The DCU Figures Customizers Thread, Part II

[Dark Knight]

I never would have thought to use Superman's head as a base for Arkkis. Brilliant! I might use the Booster Gold/Batman body just so he is a little taller then John if I make an Arkkis for my self. I didn't plan to make one, but I just might try now...

I would reccommend anyone who wants to expand thier GL collection try Arkkis. He's essentially just a head retool using the base head of your choice. The GL body is pretty much there for you.

Cool Arkkis, Dusty...I think I'll give this one a try! -Matt K.

Batman's body type seems like a better choice for an Arkkis custom. Entails more work (as opposed to using GL's) but will probably yield a more in-scale final product.

Dusty, my friend, that is a BEAUTIFUL custom. I love it.

[Power Guy]

Cool Arkkis figure! Keep 'em coming!

[Casimir]

Great work, Dusty! I love the "simple" projects like that.

Some of my customs fell of the shelf when i wasnt home, and they got distroyed, my livewire fell in paint but her head fell of before and it wsa on the ground, tsurki her head fell off, chetachs head needs a repaint, deadshots eyeball thingy fell off, wowow wowwoowowowowo, im crying, i want to cry,, but at the same time im happy cause i have sooo many villians now, and sooo many heroes it adds up. i just kinda wish the quality of heroes mattels realeases would have been alot better, thats all.


I just got all the 3 packs, umm i have some good ideas here, copperhead paint job is off, and lex luthors body can be a good base for a two minute project nemesis.

I like copperheads face but needs better paint

[Dusty]

Thanks guys!

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the customs falling. That would drive me to tears, as well.

Yo casimir i know your good at matching skin tones, so what colors would be to to mix to make good skin tone, red tan and white?

whats your recipe?

Also, have you ever thought about making the whole Royal Flush Gang of batman beyond you already have ten king and ace, just need to more?

[John Cage]

Jeepers. That Supergirl figure is really short. I'll still buy it anyway, but the scaling is kind of off, huh.

Have a good day.

Honestly, if it's Causcasian skin tone, I'll use Ceramcoat "Fleshtone" for paler folks and "Medium Fleshtone" for those who spend more time in the sun. Anything beyond that I'll mix, though.

Someday I'll finish the RFG. Someday...

Would Lex's new body make a good base for Heatwave? I've not seen it in person yet, but I'm dying to know.

[Mister Miracle]

Yes your right, the base if perfect for heatface, and just use a starman head for his chin and sculpt the helmet and glasses.

Sweet! Thanks man. I'll have to keep a look out for the newer figures if I want to make these customs. I still can't find the Target exclusives though, so I've not seen if Bizarro or Canary have new parts that would work for other customs. I've gotta find easy thing to do since I'm so pressed for time nowadays I STILL haven't finished my first two customs.

[Mister Miracle]

I have the lex figure and his belt and gun strap come off the can slide off
The heatwave figure is victor kravens, i got the picture from his group

Ok!...Here is a little something I threw together, hoping to maybe inspire one of the more advanced customizers ( Casimir, Mike Danza, Bill Burns...etc...nudge, nudge ) to take a crack at refining. Go on, admit it...everyone wants an Amanda Waller in their collection, right? Well here I took and modified a TNBA Penguin body, legs from a Scooby Daphne figure, and an all original, amature head sculpt. She is far from perfect, so let's look at her as a prototype of sorts! -Matt K.

[lincolnmrk66]

...And, what the heck...I wasn't going to post these until they were completely finished, they have a lot of paint work to go, but here'a my Question and Harvey Bullock. I did not sculpt Harv, someone else did...I found him on ebay, and figured with a flatter paint scheme, he'd look nice, I also had to take about a 1/4 inch off both legs to shorten him up! Once they receive another couple coats of paint, I think they'll make great additions to the shelf.-Matt K.

[Casimir]

Wow! Matt's gettin' ambitious! Nice work, my friend.

I really like Waller's head sculpt. Ya done good. And using a Penguin body as a base is very clever.

I know a lot of people have discarded the idea of using Machine Gun Joker as a base for Question, but seeing yours painted... I don't see much wrong with it. (And I just watched "Double Date" again recently, so his design is fresh in my mind.) Looks good.

And Bullock... Will always be a tough project. Given that you found this on eBay, he's not bad!

Someday I'll get to these guys...
