Jin Saotome's latest customs make me shout Crikey! photo

There are a couple of things I would never expect to see. Jin Saotome's latest custom figures have shrunk that list by 2, as he's created a crocodile-armored Steve Irwin and his arch-nemesis, the Death Ray sting ray. I imagine that some could find this a bit tasteless, but I'll take the humor in stride and just enjoy the sheer novelty of a Steve Irwin that has a rocket crocodile punch.

All jokes aside, I'm thoroughly impressed by this set of customs. Steve has the aforementioned crocodile head rocket punch, a hovering board using hawk wings, and the scaled-hide of the croc providing much needed armor. Death Ray is certainly no less entertaining, as the prospect of a anthropomorphic  sting ray in possession of a death ray is rather frightening. I'd only trust one man to the task, so croc-armored Steve Irwin, save us all. I would love to have these, but knowing how most auctions of his work goes, I won't be able to afford them. Such is life stopping me from owning a risen from the dead, croc-armored Steve Irwin.

You can check out more of the images in the gallery below as well as more of Jin's custom figures at his website.

Legacy Comments

but i thought that typ of stingry wasn't really dangerous
...
what to soon?
Oh hell yes! I see this as more as a homage than a joke. Steve Irwin was a childhood hero of mine, so this is an awesome tribute.

Long live his legacy.
The Sting Ray is far more epically hilarious.

You could probably build the Sting Ray if you wanted. The main body is 6" Venom from either Spidey Classics or the Hasbro Spidey line (same body mold either way, iirc, although the Hasbro one is like $10 at retail). The chest piece is DCUC Desaad's. I think he only goes for like $7 on Amazon now. I *think* the arm guards are from McFarlane Halo figures, as is probably the gun. The head is just a sting ray toy, wouldn't be more than a few bucks. Not sure where you could get the flippers and shin-guards from. All in all, the whole thing probably shouldn't run you more than $30 or $40 >_> .
