CUSTOM Walking Dead Merle 1:18 Scale

-
 I'm a big fan of The Walking Dead TV series so I HAD to make some custom action figures from TWD. I thought that Merle Dixon would make a really cool custom on the 1:18 scale. He's got a great storyline and the arm attachment really adds to his character.

Making a Custom Merle:

What I'm most proud of it the construction and sculpting of Merle Dixon's bayonet right arm attachment because it is completely functional and removable from mid-forearm down. The knife isn't removable but that would be a neat thing to include on any future custom Merles. Speaking of which, there are 2 versions of Merle from Season 3 of Walking Dead that I would like to make, this is one and the other would be an undead zombie  walker  biter Merle (whichever you prefer to call it lol).

How to for Search Engine Optimization:

It is beneficial to be somewhat redundant with the language used in a post like this for the purpose of helping readers find my site in google or whichever search engine you prefer to use. For example, anyone looking for a custom action figure of Merle Dixon from The Walking Dead TV series has a much better chance of coming across this post because of the redundant descriptive string of words used about Merle and Merle's arm in this post. A little off topic, sure, but I like to keep my readers informed and provide explanations when I can.

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
