Hey whats up,,,well some take longer than others,,,I can make a iron man in about a week or less...But the scupting and prototypeing for a figure can take a long time...I hand make them and then cast my parts out of plastic...The suits are all hand crafted here at my shop on a machine...the ironman comes with a removable mask help on by magnets hidden within the plastic...

Do you do this mostly for yourself or do you actually sell them to people? Do you make figures by request?

Interesting. I'd love to have a set of Guardians of the Galaxy figures. They'd look great with all my other comic stuff and the chances of them being made officially are close to zero.

I have sent you a PM, Chris. Maybe we'll be able to figure some things out. No pun intended.

Wow! Awesome stuff, Chris.

That Green Goblin is sensational, as is The Rhino. Are you a fan of Mego? Your work reminds me of a more modern version of the 70's mego figures I had as a kid. Really cool - I'm not surprised they sell out quickly.

thanks guys for the nice feedback on my work,,yeah Im a big mego fan...I actually call them Mutant Megos ,,they are the same size as a mego ...I stated by customising megos,,Then I wanted something even more realistic with more movement...so I created the new mutant mego body seen on the more muscular IronMan...the others are custom megos redone...They now move alot better and have all new stuff. They are the megos I wanted as a kid...lol finely But im always looking to improve them.
Im finishing up a custom mego Iron man like the one seen above without his mask. He has removable armor I'll post pics of him tommorow after I get some sleep. Dr. Doom will be next and Venom for this month. thanks again guys for the good feedback
