-->> That Golani is so hawt.. man i wanna big, huge .. monolithic ANIMUS to fight her now !! !!

*Cipher* · 03-08-2010, 09:48 PM

Well, that's unmistakably Golani. And that's a good thing. It's not as striking or dynamic as your other figures, but it completely matches the character.

Now you've fleshed out TMNTA enough. Mirage and the '87 toon need some attention.

Hey the Wrestling turtles are interchangeable. I can't wait to see more either.

Hello!

I´d like to ask u something, Vaughn.

As u have customized a terrific carnage figure, I´d like to ask u about the figures i can use to create my own..ehh... neca toys.

Do the motu 200x and dc universe r good figures to customize? I mean, a female figure from the dc super heroes has the same size as the april´s neca??

Wonder woman and big barda could be good figures to make a renet figure.

About male figures, I think merman from the motu 200x line would be ok to create the sea creatures that appeared in the second volume of tmnt.

Thank u!

Thanks so much

I'd say the new MOTU Classics line that Mattel is putting out along with the Dc Universe Classics are perfect for NECA TMNT customs because of the fact that they are all sculpted by the 4 horsemen.
And the DCUC female figures are just a little bit taller than NECA April, but to me that's not a big issue they aren't really that much bigger.
My opinion of NECA April is that she is just a bit to small.
You're pretty close on choices for Renet, I say go for it.
I'm using a DCUC female for renet myself and will be posting her soon enough.
I wouldn't use merman myself for those characters perhaps a basic DCUC male figure, if you look at them they're rather human like besides their heads, hands, and feet.
Hope this helps and sorry it took me awhile to get back to you I've not been around.

TMNachoT · 04-20-2010, 06:20 AM

Cheers, vaughn! U did a fantastic job with the etrigan figure, so i am looking forward to see that renet figure!

I think we all should get a petition going to make Vaughn the head of toy development at Playmates. Every single one of those is utterly awesome, great work. I especially love the Grybyx 'cause I never thought I'd see him, even in custom form. Stupendous! I can't wait to see what you do with Gnatrat.

Have you thought about making any other Archie characters yet (besides Warrior Dragon)? I have a plan to try and make everyone from Chameleon to Toxeem eventually. But if you are going to make any of those I might as well wait and see how it's done properly, lol. Though once I finish up some current customs that have been going on far too long, Sarnath is next on my list, any input on a good base?

Again wonderful work on every one of those, thanks for sharing!

Well thank you so much! I wish i could get Playmates line at least in order.
My list of characters right now is Renet, Gnatrat, Gizmo, Fluff, Old Toon Rocksteady w/ his belly, Nobody, Cha Ocho, Triceraton, and Warrior Dragon (who is almost done and let me tell you he towers over the turtles.)

There are allot of Archie characters I would love to do like Bellybomb, but it's just a matter of waiting for the right body to come along for me to sculpt over.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-22-2010, 12:03 AM

Any way you can post Golani right into this thread?

I've been wanting to do GnatRat as well...If I ever found the right figure to use you can bet there would be a "Fanny-Whacker" variant...

I'm not sure what you mean by posting her right? she's on the first page w/ the other images.

Gnatrats base is pretty much a no brainer.

Okay, I found her.

What are you planning to use for GnatRat? Maybe I'm just tired, or it's not coming to me because I'm thinking about it too hard.

Oh ok, I thought for a moment maybe something was wrong with the image.

And You'll see soon enough, it's funny because it didn't even cross his creator Mark Martin's mind lol.

I have some parts I plan to use for Bellybomb, namely his mouth, but I need to figure out a better "fatboy" base to integrate it into. I can't wait to see your Chu Hsi, I plan on using a Foom for him too eventually, but first I need one for my Legends collection. I hope you plan on making a Super Foot Soldier to fight him eventually, maybe an ML Sentinel as a base? Did you make him yellow or red (I hope yellow)?

Did I read correctly that you are planning on using a Killowog CnC for Triceraton? I would've never thought of that but it would be a really impressive base to use. I just put mine next to my Neca Turtles and I see how awesome it could be. I hope he's next on your list, after Gnatrat of course.

Yeah you need to get playmates in order for sure. Maybe you can teach them about making joints too, beyond how to sculpt. If the fans with talent like you, and other customizers on this board, were able to run Playmates TMNT line it would be number 1 in every store. Instead, TMNT is blacklisted from Walmart and Playmates just goes along thinking nothing's wrong with their product, just the franchise.

Have you finished anyone and if you have, how about some pictures? I might get ideas for my own ones from those too...
