I have my eye on you!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! It's a mid-week update! Usually I wait till Sunday or Monday but I can't keep this custom bottled up that long.

IT'S SHUMA GORATH!! 

This is a custom that was 3 years in the making. Probably more since I've been doing customs since Marvel vs Capcom2 came out what, 11 years ago? I had been searching for the perfect tentacles and eye for Shuma. I wanted him exactly as I envisioned. Just recently it all came together... and you get...


 

That guy! Mr cosmic squid himself in all his green glory. Man I'm proud of this one. Took a lot of sculpting too. For all those of you that requested him on a weekly basis, I hope the wait was worth it. Thanks for keeping me stoked about making him!

HA! so this is the MvC character you were talkin about. Sweet. Not many people make customs of the lesser-known characters, but this is good! McFarlan's always got what ya need, when ya need it. And nice save on the Christmas nose! I always try to get the cheapest thing, It usually turns out to be the best.

Nakashima, out.

Man, I've used soooo many parts from McFarlane figures over the years like all the Matrix heads and such. I just wish they were more articulated!

Yea, McFarlane has only recently started making poseable figure. I'm glade they did that with the Halo Figs, too. I'm trying to find a good bas for a marine, but can't find one in scale. Can ya help me a little?

Holy SHIIIT! I can't believe you pulled this off? And you found a good use for the figs from grendel aswell? Is there anything you can't pull off ;)

So what did you do with all the top halves?

Most of them are still laying in the fodder box. Xenu had the hands from one!

Sorry about that, I hate sculpting and it shows sometimes. Like Mike Crawford says, a great paintjob can elivate a sub-par sculpt and a sub-par paint job can ruin a great sculpt.

It's prefect as long as you get it done. Sorry are for people that do wrong lol you did nothing wrong but give us a unbelievable custom. I believe the up side to all your customs is the paint job. I always like your paint job , yes even on the g.i joe. I'm happy that you got this 3 year old baby done. Did you won that G.I joe thing? I voted for your custom shhhhhhh. One more thing! make some more Mvc 2 custom hint hint the whole cast.
