MGS1 Solid Snake in Custom Workstation by DaniellePlaysWithToys   
Sunday, July 2, 2023
   [Edit]
I own the McFarlane Toys one, but he looks fugly. (Cue "NO, THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE!!" I wanted to make my own one in the style of the '60s GI Joe figures (mainly so I can ship him with the Nurse... heh heh)

How tall were those old GI Joes and which newer ones match them?? The Nurse isn't on eBay RN, but her accessories are. There's a Vietnam Nurse from 1999, which is close, but no cigar.

I might wanna make Iroquois Pliskin too, because he also hot....[See More]

OG Joes are 12" dolls. The original, and the '90s and later rereleases should all be essentially the same size. I don't have any OG, only the '90s dolls, so I can't tell you the minor differences that may exist.

You could army build some shield agents with the agent carter. Make some sort of special ops with head swaps? I’ve seen people go nuts with the shield setup

Mafex-l/12-6"
Mezco-1/12-6"
Neca-1/10-7"

Does anyone know if there are any decent, posable action figures of kids out there in the 1/18th scale? I want to work on a Valeria Richards custom (Fantastic Four) but I can't seem to find any bucks out there that fit the scale...[See More]

Need help on 89 style two face in Custom Workstation by jesus45503   
Saturday, May 20, 2023
   [Edit]
Hey all,

New to the forum but long time lurker looking at the customs others made.

I am wanting to make an Billy Dee 89 batman style two face using the head from a star wars 6 inch black series Lando in skiff guard disguise as the base head. My idea was to do something basic. Find a suitable two face fig of roughly sane size, chop the two heads in half, glue them together with minimal touch up work and call it a day but I don't know what two face figures would be a good fit. I just ordered the Lando fig on eBay and it should be here by Monday. What are everyone's thoughts on how to tackle this.

Ultimately I want to have a fig that I can think looks decent enough but could also stand up to play when my kid is old enough to join me with ...[See More]
Riddler, Poison Ivy, Mr Freeze movie 4in scale customs in Custom Workstation by TomatoisJP   
Wednesday, April 5, 2023
   [Edit]
So long story short, the live action portion of my Batman shelf has ended up in 4 inch scale, and I'm looking to close some more gaps that I do have via customs.

The big one bothering me is Riddler. Despite a decently robust "The Batman" line from Spin Master, they refused to produce anything related to the Paul Dano version of the Riddler, despite him being the main antagonist of that movie. And in theory, that's fine, a seller on ebay makes the weird duct tape mask thing, which is really the only unique element of his outfit. But I'm not well versed in that scale, so even though I know there almost HAS to be something close enough in either the GI Joe line or Star Wars or something, I'm just not familiar enough with either to know of a g...[See More]
Looking for a custom Warpath head - Suggestions? in Custom Workstation by Davey-Henry   
Saturday, March 11, 2023
   [Edit]
Hello! I'm trying to make a custom X-Force Warpath, and I'm getting hung up on finding a good head. I don't really like the look of the Strong Guy series Warpath head, plus I'd have to sand down his headband and the feather in his hair. I'm also not crazy about the older "constipated face" Warpath head that's out there, and I can't seem to find casts of it for sale any more, anyway. So far I've tried the Sentry head and while I like the way the face and hair look, it's just a bit too small sitting on the massive Warpath body. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good head I could use, in Marvel Legends or any other toy line? I could probably do a hair swap if I needed to. Also, I guess I'm open to the idea of commissioning a head if anyon...[See More]

Ooh that's got some potential. I actually tried the ML Winter Soldier head but it was a bit too small. I might even be able to stick the Warpath hair on there. Thank you very much!
Looking to get a custom MOTU origins harness in Custom Workstation by mariosonicfan5   
Wednesday, March 8, 2023
   [Edit]
So hoping there is someone out there willing to take this as a commission I guess? Will pay for it and buy it from you if you can get it made. Essentially what it is is he-man's origins harness, however instead of the cross in the middle, the middle area of the harness is Superman's S, the main harness straps would be black and the S itself would be white. I am trying to get this done to give to my custom Masters of the WWE universe Scott Steiner figure. If anyone is able to pull this off and offer it to me to purchase after it is completed I would be happy to accept it! Thank you!...[See More]

Here you go... https://www.figurerealm.com/customtutor ... view&id=91

Perdonally I've never had much luck cracking open torsos without causing a good amount of damage, maybe about 25-30% of the ones I've attempted are reuseable afterwards, but that could be because I get impatient and I'm usually cracking it for the arms to use on another figure. My best results have been when I've taken my time.
