#11: Captain Planet

 I tried to start watching the Captain Planet show again, but it is so terrible I couldn't stand it.  This custom was created in a month due to lacking some materials.  It was finished in late February 2011.  I actually sanded the apoxie this time and had to redo his mullet a couple times, the overall custom was fun to make.


#10: Kraven the Hunter

Kraven was entered into the fabled Rocket Tournament 4 on the Mighty Muggs forum.  Kraven lost in the second round to Owlman, who eventually won the tournament.  That's the way it goes sometimes.  Kraven's vest was made by apoxie sculpt.  I made the lion head separate and cut the finished product in half with a razor to make the two halves of the vest.  Kraven was finished late 2010.




#9: Ant Man

With the new Mini Mugg line out, I quickly snatched a few sets for customizing.  It's only right that the first Mini Mugg I made was Ant-Man.  I sculpted his helmet with apoxie.  Sadly, I didn't know of this new invention called "sandpaper" so the helmet was a bit too rough and sloppy.


Mock-Ups

Here are some mock-ups I made that haven't made it to vinyl.  Maybe they will someday......

 Hazmat (Avengers Academy)

Beaten Iron Fist 

 Mysterio

 Raptor (Amazing Spider-Man)

Bucky as Captain America

 Puck

 Shocker


#8: Hercules

Hercules was my first try at using sculpt.  I used aves apoxie sculpt for everything and I like how it turned out (for my first time using sculpt).  The chest, hair, headband, armbands, belt, and man-skirt are all sculpted.
