It’s been a while since I posted something new, not because of a lack of desire, just had so much trouble getting moving on using the “same parts.” Good thing is that finally got me to make the jump to order a few JoyToy figures to see how they were and I’m happy to say that while they are different to work with than the Marauder, BF or Hasbro parts I typically use, really enjoyed the fresh builds and it got me off the bench!
So my first JoyToy custom is of a figure that I’ve been wanting to get done for a while now, fairly simple build but with a lack of easily available shirtless torsos I’ve just been waiting and waiting. Since JoyToy looked to have a pretty good body for him, I went with their parts and got started on Wild Card!
This is a figure that I never knew about until recently when I pulled Major Altitude’s helmet out of a bin.....but it was the wrong color. A little research and I found out it wasn’t originally Major Altitude’s helmet! Not sure how much I would have liked Wild Card growing up had I known about him. Love Major Altitude so it’s possible that I would have liked this figure. Never actually saw him in person so will be cool to look for once I go back to toy shows. As a custom though, once I got the parts together and painted, really loved the look.
Fairly simple one using a JoyToy blank. Just their body & belt, an altered vest & painted head from Marauder and a machete from Boss Fight. Head and body didn’t match so full flesh tone mix there, mix for the color on his pants, sculpted mustache and some light brown paint for that and his hair, then just some additional coloring for the details to break up all the red / maroon and green. Vest was fun because I still have a ton of these from the original KS so felt good to mod one and get some use out of it. Then finished off the look by giving him a Marauder cell phone, a Boss Fight machete and a vintage helmet. Really happy with the final result.

With his head & helmet mold mate who really needs to be cleaned up now since he was my first real painted custom:
And dropping him into the action:
Laughing at the original unpainted build, not the most complicated custom to do but light and day with the paint added:
