My Muppet Customs Site

[Yoda Man]

Hey guys,
I don't post here that much (I hang out at CMX mostly), but I wanted some of your opinions on my Muppet Customs. I can't think of a better place to share them . I'm definitely not a pro or anything and I don't make new characters, but I really like making variations of existing figures we already have (e.g. I love making Piggy figures from any film but I would never attempt a Sal). I know they're not too great, but it's just what I like to try and do to keep a toy line alive.

Anyway, I have posted a few customs here before, but not too many. Over the weekend I worked on my site some and finally added almost every Muppet custom I've made thus far. If any of you would be kind enough to comment/critique them, that would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to make customs for years to come, and I just like to hear what figure collectors have to say about how I can improve my work.

Not every figure is up yet (still need to add pics of the whole Wizard of Oz gang), but I'd also like suggestions of what I should do next. I'm currently debating between Wicked Witch Piggy, Grinch Fozzie, and TMM Gonzo.

Here's my site if you'd like to check it out:

Those are very beautiful customs. I have an extra Link Hogthrob to make a BOP Link, and 2 more Strangeporks to create more crew members.

Hey Yoda. Personally, I say go for all four witch versions of Piggy. You can say your MWoO group is then truly complete. Might have a few requests if you're still in need of the figures I have to finalize that little piece of business. Drop me a PM, we'll talk, no big whoop.
Thanks for sharing and have a good night.

I like it. Good work.

Wow, great job with all of them! I love the Scarecrow and Ballerina Pepe!

Looks great!

I'd forgot about ballerina Pepe. I have a couple extra Pepe's at the moment, so I might have to give that a try. Ever thought of a Long John Silver's Pepe to go with the MTI stuff? (That would be visual irony.)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the comments, guys! I always love to hear what others have to say about my work. It really helps me to improve. I took a break from Muppet customs (again), and just got back on the horse. This custom has been in progress for months, but I finally decided to finish it up this weekend. It's not my best work, but I do think he turned out well. It's simply a Series 1 Kermit figure with a lot of sculpting. And if you couldn't tell, it's based on the Star Wars image that was some sort of advertisement I believe.
Let me know what you think
