Moronarama Custom Figures
« on: September 20, 2018, 07:10:48 AM »
I'm new here, and feeling a little out classed.  The level of work here is amazing.  I try to do a bathc of customs every month, I do a lot of crossover figures and then original designs.  I'm still working on my sculpting skills, so it's mostly kit bashes and head swaps. Anyhow, here are some of my custom from my September batch.  Let me know what you think.

Available on eBay until 09/23/18.

Welcome aboard Moronarama! Well, let me tell you I often feel the same about the “out classed” impression. But skills can be improved and the community on here is just outstanding - I think you and me made the best choice by signing up here!

To your customs: they look quite bizarre in a very positive way! I really like them! These are some nice kit-bashes I never expected to ever see...the crab-legged Jedi is probably my favorite of them. Did you use the Acklay legs for it? The head sculpt looks phenomenal as well!

Thanks for sharing, keep your head up and  regards from Germany!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.  Glad to join the community.

DarthMore: The legs for the spider guy are from a TMNT Movie Spider Araknor figure.  The head is from some modular Socket-Popper style spider toy that I haven't been able to identify.  I picked it up at some garage sale.  It was too cool not to use.

Jodo: Nautolan is the Kit Fisto race ... I have to use Wookiepedia a lot :)  The Clone Wars Kit Fisto heads are great for females if you shave down the chin a little.

Wow, this is a special background story for this custom! Garage sales are always exciting! Didn't identify the legs. There are still so many action figure lines I don't know, yet. 
With the current bid of $29 I expect it to go up far more! Fingers crossed for all your auctions! I'll watch them attentively. Or do you also ship to Germany? eBay shows me $28.92 for shipping to Germany...


Dude, the Samurai Vader looks so great, too! Is Snit Duecit, the Kitonak Jedi, based on an actual character?
And are you going to share new customs monthly?

Darth More - I can ship to Germany, and it should only be about $15, not sure where eBay is getting thier price.  If you win let me know and I can make arrangements. 
And the Kitonak is not from any existing character, I just like to give my customs names.  Snit is actually an alias of Droopy McCool according to Woopkiepedia, and Duecit just rhymed.
I plan on posting monthly, there are some months the day job/kids/life prevent me from getting much done, but I've been trying to finish some monthly.  I will probable also post some my older ones tat I thought were particularly good.

FialaFernburg - Thanks for the welcome.  I try to create something different, the weirder the better.

Folks there are 10 more custom auctions there other than the great ones he posted here. They are way more than reasonable prices. Time to spread the news about your auctions.

Once again welcome to ISY.

Moronarama thank you so much for your support! I currently bid on two of your phenomenal customs and this would be it. The showdown will be very exciting tonight (for me 2 am local time...).

Let's see what happens...

Nice work on these customs. Its great that you have posted some of your work. I hope we get to see more. I really like your arachnid Jedi and you're right, that head was definitely too good to pass up (might work well for an Admiral Trench) - too bad you couldn't identify its original line.

Really fun - I like the way you used heads from other toy lines to build new "species."
