Here's something that's not really relevant but is also a set of collectibles of my father. He loves collecting die cast construction vehicles and key chains. There are also tea sets in the cabinet with other random stuff.

Collection: Transformers
These are the reason why I started collecting toys!! From left to right we have TFTM Deluxe Jazz,Voyager Ratchet, Leader Class Optimus Prime, Voyager Ironhide and Deluxe Bumblebee. All of them were repainted to get a more accurate robotic look. The two boxes are what I consider to be the holy grail of my collection. They are the Nike Free 7.0 Transformers Megatron and Convoy. The red car at the left is TFTM Cliffjumper. The three cars on top of the two boxes are Bumbleebee Camaro 08, the "custom faded" Classic Camaro Bumblebee and TF Animated Bumblebee. The formula one car is a TF Classics Mirage and the odd one from the group is Silver Surfer. My poster boy is Nightcrawler showing a bad finger while hanging using his tail.

Collection: Marvel Civil War
Before I customized action figures, I collected action figures. Right... So here's most of my Marvel Legends in a Civil War diorama. Anti-registration are underground headed by Cap and Nick Fury. Also with the team starting from left are Falcon, Vision, Thing, Punisher, Hercules, Sue Storm, Julia Carpenter, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Winter Soldier. Meanwhile, sitting near the manhole is Nitro with Thor behind him. Starting from left, it's Quicksilver with the Astonishing X-Men. Beast, Iceman, Emma Frost, Cyclops and Marvel Girl (backward variant pose). Next is Human Torch in a bike with Storm, Deadpool and Wasp behind him. In the basketball court area we have Ms. Marvel standing on a drum barrel. Sitting are Rogue and my girlfriend (yes, I made her in plastic.) with Dr. Doom as referee with no players yet. Inside the building are the HYDRA. Baron Strucker, Red Skull, Spiderwoman and 15 Hydra Agents. By the wall is Iron Spidey while Sentry is flying carrying a Wanted: Captain America poster. At the rooftop are Franklin Richards, Maria Hill, Modern Armor Iron Man and the rest of the Illuminati. Xavier, Hank Pym, Black Panther, Dr. Strange and Namor, who is busy battling Wolverine, are present. The poster boy is Transformers Animated Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime, carrying the current Marvel Legends logo. Which side are you on?

Custom: Hitman Agent 47
I finally decided to recreate one of gaming's favorite icon, Agent 47 from the popular Hitman series of games. I used a Lex Luthor head with a DCSH Clark Kent body. The coat was resculpted and the tie came from a portion of Psylocke's belt. The weapons came from HML3 Hydra Goons. I used a semi-gloss finish from the entire outfit. This is easily in my top 5 customs right now. I love the simplicity of the character.
Custom: Bank Robbery Joker Thug
During the opening scene of The Dark Knight, we are greeted by one bank robbery which began Joker's reign of terror. The popular Thug team composed of criminals manipulated by Gotham's lovely clown included the Joker himself. Most viewers would notice that the guy with the grumpy face mask was just quiet and unassuming. This scene definitely won me over that I decided to try and make my own Joker, the bank robber. I used a Two Face body then resculpted the head from a SOTA Vega, sculpted the coat to be open and a full body repaint to match the movie's outfit. So here's my version of the greatest thug of them all.
