This custom is of the ever-popular Samus Aran from the "Metroid" series. It was a personal challenge to do this project.

I've always been interested on doing Urban Vinyl customs, but the cost of blanks was just cost-prohibitive for me, and then Hasbro released Mighty Muggs. While a lot of UV diehards might cringe at the idea of a "mainstream" corporation messing around in the scene, I actually welcomed the opportunity to step in to the custom UV arena and not break the bank:) So I bought a Star Wars Mighty Mugg Lando, and went to work!

The figure has been modded with an LED light setup, and has UV-Light Reactive / Glow in the dark paint. Overall, it took about a week and a half to make.

It was a fun project, and I look forward to doing more. I want to eventually step away from doing licensed characters and just really make some far-out MUGGS, but I have a few ideas of character who I want to see in this format;)


**UPDATE**

The buyer of this MUGG left me GREAT feedback on Ebay! Whew! I'm pretty confident in my work, but when I saw it go for so much on Ebay, I had gotten a bit nervous for some reason:). Needless to say, I'm a bit more confident in my work, and with me learning even more ways to hook up LED gimmicks, LOOK OUT! More Mugg customs are on the way!

This is awesome! I love the use of the glow paints. I was thinking of trying to make her fusion suit.

Aww, it's so cute. I like all the extra detail you put in (with the light up cannon and glow in the dark paint) Most people probably wouldn't think of that.
