Thank you!

I hope nobody minds - I'm going to re-post him here, so everybody who has yet to see him doesn't have to go back to page 1. I'll just re-post the figure, though. If you want to read my description of the color and design choices I made, you'll need to go check out the original post.

[Powder]

That is badass! You oughtta repaint the whole toyline at this point haha. These are lookin' real sharp dude.

[Loco]

Waw this Groundchuck is a piece of Art , you got game

[psychoandy]

You guys are really great. Thank you for all of your compliments! It's really flattering that, based on two figures, you guys want to see my take on the entire Playmates line. That's awesome, I REALLY appreciate it, and am humbled.

I have two other TMNT figures in this style completely ready to go, and a handful of others on my customizing desk that are nearly complete. I'm intentionally (as of right now) not telling what my next figures are going to be (although I did let slip that the next figure will be the Rat King), just so A) nobody gets their hopes up and B) nobody starts ripping on my for my figure selection.

I also have a handful of other custom TMNT figures that are painted in a different style that I will also be sharing in the future.

But, yes. I have plenty of TMNT-line customs ready to go. But I'm not saying who is and isn't coming, or when. Be patient, and keep coming back every week, when I unveil a new figure.

And thank you all again for your kind words.

I've never tried one. Given how hard they are to find, and how expensive they can get, in comparison to the figures, I'm not really looking to do any right now.

But I do take commission requests, for a fee...

That Groundchuck is Killa' Sweet!

Well, if you want to supply me with a Technodrome and some money for my time, I'm sure I could come up with something.

And now for my 3rd repainted TMNT '88 figure: The Rat King

The Rat King is a pretty weird guy. He's a guy who, for whatever reason (hooray for inconsistency between Turtleverses!), can't get along in normal society. And, as such, he has gone to live in the sewers. While there, he's declared himself the king of vermin. And now he's deluded himself into thinking that rats should rule the world, with him as their emperor.

People who live in the sewers are dirty. And while Playmates' original Rat King was pretty gross for a 1989 toy, he wasn't anywhere CLOSE to as gross as somebody who lives in the sewers should look. Not to mention that half of the weird stuff crawling all over him (including spiders, rats, and a centipede) was left unpainted.

So, I did my best to make ol' Rat King REALLY gross, because he's presumably lived in the sewers for years, and that likely means he hasn't done a very good job of washing himself.

Every bandana, every rat, every bug, and EVERY SINGLE STITCH is fully hand-painted. Painting all the critters and stuff on this guy was a serious pain in the neck. I only wish my camera was better (or that I knew anything about photography), and could pick up all the little details on him.

[TheCanadiandrome]

wow, woah! he looks like a zombie! good stuff dude. he deffinately looks gross!

[stayunspoiled]

Nice work! I'm in the same boat and have been repainting original TMNT for a while too.

One of the best figures to repaint in my opinion is Muckman & Joe Eyeball.
They have sooooo much detail in them.

[TheCanadiandrome]

hey any chance u could do something with a Foot Soldier?

[RayH]

I love what youve done with groundchuck, the color scheme works much better, not being so neon. Rat kings cool, but the bright blue on the pants totally doesn't go with the other colors being used.

[psychoandy]

Stayunspoiled: I'll have to hunt down a Muckman & Joe Eyeball set. They do seem like they've got a lot of fun on there.

TMNT_Canadian: If I run across a Foot Soldier, I'll do something with 'em. I'm more interesting in working with the Movie Star version than the '88 sculpt in the gorilla pose, though. I think Zobovor pretty much nailed the Foot Soldier with his repaint from several years ago: http://members.fortunecity.com/zobov...r_repaint.html

RayH: Thanks for the kind words about Groundchuck. Unfortunately, with Rat King's pants, my digital camera totally overexposes any blue hues and makes them much brighter than they appear in real life (because it's so cheap, it came free with my printer). But my idea was that he just had regular jeans on when he went to live in the sewers. I suppose I could've made them a bit grungier, though... Ah well, live and learn, right?

[psychoandy]

CASEY JONES!



The look is heavily inspired by (but not based on!) the artwork found in Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley's "BODYCOUNT" series. The bats, I'm pretty sure, came from Toy Biz WCW Sting figures. I found 'em in my accessories box and painted them up.

The original figure and a panel from Bodycount are in the corners.
