Custom Action Figure "Virba"

-
I made this one for a dear friend of mine. He came up with the name and back-story for Virba. She is a sister to Marvel Universe's Storm from X-Men. I unfortunately deleted a lot of pics of custom action figures from my computer a while back so this is all I have of her, but trust me her face is very detailed. I always put an emphasis on a character's face when I'm customizing action figures. I think that a well painted face will make or break a figure.

I will post individual pictures of these custom figures later on. In the photo we have Spiderman's girlfriend, the lovely Mary Jane Watson. In the center of the picture is "Sam", a  new character from my joe-verse. Sam is Gung-Ho's niece.It's kind of difficult to tell from the picture but Sam has a long blonde ponytail in the back. The next custom female on the far right is a female version of The Punisher. I just listed these and a few more on eBay, so be sure to check them out b/c there are many more pictures of them that you can see instantly in the listings. The auctions will end a week from today- next Sunday.

Action Figure Customizing tips about eBay

Action Figure Customizing tips about eBay  Like most toy customizers I tend to buy a lot of action figures, parts and accessories from eBay. You can find really great deals on for customizing figures when you buy custom fodder and figure lots. It's kind of like that old saying: one man's trash is another man's treasure. I don't know how many times I have taken a figure apart and for the recipe I needed and thought to myself what will I do with this fodder (left over pieces and parts). Most of the time I will save them for later use, other times I list my custom fodder on eBay. This is a good way to make extra money from customizing toys.Selling custom fodder on eBay is really a win-win for all parties involved. You get money to reinvest in your customizing business and someone else gets some parts they need to finish their own customizing projects or vice-versa.

Custom G.I. Joe Figure Lady Jaye

Custom G.I. Joe Figure Lady Jaye I wanted to showcase this recent commissioned G.I. Joe Custom Lady Jaye for a very serious action figure collector from youtube (Tim B). You guys should check out his channel because he has one of the most impressive GI Joe figure collections I have ever seen. It's definitely worth your time. Back to Lady Jaye now, for this particular figure the buyer wanted me to incorporate elements from the original 1980s Lady Jaye but also give her a touch of the modern with a more artistic interpretation. This expanded my options for making this custom figure's face, hair and body type. I also tweaked the style of Lady Jay's clothing by adding black knee supports to each leg. Tim wanted her to have long hair instead of the short cropped hair of the traditional 80s Lady Jaye. He also wanted the hat backwards to give a more hip, playful look than her 1980s counterpart. We did stay true to the original bright green color as an homage to the Version 1 198
