Not a fan of mole rat?
He?s worth the fodder at least.

Another one you knocked out of the park. I do have a question for you. When I make my customs, I'm trying to make them look just like figures you can buy in the store so they fit in with for example 25th anniversary Joes etc. You go into so much intricate detail with all of your added accessories and paint jobs that yours are obviously far superior to the off the shelf offerings. So, my question is do you feel like you have to repaint all of the classified figures to match your customs or do you just accept some of them as they are when you buy them? Do you display your customs with the regular Classified or separately?

To answer your question, since I?m a collector and customizer , I mostly just cherry pick classfied. I?m in the minority. Classifed or even classified exclusives to me isnt “collectible”. Graded ARAH is. As for classfied , Some are good enough to keep others can be used for fodder, if they have the right amount of details . I keep what I buy in classified, what I buy for fodder and what I create as customs all separately so I don?t feel I need to repaint them all. Even simple Repaints with no actual customizing are treated similar . Once I paint them they don’t fit with production classified figures. I?ll use Bludd for example, hes perfect the way he is but he doesn?t sit with my art. He sits with the toys. In retrospect , My customs - tops shelf My repaints - 2nd shelf My classifieds 3nd shelf or in my sons play room. Hope that answers your question.

Yeah, Slice is excellent. He and Stronox are both incredible.

A mole rate custom? Wasn?t even on my radar. What did people not like about the classified version?

The Mole Rat figure is fine but your interpretations always expand upon even good designs.

Wow... Just don't know where to start on this one. The helmet in itself is eye catching; did you custom make it, or was this cobbled together from other items? It looks amazing, and I am not a Toxo-Viper fan! The colors look good, though I am a little partial to the original's teal over the lime green, but it isn't bad or anything like that. And then the face of the figure, or what is showing of it: you give your figures a life-like look to them that is unsurpassed in the customizing community. The comparison to Stronox is a good one, as you both add such realism to your figures, that they transcend toyhood and become artwork. Bravo, once again, Slice!

-Todd Shakka85 I sincerely appreciate the kind words my dude. I wanted his face and eyes to have a reddish, bloodshot look to them from exposure to the elements he operates in. I really like how he turned out myself. Thanks for stopping by old buddy.
