Star Wars "Xontros"











“I am the monster that haunts your dreams. I am the coming storm on the horizon. I am everything you fear. The force is a weapon, and I its master. To know me is to know death itself. For I am Sith, and I will crush all who dare to cross my path.”

This is the message that all force sensitive beings heard throughout the galaxy in their minds. The message caused widespread concern, enough so that Jedi Master Luke Skywalker recalled all former students to the Jedi academy.

Unlike those of the past who claimed the Sith title, Xontros is not hiding, has no secret plans for galaxy wide domination, doesn’t carry a “Darth” title before his name, desires to have no apprentice or master, and has no army to enforce his will. Long ago a treasure hunter stranded on the ancient Sith world of Korriban, he has spent a great many years alone and isolated there. Hearing voices and having dreams eventually lead him to many undiscovered crypts and tombs of past Sith Lords. Among the artifacts he discovered, he found armor and two swords made of the rare element cortosis, which have the unique properties of disabling lightsabers. Discovering the he was a force sensitive individual and having received teachings from various holocrons, he has learned the ways of the dark side of the force. But unlike traditional Sith teachings that inspire one to rise to power, Xontros yearns only to destroy and wreak havoc. If he was to become a ruler of anything, it would be as a ruler over a galaxy of nothingness. Xontros wishes only to fight and kill, and in doing so he believes that he will become stronger and stronger.

Xontros is an exceptionally gifted swordsman and wields his two cortosis blades with lightning fast speed and accuarcy. He is exceptionally strong in using force push/pull on others, objects, and to propel himself great distances. He is also quite strong in the use of force sense and mind tricks confusing others into believing he isn’t there. He relishes in causing fear in others as well. It is unknown if he has the ability to wield force lightning.

Xontros is nothing more than a self serving mass murderer, and he not only accepts this role as his destiny, he enjoys every part of it. He welcomes any and all who would challenge him openly, especially Jedi.


At first I was skeptical of using GI Joe parts for a Star Wars fig, due to them usually being taller and larger scaled. But with this, he is exactly right in height to fit right in with my Star Wars guys. I wanted to make a more non traditional Sith Lord, and hence he uses actual blades instead of sabers.

I made this figure to go along with my buddy and figure customizer Tankster's custom Spawn figure...After all, we can't have Hellspawns running around without Heaven's warriors to defend us!

Stronox Industries 66.6 "The Cure"











This is model number 66.6 code named "The Cure." My version of a cyborg walking death machine...His mission, eradicate all forms of life to purify the post apocalypotic New Earth and give the planet a chance to start over again.

I got the opportunity to meet Tri Gate Dave in person, and not only did he hook my son up with a heaping handful of his custom cast parts, I got some as well. They are top quality, and the detail is sick on these!! I had fun making this guy, and am happy with how he turned out.

New Earth "Kruug"









This is Kruug, a New Earth mutant. Kruug likes to break things, chop things, and smash things. Kruug generally doesn't get along well with others, and doesn't play nice. If you were to encounter Kruug, watch out for his mighty war axe, for he is faster than he looks and wields this hefty weapon with ease. Depending on his mood, Kruug may choose to fill you full of lead instead with his custom twin machine guns that he made himself. Kruug loves his weapons, and he takes very good care of them. The only other thing Kruug respects in this chaotic New Earth is strength. Best him in combat and he will forever be your loyal friend. Fail and your dead!

Marvel Universe Repaints










Nothing too fancy here...Just some of the Marvel baddies repainted with metallics. I did however get to give Absorbing Man a real chain for his wrecking ball though.

Voyager Megatron



















Here is my voyager Megs...Work includes removable wings (upon the request of my son), various scrapes and dings, and a ball jointed left hand that I got from an old Ultron figure and epoxied the soft bits from Megs original hand to it. I added cybertronian tattoos in various places as well, and am happy with how they turned out. I left the tabs for his feet as I am just not sure if I want to put them back on or not.
