This is literally the greatest custom made action figure I’ve ever seen in my life. You really outdone yourself !
Thanks so much, dude! I was excited for you to see this one after you were trying to figure out what that turtle shell was all about 😂
Haha man I just realized I was thinking of a different convo when I typed this. You were probably like "what is he talking about??" lol. But thank you again for the kind words, brotha!
@@Ibrahim_MImpressive. No.... Perfection.
@@kenjira4492 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼!
That’s not just one of the coolest things you’ve ever made, that’s one of the coolest things anyone has ever made.
Ha! I really appreciate that, dude! Thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Ibrahim_M You’re welcome!
Talent. Just PURE TALENT!
This is how the turtle skin and shell should look. That shell is beautiful!
Thank you so much! They took a really long time to do, so I greatly appreciate the kind words!
The ambition here paid off beyond belief. This is just crazy inspiring to a fellow customizer!
Thanks very much, that means a lot!
Bro is there anything you cant make look good? Your talent is insanely inspiring on so many levels. Never stop doing what you’re doing man
Dude, thank you SO much for the kind words. It really means a lot to me. I appreciate you checking it out! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
This is probably the best TMNT custom figure I have ever seen.
Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼
This is probably the best looking version of a ninja turtles, wow!
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to finish the team out!
It's a little insane how cool that looks.....
Haha thank you very much!
Dude. Amazing. I'm so hyped on how this came out dude. Not just a cool figure, but a super rad design for a Ninja Turtle. Once again this goes so far beyond a custom and becomes like fucking art. So jealous of your patience to source, sculpt, paint, plan all this. All it's missing is the Jose Canseco bat.
Yoooo thanks so much, bro. That means a lot. When I was putting the finishing touches on I was actually thinking how it would be dope to do one like that drawing you did if Ralph a few years ago.
This is amazing. I simply can't find the words, but they're there. Customizing really takes skill, time and patience and this is one of the finest examples of what could be done with some inspiration! It's a one of a kind Raph and he looks leagues ahead of of those pricey figures. I wish I had your talent! Thanks for sharing this with us!!! Can't wait for the Leo upload as well!
Man, thank you so much for the incredibly kind words, and for checking out the video! I initially wasn't sure if I'd do all 4, but comments like this inspire me to continue. Leo will be the next one that I do for sure. Thanks again!
Best Version of a Ninja Turtle. So cool. ❤
Thank you, dude! 🙏🏼🙏🏼!
You made a turtle actually look like a ninja and threatening
Very impressive project. I like how a lot of the textures turned out, I think it fits very well for ninja turtle figures.
I really like the proportions too, it works for Raphael, reminds me a lot of the Franklin TV show for some reason.
Love it. I look forward to seeing what you do for the others, especially for how you’d tackle Splinter, I feel like that will have a lot of its own challenges for sure
Thanks very much, Steven. Yeah, Splinter would be a real head-scratcher, haha. I’d want to do “fur” on him, and it would take a very long time 😂
This one turned out great! Brilliant customization!
Thank you, Rus!!
This is the best coolest most original custom I’ve seen.
That’s really nice of you to say, thank you! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
@@Ibrahim_M you are awesome lol what’s that leather paint called?
@@lokiwartooth1138 thank you! It’s Angelus Leather Paint. I really like this stuff there’s a link in the description that’ll take you right to it!
When i first saw it i thought it was 1/6 scale amazing job
Wow, thank you!
@@Ibrahim_M i was so confused when i saw the small parts until i re read the title
@yobama6052 😂🙏🙏
this is the best TMNT action figure ive ever scene. Hell the design is amazing and would make for a great live action TMNT
Thanks so much, that’s really nice of you to say! This was kind of my idea of “it would be cool if they did a movie like this” now that I think about it, haha.
Wow, this thing turned out so much better than I thought it would. I definitely want to see you do the other three, each with a different body type.
Haha, me too. Planning to do the rest for sure. Currently looking at how I might proportion them a bit differently.
It would be interesting to see a turtle van based on how you build your custom vehicles, also the rest of the turtles maybe even a Splinter
I actually did one a few years ago (I just reposted it the other day on my Instagram if you wanna see it). Regrettably I sold it, but I wanna take a crack at another one.
He came out SO GREAT, Ibrahim! And love that you added the tail!!
Thank you, Sophie!! You know I couldn’t let you down by not having one, haha.
Dude this is truly incredible. Your eye for sourcing pieces is top notch!!!! Certainly not trying to tell you what to do or anything but if you’re maybe thinking of adding some raised scale texture, I couldn’t recommend tulip puff paint enough! I used it to get some raised texture on my 1/12 soft goods Darth Vader to get that leather rib texture and i think it looks great! Bonds super well with spandex. Just a recommendation, but dude seriously your videos make me so happy!! Raph is my favorite turtle!
Thanks, Bailey! And I appreciate the tip! I hadn’t considered puff paints- I’ll probably try that on that next one!
Absolutely brilliant!! You have to not only finish all the turtles but Id love to see you flesh out all the major characters
We’ll see how much I have in me, haha. I’d love to at least do Bebop and Rocksteady at some point!
That's another level of customization man 🔥
Thank you, man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing work…..blown away at how what you created turned out - all the kudos!
Thank you very much, Keith! 🙏🏼
Very unique way of doing a ninja turtle, great job this is amazing. Awesome ideas to make this custom
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Honestly seeing this REALLY makes me want a 2014/2016 turtles custom figures
That is beyond amazing!
Thank you so much!
Its PERFECT!
We need a movie with this design and merch... shame on Mezco that they didnt think of the leather skin before cause they have popularized cloth goods at this scale... Best Custom ever.. love how an idea comes to reality
Thank you so much, Amir! I really appreciate the kind words 🙌🏼 I’ve got all 4 brothers finished here on the channel if you’d like to see them all completed!
Whewww!!! This is by far the best and coolest custom TNMT I’ve seen!! 🔥 🔥🔥 work bro !!
Ayyyyy thank you so much, man!! It was a lot of work and really hard to make, so I really appreciate that!
Spectacular custom, good gracious!!!
Thank you very much!
That was genius! Insanely creative thinking man! He looks so good 👌
Thank you so much! Just two to go and then the brothers are complete!
Wow just wow!! besides the cool looking figure, the engineering you went through makes even better, can't wait to see all four completed, congrats!!!
Thank you, Carlos! I really appreciate that!
Looks freaking incredible!!!
Thank you!
I'm speechless... outstanding
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
That is so cool it kinda reminds me of the designs in the mutants in Manhattan game
Thank you!
That's actually very impressive
Thank you!
All I have to say is wow 😮
Thank you!
No way man! Fracking awesome!
Much appreciated!!
Damn! This is a masterpiece. I can't wait to see the rest of the crew.
Thank you, Jeremy! I appreciate it, man!
I will rate your custom fig .Cons I have none.Pros Seamless,great head sculpt,outstanding shell, you have inspired me to try custom thank you
Haha, thank you! And I'm so glad you felt inspired by this-- that's my whole goal with these is to inspire people to feel creative. Have fun!
hit em with the splinter off the bat
🔥
Haha, had to do it!
This dude is the goat he replys on every comment
Haha thank you so much. I try! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Jesus christ. This is incredible. The creativity is really what takes me back. The cloth painted to look like skin i mean.... God this is amazing man. Earned a new sub easily.
Hey thanks so much for the kind words! And welcome!
Hear me out, those shells with marvel legends venom body, sculpted head, turtle hands and feet
Mmmmm perfection
😘👌
I’m not a fan of Marvel Legends personally, so I’ll have to look him up!
Radical radical radical!
This came out great
Thanks, man! I appreciate it 🙏🏼🙏🏼
AMAZING custom! I understand your reasoning for the belt, but it still looks odd to me with the belt on the front and disappearing on his sides. All the different elements used to make the various pieces was inspired. I'd love to see you tackle the other 3 and Splinter.
I have to say the head reminds me a little bit of the masks from a video "parody" of the franchise not made for children, but that's not a knock on the finished sculpt at all.
I was sceptic but u blew it out of the park so good job
Thanks!
Really great job this looks so good
Thanks so much!!
Amazing work on both the video and the figure.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
The level of detail in this, is amazing! And the soft goods touch is the perfect addition, to match the realism. 🤌🏾💎
Thank you, brother! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great! I always wished some company would make the Live Action movie based TMNT from Bay. Those were really the ones I wanted.
This is awesome 👌
Thank you, my friend! Yeah that would have been very cool!
Dang man you really nailed this project. Looks incredible, great job!
Thanks very much, man!
I am not a TMNT fan, heck I am not even western action figure fan , I mostly get anime/import figures. BUT, your custom figure LOOKS AMAZING!! not to mention all that articulation?! AWESOME!! It even have good amount of realistic looks to it too! (with all that surface textures)
VERY good job sir! hats off to you!
I appreciate that! Thanks for checking it out!
This is top notch work.
Thanks very much!
Dude! Wow! 👏👏👏 You killed it! 🙌 Everything you do is so creative with an astonishing attention to detail.
Thanks so much, Paul! I really appreciate the kind words!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic figure.
Thank you!
Wow ! Just wow
Thank you!
Whoa! Great job. I’m hella impressed 😳
Thanks very much!
Gorgeous!!! It is brootal!
Yooo thank you!
This is absolutely F*****g insane man. Awesome work.
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Ibrahim_M You’re welcome brother. I’m hooked on your videos now lol
@@Mr.Notsoniceguy that means a lot! I appreciate you checking them out 🙌🏼
The spandex with the leather paint is kindof a game changer! Thats a really rad idea and worked perfectly! Ironically ive neen trying ro figure out how to make a realistic bebop and rocksteady... i bought two wrestle guys for a base but couldnt figure out how to make a good rhino hide... i think im gonna try this! (Also, for leather paint, you can use 50/50 any color applebarrel cheap paint and liquid fabric softener.)
Thanks man! That sounds awesome!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!
Thank you very much!!
That's the best TMNT figure I've ever seen, better than NECA. Amazing work.
Thank you so much!
So dang talented, gorgeous figure!
Thank you so much!
This is better than the Mezco Turtles! Congrats!
Thank you so much!
Whoa.. It looks spectacular man! It’s like a 1:12 scale Hot Toys figure. It’s a work of art. Thanks for sharing bud. 👊😎
I really appreciate that, man! Thank you for watching!
Wallahi, this is amazing! Can’t believe how good this is!
Shukran ya akh! I appreciate it!
Absolutly astonishing. It's amazing what you were able to do kit bashing this figure and making it so cohesive. This is how live action TMNT should look. So cool and I really hope you do them all.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙌🏼 I was really stoked that it actually worked, haha. I got all the stuff to do Leo next!
@@Ibrahim_M Leo has always been my favorite so I'm excited to see how you make him. I love all the turtles and with how great Raph came out I'm sure they're all gonna look awesome.
@@donkeypunch719 thank you, man!
Amazing job! Really great creativity, finished figure looks awesome.
Thanks very much!
I Think Leonard Would Look Really Good With The Sea Turtle Shell But Yet Again It Doesn't Matter It Will Look Really Good Anyways
Thanks! Even though I have the other shells I want to make them all the same kind of turtle, so thankfully these turtles aren’t too expensive, haha.
Turned out great! I like how chunky he is!
Thanks, dude! I’m very happy with the turtle-y proportions on this guy, haha.
honestly i'm shocked that in the many attempts to do more turtle like turtles no one else has done an accurate turtle shell pattern cuz it's such a great way to make them more turtley
I think it'd be a more costly thing to do en masse, probably? I don't imagine it would be hard in a factory with stencils, though. Gotta be a cost/low level of interest thing.
@@Ibrahim_M true true but even in like rise of the tmnt where they were doing specific turtle species that shell pattern would've been a good touch and a good way to differentiate the brothers even further with their shell patterns
This is absolutely amazing brilliant product and result sir 👏
Thank you very much!
Stunning work. Subscribed.
Thank you so much, and welcome to the channel!
Perfect example of trust the process I was so hesitant but you absolutely killed it, it reminds me of raph from the out of the shadows video game
Great work man
Thank you! Haha yeah this one was tough for people to see the vision on because the parts were so crazy. I really like those OOTS designs and sadly I never got to play the game. When the sequel Bay movie came out with the same title it made the game impossible to find.
Great idea with the skin
Thank you!
Bein as you usually do guys with their vehicles...Looks like they are gonna need a turtle van!
I did one a few years ago but I sold it! 😩 Might make another one tho! Also, now you know what that turtle shell was all about! haha
Lol, yes sir! Not what I was expecting on the shell but nice surprise
I realize the character is not widely liked… but if you do all 4 turtles… i'd like to see your take on a Venus DeMilo fifth turtle
@@emilflognoid1532 I can't see myself making a figure of her but maybe I'll draw her one of these days.
It looks like a NECA toys. I congratulate you and it looks great.❤
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
@@Ibrahim_M 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sorry never even got to the end of the video I liked it so fast wow this is amazing art toy that if it was on the shelf’s I would buy it easy hands down
Thanks so much, dude! I really appreciate it!
You killed this man
Thank you, sir! 🙏🏼
Amazing work I really would love to see the other guys
Thank you! They’re coming, so stay tuned!
Wow, very good. I think the painting really makes it very good. The head sculpt is incredible too. :)
Thanks very much!
I love this kind of thing. When I was a kid I used to take different figures apart and create new ones using sticky tape 😂. Your work here is amazing. A definite new sub. I need to see more of your work. Fantastic.
Thank you very much! Haha that’s awesome. I never took mine apart, but I did try to make toys that I couldn’t afford out of random items. I made a turtle comm toy like that. It’s fun to realize you e carried that into adulthood, haha.
Outstanding work!
Thank you so much!
Damn That's Amazing I Wonder What Would A Leonard Look Like
Thanks! Subscribe and stay tuned because Leo is next!
Ok Sure By The Way I Hope Your Day Has Been Good
@@loranjames2128 thank you very much, and likewise!
Your Welcome And Think You 😊
Talent!!!!
Thank you!!!
How I picture Raph too, imho... awesome work!
Thank you very much! Yeah it's really fun to see this kind of version since there really aren't any non-cartoony or non-movie-specific versions out there.
This looks siiiick! Great work
Thanks very much!
This is so awesome. Great video. The figure is insanely awesome. I love making stuff from scratch and incorporating different stuff into customs so this is way up my alley. So cool. Great work.
Thanks, man! Nothing like finding a bunch of random, disparate pieces and figuring out how to cobble them together into something. I appreciate you checking it out!
This is how they should look in the movies
🙏🏼🙏🏼!
This is amazing
I got to see the set!
Thank you! Stay tuned-- more coming soon!
Looks amazing great job!!
Thank you!!
