I dont mean to cut into this post. Its unintentional. But this next set of customs required I build something for it.
I have mentioned these in the past, but like stated in the previous post, I dont get make much time for 'playing'. If I did, you would probably have seen more pictures of these next customs than you have...er...havent.
I am not sure how many of you know this, but Lady Command of the Micropolis Embassy Group made the capes for the Palisades Toys Emperors. Shortly after the Magnos were released, I commissioned her to make some additional capes for me in various colors. They havent seen much play time, so I took down the red one for a few pictures. I have been looking for proper hooks/hangars for them and havent found anything yet. However now that I am doing casting, hooks/hangars for these Capes is now on the list.
I wished I had gotten a few more made. This is actually the first time this Red Cape has ever been put on a figure.
I didnt know what to do with these capes now that I had them. Keep them wrapped in a bag? So I took some welding wire. Wire, not rod. It comes in various widths about 2 maybe 3 feet long. And I bent some and soldered them together to make a Cape Rack
I have more detailed pics of it being made, but you get the idea. All the joints were filed/sanded and the entire rack primed and painted.
I think Im going to spend a bit more time playing. Some of these other capes have never been on a figure yet either.

Chromed "CYRUS"
I thought I would run this picture of Chromed Cyrus again. With some new readers, I suspect some of you haven't seen this picture yet.
For thos of you who havent seen Cyrus before, Cyrus is a custom figure inspired by Chromantron with 1 very big difference. ChromeAntron is a static or still figure. It cannot be posed because it was chromed OVER the rivets. If you attempt to pose it, you will flake the chrome.
Cyrus on the other hand was totally dismantled for chroming. Rivets were drilled out. After chroming, it was reassembled and riveted back together. It is fully articulate and pose-able. I currently have 8 Cyrus figures with only 1 chromed and 3 painted. Although, I am having 1 more chromed in the reverse of this current figure.
