BigManToys has released a limited run of their 3" tall Gashapon Robotman/Biotron resin figures. This custom cast project is a little nod to Micronauts fans. I've used re-cast Blockman pilots in most of the clear figures, and there are a couple of GITD ones in there too. The unpainted figures run $12.00 each, while the [...]

MLP Custom Compilation 98: Caramel ahoy!
Well, I don't recall seeing a Caramel custom before, but I definitely welcome all background ponies to get their own customs. Variety is the spice of life after all! I think one of my favorite pieces this time around might be the Alicorn Amulet Shine Bright Trixie, that was created out of one of the new Shine Bright toys I believe.
There were too many customs to share all of them here with you, so be sure to head on over to Equestria Daily to see the rest of them. You can always learn more about the original artists there as well.

The Network Roundup: All hail the King
Today we honor the life of the late, great, Martin Luther King Jr. Besides giving many of us a day home from the office, we look back at a man that pioneered the African American Civil Rights Movement, and all helped changed human rights forever. Although thing in the world are still far from perfect, it's amazing to look back at how much things have changed since the 60's.
As we look around at the awesome things floating around the Modern Method Network today, let's not forget all the people that gave everything to ensure all the freedoms we enjoy today. Let's also not give up our fight for what's right in the world, and everything we hold near and dear. Let's also make the best of a day off, and get some gaming time in!

Chibi Toro does Fate/Zero figma customs MF probably wont
When it comes to figma customs there's nobody better at it than Japanese figma master Chibi Toro. We're talking about someone that's so dedicated to perfecting super articulated figures at this scale he's even scratch-built his own bodies. He's also pretty awesome at making small props and dioramas. Recently he's even taken up sewing to really capture the look of clothes on figma. By comparison these two Fate/Zero customs are pretty easy work.
Lancer started as a Banpresto DXF prize figure with no articulation. Extensive part replacement took place including cannibalizing a figma Kamen Rider Spear (ironically) for the legs and some of the body (including the hidden hip joint covering) and a Revoltech Edward Elric for the neck joint. The addition of several other joints including ball jointed shoulders gave way to an incredible conversion from static figure to super articulated action figure. You'll notice he also repainted the eyes to give him a proper two.
Berserker was less extensive, but still amazing. Also using a DXF prize figure as a base. Armor plates were cut off and reattached using joints and heavy wire. Joints were cut around the body armor and articulation was added in. End result is a figma-scale Berserker the likes of which we'll probably never seen from Max Factory.
Chibi Toro has done a number of other figures including some that Max Factory did themselves long after he did them first. A sample of these can be seen in the gallery, but you should really check out his blog for all of his work as well as photos of his travels to different otaku destinations and events.
