This is one amazing custom job

Postby rob_charb » Wed Aug 08, 2007 2:59 am

I know I'm probably gonna get some flak for this, but I just had to post it. This guy did one hell of a job making this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/TRANSFORMERS-Movie-Custom-Handmade-Perfect-WHEELIE_W0QQitemZ290147538314QQihZ019QQcategoryZ4696QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Was feeling kinda nostalgic after posting about Wheelie in another thread and did a search on Ebay and found this!

Wish I could convince my wife to let me get it!

what are these customs made of, plastic, foam or resin?

I just cant imagine someone sculpting each part, and thats nothing compared to designing the thing in the first place.
i wonder what tools he uses

It looks fantastic even if it is Wheelie

Somewhere around here there is a link to his, either, website or posting board. It shows how he created it from scratch with resin. He also has a Cyclonus and some other animal/robot X-formers. The Frog chic is the best.

Anyone got the link? I never saved it and don't have the foggiest where to look.

As I recall, he's produced a certain amount of each and sold them at hobby conventions in Japan.
(Remember seeing pic of a bunch of boxed versions on a convention table)

There's not much to dislike about this guy.
I mean, not only is he making show-accurate depictions of the characters... but then he goes and throws in toy "respect" modes to honor the original molds.
AND the vehicles look as they should.

The man NEEDS to be hired by Takara, goddamit.

I really like that Cyclonus custom. Pricey for me though.

I wish Hasbro would remake him.

The fact that he made multiples makes me respect him all the more, nothing better than sharing the love around.
