After I hit 500 total. Trying to knock out out any small customs that I can, so I can post pics of my collection being half complete. I need to update the list. Probably at 474 now.

I love all these newer customs! Jimmy, Chiaotzu, Gohan, SS Goku, and especially Tien! All are amazing as usual. Your smaller animals are cool too.

I did a thorough collection inventory last week and discovered that I had more figures than I thought. Plus I bought jazz04porche's Parapara brothers, which gave me a total of 484.485: Master Roshi (King Piccolo Saga)Date: March 2015 Creation Time: 5 Hours Difficulty: 2/10 Head: Chara Puchi Jackie Chun Body: Irwin Series 1 Master Roshi Modifications: You've never seen Roshi more serious than he was in this look against King Piccolo. The real task was in the head as all I did to the body was paint the pant folds around his ankles white and add rip streaks across the center (which he got from a Piccolo attack). The original head had Jackie Chun's hair on there, so I had to slice that off and basically carve out his bald head. Once it was set, I added a very thin layer of apoxie to round it out. On top of that, I sculpted a neck to fit the torso. In addition, I had to add some beard length too. From there, it was painting. I hand-smoothed the head so well that I didn't even need to sand  And of course, kept his Mafuba hands to recreate the technique.    486: Majin Buu as a Chocolate Bar
Date: February 2015 Creation Time: 2 Hours Difficulty: 2/10 Flattened apoxie on my desk and gently sculpted a basic Buu outline, nothing extravagant. Once he dried, I pried him off and painted him. Could look better but who cares, he's just a chocolate bar, but the MOST IMPORTANT chocolate in the entire series  . I plan to prop him up on a stick with a stand. Isn't he just cute? haha  Not a custom, but I did fix my SBC Perfect Cell's eyes. I thought there was nothing I wanted to change on this figure... but the lack of an eye outline and red pupils was incorrect. Fixed that right up.

487: Jackie Chun w/o Gi Top (22nd World Tournament Saga)Date: March 2015 Creation Time: 8 Hours Difficulty: 3/10 Head: Chara Puchi Jackie Chun Torso: Bandai UFS Ultimate Gohan Legs: AB SSVegito Shoes: Bandai Real Works Krillin Modifications: This form of Roshi/Jackie that fought Tien was pretty cool. If you remember, he slightly buffed up to fight. It was kind of like a Frieza 50% type of thing lol so that's why the UFS torso worked so well for him. It's muscular, but very thin. All I had to do to it was scrape off the wristbands and sculpt the wrists smooth, while maintaining wrist articulation. I drilled out a hole for the head and it fit really well on the UFS peg. No neck sculpting or cutting down required. That was nice. The pants are pretty baggy, but it seemed they looked baggier after Jackie Chun took off his shirt, so with a little shortening and carving for the belt (not to mention sculpting the belt straps) I think it worked! I repainted everything except the hair. Enjoy. I am continuing to knock out a bunch of small characters and will have 5 more hopefully tomorrow That'll get me up to 492....getting closer.

Getting closer to 500  . Saiyen found me my last two Sofvi Saibamen, so they will be #s 488 and 489. I just won't have them for a while. Then I have a bunch of completed minor customs I need to photograph (#490 Pippi the bird, #491 Oonann, #492 Jasmine, #493 Gero's Cell-tracking Device, #494 Arale, and #495 Buu Ghost).#496: Mez (Saiyan Saga)Date: March 2015 Creation Time: 12 Hours Difficulty: 4/10 Head: Popy Mez Body: Space Jam Monstar Pound Modifications: I have been asking Bran to give me his Goz and Mez for years now and he refuses lol so time to take matters into my own hands. The body proportions aren't 100% exact to Mez' but the shape and look is certainly there. He's an ogre for sure. The Space Jam Pound figure was suggested by Branjita back in 2012 and considering he'd require no sculpting other than a neck, socks, and wristbands, I had to go for it. If I used an Irwin Spopovich, we're looking at a 30 hour custom, 60 hours for both Goz and Mez. This only took me 12. The head is a Popy Mez, which is 5% too small maybe, but again, the amount of time saved from having to sculpt one and the fact it looks just like him, I couldn't resist. Overall, I am pleased. The proportions actually don't bother me because he's an ogre and an ogre is supposed to be odd-shapped like this lol If this was Super Roshi, it would bother me because they don't have that human element. Anyway, I just bought another Space Jam Pound figure, so Goz is on his way and will be made very soon.   Original Figure  #497: Vegeta (DBZ Movie 15: Revival of F)Date: March 2015 Creation Time: 10 Hours Difficulty: 4/10 Base: Jakks Vegeta in Armor Modifications: Altering of the armor is the only sculpting I did. I was debating on sculpting the bodysuit separation lines, but it seemed like a waste of time and would honestly not look right, so I painted them on. The ab patch of his armor is slightly ^ shaped in the movie and the figure is too, but not quite as much. I had added like 1/16 of an inch to it above and honestly, it made the entire section look huge and his pecs too small, so I scrapped it and went with what the figure had. Looks close enough. I painted on the glove and boot lining Vegeta has. He's quite the intricate design. I painted the symbol on too and got it on my first try. Phew. If Vegeta goes God or something in the movie, I will sculpt a new head and replace this one.   #s 498, 499, and 500 will be among the selection of Launch, Goz, Shuu, Dr. Briefs, DB Bulma in pink, and Golden Frieza.

Hey!!! 9 likes. Sweet. But it's okay to tell me that Mez looks funny lol
You know, I put 'HELL' on his shirt and was thinking; I might put 'HFIL' on Goz. What do you think?

I think he looks cool, plus I like Space Jam His proportions are a bit different from the source, but I think it works. I would put "Hell" on both of them so they match, but you can do whatever you want. |
