Custom Grant Danasty Figure

This is my second (completed) custom Castlevania figure. I had a Marvel Legends Demogoblin figure and thought that the poses I could put it in reminded me of the very agile Grant Danasty. So the base is Marvel Legends Demogoblin, the head is of a Marvel Select Captain America and then used some Apoxie and other materials. I liked the bandages on the Judgment Grant so I gave him some on his arms. I don't have a dagger for him so thats the only thing missing. Also, I didn't want to give him bright pink pants so I opted for purple. Crouched down he's about 5 inches tall
What a horrible night to have a curse!

Awesome job. Do you plan on doing Sypha, Al, etc.?

I'm working on the Alucard now. It's close to being finished, it just needs to be painted. I am planning on doing a Sypha and a Trevor. Sypha should be easy, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do about Trevor yet. I don't even know when I'll get to those. I'm also half way through a Slogra, but can't seem to find a good enough head.

I suppose these aren't for sale? That's some very excellent work.

No, I hadn't even thought about that! But thank you for the compliment.

My Dracula's Curse Alucard should be up by next week, if I get time to finish it this week

This looks AWESOME!
OLD School Grant FTW!
Finally another CV figure customizer!

I tried my hand at CV figure customizing recently.
Here's a few links to my CV Judgment: Trevor Belmont.
Let me know what you think.

Sweet, looking forward to seeing more from you.
It would be great to see more of these guys show up in plastic somewhere.
That line of figures from Neca was awesome but very short lived.

I'm working on a Grant and Sypha as well, but again in the Judgment style.
Simon,Carmila, and Golem are options as well.  I know the Judgment style wasn't everyone's cup'o'tea,
but since my GF is a huge Death Note fan the decision of which "style" to use was made.

Actually I love the way Aeon, Trevor, Sypha, Carmilla, and Cornell were designed in Judgment.
It's the other characters that I'm not into as much.

I liked most of the judgment designs. Alucard, trevor and sypha were my favorites, I thought death looked good too, it reminds me of something he'd transform into. And I even liked the dracula design, even though he had those weird things sticking from his chest

Lol, yeah those "tubes" coming from Drax chest were weird. I understood what Obata was trying to do in making it look like he was a more "thrown together" looking Drac (what with the exposed heart and those tube/bolts holding him together).  But the coloring and contrasts makes it look a little TOO in your face.  It made Drac look less regal and more loony.

The Grant design started to grow on me.  Not so much the bandages but the more "Zombified" look of the character was cool.
I see it like the more traditional Grant(like the figure here) is when he's still alive and the Judgment Grant is a post Death/Cursed ghoulish Grant.

The Trevor design I loved right away. It's why I did a figure of him 1st.  It's what an older Trevor SHOULD look like. A little more armor for protection on him since he isn't quite as agile anymore and all the scars to prove he's been through some shiznit in his day.

Sypha needed a make over anyway. She was a pretty basic looking Robe wearing Mage type for far too long.  I'm glad they made her the prim and proper bookworm type.  I loved her interactions with Trevor and Maria the most. I got a good chunk of her custom figure done too. I really gotta finish her off already. >_<
