Those are some pretty cool customs and a great story. He sounds like a good dude. It's neat to see what some customizers create using existing parts. Personally, I barely can find the time to fill my collection with customs of actual characters. I've never attempted to create a new character for a line. Maybe someday. Do you have any links to his sites? I wouldnt mind just looing around.

So here is an update, unexpected I'm sure but I saved this occasion on this very date of 12/10/23 and I will get to that in a moment. DarthHink (the other Brandon I personally knew ;) He was a Horror, MOTU, Star Wars & Wrestling freak like Me which I was quite lucky and very fortunate that I found him on eBay :) I wanted to enter this as I only showed it in My GINORMOUS Spooky Figure Showcase & More located here ---> http://www.dctoyrevolution.org/general-toy-discussions/a-ginormous-spooky-figure-showcase-more-t1170.html. This item is My Marvel Zombies Book that was given to Me by DarthHink in My Christmas Farewell Box with tons of goodies that I showed on Page 1. You can go back and see it all in it's entirety plus much more if you wish. So here is the picture I took over two years ago :blbat: :blww: :blsm:

Image

Now here is the big reason why I am posting this update for this particular date. If you look at everything that I showcased within this Topic you will not see this. On that dreadful day (dreadful because I was so depressed beyond words of being in the hospital for over two weeks then I didn't want to come home and because I was scared). When I came home a package from the Mail was waiting for Me an dit was from DarthHinka nd within this package he included it with My Snake-Man Mercenary & Crystal Armor She-Ra...it's none other than the DVD of He-Man & She-Ra Christmas Special :o :batshock: :wwshock: :smgasp: I already had it on DVD when I bought the whole collection but I never wanted to tell him that because it was Christmas time and he did this out of the goodness of his heart so here it is still in it's CD/DVD Sleeve that he put it in and I don't think I ever removed it so it's still quite pristine :)

Image

Now here is arguably the biggest aspect of this whole presentation. On the back of the CD/DVD Sleeve he personally wrote as special Note to Me. I remember it like it was yesterday when I got this I cried My head off because I was so depressed going thru all of that trauma and trying to get back track which I had major PTSD (you can check on the board when I fell & broke My leg in similar fashion like Sycho Sid Viscous...it was on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, 2013...when this happen to Me, it was such a horrible time and nobody knows what crap is like till it happens to them!) so I mean I wasn't Myself to say the least. So here is his Note with his very creatively awesome signature, now take a good look at it as you see it's 12-10-13 as it was three days after My accident as he didn't hesitate in the slightest which it was so great of him to do this wonderful gesture for Me...today as I'm typing this right now is 12/10/23...that's 10 years ago on December 10th, 2013 of this year on this very date :o :batshock: :wwshock: :smgasp:

Image

So here's all three that he gave Me together to reminiscent how it was 10 years ago on this day. Now this is pretty cool :)

Image

So there's that and I'm thankful that I was able to do this. Even though this was under dire circumstances for Myself, I am also thankful that the guy I was doing business with was also kind, generous & considerate because I know there's others that wouldn't have been. That's all for this one and I hope you liked this unexpected entry :scbat:

A very touching story and I'm very glad you had someone who showed you kindness during such a dark time.
