Here is what I think Wario would look like if he were an action figure. I found the base figure at a flea market, and the rolls made me think that he would make a good Wario figure.
I never realized how feminine a guy could look with purple overalls, until I started to paint him. Luckily I was able to darken up the purple, and make it a bit more masculine. My favorite part is probably the mustache. I wanted a different style of mustache for this figure, and I thought that it would look cool to connect to the side burns.

After playing Chibi Robo on the Gamecube and DS, I wanted one to clean up my house for me, but unfortunately nano robotics isn't quite there yet. So, I decided to at least have a figure of Chibi to remind me to someday build one that actually works. I used Lego Bricks to make the head, arms and legs, and I used a highlighter to make the body. I also used a plug from an old game system to make...well...the plug. If you want to see more pictures, head over to My Flickr Page and check out all of the awesome pictures.

Here is something that I thought would be cute, and it only took be about 20 minutes to do. As you all know, I love Super Mario Bros. It was only natural to make a custom Koala based on the game. I would have made one sooner, but I couldn't figure out what to use for the hat. Luckily, I found an old Mario plush that I won from a claw machine, and used parts from that. I really wasn't trying to be perfect, it was just a cute project. I am working on a bunch of other projects to, and they will be out eventually. I hope that everyone in the community is doing well!

I found a wind-up bowling game somewhere, and I thought that the ball would make a great Bob-omb with some adjustments. It was fairly simple to do, and the end result is pretty impressive. It reminds me of the Bob-omb from the Super Mario Movie, except mine is cooler, because that movie really sucked. The only thing is that this jumps and does not walk. Check out the video to see what I mean:
This was just a fun little project, and I really didn't put a whole lot of time into it, but I think it came out cute. Let me know what you think.
Here is something I did because I did not like the original vinyl figure. The original Gutsman figure, only had 3-4 points of articulation. I wanted a Gutsman that could look like he was throwing the huge boulders, so I redid him with better joints. I used the same LEGO joints that I did when I made my Custom Airman figure. I love this figure a lot more now that it can do more. The only other thing that I want to do is to make the figures and hands movable, but I haven't found the right parts to make it look correct. If you want to see more, check out My Flickr Site. Here is a picture of the original for comparison.

Boredom can drive a person to create a lot of interesting things. Here is something that I made when I was bored at work on day. I think it came out pretty cool, and at least it is recognizable. Check out more pictures at My Flickr Page
Addiction comes in many forms, but one is a really lame game that I have come to love. Animal crossing is a very cute and very addictive game for the collector. The whole point of the game is to collect furniture and other things to fill your house. I am an avid pack rat, so this game is really fun for me.
I thought that I would turn my addiction into something creative to show off my love of this game. I used an 8" egg qee and a 2.5" bear qee to create these customs. I wanted to make it look like I stenciled the characters on, so I did not outline any of them.
I have posted a bunch of pictures on My Flickr if you would like to see more.
As always, I love to hear comments, and any critiques would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on updating everyday this week, so keep an eye out of my website.
Here is my latest custom of Mario, Princess Peach and Toad action figures. They look a little creepy, and the Princess ended up being a little too albino, but I think they were decent for only my second attempts at action figures. The Princess was the hardest, because I had to get the face just right, and I don't think I did a great job, but for now it will do. Check out the rest of the pics at My Flickr Page.
Here is my custom Airman figure. A couple of weeks ago, a video showed up on youtube that showed someone who made one from a Gundam model and an electric motor. I couldn't afford the parts to recreate his efforts, so I decided to try to make one with thing that I had lying around the house, which happened to be a crap load of Lego bricks.
Using Mighty Putty and super glue, I was able to create this figure. Check out all the pictures at My Flickr Page
I know the idea isn't exactly original, but I think it came out decent. If you have any comments or criticisms, let me know. Thanks
I have actually had the Mario finished for a while now, but it has taken me a while to get the hammers made. I thought the munny form well suited Mario in this form. Not much to say about this except that I made the hammers from scratch, which was a real pain. I used acrylic paint, mighty putty for the hammers, epoxy putty for the Mario sculpt, and an old plastic Easter egg for the shell. Check out more pictures at My Flickr Page.
