Custom DCUC style Casey Jones

Haven't posted here a whole lot, but I just finished this up and wanted to post it somewhere that I know it will be appreciated. This is just the first of two customs that I have planned for this week.

First up is one I've had in the works for a LONG time (over two years) and am just now getting around to finishing. The NECA Ninja Turtles are my favorite toys I've ever owned, so without any supporting characters to back them up, I was pretty depressed. NO MORE! I came up with a paint free custom using a big mish mash of parts to make something that I'm very happy with!

EDIT: NEW PICTURE

As you can see he has no shortage of baddie bashing gear. Most of it is traditional Casey stuff, but the kendo stick was something I thought just fit in. Casey seems like he'd be a wrestling fan and would like to tote one around to smack some thugs with.

Recipe:

Head: LCBH Conan
Torso, arms: DCUC B'wana Beast
Hands: DCUC Black Manta
Legs: LCBH Savage Dragon
Mask: 2003 Casey Jones
Bag, bats, golf club: TMNT movie Casey Jones (added electrical tape and athletic tape)
Kendo stuck: ToyBiz TNA Eric Young
Shirt: sewn by me
Hockey stick from an unknown McFarlane figure and the wrist bands were some random fodder I had, I think it makes them look more like actual gloves than just black hands

I initially tried to have the mask be removable, but finding a a head that would have worked to look like Casey and stay on his face would have been too tough, so I had to do this:

I can handle it being permanent, I don't see me taking it off too often anyway.

Glad to finally have him finished and coming out just like I imagined him. I considered breaking out one of my paint pens and going over the mask to cover up that spot on the nose, but it adds a little character to the mask, so I left it as is for now.

In the next day or two I'll hopefully have the other custom I'm working on done since I'm on fall break and should have plenty of time to finish it up.

Thanks for looking! Be sure to leave your thoughts on it!
