Apexplorers

APEXPLORERS: End of the Search

I really wanted the LITTLE SHADOW figure for this set up instead of Blue here, but I think the blue haired BBI figure is working for the set. The Apexplorer figure is such and extreme design that it's hard to find something to go along with it unless you get another figure from that particular set.



Black Lagoon: Eda (Non-Nun version)

Black Lagoon: Revy and Dutch

Not 100% done yet, but coming along.
I still need the double holsters for Revy - I have some customs being made from CORRIGAN HOLSTERS. Pretty exciting.

Black Lagoon: Revy Short Project

Black Lagoon: Revy Shorts

I started to work on the cutoff shorts for Revy based off of some standard male jeans and was doing rather well for a while. I made some small cuts at first to get things rolling, then started to shape the leg openings and style them.





When I got the base worked out, I started to notice something. The fit of the jeans was off at the crotch and it wasn't fitting tightly like it should. I wasn't sure what I was going to do to fix it, but after sitting with it a moment I came up with a plan of action.




















Sewing! :) I just snipped the center section to open them up, pinned the crotch where I wanted it to fit, then sewed it at that spot. Now, don't get my wrong - I have NO idea what I'm doing save some classes in high school and remembered conversations with an old girlfriend who did a lot of sewing. But, it wasn't that tough and it turned out like I wanted.

Little Shadow - Fun figure!























I LOVE this threeA figure, but it seems to have come and gone on me in some strange, short run. While threeA has some great designs, the figures tend to e priced out of my - and many others! - price ranges. While this figure comes in at a moderate $80.00, others fetch up to $600 plus in certain areas.

The design is grand and the style is fun on Little Shadow and I would have loved her to sit along side my Apexplorer figure I guess I'm better off in the long run!

DEEP RED: Dario Argento Tribute Figure


Horribly betrayed by her womanizing husband, Daria slips the mask onto her disfigured face. Shivering, she slips into the shadows, scythe in hand, to exact revenge.
Certain people start disappearing around her murderous husband and he starts to understand his situation.
“It's my wife!” His voice trembles as he pleads for the detective on the case to do something.
“I thought you said you saw her die in the fire...”
Suspicion drives the detective to examine the husband's story a little closer.
The husband decides to find his “dead” wife and finish the job.

The players meet at the end of their journey and the final act is as vicious and cruel as the first.

Revenge is hers.

New Project: 1:6 REVY and DUTCH from BLACK LAGOON


On....off....BACK ON!

REVY AND DUTCH from BLACK LAGOON. I want to get as close as I can.





I'll be using TRIAD TOYS brunette for the REVY base.

























I found a double holster, but I don't want to pay $30.00 for it, so I might kitbash something together.

Stay Tuned.
