Here is a semi pictorial of part of the process we go through with making a custom Star Trek character figure.
Each figure is pretty much created differently so in this case I am using an existing Mego head of The Wizard of Oz and creating the planet of Ardana's leader and High Advisor, who is also the father of Droxine. Plasus is of course from the episode "The Cloud Minders", and in this example I try to re-create him with a combination of using a dremel, a razor blade and then some sculpting clay:









Here you can see that my wife has been able to find the correct screen accurate looking fabric and has already created the basic outer robe:

and has just started to create the inner section as well:


The inner fabric is actually more of a silver color but the flash from my camera makes it look more like the same color as the robe.

Aaargh!! The spare bed has been taken over yet again!!


I was flipping through "the" box with our custom Mego cards in it earlier and suddenly realized, holy %#@! There is a *$#% load of cards in there!


Each one of those cards represents a figure we are either making or plan on making fairly soon...AND... we have a LOT more cards on order too... >sigh< .. Well... I guess it's back to work LOL

This next custom is an idea I have been playing around with and working on for awhile now.
Working together with Anthony (TheToyRoom) via e-mail with images, artwork and some ideas I sent to him, Anthony was able to create the great looking custom card you see here based off of the vintage AHI (Azrak/Hamway Int) Star Trek Parachuting Kirk and Spock toys from the 70's. Now after all of this time and with the help from Anthony with the card (which I feel "makes" this custom work) I was able to finally pull off this unique custom figure as it all finally came together:


Card back:


The figure is a vintage Mego Kirk with a custom made parachute harness by me and features a real working action figure parachute taken out of a store bought parachute figure toy. This custom is complete and real in the fact that you could actually take it out of the package and play with it as it is advertised on the card.
I realize that in the "custom" dept there isn't as much in the custom area with the figure itself like with most of our other custom figures we have done, but in this case this is the way I envisioned this piece to look and I think it screams retro-vintage.

Seriously. I am amazed at the sheer volume you produce, it makes me feel bad when I only turn out 1 custom every few months... lol

keep up the nothing less than amazing work.

This custom of Vina The Orion Slave Animal Woman features an outfit by Brian Leitner that was then modified and reworked by me along with a modified head and paints also by me and last but not least a great looking custom Mego blister card by Mike Rodgers:
