Real X Head Inspires

Real X Head, one of the most forward thinking Japanese Vinyl companies out there, always inspires me here at the workshop. During the trip to Japan last September I personally got to meet Mori , the man behind RXH, and spent an evening talking toys and work (huge thanks again to Don "Datadub" Kratzer). Mori is a one man super machine, absolutely dedicated to his business and family. It's pretty incredible when you look at what he has accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. He was also insanely generous, piling his figures on us as gifts and allowing us access to his then unseen designs. Just an impressive person. Which leads to this entry. I have become slightly obsessed with his mini figures. Something about the proportions and feel just seem right to me. I love the big boys, but those damn minis make me crazy. So I had to cut up my favorite one, mini Hone Borg, and make an endoskeleton for him. Being that I'm a long time customizer it just always sorta happens that I end up doing this kind of thing. Now that I have access to piles of junky Glyos parts I can make some strange inner mechanics to suit up. This figure was created by carefully cutting the original mini Hone Borg on the seams and then building a basic endoskeleton out of Glyos parts. Half of a quarter muncher bubble was also used to keeps that big head sturdy. The figure can now move quite a bit, is very playable, stays together... and may even breakdance. It is with the highest level of respect to Mori and his amazing creations that I post this little custom here on the blog.
