I was taking stock of some of my work today. To no surprise at all, Conan (the Cimmerian, that is), at about a dozen entries, is far and away my most customed character. Santa Claus and Dracula fall close behind. I was more surprised however, that I'm close to 5 Chuckles and 5 Budos. I like Chuckles a lot, but Budo not as much, and found it surprising that I'd done that many iterations.
To that effect, is there any character you find surprised to have customed multiple times, or is there a character you love so much, you just keep doing different versions?

Yes I have a similar situation too. I keep finding Covergirl and Flint on my workbench. I’ve done three Covergirl and I’m on my fifth Flint. Guess I’m just not happy with them and I keep trying to improve them.

Somewhat of a tangent here, but I've actually always wondered about the ratio of customs to factory issued figures in a customizer's collection, especially guys like yourselves that produce so much.

I usually do not make multiples of the same character, but I do like making teams of figures that we may not have yet.
I have made multiple Dreadnoks, finished off the Oktober Guard, Action Force, and the Red Shadows. I've made an entire FLAGG crew. I have modified a lot of figures to my liking as well. I am not posting ratios on here, in fear that my wife may see the numbers.

Flint and Rip-Cord. My two favorite Joes, and I keep thinking that I will get a custom I will be totally satisfied with, but after I make them, I end up selling them, thinking to myself, "Next time will be the ultimate one..."
After those two, Cobra Commander has seen a number of iterations, and I am afraid I may have sold off the one that I was happiest with... I will keep trying to get an ultimate version of him as well. -Todd Shakka85

Now that you mention it, I have about 4 or 5 Cover Girls, as well, not counting a couple of version that I sold/traded.
I'll tell you: I have about 300 Star Wars factory figures and 71 customs For Marvel, 318 Factory and 89 customs. For Joe- 177 factory and... 292 customs. "...Time to step up your design game, because Joe fans are having to make their own..." Of course, now I want to see your non-Joe customs! |

A good chunk of my marvel stuff is here:
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...y-axonrey.html And most of my Star Wars stuff is here. These were among my earliest work and as such, need the most improvement: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...s-axonrey.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...s-axonrey.html And my Conan stuff (this thread needs some updating as well): http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...y-axonrey.html

Hmmm.... I have my ultimate version of all the modern Joes that I consider the best representation Hasbro gave us but most of them are in a storage bin. Just a quick count but I have 14 factory figures displayed and 166 customs displayed.
