Fixed btw, now it's showing up, not sure why it didn't from my smartdumbphone.

Ski :1-1:


That happened to me before as well. If you just copy the link from the address bar it doesn't embed the video it seems. However if you right click on the video and select "copy video's url" and then paste it here, it shows up. :huh

I finished up with the Hasbro Wampa creature that came originally in a 2 pack with a Hoth Luke that you also saw some redo pics of what I did to him here.




Now this figure was soooo bad that even with my extra TLC he's far from perfect. However I feel that at least now he resembles the Wampa creature more then the big snow ball teddy bear like doll he originally looked like. Sometimes looking at him I thought he resembled the creature on the plane wing in one of the original Twilight Zone episodes with William Shatner more so then the Wampa. :lol Here's a pic of what he originally looked like....

I basically went nuts with doing paint washes over him followed by gloss varnish and White Gesso. I repainted his face along with adding some more fur to his face in certain areas. Also in the originally film (not the Special Edition scenes), he had ears that I sculpted and added to his head....

Hey elar, thanks!! I'm glad you like him. I've wanted to upgrade him for the longest time and finally got around to doing so.

Here's my re-worked custom First Blood Rambo. This was a pretty cool custom to begin with that was done by someone on eBay. The paint job on the face was great and the likeness was great but overall not completely accurate to the movie. It was meant to represent him when he was in the woods being hunted by the police. So I customed the custom. :lol I re-painted most of him and weathered him up with some blood, dirt along with sweat. I swapped out his body with a newer HT muscular one and replaced his top outfit with a better one. I am waiting on the knife to arrive and he will be good to go....

Re: Joebizz34's Customs, Re-Paints and Kitbashing - (Wampa and HE DREW FIRST BLOOD!!)

Here is a re-worked Batman Arkham custom originally done by a guy on eBay (Soverein Studios on here).

The price wasn't bad for this so I pulled the trigger for one. It came on a awful Dragon body and a very weird cape that didn't flow well at all. So I've seen others on here redo the same one which inspired me as well. I took off the latex bodysuit and put it on a better HT body. I cut off the originall hands that looked way too small for this figure and replaced them with hands from the new HT 89 Bats. Finally I customized the belt to give it more realistic looking pouches. It may not be as accurate to the source but I like the look better and went with my own little creative adjustment there. I also swapped out the cape with one from another HT Batman. His stance and overall stature looks better now. The cape makes the biggest difference to me as far as improving his look.

Here is another video of several of my custom re-done figures like Hasbro Star Wars figures including the Wampa I just finished recently and posted pics here along with the Hulk and Alien.

Nice work on Rambo. I picked up that same sculpt a while back and have been wanting to do something similar. Bats is nice as well. Is that Moe's suit? Top notch

Hey Charles...thanks for the feedback. Yeah I originally bought this Rambo off eBay from a seller named sixcubes or something like that? It was a complete figure but he was inaccurate to the on screen look it was representing. So I re-worked him.

The Batman suit was done by Sovereign Studios. I also bought him originally off eBay and I believe he goes by the name DreamTiger on there now.
