    Default LobsterJohnson's custom Mignolaverse figures

    Hi everyone,
    Whoa, it's been a while! My local comic book store closed last year, and since then I've fallen behind on most Mignolaverse stuff. I'm catching up though, and yesterday I finished the last Baltimore story.

    One of my other hobbies is collecting action figures, and making custom figures of my own. There are some nice Hellboy figures out there, but nothing for Baltimore, so I started making my own yesterday. Here's what I've got so far, using a Mezco base body, clothes from Figures Toy Company, and some gear from a few different sources :

    Still needs his overcoat, more weapons, and more work on the artificial leg. I have a head that should work, but I'll need to dremel off the hair and repaint. I'd like to make Haigus too, and maybe his giant bat form.

    Hopefully I'll have another update before too long.

    I'm about done with the head. I'm a pretty crappy painter but I think this turned out OK.

    The moon looked pretty spooky tonight so I got a picture:

    Cool Lobster, very cool.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Some more work on the gear done today, and I think I've figured out how I'm going to make his leg.

    Just about done... I'll do a more detailed write-up tomorrow, but for now, pictures:
    EDIT: Actually, thought of a few more things I want to add. May be a little while before I'm done.

    Thank you! I actually thought of some more changes I want to make, so I probably won't be completely done for a few more weeks.

    Recipe:
    Body: The base figure is Commander Rogers from Mezco. The head is from Mezco Punisher, repainted with the hair sanded off. Clothes are all from Figures Toy company, and I did some paintwork on the lapels and cuffs of the greatcoat. The greatcoat is removable, although unfortunately I did have to cut the sleeves off of the shirt underneath. The cloth was too thick and limited the arm articulation. The web gear is just brown strips of cloth with pouches glued on. The hands are from DC Universe Classics Question, repainted and drilled to fit the wrist peg.

    Leg: The wooden leg was one of the more difficult parts of the project. I removed the lower part of the Commander Rogers leg and replaced it with parts from a NECA Bioshock Infinite figure. It’s fully articulated and he can stand on it fine. There’s also a metal washer in the joint to make it sturdier. Once it was attached, I scarred it with an X-Acto knife, then repainted the whole thing with a black wash and some dry brushing.

    One of my past customs was on a Mezco Mutant Leader body, and I had removed the studs from that figure’s belt. The “nails” in this figure’s leg are those, just repainted and glued on.

    Weapons:
    The weapons are from a bunch of different figures. The figure can store all of them at once using holsters, sheaths, and slings. Some of them were custom-made and some weren't.

    This figure is 1/12 scale, so he doesn't scale with the Mezco Hellboy figures, but he does with the Gentle Giant Animated Hellboy and Abe.

    (Part 1 of 3; I can only attach 3 images per post).

    Thanks for reading! This figure was a lot of fun to make, and I've got some more Mignolaverse characters in the works...
