This most excellent Gorilla Grodd custom was contributed by our friend Wes at Scary-Crayon.com. It’s an exciting custom for two reasons - One, it marks the first submitted custom to be featured on SuperArticulated (ie - not made by me!); and two (and more importantly), it’s a really freakin’ great representation of one of DC’s most inventive and diabolical villains. See pics and Wes’ write-up of the big telepathic ape when you expand the post. (more…)

In celebration of Christmas, I got involved with a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange with a group of online toy collectors at TheFwoosh. I knew my giftee was a fan of Northstar, so I wanted to try my hand at making him a fitting Marvel Legends style custom figure. And, because no Northstar is complete without his sister Aurora, I had to craft the duo. I opted to go with their ‘modern’ look, since it’s a good chance that we’ll be seeing classic versions of these characters as standard releases from Hasbro in the near future.

Expand the post to see more pics of this top-notch one-of-a-kind figure (if I do say so myself). (more…)
