Custom Recipes:
Doc Savage:
The Man of Bronze was crafted from a Toy Biz Marvel Legends
Magneto figure torso, arms and head. He uses a Jakks Pacific
Rick O’Connell for his jodhpurs and boots and a random
wrestler for his hand. His shirt was donated by a Mattel
Killer Croc and his swanky hair-do was created from Kneadatite.
Flash Gordon:
Flash Gordon, one the first space-faring heroes of the serial
movie age was created using primarily a Mattel Zip-Line Batman.
The only ‘new’ thing about this custom was a DC
Direct Hawkman head and a bit of cut vinyl for his belt and
glove cuffs.

Indiana Jones |
Mandrake the Magician |
Indiana Jones:
What I would consider to be a ‘new’ Pulp Hero,
Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. was created using an N2 Toys Matrix Neo
figure for the torso and arms, a DC Direct Saint of Killers
for the legs and fedora, a Toy Biz Marvel Legends Gambit for
the leather jacket and a Kenner/Hasbro Epic Force Han Solo
for the head. The satchel came from a Toy Biz Spider-Man Classics
Hobgoblin and the whip, hands and other accoutrements were
from the parts bins.
Mandrake the Magician:
Mandrake, a classic old-school comic book pulp hero was crafted
from a DC Direct Uncle Sam head, torso and top hat, DC Direct
Elijah Snow legs, a DC Direct Spectre collar and a Toy Biz
X-Men 2 Movie Magneto cape.

The Nevermen Version 2.0 |
The Nevermen Version 2.0:
These are a re-released version of my original Nevermen
figures from Guy Davis’ comic of the same name.
They now sport all-new and comic-accurate goggles.

The Lone Ranger |
The Phantom |
The Lone Ranger:
A staple in kid’s television programming in the 1950’s,
the Lone Ranger was created using a DC Direct Saint of Killers
for the base body. His head is a Toy Biz Marvel Legends Magneto
with a NECA Crazy 88 mask. The hat is from a Toy Biz X-Men
Evolution Logan figure and the rest of the costume accessories
are cut vinyl and Kneadatite.
The Phantom:
"
The Ghost Who Walks" is actually an updated and more closely
on-model
version of my previous Phantom. He uses a DC Direct Blue Beetle
as his
base
with very few modifications. Some strategic dremelling, cut
vinyl, a
Subcultures Rex Ganon holster and some pushpin rings completes
this
Pulp
Legend. The 6" resin Palisades Snake Eyes mini-statue
donated Timber
the
wolf who is standing in for Devil. |
