So how'd Mr. Go come about?

He was made from a Doctor Who Tenth Doctor, with a Peter Parker head, Spider-man right hand, Jurassic Park Alan Grant hat, two Mutant X Bloodstorm ponytails and the cane is from a Star Trek Beverly Crusher Umbrella!

Cheers!

my next custom will be metalhead with fully-functional chest-gun like he has in the show/game.

Forgot to mention, these look great! I particularly like the Irma, that's a huge improvement!

*shuriken* · 11-01-2008, 03:54 PM

Wow. All of these customs are amazing. I really liked the Krang, Punk Wagon, The Stump Wrestlers...but my vote goes for Patraw with his mini figures. They look so awesom and all that Articulation is just wow. Awesome job to all of you.

Patraw · 11-04-2008, 07:46 AM

Only two more days left till this poll closes, so, if you haven't cast your vote yet, hurry up and do so!

Sure, Casey Jones was meant to be part of wave 1, but the dang parts didn't want to work with me. I think Star Wars Quinlan Vos head fits Casey well, but I wouldn't mind seeing something better and I'm still figuring out his gear (mask included). Also have Splinter almost done, I sadly just need a head. Is the Mini 2k3 Splinter bigger than the Mini Movie Splinter?

Anyways, thanks to everyone that liked them

Now for my thoughts:
Krang’s Android Body - Nice. One of the best uses for a wrestler toy I've seen. Does the normal Krang fit in there or does it need a custom Krang?

Archie Stump Wrestling - Awesome. Not sure if it's the lighting or you used gloss paints, but they doesn't seem to photograph well. Bet that they look even better in person. I like the use of the 2k3 shuriken on Leo and the Toy Biz Cyclops fits in very well. Who's the other wrestler made from? Great set you got there

Wolverine/Turtle amalgam -

So silly that it works. If I liked Wolverine (the character), I'd have more to say. Very well done.

NECA New York Building Diorama and Fast Forward Starlee - No offense meant, but Starlee looks like Cody dressing up for Halloween. That said, the dio rocks! If the NECA figures came with that, I wouldn't be dragging my feet to get them. Such a great job

Sisyphus, Buzzrok, & Scratch - Why don't you just open your own toy company already?

As always, you make great custom figures.

Mr. Touch & Mr. Go - Can't think of much to say as that's one of the episodes I've only seen once. Still, very well done.

Nightmare Raphael - Simple, but simple is sometimes good. I agree with whoever suggested using a FF Raph head. Still well done.

Punk Attack Wagon - Playmates should hire you to make 25th toys. Looks like you've stolen the show with it. Fantastic.

Well you could use the krang that came with the mini android figure that was released in 93 or 94 (im sure someone will correct me

) but it would be a little too small. I was going to make a custom krang but I ran out of time.

Dragnskull · 11-05-2008, 10:49 PM

i hate voting in these cause i love them all so much, i hate to dissapoint everyone cause they were all gg submission

but one managed to stand WAY out above the rest...the punk attack bitchin wagon!

Patraw · 11-06-2008, 08:50 AM

That's all folks--the poll is closed! Thank you to everyone who voted (50 voters is a mighty fine turnout I say), and extra special thanks to everyone who spent the time and energy created custom submissions.

ToSte takes top honors for the second time in a row:

Hopefully we can have another TMNT custom contest again somewhere down the road.

*Ninjinister* · 11-06-2008, 09:20 AM

This is an outrage. There is no way ToSte should have won. The person I voted for should have. ToSte is going to ruin The Technodrome. I'm going to whine and cry and cuss on internet message boards and pretend that my opinion is more correct than everyone else's. Also, I am prejudiced against everyone who wears a Party Wagon rooftop on their head. One of you people could never lead a toy customizing contest.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 11-06-2008, 10:33 AM

He would not have won had I entered...

ToSte · 11-07-2008, 01:22 PM

LMAO I love the TF pic!

Yes, The S, when it comes to teh 'Drome I am truly the worst thing since Bimbo frosted toast...

CudleyCowlick · 11-07-2008, 01:28 PM

Congratulations, you crazy, van-wearin' so-and-so!

Which makes you Bimbo frosted ToSte, right?

raven6859 · 11-08-2008, 07:49 AM

Ha! Bimbo frosted ToSte!

Congrats ToSte, well deserved! Also, many thanks again to Patraw for organising this, it was a lotta fun!

thanx, raven6859. at first i just had that toon irma repainted with no physical changes to the figure. but then later on i realized i wasnt fully satisfied with it so i went the extra mile with it!!! took a while to cut off all that excess plastic, it didnt happen in just one sitting. if i had rushed through it i probably would had cuts all over my fingers. btw i like your touch and go figures, even thought im not too familiar with those chatacter but the paint and background blend in really well, plus i also immediately recognized the rock's face as i have that same rock figure with the trash talkin' stage. i used to be into wwf/wwe figures as well.

I suggest getting Kevlar or chain mail gloves. I used to get cuts all over my hands until I bought a pair of Kevlar. Now whenever the blade slips, it just harmlessly hits the glove.

does the gloves get in the way at all/make the process more difficult, or are you still able to freely move your hands and slice/chop as if you had no gloves on?

*Ninjinister* · 11-12-2008, 08:09 PM

They take some getting used to at first, but in no time, you'll forget they're even on.
