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.

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.

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.
