Batman 1989 Movie Style DC Universe Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

For the cape, I dediced to do something extra. I took some black rayon material, and used a movie accurate cape pattern to make it. I then made a second cape, and added some wires running through the top for Batman to hold in his hands outstretched to mimic when he first appears in the movie. And now this custom Batman 1989 action figure is ready to take down the criminals of Gotham City!

Batman 1989 Movie Style DC Universe Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

This involved taking apart the entire figure, including removing the head from inside the cowl (yes there's a full Michael Keaton face under there). All the pieces were prepped, and then painted. I even put detailing in the face, including the black makeup around the eyes.

Batman 1989 Movie Style DC Universe Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

Due to the way the license is set up, NECA wasn't allowed to make a straight 7" figure of Michael Keaton's Batman portrayal from 1989. The only way they could do it is to paint it in the old NES video game colors. I decided to change it and repaint the entire thing to look like the movie.

Ra's Al Ghul League of Shadows (Movie Style) DC Universe 6" Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

The head was also completely repainted, and I even sculpted in to remove that weird open mouth gap he had before. One katana later and Leauge of Shadows Ra's Al Ghul is ready to take down Batman and do all that is necessary to cleanse the world of corruption!

Ra's Al Ghul League of Shadows (Movie Style) DC Universe 6" Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

I fused the Batman Begins forearms to Ra's arm, and used Aves Apoxie Sculpt to blend it in and fill in the gaps. I also added plating to the back of the hands (including the rivets!) with styrene. I replaced the lower cloak with fabric. The belt is made using strip styrene, with the belt buckle being fodder that happened to be perfectly movie accurate. Everything was repainted the dark brown of the costume from the movie, with the gauntlets dry brushed lightly for a metallic look.

Ra's Al Ghul League of Shadows (Movie Style) DC Universe 6" Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

I always wanted Mattel to make a proper Ra's Al Ghul Batman Begins figure, but they never did. I couldn't let that stand, so here I bring you Ra's Al Ghul in full League of Shadows ninja gear! Ra's al Ghul was made using a Star Wars the Black Series Episode 3 Obi-Wan Kenobi, the head from a Movie Masters Ra's Al Ghul, and the forearms from a Movie Masters Batman Begins Batman.

Predator Armor Dutch Schaefer (Movie Concept) NECA Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

I glued all the armor down, and even attached a net launcher from a NECA Predator 2 figure. So now that Dutch is utilizing all the weapons and armor of his greatest enemy, he's ready to hunt down every last Predator that makes its way to Earth!

Predator Armor Dutch is made using a NECA Jungle Encounter Dutch, and a NECA Predator, of course. I stripped off all the armor and weapons from the Predator, and basically attached them to Dutch. I used the two pack Dutch, which was all bloodied, so I had to completely repaint him to clean him up. I had to do some major dremeling to the Predator wrist gauntlets, and to Dutch's forearms, to get them to slip on. I had to dremel some of Dutch's side to get the armor to fit right as well.

Predator Armor Dutch Schaefer (Movie Concept) NECA Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

The design for Predator Armor Dutch was inspired by a mix of the old Kenner toys, and my desire to see Dutch show up again in another Predator movie. I thought it would have been cool to see Dutch hunting Predators for the U.S. government. Imagine if Schwarzennegger was in the Predators movie, but in the Laurence Fishburne role of Nolan! That would have been awesome.

Batman Arkham Origins (Battle Damaged W/ Shock Gloves) 6" DC Universe Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

I also gave Batman his shock gloves. In the game, Batman gets these from the Electrocutioner. Once again, I wanted to make sure they were accurate. I used a combination of some styrene rods, Aves Apoxie Sculpt, and some electronic wiring to put the gloves together. I made sure they wouldn't interfere with articulation, and would be nice and sturdy. All that was left was to paint everything up, and dry brush some gray all over the figure to give it a weathered look!

Batman Arkham Origins (Battle Damaged W/ Shock Gloves) 6" DC Universe Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

I wanted Batman to look battle damaged, as he does late in the game. I actually researched stills from the game to make sure the battle damage was accurate. To achieve the damage, I used my dremel on some parts (such as the bullet mark on the chest), but for most of it I used my carbide scriber to dig into the figure to actually give the damage dimension. I then painted inside each damage mark with some silver paint to show the metal plating underneath shining through.

Thor the Dark World W/ Cloth Poseable Cape Marvel Select Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

To attach it, I cut off the cape clasps from the Thor figure, and dremelled a hole in each side. The cape was then threaded through, including the wire. I then hot glued it down to the shoulder pads, and carefully reattached the cape clasps. A little paint later to touch everything up, and now Thor is ready to fight with a much more regal looking poseable cape!

Thor the Dark World W/ Cloth Poseable Cape Marvel Select Custom Action Figure - Mint Condition Customs

The Marvel Select Thor Dark World figure is cool, but I wanted to give him a better looking cloth poseable cape. I made my own pattern for it, carefully measured of course, and cut it out in this really great red material that wasn't too heavy and looked nice for the scale. I used some hemming tape to wrap some bendy armature wire down each side of the cape so it could be poseable.

The Wedding Avengers (Groomsmen & Groom Gifts) 6" Marvel Legends Custom Action Figures - Created September 29th, 2014 - Mint Condition Customs

The new Nick Fury head started out as a TNA Sonjay Dutt. I sculpted on his beard, resculpted the hair, and gave him an eyepatch. It's maybe a bit of a weird set of custom action figures, but I enjoyed doing something different and I really liked the sentiment behind it. If nothing else, I certainly honed my hair sculpting skills!

The Wedding Avengers (Groomsmen & Groom Gifts) 6" Marvel Legends Custom Action Figures - Created September 29th, 2014 - Mint Condition Customs

The new Thor head came from a TNA Eric Young, with sculpted beard and resculpted hair. The new Iron Man head came from a Stargate Teal'c. I removed the forehead symbol, gave him a mustache, and hollowed out an Iron Man head, cut out the face plate, and stuffed the new head inside, so you could see his face.
