Put some painted and unpainted casts up for sale on eBay including various UV reactive Black Series scale lightsabers, the melted Vader helmet, and Kanan's blaster: http://ebay.to/2beRcoJ
Molded and cast the SDCC 2016 melted Vader mask accessory and painted up with Testors acrylics to be more charred and weathered.
Sweet Christmas!
Marvel Legends SDCC Luke Cage headcasts painted up with Testors Acrylics and a little bit of Tamiya mixed in.
Quick shot of some painted resin casts of Black Series scale lightsabers with UV reactive fluorescent blades fitted into them.

Another mock up for an idea that's been rumbling around. Been meaning to make some metroids to go with the Figma Samus and I've got 6 of these Doctor Dreadful canisters that I've yet to make proper use of. FUSION-HA!!
Jotting down a few ideas.
Wait. When did I breach 200 likes!? Party Trooper approves!

Dance magic dance.
Revamped the articulation on the Freddy Skelly to have a full range of motion.
Original figure:
-ball socketed neck and gloved right hand
-swivel shoulders, hips, and torso
Articulation Upgrade:
-Swivel hinged shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles (rocker style)
-Swivel left wrist and thighs (above the knees since the knee joints plug into the tibia)
-Revoltech joint at the torso
Based off of Raybot's Fury. Sculpted the facial hair and eyepatch with Green Stuff onto a Drax head and put on a Commander Rogers body.
Painted the head, torso detailing, and dark leather wash with Testors Acrylics.
"We can rebuild him. Better than he was before. Better, Faster, Stronger."
One hodgepodge of these parts:
IM3 Legends Ultron base, XMC Magneto lower legs, ML Deathlok head, forearms, backpack and gun, and RoML Fantomex belt.
Sculpted the shoulder pads, chest emblem, collar, and bits of the head with Procreate Putty. Painted up with Testors Acrylics.
The backpack is removable. :D
Used a masked RoML Daken as a base, sculpted the bandages, hand and feet armor flaps, as well as the mask around the head in Procreate Putty and made sure to keep all the original articulation that wasn't redundant.
The removable(!) claws originally came from The Casting Cave. I split those apart and dremeled sockets into the knuckles so they can be slightly adjustable and removable.
Painted up in Testors Acrylics.
Straight repaint of the original figure. Tried to cover up some of the lines on the torso using Procreate putty with moderate success.
Upcoming Marvel Legends X-Force Deathlok! Will post more pics when he's finished along with a couple other Marvel Legends companions.
Started both of these guys a while ago in order to put them with my Smash Bros based import collection. Base figures were some unarticulated Mario and Luigi 3" - 3.5" figures (might be called Sofubi at least on eBay) and modded them with full articulation including swivel hinged neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, and ball socketed wrists and ankles. Used an assortment of Star Wars, GI Joe, and Marvel Universe fodder figures for the donor joints and limbs, sculpted up parts of the detailing on the torsos and around the skeleton legs with Green Stuff and Procreate Putty, and painted them up with Testors Acrylics.
Preview for my customized Mario Bros figures.
Just in time for Hellboy's 20th Anniversary!
Upgraded the articulation on this little guy to include swivel hinge elbows, hips, knees, ankles, ballsocketed wrist, and revoltech jointed tail. Just a bunch of dremeling, X-actoing, sculpting, sanding, and a bit pf paintmatching along with slightly better paint for the eyes.
Dale Horvath headsculpt from The Walking Dead played by Jeffrey DeMunn. Sculpted in Super Sculpey Firm, cast in resin, and painted with Testors Acrylics. Scaled to work with McFarlane's Walking Dead line. Will have more pics up when I have the body mocked up. :D
head - sculpted in super sculpey firm and green stuff and used dr strange ears
torso and arms - Dr Strange with green stuff sculpted over parts of it
hands - Falcon
legs - Ghostrider
accessories - Blade weapons casts, GI Joe sword and scabbard
Work In Progress shots :D
Updated my old BW with the headsculpt from the Avengers Assemble BW figure. Also repainted the soles of her feet to show up more flat grey than they did before.
Breakdown:
-X-23 body
-MU BW forearms, belt, bracers/stingers
-AA BW head
Marvel Universe female body thigh fix:
So you got a Marvel Universe X-23, Jubilee, Rogue, Elektra, and this here Ladypool but found that their hip articulation is complete crap. If it's a problem and you feel a bit tinkery, pop the hips with a hair dryer or warm water and dremel, drill, or x-acto a notch at the top of the thigh socket and then trim away at the area around the hips for more clearance. Done and done.
WIP shot of Domino and her incredibly striking eyes. Made from a Lady Jaye head and an Avengers Black Widow. Chest harness and collar sculpted in green stuff.

MU Collector Club - Custom of the week No. 24: Noodlechow's Rocket Raccoon Custom of the week No. 24: Noodlechow's Rocket Raccoon
Took a 3.5" Mario figure and overhauled his lack of articulation using a couple random Star Wars figures (plo koon, random alien jedi, and some... firefighters?) as well as ball pegs from MU and SHS figures.
Joints are as follows:
-swivel hinged neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees
-ball/socketed wrists (barbell style), and ankles (straight up ball sockets)
Also to break up the marvel stuff, I've got a plumber in the works to go with some smashing imports. Will post some WIP shots tonight.
Almost completely revamped the Rocket Raccoon figure that came in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 pack.
Added articulation:
-swivel hinged shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles (rocker type)
-swivel wrists and waist (can't see it but he totally does!)
Some extra Guardians of the Galaxy group love along with a sneak peak at my fully articulated Rocket Raccoon upgrade. Thanks for the likes, guys!! :D
Used a comic pack She-Hulk as the base with sculpted skull buckles, tiara, bikini outfit, and glove and thigh boot cuffs. cape came from a random Count Dooku figure and belt was part of the Cable harness.
Just an upgrade really. Added buttons, helmet detailing, rocker ankles, and his WW1 styled spats.
