Custom Masters Of The Universe action figures

  • Teela done in the style of the original Mark Taylor concept art.
  • Mark Taylor concept art.
  • Front
  • Side
  • Back
  • Snake staff
  • This sword is originally from the Funko Primal Age Wonder Woman.
I wanted to make a Teela action figure that looked like the original concept art by Mark Taylor, the artist that helped create He-Man.
I used a combination of Milliput (2 part epoxy putty), hot glue, and feathers to make the armor and headdress. I also used Milliput to make the hair bigger in the front and add a larger ponytail in the back.
Next, I would like to make the original He-Man and Mer-Man.

Custom Action Figures (batch 2)

I managed to get my hands on a cheap King Randor action figure, it was in pretty bad shape, but the head was in good condition and I was able to make a mold of it. I already had a mold made of Battle Armor He-Man so in an ultimate act of laziness I made Battle Armor King Randor.
I wanted to make a Skeletor figure, but once I got the King Randor head mold made I thought with a little customization it would make a really cool Keldor. The hairstyle and beard give him more of a 70’s or 80’s vibe, which seems very fitting. I wanted to use the darker blue on his face to highlight his skull, but then toned it down when it looked way too cluttered. Keldor’s armor is made completely out of foam, toothpicks, and hot glue. I eventually made him a Havoc Staff too.
I honestly just wanted to see what it looked like to mix glitter into the plastic resin, I was not disappointed.
I give you Glitter Sparkle He-Man.
There was no way in hell I was going to drop $200 on a vintage Scare Glow, so I made my own. I even used glow in the dark paint. Lots and lots of glow in the dark paint. I modeled my version of Scare Glow on the Mondo Scare Glow figure.

Custom Action Figures (batch 1)

  • My figure in comparison to the William Stout Collection Rebel Leader He-Man figure by Super7.
The first figure I had to make was He-Man from the 1987 movie. As a kid, I always tried to make my He-Man figure look like the Dolph Lundgren movie version and I was always disappointed that Mattel never made one. In true 80’s toy fashion I tried to reuse already available pieces. He-Man’s legs are from Trap-Jaw and shoulder pads from Beast Man. This was the figure I always wanted as a child.
This was an early mold I did but then later abandoned because I messed it up, later I turned him into Prince Adam. I used pink on the vest to make him more like the Filmation cartoon version, but I couldn’t help adding the stitching to give him more of a Robin Hood look. I think my favorite thing about this custom was the hot rod red sword.
I always loved the idea of this mysterious Wun-Dar or Wonder Bread He-Man that nobody really seems to know the story behind. Well, not exactly anyway. My favorite thing on this custom figure was the armor that is made completely from crafting foam. I am still shocked at how well it turned out.
And finally, for this first batch, we have Ultimate Battle Armor He-Man. It’s basically Battle Armor He-Man with just a little bit more armor coverage, but not enough to actually be effective in combat. He-Man still has to be able to show off his muscles.

She-Ra / Swift Wind / Battle Cat

I wanted to draw a picture with She-Ra and I was inspired by my giant poster of Frank Frazetta’s Tiger Girl, but instead of 2 tigers I used Battle Cat and Swift Wind and of course She-Ra standing in between.
