When things settle down here, I hope to get back to Coldblood, but I have a bunch of other customs in different stages of completion that will need to get done first.

Sorry, man. Maybe sitting down do to a project like a custom will help you de-stress tho.

Once again, your comparo shot makes the difference!
Taller height...Applied tattoes...Huge knives...Big guns...and more Big guns...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Home run, Creator! Still shocked at the actual applied tats you made for him. And great job matching the skin tone of the original!

True, but unpainted printed figures are more practical in terms of costs for mass production vending machines.

Coldblood custom update:
Looking at Thursday for the finished product, Nitelife.

I’m enjoying making him. Given his military background & pleothora of sculpted cybernetic figure parts, Coldblood is a JOE custom and will scale well with either your MU or G.I. Joe collections.

I did hit two snags along the way...

The first was not being able to crack the chosen torso due to it being too thick for my Xacto knife. I’m still using it nevertheless.

The second was finding the right head sculpt that would not look like a cyborg-version of that character’s/actor’s face. But I finally made a decision from a short list.

Finishing the sculpting today. Painting tomorrow. Assembling Thursday.

Schweet. Oh a way to crack torsos i used back in my heyday of joe customs was to heat the torso in boiling water then use a vice to apply pressure.

Thanks Sender the tatts are of course painting tape painted up. Cerberus came that way can't take credit for that one bro. I only added the chains. Glad you liked Drax also and can't wait to see coldblood. I love this site and customizing even more.

Is he not obscure enough. Just happen to have the parts and figured why not. Lord I have been asked to do commissions a few times now, so be honest with me, are my customs worthy of sale. Gotta ask Sender also because its not like my wife and daughter are gonna tell me if something sucks or not but you guys be real with me.

I would say so. Problem is you will want to do better than if it is just for you. I did a couple of commissions way back, classic Havok and original Daredevil in Secret Wars style. Sorry, no pics anymore.

Btw, I was picking on his fuzzy wuzzy little head.

Absolutely Creator! Not even a question. But I agree with Lord Mudd, you’re likely going to get attached to each commission that you will either have to make doubles or be the first in line if your customer decides to sell it.

Btw I’m already digging Griffin. Even your works in progress are exciting to see with the ingenious ideas for parts. Griffin’s feet and additional hair....awesome ideas!

Thanks Sender, and the way that you dissect my work is awesome. And thanks for you're input also. Funny thing is my collection is massive because of my customs and accessories. Can't wait to see Coldblood. I may make Lady death strike or Misty Knight next never know maybe all 3.
Keep creating bro!!
