KodyKoala's Custom Mario Mech Vinyl Figure
ekoala2002 | 8:03 PM on 02.05.2010 9 comments




Here is something that my brother and I have been talking about for a while. We thought it would be cool to have characters from the Super Mario Universe drive giant Mechs of themselves. I decided to do Mario first because, well, that is all they had at Toys'r'us when I went. I used a giant Mario Vinyl Figure and a Mario Keychain. For the Cock-pit, I used the pit from an Avatar Amp Suit.



If you want to see more pictures, head over to My Flickr Page to see more pictures and a closer look at the cockpit. As always, I love constructive criticism, so let me know what I can do better.

KodyKoala's Custom Boy and His Blob Figure
ekoala2002 | 8:35 AM on 12.16.2009 9 comments




Here is my latest custom. I just picked up Boy and His Blob for Wii, and I love it! I had to make a custom figure and I had the perfect base to make it. I used a Revoltech Yotsuba figure and sculpted everything else. I had to shorted the legs, arms, and torso to get the proportions right, but in the end it came out. Check out My Flickr Page to see more pics.

Custom King Hippo Action Figure
ekoala2002 | 4:34 PM on 10.02.2009 10 comments




I have finally made a King Hippo Custom Figure. I was having a hard time finding a base figure to use, but I found a figure that is perfect.



I used a Blob build-a-figure as the base and the results came out really cool. For this piece, I went for form over function, so the legs do not move, but the arms, head, and feet still move.



I have had this done for a while, but I haven't had a chance to post it. I was beat out by fugazi's awesome custom king hippo. As always, I appreciate constructive criticism. Check out the other pictures at My Flickr Site

Dr. Wily, Gutsman, and Metal Man Custom Figures
ekoala2002 | 11:16 AM on 08.11.2009 14 comments




I always wondered why Dr. Wily never created an awesome Robot suit to kick Megaman's butt. Here is what I imagined a Dr. Wily mech would look like. I tried to stay true to Dr. Wily's style by using a skull on the front and a bubble top for him to look down on things.



I also made Gutsman and Metalman. I made these look a little more industrial because they were working robots that were reprogrammed to be evil, or so the plot of Megaman 1 says.



I tried to keep the color schemes really close to the original, but I did change some things, especially on Metalman.

Custom Wario Action Figure

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.

Custom Chibi Robo is Here to Clean Up
ekoala2002 | 3:26 PM on 05.29.2009 7 comments




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.





Let me know what you think, and as always, I love constructive criticism.
