Marvel Legends Crossbones by fei long – I can really dig it when a customizer decides to make his own version of a character that’s already been made – this tops both of the Marvel Legends Crossbones that have come out, most recently in the SDCC exclusive Thunderbolts set – ends Oct 05, 2013 20:21:20 PDT

Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime with Lights and Sounds by CustomsByZ – I know we see a metric ton of Masterpiece Optimus Prime customs, with metallic paint, and many with LED lights – but how often do you see Optimus Prime with LED eyes and Matrix that are coordinated with a sound chip with four Optimus Prime soundbites? – that’s right, never – expect this to go through the roof for bids and final price – ends Sep 14, 2013 18:29:59 PDT

Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Cat-Man by Joe Amato

Joe Amato sent over pics of his latest custom, the Masters of the Universe Classics Battle Cat-Man. Hey, if Castle Grayskull can be transformed into Castle Grayskullman, then I can see how Battle Cat could become Battle Cat-Man, given all those times He-Man pointed his power sword at him to give him a dose of the Power of Grayskull. Joe’s gone all out with custom packaging and a fully sculpted removable helmet for the man-sized tiger head.

Battle Cat-Man is available on eBay if you want a shot at this one of a kind Masters figure – but I think you’ll have a lot of competition for him. The auction ends Saturday afternoon.
