I've been on a customizing kick lately so I'm setting up a thread just for my customs. This thread will be any customs I do going forward. I mostly do candy toys that are toku related anyways, but other things will pop up now and again. Today's post will be a huge catch up post of everything I've done recently in the order I did them.
List of customs in this post:
1) YU-DO Super Patren 1 (repost from the SO-DO thread)
2) SO-DO Blade Raider Version 3 upgrade
3) SO-DO Kamen Rider Brave half Dai upgrade
4) SO-DO Kamen Rider Aki/Thief proper post and repairs
5) YU-DO Lupin Tux
6) SO-DO Kamen Rider Grenadier/Destro
1) YU-DO Super Patren 1:
(repost from the SO-DO thread)
Finished up making a custom Super Patren 1. I've kept an extra Patren 1 for years because I figured one day I'd get a Super Lupin X and make this. This figure has a total of 1 sticker, the badge on the helmet. Head, arms, and legs are from Patren 1 and torso is Super Lupin X.
Outside painting the Lupin X parts into Patren 1 colors, I also had to paint all the black, orange, and a bulk of the gold. Even did a quick bit of silver to make those parts a bit more shiny.
Here he is with the other 2 Patrangers.
(I really need to fix the other 2, especially Patren 2)
While I was at it, I did some touch ups on my normal Patren 1. Mainly added a flat coat over all the red I had painted because it was really glossy.
Doesn't show up on camera super well, so I took a close up of a Gangler's hand I painted with the same paint right next to Patren 1's shoulder that I've added the flat coat to.
And one last picture of all the Patrangers together.

2) SO-DO Blade Raider Version 3 upgrade:
This is my hero custom I use in my comic And Then They Fight/TAOWAR that can be found here:
https://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=18349
I believe I showed off the v2 in detail on page 19, but I've been using the figure for a long time.
There was a v2.5 where all I did was add a flat coat to everything. I felt that wasn't enough to be a full version. What makes this the v3 is the new torso has a waist joint.
The new torso is from a Dai SO-DO Brave. There are some minor paint differences this time. I left the armpit area black for a bit of that under suit feel. I also added a blue stripe to the back. Last picture shows what got replaced.

3) SO-DO Kamen Rider Brave half Dai upgrade:
I had most of a Dai SO-DO leftover from the Blade upgrade, so I put all the remaining parts on a normal SO-DO Brave torso. Adds wrists joints, painted thigh backs/ swords/silver. I added the white, yellow, some silver, and fully painted the hands, anything that was still missing. The older Brave I kept on display now gets to wear Taddle Fantasy full time.

4) SO-DO Kamen Rider Aki/Thief proper post and repairs:
This is another hero custom I've used in my comic And Then They Fight/TAOWAR that can be found here:
https://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=18349
Aki/Thief is a recent one, I believe her first appearance is on page 20.
I've never properly posted this figure anywhere, so now seems like a good time. Aki/Thief are both names for the character and I've yet to properly name the Rider in the comic. Due to story reasons, Blade's powers are base on her powers, so I wanted a similar aesthetic. Hence the overall Ex-Aid look with Zi-O style arms.
One minor update that I've done since her first appearance is give her sword a better handle from Bravo. When not transformed, Thief has to still be able to hold the sword and that helps greatly.
Thief has an ability that creates problems with SO-DO. She can clap her hands and Release weapons from her Armory. Problem is that most of her weapons are not SO-DO compatible. So I modded some old Microman hands. The first pair are hands for clapping. Not the best, but add the sound effect and good enough. The others are gripping hands with her most used hook sword weapons. Also a minor during the repairs was giving her a tilted hand from Valkyrie.
Parts:
Head, shoulder pads- Brave
Arms- Geiz
Hands- Phantom Build, Valkyrie Lightning Hornet, Microman
Torso, legs, skirt- Poppy
Feet- Valkyrie Lightning Hornet
Cape- Cobra Commander v34
Sword- Agito's Flame Saber from the Zi-O accessory set
Sword handle- Bravo's swords from the Gaim accessory set
As for the repairs, the original figure had tolerance issues that by the time I was ready to use the figure, the shoulder and hip joints were a floppy mess while other joints were to tight. I replaced the problem areas and this is working much better.

5) YU-DO Lupin Tux
Meet Lupin Tux! The mysterious phantom thief nobody is talking about because he does nothing.
After making Super Patren 1, these were the parts I had leftover. I figured since the helm is a top hat, I'd aim for black and make a tuxedo. This ended up being loosely based on Tuxedo Mask.
I don't have a red cape at the moment, but I have 2 black cape options, a shorter cape that I think matches and looks better and a Kenner Batman cape when I just need it to be longer. His VS Changer is an all black version Ugo's with GoodStriker attached, who would probably be his mecha anyways.
Lupin Tux with the other Lupinrangers and the group shot of my Super Sentai/Power Rangers customs. I think I accidentally made a Strongest Battles team and I kind of love it.
(From left to right: Shinken Red Princess, Lupin Tux, Gokai Red Zenkai Mode, Shinken Brown, and Super Patren 1)
Now you might be asking "Did you make a Lupinranger based on the Tuxedo Mask meme?" and the answer is...
Maybe?...
...Okay, yes, I did. No regrets!

6) SO-DO Kamen Rider Grenadier/Destro
And finally for today's post: Kamen Rider Grenadier/Destro. I keep flipping on the name, one's cool and one's simple. Either way, this is Destro from GI Joe with Kamen Rider powers.
Parts:
Helmet- Grease Perfect Kingdom
Torso- Build Phoenix and Vacuum
Arms/Legs- Phantom Build
Hands- Humagear/Trilobite Magia
Right shoulder pad/cape- Espada Golden Alangina
Left shoulder pad- Build Phoenix
Weapon- Lord of Wise
I've had this on the back burner for nearly a year and getting the rapier with Lord of Wise was the last push I needed. The red was was also my test for the new Gundam paints I recently got. It went mostly okay and I like the resulting shade of red.
Of course, I based this off of the Iron Grenadier Destro design (who I just painted the eyes of while doing this). I made the gloves silver based on Destro's original design most just for a bit more color. I figure the exhausts on the gloves give him a thruster punch.
But what about Trashbag Destro?!

And that's it for now! Hope you all enjoyed.
