The Mutant Raphael (Universal Monster)

Well hey there! This wasn't really a difficult custom, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had a huge influence on my cartoon watching when I was a little Joe. I collected them all, and recently I got my hands on a pretty beat up Raphael figure. His paint was chipped and rubbed off, so I figured I'd give him a new paintjob! His name is The Mutant Raphael and he is from a Universal Studios series of Turtles that Playmates put out in 1994.  Anyway, I wanted to give him a new paintjob that made him look like he was straight out of an old Universal classic horror flick! P.S. huge horror/zombie fan here!

I used Citadel and Testors paints, mixing a few greys to get that greyscale feel to the figure. I Photoshopped him into the sewer photo, but I kept his original paintjob, get it? If I saw this guy stumbling towards me in a dark swer I wouldn't know if I should run or throw him a slice of black and white pizza!

Finished Raphael:

Bioshock's Dr. J. Steinman (a very plastic surgeon) (SOLD)

My Dr. Steinman started out as a Freddy Kreuger in a surgical outfit. I switched Freddy's glove hand with Jonah Hex's. I popped his head off, added a Jonah Hex head, and sculpted his mask, head piece, flap on his chest, buttons on the flap, a bunny mask, some intestines, and a red adam bottle. A good amount of sculpting, but I love the game so I don't mind the work. The corpse and gurney are from a McFarlane X-Files Mulder set. I cut open the corpse and added plenty of nastiness to the pure white gurney. I bloodied up Steinman's face, hands, bonesaw, gurney, and corpse. Pretty much repainted everything here. Throw in some surgical tools and he's all set!! Enjoy!
