Customized Pacific Rim Toys Repainted With Details and Working Lights

Customized Leatherback toy with LED's and detailed paint

"I make custom toys, and try not to suck." -- Sabretooth Workshop

Sabretooth Workshop takes great toys and makes them greater. If he only added LED lights it would be amazing, but he recolors the toys with an airbrush and other detailed techniques to make these one-of-a-kind pieces of art collectibles.

Read his description of his amazing Leatherback kaiju:

There is an led located in the head with an easy on off switch located in-between his shoulders on his back.The batteries are inside the figure and are replaceable. This figure has a custom one of a kind paint job that I tried to get as close to the movie as possible, I used tamiya acrylics and other quality paints on this and I sealed it many times to reduce any chances of paint wear or chipping.

Recently he just did some incredible work on Gipsy Danger. See the progression below, click on any pic to see a larger view.

The toy starts in the box

First the toy is repainted and airbrushed

Additional paint details like weathering wear and tear are added.

LED lights and wiring are installed.

Sabretooth Workshop's Gipsy Danger is available on ebay.

Unfortunately these plush Pacific rim inspirations are not for sale. They will be auctioned off  at the donation site Desert Bus. Auctions starts at 7:30 PM PST tonight (November 16th 2013).

Desert Bus is actually a mini-game from the never-released Sega CD game Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors. Challenging the player to drive a listing, unreliable, virtual bus on an endless, eight-hour-long strip of highway between Tucson, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada, it is widely regarded to be the worst video game ever made.

We play it for as long as donations come in. In order to keep things interesting for our viewers we have live and silent auctions, giveaways and contests, celebrity guests and a lot of silliness.

You can get all the creative details at Anna The Red's Website where she descripbes how she cam up with the idea and why she donated it to desert Bus.

She has a lot more photos with incredible details. The giant boat actually attaches to Gipsy Danger's hand with a snap!
