Deathstroke the Terminator and Prince Adam! I am staying pretty strong to my self-inflicted "Use up what I have" custom policy to cut back on expenses. These two customs were fun to make, though a bit time consuming. I know a lot of folks don't care for the MM body, but it worked to give Adam a puny-feel next to my BnB MOTU figures. Thanks for looking and feel free to leave your thoughts.     I now see some blemishes that were missed thanks to the pics. |

It must be Deathstroke week here. You have created another great figure of him. When you say "BnB MOTU", that means Masters Of The Universe custom figures made with WWE Build N Brawl figures? I would like to see them. If you can point me towards them if they are posted here. |

Most of those BnB figures would make for perfect MOTU homages. Clever idea. And Adam looks like he'd fit right in. Digging Deathstroke as well. Not bad at all for a spare parts figure. |

Deathstroke is fantastic. The heads look really well done. and that torso looks amazing. Adam actually isn't that bad. The vest covers up the shoulders and the loin cloth covers up the crotchal area enough to make it work ok. |

I dig 'em both - Deathstroke is awesome - what head did you use for his unmasked look? Adam looks great - the MM body works well here, and the Wild Bill vest is a great idea - I need to shave down a couple of mine and try that. My only critique is that Adam's neck looks off - I'd maybe trim it down more on the neck so that it can look more natural on the post. But other than that, he's perfect. And good idea using the Crystar sword for the Power Sword

Come on those figures suck and don't look a thing like Deathstroke or Adam. I think you need to send them to me to dispose of properly. Really send them to me now. |

Thanks guys for the comments, and kudos to Chief for picking up on the Crystar sword. The unmasked Slade head was a lumbjerjack Logan head slightly modded with sculpey. I had originally planned on using the head for a Ra's al Ghul fig, but opted for Slade instead. They were fun to make, even though orange is still a bear to paint. Here's a pic of my other MOTU customs using BNB figures (couldn't find the link to my original posts)

Death stroke has a 1992 cobra look to him. |

I was going to tell you to shush and stop giving away my secrets, then I scrolled down and saw his other pics. Now all I can say is 'dammit.' After seeing his, I have some ideas on where to go with a couple of mine, but I bet mine don't turn out nearly as well as his. Nice job, TR101AL. I like them all, even Adam (who has two strikes against him for me normally: 1) he's Adam and 2) it's a MM body. Never cared for Adam and MM bodies just usually don't work. But you pulled it off). Are you working on any other He-Man figs? If so, care to tell who? |

The customs wouldn't be much of anything without the awesome Tri-gate heads. Thanks to Mysterious Stranger, I also found that TGC has Merman's head, so he'll be a to-do down the line. |
