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
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.

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.
