Hello all... I've been away for quite a while (again). But while gone I did manage to finish the custom I talked about almost exactly a year ago on this very same board (page 30 in the thread). It's Kermit as Jack Sparrow. Not with goatee and 'stache, but rather as he could be seen in the...

Thanks! You are the master customizer here. Feels good that you like it :news: The hair was actually the most difficult part. It had to look as if it was styled like this, yet on the original figure it was going in exactly the opposite direction. So there had to be quite some cutting and...

I've been away for a while and although the Piggy I am making is still not finished, I started another project right after I saw the amazing Muppet art that Ken Haeser posted online a while ago. So, inspired by his sketch here's Animal as Wolverine: Animal started out as a Palisades World...

I am actually in doubt if I should keep the plastic cape or not. A cloth cape from a more current Darth Vader figure could work as well and be more in tune with the other Palisades figures... The effect on the cuffs is made with the grip of the handle of my hobby knife, which has that knurled...

Indeed really good! Will you give him some hair too? Lovely figure!!! Over the Easter holidays I went and finished a custom that is totally a rip off from Dearth here on the boards. But ever since I first saw his Dearth Nadir figure I wanted to make one for myself as well. So rather than...

That is indeed VERY clever turning Lew Zealand's head upside down for Nigel!

I always use Aves Apoxie Sculpt. That is a two part self hardning sculpting material that completely dries rock hard without baking it and without shrinking. It takes some time to get to know the material but it really is great for customizing as you don't have to put it in the oven and...

I had actually considered doing that with Clifford's dreads, but purchasing a Jack Sparrow as well for the accessories is an awesome idea! I might steal that idea if I eventually get to actually making him. Making Long John from a Barbossa figure is awesome too!! Ah well, so much ideas, so...

Indeed what Dearth says. You don't HAVE to buy all figures if you like the Palisades toys. I only buy the figures that make me happy and I would advise to do that to every collector. I buy what I want because I want to own the character/playset, not because it is rare. Recently I purchased Zoot...

Muppets have been there my whole life. I don't actually recall first seeing them. They were an ever present factor, same way my parents, brother and grandparents were... I don't remember seeing first seeing them either. They just were always there. I remember watching the shows as a kid in...

I will take that once Piggy is finished. Could be a while though. I work extremely slow. Want to give her a MOTU Classics She-ra sword and shield. Need to find those at a reasonable price too. I won't! I already have the Battle Cat (a vintage one) for that, but now I also kinda want to make...

First up... WOW! That Wembeley is wonderful!!! Can;t wait to see him completed with body and all... Wonderful sculpt! same here, so much ideas so little time. Piggy as She-Ra is coming along quite nice. Here she is halfway. Need to finish her tiara so that it will be one piece, will have to...

My first was Kermit. Not at all to collect, but to customize into He-Man as a project. I did not know about this amazing line of toys up until roughly a year ago. When I discovered that Kermit for the custom figure project I was amazed that there actually was a figure that actually looked the...

Hello everybody, I'm new to these boards. Although a lifelong fan of everything Jim Henson related, I never really picked up on the Palisades Muppets figures until roughly a year ago. I have been customizing Masters Of The Universe figures for a few years now and my love for Muppets made me...
