New Zombi, El ZOMBI muchacho malo

The name is El ZOMBI muchacho malo.
It's based on a Japanese wrestler, Kazushige Nosawa who wrestled mostly in Mexico, then went back to Japan.

All he needs is a helmet!

I love this guy, bandana & all!

New Custom Viking

Custom Viking created by me. He started life as a Toy Tokyo exclusive, and changed into this.

Back shot

I decided to go with pastels, as these figures are usually dark, and foreboding. I went with spring colors, as they are a sign of rebirth and newness.
Canary yellow base, Caribbean blue for the wraps, and Fuchsia for the bones. Sorta gives him a Easter Egg, or Miami Vice look (or Miami Viking if you will).
He was fun to paint, and I have a few more ideas for customs that I will put on here when finished.

MY VIKINGS

Two pictures of my Vikings to date. I have the Christmas Viking coming, so I guess I'll have to rearrange everyone again. Maybe a new Detolf just for Vikings!

These figures are roughly 8 inches tall and about 5 inches wide with arms outstretched. You can fit 6 on a Detolf shelf, but if you place 3 elevated in back & 2 in front, (like the top picture) it makes for a better presentation. I have been experimenting with styrofoam, it works great for making tiers, can be painted (with latex paint only) or covered with cloth or wrapping paper, (which I have yet to do).
