taxed to their limit trying to make this guy a bit different.
