Looking good! Can the Lou Albano Mario swing his arms from side to side?

Thanks! He can for the most part. The only thing he can't do is that little split that Lou did at the end of the dance. The figure's legs aren't desgined with that articulation. The legs can just swivel and the knees can bend.


Here is a few more:
- Goomba's Shoe
- Mario Paint
- Mario in Mario Movie clothes 1993
- Yoshi from the SMB 1993 movie

For the Yoshi figure, I followed a Facebook page that was dedicated to the Mario Bros. movie from 1993. It looks like it is no longer up though. This was around Summer of 2021. Someone who used to work for ERTL (the company that made the Mario film figures) was able to produce Yoshi figures, so they are fairly official figures. I originally ordered a painted one, but the guy who was going to paint them backed out, so they sent me 2 unpainted figures. I painted one and kept the other sealed. The best part is the head and feet have articulation.

Fan Creations / Super Mario custom figures

Hello!

I have been doing customs for almost 15 years. I first started with Star Wars, then branched out to Super Mario. I figure this would be a great place to share my customs. Even though I have been doing this for a while, I'm still learning new techniques and there are others out there far talented than me. Hope you all enjoy!

Here is one I just recently finished and one of my favorites - Lou Albano as Mario. Lou was my favorite person to portray Mario. I just have to get the overalls altered because they look like JNCO jeans. In fact this was the first time I removed and sculped facial hair, so I'm extremely happy with how this one turned out. The mustache was sculpted with Milliput. The original figure I used was a WWE Lou Albano from Jakks Pacific.

Do The Mario!

Sorry, I'm not sure what happened. There's nothing in the Moderation Log so maybe it was a server/database hiccup? Another weird thing is your attachments ended up in another topic, too.

Can you please repost it as a new topic, and I'll delete the duplicates. Thanks.

Hi, I posted a new thread in the Fan Creations section yesterday. It was titled "Super Mario custom figures" but noticed today the title was changed to "Re: Let's count to a million FOR REAL" but if you click on the thread, my original posts are still there (minus the pictures). Under the "Started by" column, the name was changed also.

I don't believe I broke any rules? I made some custom figures and wanted to share them here (they aren't for sale if that was the issue).  I believe the Fan Creations section was the best place to post them.


Can anyone help me out?

I had a feeling it would unlock after so many posts. I've been a lurker for years, shame to see not much activity lately.

I wish it was a physical one! I ordered online just to be safe, I wanted to be there opening night. Although they did email me a copy so I could print that out.

I think topic-posting privileges are unlocked after posting a certain number of times (like ten or something).

More importantly, congrats on scoring an early ticket!  Is it an actual, physical one?  If so, save that baby for the scrap book.
