Customs Corner Special: Staff Showcase

As the years go by and Tokunation grows, we have made many featured articles, galleries, and changes to help connect to the tokusatsu fan community. With this being Tokunation’s sixth year being live, as well as the one year anniversary of our Customs Corner segment we here amongst the staff have decided to make a special showcase gallery of our works! Dive into the gallery to see the customs of our very own Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, Kiryu, KamenRiderOOO and ZeoRangerV and take a read at how they created their pieces in this discussion thread! From Minipla to custom S.H. Figuarts to a Gundam, there is no shortness of unique customs!

We hope you all enjoy what you see and thank you all for your continued support!

Be sure to give them all follows on their Twitter pages; @DenO_Tokunation, @SoulinkChu, @DK_Zer0, @TrueKROOO and @Ajax_Ranger!

For this special month, we've decided to showcase our staff! Read below on how they worked on these pieces!

Den-O:

For Sarah I use parts from SHF Body-Chan that's for the base body and arms, SHF Fujiko from Lupin the 3rd for the forearms and hands, an SHF Shocker Combatman for the neck and feet, a vintage Blue SWAT Combat Cloth line SWAT Sarah for the blue undersuit weapons holster helmet and diecast chest plate, and some scraps of fabric for the boot cuffs.

I love Metal Heroes and it feels that similarly to Sentai ones, the line is dying outside of a few scattered releases, so I wanted to take it upon myself to slowly rectify that with Sarah first. Eventually I'll do the other three characters from Blue SWAT, SWAT Sho, SWAT Sig, and Gold Platinum.

For the Gaim custom, I started with an BB Legend Daishogun Mk 3 Kit. From there, I made the weapons and added parts from a legend musha gundam. Those little bumps I had to cut out and glue on myself and it was one of the most tedious things I’ve done for any kit. But you definitely can’t argue with the results

I love the articulation Minipla have, but wish they didn’t rely so heavily on stickers (although it’s getting better and better each year) so I try to paint them wherever I can. I mostly hand paint using citadel colours, though with Kyuranger and the Super Minipla I’ve started to experiment a bit more with spray coats for the silver and gold bits.

You guys know me, I love making Figuarts. Ever since my very first one, ToQ1, I've been on the customs train for years. I use parts of Sentai Keychain Swings for heads, junker Figuarts for bodies, and Sentai Hero Vinyls for armor bits! Check the article for the debut of 3 of my newest pieces!
