I finally finished up my custom line of Cv3 action figures. I tried to make them all in the style of the NECA Player Select Castlevania line. I decided to go with the 3 main characters, minus Alucard given that he already has an official figure. And 2 bosses, I went for 2 visually interesting characters, Medusa and Leviathan. I have posted Trevor and Medusa here before, but I have updated them since then.
I'll start with Trevor Belmont, because he is the star of the game. I started with the image of Trevor from the american Cv3 box art, seen here.
I wanted to stick very close to that look but decided to change out the leather whip for the chain morning star. I also added in all the sub weapons and other minor accessories that made sense. Hope you guys like it.
Here he is with his cape.
A close up on the sub weapons.
Next up is Grant DaNasty, because he was always my favorite of the 3 possible team mates. I started here with this piece of artwork, which was also used for Grant's SoTN appearance.
From there I adapted the concept to an aesthetic more in line with a 15th century resistance militia. Switching out the slippers for boots, and the bracelets for forearm guards. I gave him two gnarly daggers, a slew of throwing knives, and some rope to help him climb around
Grant also likes axes.
With Sypha I didn't start with any specific art work or sprite. I just went with the overall basic design of the character, adapting it to the aesthetic of the other figures and what I had available to work with. I also wanted to make her a little bit androgynous, given the way she hides her true gender in the game. I wanted to give represent all of her abilities but I couldn't find a good ice accessory.
Channeling her inner Hermoine.
Next up is Medusa. I went with a more savage look than what is customary in the series. But I did stick to the "Clash of the Titans" type half snake woman. This is one I may one day update more to make it more specific to her depiction in Dracula's curse.
Finally Leviathan. This is the biggest custom figure I have ever made. If this was an official line, he would have to be a build-a-figure. I was pretty happy with how he came out. I tried to make him as true to the original sprite as I could.
Final 2 group shots.
That's it. I'm already through a series 2 focusing on playable female characters. And getting stared on a boss focused series 3. I can post some teasers if anyone is interested.
