First, again, thank you to everyone who helped get my registration activated. I've been watching/reading for over a year, but just today did my registration get approved. In addition to writing about toys -- http://www.battlegrip.com -- I've also been slowly building skills at customizing and constructing resin toys. Here are pics of my latest creation (in association with my wife, Gina, who made the molds and did all of the cleanup work on the cast pieces). There are a total of twelve of these resin monsters created. I'm taking with me on vacation this weekend and plan to snap photos of these guys in the desert.

So cute with their widdle feet! Great to see you here, Phil. Not to derail this thread, but I caught Doughty's "Metalhead" post on his blog. Were you guys planning on going into production with metal-cast heads? Or was that just a little one-time gig?

Or was that just a little one-time gig? That was an experiment. Matt has 40 or so metal heads and we've discussed creating more, but no firm plans yet. If the metal heads get released that will most likely be a Custom Corps project. But no decisions yet.

The fingertips and toes weren't coming out so Gina built up every single one on the dozen resin figures. And yes, I realize how lucky I am to have a wife who enjoys this sort of thing.

Looking good Philip. Keep it up. Glad you were able to save the hands. Those are always a pain.
