The Beast (Just some junk I smashed together)

[thainer]

Did this a while ago and never took any pictures (was going to make a beauty for it but it never happened) Don't ask for a recipe it is just some thrift store stuff I wedged onto a Mattel body when I was bored.

 

[thainer]

Pretty boring, I guess.

Is that a 1/6 head sculpt of Lurtz? Custom looks btw.

 

[thainer]

Think so. It was all red and had Applause and a date on the butt.

Not boring at all. Time + boredom = creativity.

 

[sdabbs]

Very nice!! Don't let the lack of response make you think that it is boring, people just prefer licensed stuff around here

If its not done by certain parties no one cares it has to be Batman or something to get noticed.

On a side note turned out great very original.

Thanks, guys. Not sure why I post my figures here anymore, really. It's true. If you aren't one of a relatively small group of preferred customisers or creating figures from a relatively small number of licenses (some of which I think, frankly, have been beaten to death) no one gives a rat's about what you have done. On the upside, four people either liked it enough or were curious enough to post comments and questions. So there is that.

That's crazy, what base is that?

Lol. Looks like Steven Kings interpretation of Beauty & the Beast... Nice custom.

Its true I dont post customs here I do over at osw better community there.

I think it is some Lord of the Rings figure from Applause on a Mattel Ghostbusters body with some Barbie prince outfit and fur from a stuffed lion from a different branch of the same thrift store where I got the figure and outfit. All the armour head hands and feet came from the Applause figure (plenty of dremeling on that one) Feet are from a plastic moose and horns are from a plastic bull, both also from Value Village.

I just saw your other post for Seth Gecko (George Clooney). It's gotten quite a few postive comments.

Apparentley, there are some people who "give a rat's about what you have done".

I am going to assume this is another case of me misreading the tone of one of your posts (or emails) as this one also seems quite curt. I posted that figure over a year ago and if you count it has gotten almost as many responses today as it did in the previous year plus it has been up.. And not sure why you are singling me out as I was not the only one to comment on the lack of comments some of us get if we are not in the club or building Iron Man or Batman figures. You posted a comment in this thread and didn't even mention the figure it was based on. Which kind of makes my point for me. Thank you for that.

Still proving my point, I'm afraid. You'd really think someone running a business would be more polite to clients, both real and potential.

Very nice work here! I miss the good old days when people would make things from parts boxes and be creative like this. It's nice to see people still get inspired in this day and age.

Thanks for sharing this.
