Sebastian Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) This is my first 1/6 action figure custom EVER. So guys... what you think about it? It is a Kerberos, just like the Yamato/Dragon figure released a while back. This is the Red Spectacles Version. A 100% custom made. I got the custom armor from eBAy and I had to... do everything again. Lol, it ws real bad. It was a LOT of work, but fun as hell. Opinions are wellcome, but be nice, this is my first attempt with 12" figures. It is weathered, painted, and customized all over.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 It looks very slim compared to the other Kerberos figs I've seen. Still, that's top notch work, Sebastian. What kind of body did you use, btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 you made this woah, i have been wanting to get the jinroh normal figure thought it looked awesome, but this looks 10 times better you did a incredible job on it. what type of stuff did you use to customize it anyhow? you mention you got the custom armor from ebay? what parts are from ebay and what did they used to go to? you must post up more of your customs as you do them keep up the excellent work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 btw the arm sheild looks like it was from the MG Patlabor. was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Opinions are wellcome, but be nice, this is my first attempt with 12" figures. Who needs to be nice when its this well done? Good job Sebastian, looks like a collectable! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 what type of stuff did you use to customize it anyhow? you mention you got the custom armor from ebay? what parts are from ebay and what did they used to go to? I got the complete toy from eBay. A custom work. But the Armor was NOT remobable, feets and arms where Fixed. the shoulder plates where also fixed, the right leg was fixed.... It was really bad for a 12" figure... looked more like a fixed pose garage kit. Also the armor plates where full of mistakes and it was badly finished to say the least. It was a bit better than a Vinil figure. No poseability, bad detailing, sucky paint job and a terrible cast for the body armor. I replace the Body ( a NEW obitsu body) remade the legs armor (All the left leg armor is newly made), remade the Arms armor (The shield is the orinal one) and customised all the rest so it can be poseable and remobable, like the yamato/Dragon Jin Roh Anyways, It was super fun work. Yep it is considerable thinner than the Kerberos Stray Doggie, later will take pics side by side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulcy Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) Wow, that's impressive - What kind of body suit is the figure wearing under the armor? I really like how it's not as bulky as the normal Jin Roh figure, and those spring tubes from the mask are schweet!! EDIT - oh, and I think I saw the auction this custom was made from - the pics for the auction made it look really well done - I guess those were not representative of the actual figure, eh?

Mervin Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hey, Nice custom. Very slick. What's the body suit made of ? Did it come with the MG-42, mauser and the other accesories ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 What's the body suit made of ? Did it come with the MG-42, mauser and the other accesories ? I need to buy one MG 34 or 42... No accesories. About the suit, it is a jump suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnollman Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Looks great! I really like the chest cuirass on that, and the damage to the arm shield looks really good. Still... fella's got less of an ass than I do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_vandermeer Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Well done!!! You should have no worries about this being your first 1/6" figure custom. Looks great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifand Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Excellent effort! I think the only quibble might be that the head seems to sit a little too high... Man, I do wish Dragon would release the rest of the Protect Gear variants!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekkibasara1213 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 What's the body suit made of ? Did it come with the MG-42, mauser and the other accesories ? I need to buy one MG 34 or 42... No accesories. About the suit, it is a jump suit. The guns used in the anime are: MG42, STG44, and a Mauser pistol (P38 I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 The metallic paint is a great idea too! Your modding is perfect! I can't tell the difference! The face is really nice - he looks a bit like Darth Vader! And you called him Nicolas! So, is this what you want your boy to grow up to be??

Sebastian Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Excellent effort! I think the only quibble might be that the head seems to sit a little too high... Yep it sits high because of the metal tubes are just too long.... I need to cut them a bit and the head will be just fine. I really like the chest cuirass on that, and the damage to the arm shield looks really good. Originally... it is suposed to be the Kerberos Blasson... but the casting of the armor was so bad it looks like a... something else.. hehehe Guess I will have to do something about that. Still... fella's got less of an ass than I do.... Right... I dunno why I cant help thinking about Yamato´s Millia figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberwolf Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 DAMN nice job man! Jin Roh is one of my fav. anime's, so I'm always excited to see anything done w/ toys related to it, and yours is especially nice, I like the imprint on the arm shield, but I noticed it lacked the slot about 1/3-1/2 the way up where the ammo belt slides across. Other than that, friggin' kick ass! I can't believe that's your first custom, so keep up the good work Timberwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMoose Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Very nice. I just parted with my Protect Gear, and I really miss it. So, you did use one of the Kaiyodo recasts (they're notoriously bad, and out of scale to boot)? Very nice job. I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 YES YES It was one of those BAD KAiyodo recasts! And yes! hey are BAD! I knew you sold it to an Australian FREACK... Poor Stray Doggie... You sent him to his Doom... No protect gear can save him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Great stuff, Sebastian! Get that "dawg" an FG-42 and a Mauser C96 for his arm-shield, and he'll be ready to put down some radical protestors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrhead Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Great work Seba... Mr. High-headed-no-ass would scare the bejesus outta' me in a dark alleyway...
