What size is this figure anyway, 4/6/12 inch? I'd like the figure more if the head would resemble it's comic counterpart more. I mean, character is recognisable, but it should look more like Duncans art...

[Donnie]

That looks great man!

Sweet! What figure did you use for the base?

Sweet! What figure did you use for the base?

I had a 2007 Shredder missing all of his armor, so I used that as the base. I thought it would be fun to incorporate the blades on one arm into the custom as the throwing stars he gets hit with in issue 4.

This is a relatively fun and easy custom to make, not to mention a cheap one. All you need is a 2007 Shredder as well as several different colors of Model Magic, and Mod Podge (a clear drying artwork fixitive) to seal off pieces that have been "added on."

Topsu-- I'm well aware of the short-comings of this custom, and plan on doing another one in the near future if the other 2007 Shredder I have doesn't sell on ebay.

The figure measures roughly 6 and 3/4 inches tall.

I really liked the blades in the arm, nice nod to #4 there, very cool.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

Thanks guys. As soon as I can get more materials, I'm going to do another one. I may go with his appearance in #1 though (didn't he have jeans on)?

[Plasticplayhouse]

That's pretty cool man. I think you just inspired me to try one :)

I didn't catch that at first, but very clever. Good work all around.

[Samhain]

Nice work on this Hob. Hopefully we will get an actual figure someday if he is still relevant in the near future.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I've got another one in the works, I'm not going with the blades this time and I'm going to try to make the pants more accurate.

[VaughnMichael]

Looks like he'd fit right in with nick's new cgi cartoon.

[TonySiegel]

The execution and effort is definitely there, I applaud you for that. Only thing I would personally want to see is to capture his grit, he looks a little to polished (than what is seen in the comic). ill figure nonetheless...

All comments will be taken into consideration when I get back to the latest WIP :twink:

This one DOES look better for the most part-- I'll post pics either tonight or tomorrow morning. The head in particular looks MUCH better...

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

This still needs a bit of work (and I need to take better pictures when it is done for sure).

This picture will probably be taken down once I have a better one.

[Uki]

That's nifty...hardcore in a cute way, what with the stars in his arm! ;)

I love Old Hob-great new character! Good stuff!
