This may or may not relate to Japanese toys. But, I figured this may be of interest to y'all Custom fans... www.toybuilders.com/They have an online custom-figure designer in which you choose how to customize your action figure, and they will build it for you for shipment. Perhaps if I can convince them to have figs designed with Anime features they can break some new ground. zozo-Magengar

I think those guys were the ones that made that Saddam with a necktie.
That's sick :S

I guess they are the ones who made the Saddam figure... ...I checked out their website, they got commentary show host Tim Russert figures there, too! And Hillary Clinton!
Their techniques are state-of-the-art technology, enabling them to mass-produce custom figures designed by customers.
Custom figs start from scratch with AutoCAD images and 3ds files submitted by customers. If you use a 3D modeling program that supports ".3ds" files, you could create your figure design, save it as a .3ds file and send it to these guys who will then use your .3ds file as a template to reproduce your model into an action-figure... ...be prepared to shell out Major Money for your figure!

Holy f**ken JEEEZUS, Hellric!!! Those custom Cthulus (did I spell it right?) look SIIIIIICK!!! Man, my deathmetal buddies would LUV those figures. The detail is very intricate, and looks highly skilled. They don't come off as looking like someone had just thrown a bunch of sh*t together... You spent a lot of time carefully choosing and prepping the materials for those cthulus; and they blend in just right! Mad Props to you, bro! Is there a website for them things, either custom or regular? Again, that's some friggin Marvelous artpieces ya have there! Thanks for sharin! zozo-Magengar

Thanks for sharin! zozo-Magengar Thanks for the kind comments, glad you like 'em. It's true that I spent a long time to think about each part and how to assemble them, and the realisation takes long time too. I don't know a specific website about Cthulhu figures. You can find them here and there but I don't know any 'official' site. I post my customs on boards like Spawn.com, warpshadow.com and coolminiornot.com...

It's strange that there are no specific websites for Cthulu figures... ...perhaps you should start one of your own, and add it to the web's directories; so that Cthulu fans can find it... ...but it's all good; and you get to display them Here in RJ and in other forums, to spark some interest. Keep up the good work! zozo-Magengar
