The Cheap-O Customizer Thread! Post your under $100 customs!!!

[paramoremcr88]

Loving all the great figures that have been put together so cheaply!

I'd like to add my custom bloody Sweeney Todd, hope you all won't mind but he cost just a little over £100.

I've only got this teaser pic for now as I want to take some photos that do him justice!

That's about $155 paramoremcr88 but i'm not judging

Cheers mando will have to try that.Sewing isn’t my strong suit but end results worth it. Stripes on the arms are more iconic and yours looks great.

Cbob that swamp thing is glorius
Not a comic fan or fan of the character but as I said on elvis’ thread I want to make one now
Got the moss and lots of new glue gun sticks and a spare body so why not?
Looks like good fun and cheap so bonus
What was the original head sculpt?

No idea m8 but anything with a wide mouth and wide open eyes will do

I hoped it'd be ok to do it in £ instead of $!


Here's my amazing custom bloody Sweeney Todd. The fantastic paint job was done by fellow board member Thanatos (Emma T), so big thanks to her!! She painted the head, hands, razor and shirt.

All genuine HT parts and Emma's skills, total cost was £106.

It's like a cool Vanity Fair pic. I would love to do this.

I assume the heads were the most expensive.

Yeah. Tony, Fury, Widow and Loki were all offical HT heads, with the rest being bootlegs.
I was going for an "Actor's photoshoot, in civvie clothes, but *in character*" type of thing.

 

[galactiboy]

Wow, this thread blew up! Some great customs... the casual Avengers crew is brilliant!

I love that Mumm-Ra.
Very cool.

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah your Mumm-Ra is really cool it makes me want to do a mummy now lol.

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks guys I've been trying to psyche myself up to redo my Karloff Mummy... but it's a pricey (if not terribly done) figure and I don't want to mess it up. But it's on my long to-do list.

As for making a Mummy they really aren't that bad, just labor intensive. As you can imagine it's just a lot of torn strips of muslin given a tea bath then glued on with fabric glue. If you're mindful of the body you can retain most of the articulation and end up with a pretty impressive figure.

Nice. What bodies did you use ? Would you mind sharing ? Via email or PM is fine. I didn't want to hijack the thread.
