*** Head on over to my Ebay Auctions to see what’s available this week, or commission me if you’d like your very own custom action figure like this one. ***

Don’t forget to check out the video I made for these custom action figures near the bottom of the page to see some exclusive WIP (work in progress) photos!

This set of custom action figures was a commission from a groom to be who wanted to give these to his groomsmen as gifts. He and his friends are Marvel fans, so he requested that I recreate their likenesses as members of the Avengers. The new Hulk head came from a wrestler figure, whose name I forget, but he looks like a 19th century strong man. I had to shave his mustache, and sculpt an entire head of hair over his bald head. The new Cap head started out as a DST Angel head. I pushed the hairline up some and gave him a new hairdo. The new Thor head came from a TNA Eric Young, with sculpted beard and resculpted hair. The new Iron Man head came from a Stargate Teal’c. I removed the forehead symbol, gave him a mustache, and hollowed out an Iron Man head, cut out the face plate, and stuffed the new head inside, so you could see his face.

Some time after this, I was contacted by one of the former groomsmen wanting to get the aforementioned groom his own Avengers custom action figure. Since all the other spots were taken, he felt it was appropriate to turn him into Nick Fury. His head started out as a TNA Sonjay Dutt. I sculpted on his beard, resculpted the hair, and gave him an eyepatch. It’s maybe a bit of a weird set of custom action figures, but I enjoyed doing something different and I really liked the sentiment behind it. If nothing else, I certainly honed my hair sculpting skills!

  2. I am the proud owner of the awesome Nick Fury action figure in the picture above. I keep him in a case on my desk at work and was happily showing him off to yet another co-worker today. I showed him this website like I do with everyone else but this time I noticed the link to the actual set John made for me. The pictures, while awesome don’t do the figures justice. I was so impressed by John’s work and it meant a great deal seeing the care he took in sculpting each face to so closely resemble people who mean so much to me. Thank you again John for helping to make such a great memory.
