I just want to say Hello to everyone here at the forums. These customs may not be SHS related but here they are! I love the Toy Story Buddy Packs and decided to put my thousand's of Buzz Lightyears to use, so I made these guys to create a Star Command army! Take a look. Neil Adler Pah'l Or'ihkel The team, also including "Booster" Cl'insair Nuchamperp (his colors are mostly based on Buzz's side kick character from the cartoon show) Hopefully, there will be more to come!

These are pretty cool Galan. I don't know who they are though...kinda like the Green Lantern corps?
Keep 'em coming!

There was a show like 10 years ago called Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which basically was like the Buzz Lightyear Corps with a bunch of aliens in Buzz suits. I think the first two he posted are his own original creations, but the one with Rex's head is supposed to be the red guy in this picture.

I wouldn't say The Booster I made is supposed to be the character from the show, but more like based on him. When I saw Rex's expression, it reminded me so much of the Buzz cartoon character. Anyways, thanks for the comments! Here are two other customs I did a while back, I'm hoping to do more in the future but have been holding off to see what Mattel pops out. This is a real easy custom: Toy Story 2, One-arm woody. And here is the result of so many Woody's and Buzzes. I don't really have a name for him, but here he is. Also, this isn't really a custom, but is more like an accessory. This is Metamorpho from BBatB line, once I opened him his entire waste popped off. After much examination, I found his waste could pop on-and-off like nothing and immediately went to work on a new bottom part for him. I like to think of it as water or a clear chemical. This was made from Hot Glue. I also made a Water-Fist for Aquaman. Hope you guys like!

The Buzz-Woody horror is really scary.

I apoligize, I didn't want to frighten anyone, I was just going for a Composite Superman look is all. Here is yet another Space Ranger for my Toy Story Buddy collection. This figure was made from a JLU Superman head lightly modified for this scale. I believe this is the best one I've done yet, only because he has interchangeable arms and waste. I wanted this guy to have the grapple belt but still be a normal space ranger. I'm planning on just one more custom for these Space Ranger figures, who will be able to interchange with the belt waist. This guy is mostly inspired from the T.V. show character Warp Darkmatter, thought, like Booster, I took my own spin on the character. I apoligize again for the drastic lighting in the pictures, I couldn't seem to get the right lighting today, I'll try to update soon. All comments are welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Here it is, To the right is my custom, and the left is the new release, you can tell by the clean paint on the wrist of the right figure. I will be posting a picture of my Modern Strong Guy soon, so stay tunned.

If you hadn't pointed out your custom and the factory released figure I would have not known the difference. Well done.

Thank You docfairday. So, here I disliked (with a passion) the pose Barbie was in for the Buddy Packs, so here I took a BP Barbie and chopped off her arms, then I took a key chain with a small Barbie figurine on it, who came with an actual Ken doll, and chopped off her hands, I sliced off some excess length and then glued both arms to the BP version, I am very satisfied with the outcome, take a look. To make this clear: I did not make this!I just wanted to point out something cool I found in a Quarter slot machine at Toys R Us, A small Troll doll which can fit on the end of a pencil! I bought some to act as "the orphans" from the train scene of the third Toy Story movie, they're small enough to fit with TSBP. I just thought it would be worth mentioning, here are some pictures. Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone! So, switching over to Super Hero Squad, I was so excited when the movie version of wolverine was released, yet it has been a LONG time since Hasbro has released any others. So I am going to be working on repaints focusing on the Bryan Singer X-men movies. First off is Colossus! He is a repaint of the first version with the X emblem cut off. I painted his linings red, I am not reaching for movie-accuracy considering that the movies weren't very accurate when it came to the costumes, though I may update him later because the lines are very light, I also gave him a paint-wash to mimic the organic-look he has in the movies. I painted his eyes very lightly over with silver so they would still show and then outlined it with black paint. Here he is! Also, here is a custom SHIELD Agent! I call him Todd, he is a Basic head-swap-and-paint recipe. , his head is a ROC Impact-suit Duke with his hair and eyebrows painted black. Here he is! Thanks for looking!

I love the Colossus. I too love the black suited Wolverine and have longed for more Xmen in black. I wish I didn't sell all my Colossi (plural of Colossus right?) now so I could also do this.
As a combat hero customizer I am always looking for good uses for the many parts I have. Seeing Duek with black hair gives me some ideas for heads I have been stuck on.

Well I am very glad to give inspiration Docfairday! And here are some Super Hero Squad Customs! First up is my take on Constrictor! He was made from a black suited Spider-man body with Loki head (I am in much gratitude to Floridaboy68 for the inspiration) and Magneto arms! And here I have Uatu the Watcher, he was made from the creepy Thor legs, arms and torso From Loki, while the head, collar and skirt are sculpted. This was my first time at sculpting too, and I am very pleased with the outcome! Thanks for looking!

Ahhhh inspiration...it flows from me like a rainbow!
Very nice Constrictor Galan, love the shade of blue you chose. And the sculpting on Chrome Dome is awesome.
Keep up the good work Young Grasshopper!

Galan, I really like the effect of the glue with Metamorpho. Would you mind going over the process a little? Like, how did you keep from burning yourself, or gluing your fingers together? Did you use any tools to form it? Is it from a glue gun? Will that stuff take paints??
Thanks in advance.
