Exosuit Baxter from "What a Croc"

Triglyph · 01-28-2010, 07:18 AM

Wanted to share a quick custom. No repainting...just the basics; only playmates parts. Simple but effective for display on my desk.

And of course, no custom figure project would be complete without cutting one's self somehow. Da'oh!

That's a cool custom.

I did that awhile back too, but I didn't share pics.

I'm sorry that you cut yourself. When I did this custom, all I did was mash the Baxter head into the exosuit, without any knives involved.

Did you use one of the "Baxter Robot" figure heads?

I used the head from the figure called "Baxter Stockman". The spider looking one...and I don't mean the BLUE spider that came with...eh forget it...

This one.

I had one here that was missing some of his parts and thought it would be cool to try. The cut happened as I attempted to extract the head from the rest of the...uh..."robot".

Ouch! This is why I try to wear gloves now when I cut stuff. Ah well, at least you nicked an area that doesn't seem too bad. I sliced pretty deeply into the tip of one of my fingers -- through the nail, even. Didn't even feel it at first, then my finger practically exploded with blood. It was like some Fist of the North Star craziness.

Buttttttt excellent custom!

This one's been on my "back-burner" list of to-do figures - along with multiple other versions of Baxter (thus far I only have human and brain-in-a-jar completed, with another version sitting on a shelf half-finished). Kudos to yours - at least what I can tell, lol. That glare's a pup's mum to the focus point of the figure. Could you, if possible, get a better photo? I know it's not always doable (my own photos come out looking like bollocks most of the time), but it would be nice to actually see the most important part of the fig.

I used the same Baxter figure that you used. I don't remember how I took the head off the robot-type body. I might have used hot water to soften it. I wanted to put the Baxter head on the Utrom's neck, so it would look like the 'City At War' Baxter, but it didn't work out at all. So, I mashed the head into the Utrom place instead.

Very nice. Here's my City at War Baxter...

Why Jesticles... I didn't know you did custom figures!
