[Sinestros Might]

Freddie this Griffin is amazing. Love the mix of parts. Man i gotta hit up th dollar stores for fodder. And that Quiksilver redo is fn slick. 

[fp_spirit]

Damn, you've got skills man! Griffin is amazing. And the paint job on Quicksilver looks like something M1 would do. And M1 does fantastic shading on his figures.

...AND CONTINUING ON WITH CUSTOMS FROM THE YEAR 2007

Base Figure: Marvel Legends Silver Anniversary Wolverine
Height: 6.00 inches

RECIPE:
took the silver anniversary wolvie...replaced head with a different wolvie head, dremeled out inside of mask and attached to back of neck, curved needles for claws, vinyl belt, hand painted and airbrushed it for shading. I was trying to base this custom off the Miller artwork on the comic.

I traded this figure to GeeJay as a swap for a custom of one of my original characters he made for me.

A little JET JAGUAR history...
Jet Jaguar was a human-sized robot created by inventor Goro Ibuki.
Having been stolen by the underground nation of Seatopia,
Jet Jaguar's mission was to guide Megalon to Tokyo so the insect kaiju could destroy it.
Eventually, however, Goro regained control of Jet Jaguar and sent him to fetch
Godzilla from Monster Island. As Godzilla made his way to Japan,
 Jet Jaguar flew back to the mainland and faced Megalon. Increasing his size to fifty meters,
 Jet Jaguar attacked Megalon and was winning the battle until the cyborg Gigan arrived to provide Megalon
 some back-up. The two evil beasts were too much for Jet Jaguar, who was beaten senseless until Godzilla
 arrived. After a long fight, Godzilla and Jet Jaguar were able to defeat their foes,
 sending Megalon back to Seatopia and Gigan back into outer space. After the fight,
Jet Jaguar reverted to his normal size, and returned to his home with Goro.
Jet Jaguar displays his thanks to Godzilla by flashing a unique brand of sign language and
hand signals to him. The film concludes with a jaunty theme song extoling the virtues of Jet Jaguar.
 Jet Jaguar was the result of a contest Toho had in mid-to-late 1972 for fans to come up with a new hero
 for them to use (to capitalize on the many tokusatsu and anime superhero and super robot shows that were
all the rage at the time).
The winner of the contest submitted the drawing of a robot called Red Arone.
The robot resembled both Ultraman and Mazinger Z (both of which were very popular at the time).
The robot was renamed "Jet Jaguar" and was set to star in a film vehicle for him,
titled Jet Jaguar Vs. Megalon, which pitted him against Megalon (a previously unused Godzilla monster design).
However, Toho figured Jet Jaguar would not be able to carry the film on his own, in screen appearance or marketing value
(which was a big thing with Toho), so during pre-production, even after doing some tests and storyboards,
the project was shut down for several weeks, until screenwriter Shinichi Sekizawa was called in to rewrite
the script to add Godzilla and Gigan to have more marquee value. The resulting film, Godzilla vs. Megalon,
paired Godzilla with Jet Jaguar against both Megalon and Gigan

RECIPE:
Base Figure: WWE wrestler
Height: 7.00 inches

...used the wrestler as a base figure, sculpted the head,
 added vinyl for the arms and legs and painted it up.
this figure didn't turn out as good as I would've liked but,
 I love Jet Jaguar and giant robots like shogun warriors and this contest(this was a Figure Realm contest
about Robots)
 gave me a reason to do a custom of one of my favorite robots that actually
got me into liking giant robots back in 1976 when I first saw the
GODZILLA vs MEGALON movie on tv for the first time. I'd like to make a better one  of these, since it's been over
3 years since I made this one. I still have this figure.

[TalonSoulbender]
