Bouncing Boy

Bouncing Boy is an older kit produced by Stew. I’ve had it for years and just now got around to assembling and painting it. Aside from inserting magnets for the joints and some minor clean-up, it did not require much work. Created November 2020 (read more...)

Spy Smasher

Several years ago I was at a point in life where time was in short supply. My mental health required that I continue making customs, but I didn’t have much time for it. I found a viable solution in 37 Custom Toys! I asked 37C if he would be willing (read more...)

Wonder Woman (Western)

Back in the day, GeekVariety cranked out some great kits. I always appreciated how he pushed his own limits, improving with every round, and cooking up some characters and designs we didn’t often see. This Wonder Woman (in her western garb from “The Once and Future Thing part 1”) is (read more...)

Wonder Woman (Kid Stuff)

Kid Stuff Wonder Woman uses Stew’s kit for the body. I don’t recall making any changes to it. I did, however, use a different noggin for the head. I happened to have an old Legend of Zelda figure in the parts box. (I bought it on clearance thinking it might (read more...)

Superman (Kid Stuff)

Highfather

Highfather is made from Stew’s kit. His cape was stolen from Aquaman. And since I was stealing Arthur’s cape, I also stole his gauntlets too. The zigzags on his belt I whipped up digitally and printed, because I refuse to paint that many crisp lines. Created August 2016 (read more...)

Martha Kent

Martha Kent I’ve always enjoyed the interpretation of the Kents as seen on Superman: the Animated Series. Thus I wanted figures of them on my shelf. I decided it was time to fill that void. I put a lot of thought into how to start building Martha. The problem (read more...)
