So he ended up being basically a head swap. I know next to nothing about Acid Rain. I bought the head loose for about $3. The figures and sets are too rich for my blood to hack them up into customs.



Thanks, I'll be posting some Kit Bashed "Valkyries" soon. I don't have a name chosen yet so I'm borrowing Marauder's name as a place holder. They all use the same basic female body like the one you can see below.



Thanks, I'm just working with what I can acquire over here. If I was stateside right now I'd probably be working with marauders. As everyone on here probably knows by now, the Joytoy are a great base and their gear is great for all 1:18. But some of the stuff I got recently screamed Dreadnoks. So I'm just working with what they're releasing. They're supposed to release this figure sometime this year and I've already decided to use at least the head for a Zarana update.

Is the “Zarana” a custom or is that a factory Joy Toy. Joy Toy puts out figures so fast I can’t keep up. LoL thanks

That's factory, but I plan on using at least the head for Zarana when they release it. And as a matter of fact I got an alert on their WeChat group this morning that pre-ordering this figure and another is starting soon.

Here's the other one just revealed...



I'm going to get it as well, but mostly for the AK, Shotgun, and head/hair.

Great figures, keep'em coming!
I have 3 middle-finger hands myself

Ahh excuse me sir. I started painting figures in 1992, I was hoping you could give me credit, pretty sure I was the first person to use a paintbrush in making new figures "Customs" as the kids call it.

As well any royalty checks I should get a share off. I magically had this idea first.

Was that guy serious? Fly by night customizers? Is this guy ribbing us. HOLY SHIT fucking delusional, like he was the first person to think of modifying a hand to have a middle finger....HOLY SHIT.

Love the work! Thanks for posting, can't wait to see more!

[chuckles32]

I painted up some figures in 1983, so well heck I should get credit for that. Lord they looked horrible for me as a 12 year old doing them.

Awesome customs sir! I’m slowly getting into Joytoy and the accessories / gear are just fantastic!
