Has anyone thought of doing any customizing of their action figures? I used to do it all the time with my Star Wars figures and Super Powers figs, creating characters they didn't produce or new and original ones.

I started thinking about making one of my people (a Foob that is) and perhaps one of Gonzo's race from MFS.

Anyone else have an itch to be creative (and the all imprtant too much time on there hands)?

I costomized a "Water Fantasy" Miss Piggy from GMC and a "Sheesh Faced" Kermit. I also repainted an extra Dr. Teeth to be the WW variation and I closed his mouth and raised his eyeglasses so he had a different expression. I also did some stuff to Zoot but more on that when I get pictures of it.

I've since resculpted the face on my "sheesh" Kermit...it was really bugging me. I'm much happier with it now:smile:

Lots of stars have to align...I need film (I'm through with digital cameras...UGH), sunlight (it's really cloudy here and I don't get home usually until dark), and then pay to get them developed...on a CD...*sigh* why can't I just have a magical, good, digital camera like everyone else?:cry:

*EDIT* and also when the Palisades Board is back up...Muppet Central won't let you post attachments:grouchy:

I've seen his Piggy and Kermit. They were very well done.

I've made my own homemade Custom Teeth and am currently in process of making a homemade White Tux Rowlf. I also plan on expanding the Electric Mayhem stage with some extra pieces to add some levels.

I've got a few extra figures as well in case inspiration hits me right. I love the sheesh-faced Kermit idea and bathing suit Piggy. I've also been watching old Muppet Show episodes for more inspiration.

I think the figure I most want to customize is a Dirth Nader Gonzo figure (which supposedly Count is attempting to make as well.)

*edit* Oh yeah, please check out this site to find more customs. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/jabba/muppets/

Attempting to get it made is right! Here's the slate of ideas I've got, though unfortunately won't even get started until a lot of things allign, like until the summer vacations.
1 Crash Helmet Gonzo into a version of Dirth Nader now that I've got both the figure and the DVD. Only missing the light saber and the time when my brother can assist me in the painting.
2 An extra Scooter to turn into a figure of Skeeter; with the skirt taken from an extra Miss Piggy figure and the hair cast in the mold of the Long-Hair Piggy figure which is in storage.
3 Take an extra S2 Fozzie bear and paint it green, take the collar from an extra S1 Kermit figure and glue around Fozzie's neck, slap on the accessories, and you've got Fozzie's and Kermit's Dad from TGMC.
4 Take the remaining S1 Kermit figure and repaint the pupils to make Dermit the Frog from Talk Soup.
5 Once he's released, the Reporter Kermit could have its skin painted a subtle shade of blueish-green to make a figure of The Koozbanian Phoob.
6 Get yourself a batch of S1 Kermit Miss Piggy and S2 Fozzie figures, cut off the ears and noses from the Piggy figures, paint them accordingly and glue them on both Kermit and Fozzie, and you've got Kermit the Pig and Fozzie Pig. You could buy yourself two S2 Fozzie Bear figures and 2 two-packs of Kermit and Miss Piggy so as to save costs on getting the figures to make both pig variants and the father of Fozzie and Kermit.
7 My Tux Rowlf might get his coat painted over to become White Tux Rowlf, who'd go quite nicely with the Bust of Beethoven and the baby grand with a couple of resin-molded eyes cast inside a thimble to get the right shape and glued next to the music stand to create a figure of The Piano from the Liberaci episode of TMS.

Hope this helps everybody's creative juices flowing in a gush of inspiration!

I'm working on about seven customs as well....but I can't tell you what until they're done.
