Brainstorm with Me and Win a Custom

Posted on January 27, 2012 by kodykoala

Iam8bit has ended, and my Dr. Mario sculpture did not sell. Instead of putting it in my store to sell, and to celebrate my new blog layout, I have decided to give it to someone out there. There is one catch, I need some good ideas for customs. I want this to be a sort of brainstorming session. Give me ideas, even if they are a little out there. I prefer video game customs, but I know there are a lot of other good ideas out there to, so don’t limit it to video games. Here is what you have to do to win:

Place a comment on this post with your idea for a cool custom figure.
A winner will be picked at RANDOM from the posts
Drawing will be on February 27th (My birthday!)
International Entries allowed. I will ship it to wherever it needs to go.

I know a lot of people have been wanting a custom, so here is your chance to get Dr. Mario and Nurse Peach for your collection. For more pictures, you can go to My Flickr Page. Good luck everyone!

Kodykoala’s Custom Cave Story Figure

Posted on December 11, 2011 by kodykoala

I recently played Cave Story and I fell in love with it. I wanted to make a figure from that game. I looked up some pictures and found a great picture by glitcher from Deviantart.

I wanted to do this, but I was faced with a couple of problems…mainly the bubble. I was racking my brain, until I stumbled across a musical snow globe that would work perfectly. The dome is plastic, so the paint won’t come off of it as easily as it would glass. The dome is also removable so that you can get a better look at the figures.

I thought that the Pinky Street form would work great, so I used them as the base. Quote’s head is Ash’s head from a pokemon figure.

Kodykoala’s Custom Bowser Cosplay Figure

Posted on November 12, 2011 by kodykoala

I originally made this figure for a Halloween contest, but I didn’t make the deadline, so I ended up adding a base and made it look like an attendant to San Diego Comic Con. I also gave him a bag full of stuff that he bought at the con.

For the Bowser body parts, I used a vinyl Bowser from ebay. For the figure, I used a playschool Luke Skywalker figure. He came with a cool helmet that could be taken off, so I put that on the inside of the mask to make sure it would fit right. The bag was printed, laminated, and then glued together. The toys are just random little toys that I had in my parts collection.

Kodykoala’s Custom Alien Ipod Explosion

Posted on November 7, 2011 by kodykoala

I was in the mood to destroy some of my old broken electronics, so I decided that after an old Gameboy, I need to do my first generation Ipod Nano. I did not want to do zombies again, and I found this really great alien in a box of old Creepy Freaks. The arms are some wire I had and the hands and feet are from a terminator toy.

Kodykoala’s Custom Zombie Gameboy

Posted on October 20, 2011 by kodykoala

Here is a custom that was unexpected. I found an old Gameboy and I wanted to do something with it. While I was taking it apart, I was reminded of Gameboy from Captain N, and I thought it would be cool to make the screen a face. This Gameboy was really beat up to begin with, so I decided the Zombie motif would work with it.

The face is a printed piece of paper and is from Sparetype. The feet are from an Iron Man Mark I figure and the hands are from an Iron Monger Figure. I wanted to make it seem like it was bleeding, but since it is not human I used a metallic brown for blood instead. This stands about 6-7 inches.

My Customs in the Iam8bit Store

Posted on October 11, 2011 by kodykoala

The pieces that I submitted to Iam8bit are now up in The Iam8bit Store. My items are on page 3, and if you want better pictures check out my Dr. Mario and Nurse Peach and my Eggplant Wizard Attacks. I guarantee that these are worth the price to have a one of a kind piece that no one will ever have that was handmade by me. I will never reproduce either of these. Please take a look.

Kodykoala’s Hard Drive JunkBot

Posted on October 6, 2011 by kodykoala

I haven’t done one of these in a long while, but I had a bunch of old hard drives lying around, so I though I would make this guy. I mainly used the hard drive heads, but I also threw in a few of the disks and a case for the base. I am probably going to give this to someone at work, but I wanted to share and show that you don’t have to throw out all your old computer stuff. For more pictures, go to My Flickr Page.

Kodykoala’s Custom Mario and Zombie Luigi

Posted on October 1, 2011 by kodykoala

I realized that I did not have a zombie scene with Mario in it. We all know that Mario would not get infected by any Zombie disease, but that is not going to stop zombie Luigi from trying to recruit is big bro. I wanted the Luigi to look almost exactly like the one that I did a while ago, and I had him attack his brother, but Mario was not unprepared. He comes equipped with a handgun, blade, and shotgun that is about to shoot off Luigi’s head.

I used 5″ vinyl figures and some weapons that I had lying around. The base was made with apoxy sculpt. If you would like to see more pictures, please go to My Flickr Page. If you are interested in purchasing this piece, it is for sale in My Customs Store.

Kodykoala’s Custom Darth Vaderman

Posted on September 4, 2011 by kodykoala

Here is another Star Wars mashup. I found this Darth Vader Bath toy along with the Yoda one I used for the Toad Jedi. The Darth Vader bath toy wasn’t very useable except for the head, so I used a vinyl Shadowman figure. I have seen a lot of people do pixel art in the style of Megaman, so I thought I would do it with toys.

I wasn’t sure what colors to paint him since Darth Vader is all black, but most Megaman Bosses are at least two colors. I think the darker silver works pretty well.

If you would like to see more pictures, please go to My Flickr Page. If you are interested in purchasing Darth Vaderman, please head over to My Customs Store.

Kodykoala’s Custom Toad Jedi

Posted on August 27, 2011 by kodykoala

I found this awesome Yoda bath toy at the flea market and thought the body would be awesome with something else. The only character I had that was short enough to pull it off was Toad, so he was chosen. This one took me a little bit to fill in the holes and cracks from what I cut out. It went from being totally hollow to mostly solid. It stands about 5-6 inches tall.

If you would like to see more pictures, please go to My Flickr Page. I have also decided to put this one up for sale, so if you are interested, please visit My Custom Store.
