I shudder to think of the countless figures butchered and cannibalized by Jin to make these kinds of things, especially where 4 figures alone died for this. Stop the madness!
Jin Saotome does it again with a custom Shy Guy action figureHow is it that Jin Saotome finds enough time in a day to apparently support himself and make some of the most lust-worthy custom action figures ever? I had just stopped fawning over his custom Earthworm Jim, and now I have to fawn over his newest new creation, a custom Shy Guy action figure equipped with a chaingun and bladed instruments of death such as hatchets and sickles. Swoon! Anything related to Mario makes me smile downstairs, especially when what I'm seeing is also a legit action figure, another world that brings more joy to my life than is legal in 49 of the 50 states (Oregon is just weird like that). According to Jin, Shy Guy, the uncanny minion from Subcon, was crafted here with a combination of figures such as a pvc Shy Guy supplying the mask, a DCU Dasaad donating the body, hands from a Mezco Spirit, boots from a SOTA Guile, plus artillery from an Iron Man toy combined with a Spawn gatling gun for the complete package. At least that's what Jin says is used to create this one. My working hypothesis is it's something closer to witchcraft. Jin, I'm not going to say it again: Make me a custom action figure- any custom action figure- and send it to me posthaste so that I may review it properly. I'm not going to keep your witchcrafting secrets secret forever, so if you want to keep doing what you're doing, it's time to make peace with me. Seriously, how am I supposed to go about my day knowing figures like this aren't readily available to me? Oh it makes me so mad! Jin I'm so mad right now I could just...I could just ask you again to make me a custom figure! [Thanks to sister site Destructoid for the tip!] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)....don't even know what to say about this one =x It's just too damn weird. On one hand, it modernizes the character much in the same way that the Super Mario Bros movie had takes on the franchise. On the other, he looks like a Resident Evil reject.
