I made costums of Foo-Foo, Philo and Gunge

[Philo and Gunge]

The other night, I made a Foo-Foo. He came out great, you can hold him in Piggy's hands! He is about Rizzo's size standing up.

As for Philo and Gunge, they came out a little ugly. There just okay. There about Kermit's leg size. I'll post photos soon!

All about custom figs...

This is awesome news.. I have started some custom figs and finished a few more... Who are Philo and Gunge??? The rats from the Trash Heap of Fraggle Rock??? If so, they are awesome and sounds like you got the scale down pat. They were ugly to start with anyway dude, don't sweat it.
My customs include a (mostly) finished Sweet-Ums who is probably too top heavy to actually use, but he sure is pretty.
Howard the Duck who is about the size of Dr Teeth. He has 11 points of articulation and has a cigar you can put in his mouth or his hand... And he looks grumpy as all get out.
Then I have some Muppet Fruit/ Vegetables (carrot, tomato, pear, bread loaf, butter stick, caterpillar, a Jumbo Shrimp with boxing gloves and eyes like Floyd's)... I gotta get a girlfriend... I have WAAAY too much time on my hands. Anyway, good to hear there are others out there who are into custom figs.
I want to work next on that cat who sat up backstage. The one with the eyepatch??? What's his name???

Can you please post a picture of your customs. I would really like to see them!

 

[Cap Backfire]

I sure will... Soon enough...

As soon as they are all done... I started an Alf fig this week as well which will take me some time. but as soon as I get them down, (actually i am just waiting on SweetUms outfit to reach mastery... ) I will post pics. I'm kinda mad that after making the tomato and carrot that Statler and Waldorf will have them... Anyway, I wanna see the Foo Foo custom on here soon!!!

That's great. BTW, I want to make Timon and Pumbaa figures, too.

PROBLEM: Don't know how big to make Timon! First I'm thinking Rizzo size, then Pepe size, then Robin size. I just don't know!

 

[Cap Backfire]

Take my advice...

OK... Here's a hint... If it's not too much dough for ya, get a Stikfas body and use that as the base for your Timon. It'll be just right in size and you'll love it to death cause of the massive articulation. Your thought here actually got me thinking of doing one with another Stikfas... I gotta find a way to get cheap Stikfas bodies without any accessories... Gotta look into that for future fig-making... They can't be THAT expensive...

BTW, use very thin layers of Sculpey (the bendy stuff works AWESOME for this kinda project cause it doesn't chip).
Good luck man!!! We customizers have to spend less money on cheap figs to use for bodies and more money on digital cams so we can show off our work... HAHAHAHA

 

[Cap Backfire]

Just started some more...

OK, just started production on a Droop custom (check him out over at Kermitage cause he rocks). Using the extra parts from Stikfas I have created, quite possibly, the cheapest way to create well articulated custom figs!!! Well, maybe not the cheapest, but those cheap, Puerto Rican knock off toys are solid poo. They melt in sunlight for cripes sake!!!

Ive been working on Fraggle customs for awhile. Im almost done with Gobo and Boober. Also made one Doozer. Gotta make some more soon but im running out of sculpty.

 

[Cap Backfire]

Awesome...

Boober would rock. Personally, I would love to have a Wembely since he's a spaz like me.
Hey, speaking of customs, I am looking for some reliable magnets to use for hats and such. And does' anyone know anything about what cooking a magnet would do to it's... Magnocity??? I know that's not a word, but looking at it, it should freakin well be!!
Also, If anyone can find me a GOOD pic of the Muppet Backstage area, I have already assembled the items required to create it from scratch, I just need something to create a blueprint from. And I already started making it by locking down the scale and creating the staircase. What a HUGE pain in the keister that is... Also trying to make it so that "people" sized figs and Muppet sized figs hit the desk at roughly the same spot (creating walkways near the front and "boxes" for muppets who aren't near the front to stand on...I want everyone backstage to be at waist height or so...) So yeah, if anyone knows how to find a great pic, I sure would appreciate it.
