Mirage Comics Style Ninja Turtle Custom Figure

[KirkyMonster]

My Rat King custom doesn't show up anymore so here is for anyone who missed it the first time. I waited a long time to post this Shredder since it is based on a custom I had seen on the Drome that is no longer up. I would love to give credit where it is due so let me know if it was your Shredder that inspired mine.

Here is my original Casey Jones and another one with legs straightened, a technique I learned from a member of the Drome by the name of Turtles in Time.

Also my head and leg swapped punk frog customs to round out the quartet. I always liked the punk frogs even if they were stupid mostly because they were from Fl which is where I'm originally from.

Here are some undercover Turtles customs. These figures have always had a soft spot in my heart and that whole series got a LOT of play time when I was a wee boy. I still think of every turtle in a costume figure this line would have to be in the top 3, alongside the Shogun turtles (I only owned Leo as a kid), and the Mutant Military line (I own all but Mike now).

Upon doing these customs I believe that Playmates was going to have the turtles swapped around in this line based on head sculpt.
Sewer Samurai Leo = Raph (Full wide open lipped grimace like 88 Raph)
Under Cover Don = Leo (Same sad eyed Leonardo with a hat)
Space Caddet Raph = Don? (Looks similar to 88 Donatello head sculpt with gear)

Sewer Surfer Mike = Original head sculpt and one of my favorite toys EVER. I really want to do this guy as all four turtles but only have 1 in my collection right now.

HAHAHAHA.....weird. That April is intentionally very cheesecake.
Even though I really don't know what I was doing in her construction and the tiny parts would still give me challenges she still remains one of my favorite customs despite all the flaws just because it was the visual mark I wanted to hit with a sexy realistic April figure.

The images aren't showing up for me. Can't see the turtles in your first post.

I no longer have those photos but it's the same turtle fighting Casey Jones on the bottom of the first page. I started this thread over a year ago then neglected it for a while but am trying to beef it up with additional content.

I have more customs on the way that are waiting for some finishing touches, I will try not to take all year getting them done and posted.

Some really nice work in here, Rat King and Ray Fillet are the standouts for me although everything is great.

Those are really good.

Shredder has Super Shredder legs they are not straightened.

For Casey I took a hobby knife and sliced almost all the way through the back of his knees then wedged a small piece of plastic into the cut to force the leg straight, super glue, trim, sculpt, paint. I think it was Turtlesintime that was kind enough to tell me that trick originally.
