    I cut the quills off of a large Jurassic Park Indoraptor figure, resculpted the areas I chopped up, sculpted new larger eyes, sculpted lips because the teeth were on the outside of its mouth, and fully repainted it to have a more realistic looking and articulated velociraptor mode to display with my MP Dinobot on my MP Beast Wars shelf.
    Yep. That's what I did.

    I don't know what is more tragic, the fact that this is the most beautiful custom I have seen in years and it's not for sale,
    or the fact that you have amazing things in your ebay store, but don't ship to Australia. (totally understandable)
    Keep up the good work, and if you want to sell one, I call dibs.

    Thanks!
    For years I did sell overseas but the drastic occasional shipping cost differences that I couldn't predict within a reasonable margin were causing me to sometimes lose money, then all it took was one damaged package that I had to refund and pay out the whazoo for their return shipping to make me stop shipping out of USA.

    I do still do commissions all the time for folks not in USA (working for a guy in AU right now in fact), and I tend to trust people here at TFW more than random ebayers. If you want to discuss getting anything from me, commission or my ebay stuff, just message me.

    It’s Dinobot’s clone from “Double Dinobot”! Seriously, awesome work as usual. Do you have plans to make beast mode figures for any of the other characters?

    Wow, that's some amazing work bro. I wish more of the dinos from that line were articulated like the Indoraptor.

    Not at the moment. I just saw this figure at a good price and thought it would be good for this.
