Figures First Attempt at Customs

Hey everyone, I just got through doing some customs and I thought I'd share and maybe someone can let me know how I did and maybe offer some advice or criticism. Anyways I hope you all enjoy.

The parts used are POC Firefly, a 25th B.A.T., a POC Jungle Viper, and a POC Alley Viper.

I wanted to make filecards for them, but I don't know how. Anyways, the FF body with the Jungle Viper's camo I named Reaper. He's an Cobra urban sniper who is a match for Snake Eyes if it comes down to an up close knife fight. He builds coffins in his spare time and always makes sure his victims require a closed casket since he always goes for a head shot. Reaper is by far my favorite and I think I did a really good job on him seeing as it's my first time customizing any Joe's.

The POC Alley Viper/25th B.A.T. is a B.A.T. commander and he is basically a human brain and spinal cord implanted into a B.A.T. body. I swiped this idea from Gunzliger, I hope he doesn't mind.

Finally, the B.A.T. with POC Firefly's head is just an updated model of the original B.A.T. with more firepower and better tactics than previous versions.

They look great man! Welcome to wonderful of customizing!

i like your drybrushing skills, keep it up

Thanks guys. I was really worried about messing up one of my POC Alley Vipers since they are so hard to come by here, but I'm really glad I did it and I really appreciate the support.

Does anyone see anything that should be changed or anything?

great work. keep it up man

Since you asked, you might want to widen your color pallet a little bit. You'd be amazed how a figure can go from good to great with just a little use of color to make certain details pop.


And yes I realize the irony in me saying this... the guy who pretty much only paints in black, gold and red.

Thank you for that, criticism to me, shows that you really took the time to look at what I did and honestly telling me how you think I can improve. That means a lot to me. I will try to do it in future projects, this one however I was kinda going for a darker feel, but I totally see what you mean.

Awesome first set, keep um coming !!

That some nice work! Stay creative and your customs will only get better.

they look very cool,the drybrushing work is awesome,nice job
