The Vision was a favorite Avenger when I was a kid, so when I found out he had a Golden Age namesake, I had to find out more. The GA Vision was a strange visitor from another dimension, and they...[See More]

The movie Ghost Rider was not my first choice as base for the Blazing Skull, I felt like I may have forced it a little. I really liked his visual dynamic and I had wanted him with the other Golden...[See More]

I started with a DCUC Iron and sanded down the rivet points on his arms and legs. I removed the tunic piece of course and sculpted the hair, jeans, and boots with Aves. I did a bit of amalgamizing...[See More]

I put a Guardian head on a Dr Fate body. Pretty simple as far as concept goes, I modified the helmet by adding the crest and sculpting ears. I decided to give him the high rise look to his shorts,...[See More]

Not terribly proud of this custom or fond of the character. He is essentially a pink skinned Hulk wannabe. But he WAS a member of the classic SSoSV, and I wanted to make as many of that team as I...[See More]

I always liked Tyroc, but being from that other dimension, he was never around enough for my tastes. I have been meaning to get him done since the 12 pack came out, but I wanted a good recipe. I...[See More]

Wandjina along with his teammates Blue Jay and Silver Sorceress were the survivors of a nuclear holocaust caused by the Extremists. They regrouped together as the Champions of Angor and, with little...[See More]

Legion of Superheroes were released in a 12 pack. This was absolutely one of the best things Matty ever did. I could count on Matty and my good friend the Toyguru to find avenues to get the rest of...[See More]

I sanded down the features on J'onn's face and used the cape from a Dr Impossible. The purple was painted with a dark purple and dry brushed with a lilac. The gloves were sculpted from apoxie...[See More]

I had begun to put together my Secret Society from the 70's comic and I knew that I would have to have the Captain to go up against them. The sculpting is all done with Aves apoxie sculpt, the...[See More]

This was the awesomely awful costume that the Wizard put on during his stint with the secret Society back in the 70's. If memory serves, he collected the gloves, powerstone, and belt to add to his...[See More]

Doctor Chaos appeared in an issue of Superboy back in the eighties. I had considered customizing him many times, and after seeing manomight1974's figure here on the realm, I knew I wanted one too....[See More]

No, your eyes are not wrong, and neither am I. This is another character who went by the name of Eradicator. He was a Flash nemesis from around the time after Iris's death. The Eradicator believed...[See More]

The skirt came from Mary Marvel. The hat was a piece of vinyl with aluminum foil shaping the top. I used Aves to sculpt over the foil. The scarf is a piece of a red t-shirt, and so is the non...[See More]

He started as a villain, and then I want to say he ended up an ally...I think. I used Aves to sculpt and painted with acrylics. This will wrap up my journey into customs of yesteryear, I will try to...[See More]

I used Aves to sculpt the helmet, gloves, and boots. This was before I had the patience to prep a figure to prevent paint rub. He has been on display for years. Posing him to take these pics has...[See More]

Continuing my journey through the past customs of yesteryear. I do like Iron Man, but previous to the movies we were not seeing nearly enough of his rogues. I started with the Thorbuster IM and...[See More]

A lot of sculpting head to toe on this guy. The nice thing was the solid color scheme. painted with acrylics, sculpted with Aves....[See More]

So, how far back was Magneto released? That is how old this custom is. This was one of my earliest forays into sculpting. It wasn't an epoxy compound, I think it is sculpey. I actually baked the...[See More]

I have always been a big Iron Man fan. The character finally got his due on the big screen, but we never saw figures of most of his classic foes. This is my 3rd post of the night focusing on Tony's...[See More]

Firebrand started out as a Scuba gear Spiderman....I think. I am pretty sure the head belonged to Bullseye. Yet another addition to my Iron Man rogues collection. Let me know what you think...[See More]

This figure, (and the others I am posting tonight), were made quite awhile ago. I am a little fuzzy on my own recipe. If anyone recognizes the body I used, let me know. I sculpted his gloves and...[See More]

This was intended to be more of the Shade from the Starman comic. I loved what James Robinson did with the character in that run. Soooooo, black paint. a lot of black paint. And a Dr. Strange...[See More]

Roulette's grandmother was a Golden Age villain of the same name, who ran a conventional casino and fought Mister Terrific (Terry Sloane). The current Roulette believes Terry Sloane to be her...[See More]

This custom, I have to confess, was never on my to do list. I was happy enough with my DC Direct version. When I was staring at the JQ I had picked up, he really suggested himself. very little...[See More]
