Jmann's Blog of Blogging

OH MAN. CHECK ME OUT! I'M WRITING A BLOG AND WHATNOT.

 

 

So yes, I've finally decided to use one of my super secret website abilities to document random things in my life that I feel like sharing. Maybe. I'm not promising to do this on a regular basis, or even write another one of these here "blogs" ever again. I probably will, though. 

So, the main reason why I'm doing this is to document my progression in my newest hobby: CUSTOMIZING. So far, I've made a whopping ONE figure. And it was a 1:6 scale version of myself. 

 

Custom 1:6 Scale Jmann

 

 

So yeah, that's a thing. I've since decided to tone down my customizing and keep things to a 1:12 or 1:18 scale nature. My newest project is a custom Marvel Legends Deadpool. Now, I know what you're saying! "Jmann! Why are you making one of those? Hasbro/Toy Biz has released several in the past!"

Well, good question, you. The reason is because he is insanely expensive no matter where you buy him. Sure, they're releasing a new deco of the figure in Wave 3 of the current Legends line this Fall, but I wanted to have a go at recreating my favorite Marvel character from scratch (or Moon Knight). Plus, there's an issue with the current Deadpool mold where he can't hold his swords. I can't stand that, so that's why mine will use Toy Biz's fancy articulated finger thingies. As of right now, there's nothing to show here. I just wanted to give people a heads up on what I'm doing to keep myself busy aside from work and school and life and sleep.
