Attila & Rasputin Punk Frog Customs
 

Hi Technodrome,
I'm a huge fan of the Punk Frogs and always wondered why Playmates never made toys of Rasputin and Attila. These are two characters that have been on the top of my custom toy list for a long time now. I wanted my customs to fit in with the toy line, not the cartoon. I've always been fascinated with how different the Napoleon design is from Genghis and used that as inspiration. There are parts from Napolean, Genghis, Ray Fillet, Ace Duck and Mondo Gecko that I used for the bodies. The head sculpts are brand new. And if you look close you can probably figure out whose weapons I borrowed. Their weapons are pretty much the only details that are show specific.

Hope you guys enjoy. I've been working on these for the past few months and I am pretty happy with how they turned out. I also made a retro 80's logo for them as well.

Thanks for looking. Next custom for me to finish sculpting is Granitor...

That. That is amazing looking, great job on giving them individuality, and how professional they look.

Ah you must have some of the 80's Coke playmates used to fuel their crazy figure designs. Well done sir, well done.

Those are phenomenal! Though Genghis, looking the most like his cartoon counterpart, seems to stand out the least, lacking the detail packed into the others.

Holy crap, dude, these are sheer awesomeness! Totally what I would expect of 'lost' Playmates figures. Perfect! Wonderful job, and resourceful at that, using all those other limbs & parts from past TMNT toys.

Those are some really in-your-face Punk Frogs - good work! :)

That is some incredible work. REALLY good stuff!!! :tgrin:

Yup, that's exactly what I was going for was 'lost' playmates figures. Thanks!

Whoa! Super cool looking! The faces are super impressive - actually better sculpting than the "real" figures, IMO.

ha! Those are bad ass!

Thanks. I saw your blog, nice work!

very frikkin cool

That is some AMAZING sculpting amigo! They really do look like genuine playmates toys. And as others have stated, I think those sculpts actually look better than Genghis!! Thanks for sharing!!! Rick

lol! Theyre awesome! Great sculpting man.

I love these, well done!

WOW that's a cool gang !! Great work !! 8)

very nice indeed, it has something from ed roth i guess :P

hey thanks!

Brilliant work; they look really authentic.

looks rad!

I REALLY like these. The concept of making Atilla and Rasputin their own unique looks is something I had never considered, and is much more unique than just repainting 4 Genghises, which is what I see most people doing.

The fact that you sculpted some pretty great heads really helps, too. Excellent work!

The one thing that I think would bring the whole set together, would be a custom paint job on the two originals to have the esthetic match up coherently.

amazing work , i dig your sculpting skills

too sick! now Genghise looks to be kind of bland compared to the others :tlol:

They are awesome, LOVE THEM!

Love them!!!!

Love these, so unique yet consistent with the classic figures, a great achievement. Really looking forward to Granitor!

Here's a look at the punk frog's new sidekick "Craw Doug, the Raging' Cajun Crawdad". I had planned on finishing him the same time I finished Attila and Rasputin, but it didn't happen. Hopefully I can have him done by the end of the summer whenever Granitor is finished.

You should keep Flyboy as a sidekick aswell! Looks awesome btw:o

Those are awesome! I've always wondered why the never got toys either. I always wanted to complete the team also, love those punk frogs!

Jolly good work! I wonder what would happen if someone took a 2k3 Hun and changed him up so that he'd have the style of the 1980s TMNT toyline?

funny you should ask, i've got an 80's Hun in the works...

Can I see a pic of your 80's Hun?

here's a work in progress...

Wow...that's awesome! Would've never thought about using those pieces for a Hun!! Can't wait to see the final figure!!

Great job!
Rick

great job on rasputin and attila the 4 of em look class togather

Impressive! Superb! His work is at least professional work. What kind of clay do you use? :tgrin:

I use castilene, most of the time, for the head sculpts and whenever theres lots of detail work. It's easy to use an blends with the toys very well. The down side is that you have to mold and cast the pieces, which gets expensive.

I also use sculpt epoxy for certain things. If there's a quick fix of something that just needs to be filled in or bonded together sculpt epoxy is the best but I can't get the same level of detail when sculpting with it.

These are so cool!! Great work! :) I've always liked the Punk Frogs.
