In the past few weeks I've added a few amazing customs to my collections. I often fall in love with Pokémon that have little to none official merchandise available, so a couple friends of mine surprised me with gorgeous customs!
The first one is a Gen V favorite of mine... Shiny Heatmor! This fiery anteater only got one plush and one kid figure as official non flat merchandise and of course none of them came in shiny form (which is obviously my favorite coloration for her), so my friend
Matsutzu got me a surprisingly well sculpted bootleg figure and repainted it to be shiny. I think he did a really great job! I'm in love with this figure!!!
This is the TOMY that never existed, and it being shiny makes it even better.
Heatmor have cute tails!
Next we have some Gen VI Pokémon that have no figures at all yet, so my IRL friend Rosangela sculpted them from scratch and giften them to me!
If you want to personally comment on these wonderful sculptures you can do so on her tumblr. Here's an Avalugg carrying a small herd of bergmite on his back!
Bergmites are removable! I want to hug that sad looking one...
Avalugg on his own!
Detail of his back...
... and his bottom! Avalugg and Bergmite are also basically zukan sized, so if they never get a Zukan figure I'll have this wonderful custom to make up for it.
And now the star of this post...
HAWLUCHA! My favorite gen VI Pokémon and one of my favorite Pokémon ever! I just adore her, and Rosangela did an OUTSTANDING job at sculpting and painting this beauty. It took her bascially a week of work but I think it was really worth it.
It's a decently sized figure, too!
A different angle.
Detailing on the back...
... and feet!
Detail of an eye, I helped a little bit choosing the right expression for the sculpture but everything else is 100% made by her. I am so happy to have added such gorgeous customs to my collections. I hope to be able to add more in future!
Thank you all for reading and if you like my friends' works be sure to let them know by sending them a message on their Tumblrs or something, I'm sure it will make them happy :)
