Here is just a small portion of my Masters Of The Universe artwork going back to around 2009. Unfortunately i cant find any of the stick figure drawings of my childhood😁

Got this idea from the Masters Of The Universe figure three packs that they used to sell back in the 80's.
Nerdy side note, the Stinkor action figure stunk because the plastic was infused with patchouli. I have a Stinkor that has a 1981 stamp and after 36 years it still stinks. — Got this idea from the Masters Of The Universe figure three packs that they used to sell back in the 80's.

This was more of a mixture between New Eternia and the Mondo figures.

Utrom

A friend commissioned me to make some figures from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. The Utrom figures were just repainted from pink to blue but Mozar, like Slash, was made from a silicone mold that was soaked in mineral spirits. Much like Slash, most of Mozars limbs had to be completely recreated. What do you think?

A friend commissioned me to make some figures from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. The second figure I finished was Slash, he is created with a silicone mold that was soaked in mineral spirits to increase its size and then resin cast. This process is rather difficult and I had to build the hands and spikes from scratch. What do you think?

A friend commissioned me to make some figures from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. The first one I finished was Leatherhead, he is completely 3D printed, but things like his teeth come out underwhelming so they needed to be fixed. Oh yeah and he is bigger. Way bigger. What do you think? Did it turn out okay?

I really like this New Eternia action figure line from Mattel. At this time, as far as i know, there is only He-Man, Skeletor, and Beast Man available in stores.
Who is your favorite New Eternia figure?
What Masters Of The Universe figure are you hoping to see soon?

I found a good deal on a few Masters Of The Universe Origins figures so I decided to make some custom action figures. These ones are heavily inspired by the Mondo action figures that were released a few years back.
