Title: Hello!
Post by: Crowbar on April 21, 2014, 03:01:53 PM

Hey all, I've been making customs for a couple years and this looks like a great place to share them ^^ I had some of the older generation ponies when I was a kid, but I fell in love with Friendship is Magic big time. Aaannd it helped that a nearby store was closing and I scored a bunch of G4 ponies for real cheap to get me started. Currently I've finished 13 customs and have 7 others just started or ready to go whenever... and a Ditzy Doo (sorry, is her common fan-name banned?) and Diamond Rose that are still intact. I also did custom face paint on two Equestria Girls doll, unfortunately I melted the body of one so now I have this cutesy disembodied head on my shelf...

Here's my most recent custom, My Little Winter Soldier!  :lol:

My other interests include riding my motorcycle (if my avatar didn't give it away) and collecting action figures. Someday, I'd like to be good enough at sculpting to make my own (human) figures, but I think that's a few years away.

Which action figures do you collect?  As well as ponies, I collect LOTR, SW, X-Men and random other figures :)

Thanks for the welcome, folks! ^^ I have a small collection of various video game and anime figures, but lately I've been into the Hot Toys sixth scale figures. They're too expensive for me to afford very many in a year... but if the cinematic universe keeps going on I should be able to collect one iteration of each character sooner or later.

...I would say that it's nice that customising ponies is a cheaper hobby, but the amount I've spent on supplies probably gets up there.

Awesome Winter Soldier pony. I just saw Captain America, so I recognized him right away!

:newpony: Welcome to the Arena.  Well done on that custom and I laughed when I read about the Equistra doll, might be an improvement.  *ducks fakies*
