Captain Jonathan Archer (Star Trek) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:65371
Name:Captain Jonathan Archer
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Star Trek
Creator:Daysleeper  
Date Added:September 3, 2014
Base Figure:Body: Commander Ford from SeaQuest by Playmates, head: Art Asylum Archer
Height:4.50 inches
Articulation:14 points
As a huge Star Trek fan and collector of the 90's Playmates figures, I was rather sad that Playmates never produced figures of Star Trek - Enterprise, which in my opinion was one of the best Trek-shows. So I decided to customize the main crew in my preferred 4.5" size.

I used the Commander Ford figure from Playmates' SeaQuest line as base for the body. I sanded and dremeled most of the zippers and patches and re-sculpted the uniform with apoxie.

The head is an Art Asylum Archer head shrunken down to fit the size with Hydroshrink. While making the casting of the head, I was able to re-sculpt the neck and peg according to the standards used by Playmates in order to retain articulation.

Then I painted the figure with enamel paint by Revell and printed the shoulder patch on decal paper.

I'm not really a Star Trek fan, but I just want to say that, in a lot of ways, these are my favorite types of customs. You've taken a line that's been dead for over a decade and painstakingly crafted customs to fit in with that aesthetic. It not only shows your incredible skill, but also the insane amount of dedication that makes this hobby so enjoyable. Really great job, and I look forward to seeing more stuff from you!
