John Mallamas, aka: Jin Saotome, the action figure!


"John Mallamas spends all day hunched over in a frenzy a desk hacking up action figures. No, he's not crazy, he's a customizer! Each day brings a new idea to the table as John tediously creates custom action figures for fans around the world, often injuring himself in the process with his Dremel tool. Sporting his PatchTogether.com Yeti T-shirt and Deadpool beltbuckle, he's ready to hit the SDCC and pester the Hasbro booth guys into making a Shuma Gorath figure in their next assortment."

This figure was made from,

Head: Broken Arrow Toys cast
Body: Gen Hawk ROC
Legs: Cobra Commander ROC
Feet: Storm Shadow ROC

Props include paint jars made from cut styrene rods, hacked up Heroclix Collossus, Halo3 peg made into a Dremel, brad/nail xacto knife, smaller brad and frayed wire for the paintbrush, chair from a Star Trek figure, and random dollhouse table. This basic recipe can be used for all sorts of different civilians that wear T-shirts and jeans. This custom was created specifically to fit into the 'self customs' category at JoeCustoms.com. Now I need to do a diorama and complete the circle!
