Trying My Hand At Customizing A Mighty Muggs Figure
Author: Stephen Gerding
June 27th, 2008
So, I thought I might venture into the world of customizing figures, and figured that since the Mighty Muggs only run around ten bucks a pop, that would be the way to go. I’ve been interested in trying my hand at some Munny custom jobs, but the bigger figs aren’t cheap enough for me to want to paint and chop away at them with no previous experience.
At any rate, I’ve thrown together the following designs, and I’ve already got one Mugg painted a nice, flat Hellboy red. Just need to get to a store and grab some paints and a few paintbrushes, maybe a paint pen or two, and I’ll start in on the detail work. The stone hand may be a little tricky, but I think I’ll just fake it with some Sculpey or something like that, unless anyone out there has a better/easier idea.

Looks real sweet there, Steve. Personally, I would love to see two versions of Iron Fist (classic 70’s disco collar look and current Matt Fraction look).

Oh, shit - Iron Fist would be DOPE! Not sure how to create the collar, though…

Yeah, I’m good for suggestions but nada concerning creation. I’m thinking that there has to be some plastic sheet at an art supply store; like Shrinky Dinks or something like that.

Brilliant idea Steve! I’m inspired. I wouldn’t mind sacrificing my Jango Mugg for a figure like that! I’m thinking a series of Watchmen Muggs, starting with Rorschach.
For the IF collar, I’d try craft foam.
