That body isn't too bad actually. I could see an Ajax pulled out of that. All the other figs would need to be equally buff to make it work but he isn't bad.

As far as starting my own company - it's a dream of mine. I've been thinking of writing a book on how to customize actions figures as a first step.

Whole lotta magic.

Actually, the rocker and warbird are from a scan of an actual set of patches. I shrunk them down via the "magic" of computers and printed them on color paper. The paper was laminated with a clear, flat seal (so their is no shine). Then I cut the patches out and glued down onto the pleather vest.

That is really sweet man... How much did it cost you to make him?

The base figure was the only cost because I have a ton of paints and customizing materials at home - been at the custom figure game for a while. The base costs $19.00 because it's a premium figure that just came out. In a few months the price will drop considerably and I plan to scoop up more.

I've seen some of these before. Lions did a great job capturing the look of the series 1 figures. He did so well on the Turnbull AC, Orphans and Riffs that they look store bought. I'm tempeted to do some rival gangs but I'm forcing myself to stay focused on the Warriors. If Mezco could focus then I wouldn't need to make my own darn figs!
