On behalf of this joint project by One Sixth Republic and myself, monkeyboner, welcome to what is planned to be a weekly showcase for the wonderful and talented 1/6th scale figure customizers (apparently the word customizer isn’t recognized by the dictionary but we aim to make it legit!). Each week we will shine the spotlight on an artist or team of artists to find out more about their craft and to present their amazing work to the rest of the world. If you have any suggestions as to who to feature in the upcoming weeks, feel free to shoot me an email at arthurliam@gmail.com. |
GEEWHIZ CUSTOMS
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term Gee Whiz as ‘characterized by wide-eyed enthusiasm, excitement, and wonder’. Well, you’d be hard pressed to not share that sentiment when you see the work of GeeWhiz Customs headed by Bleau Aquino from Manila, Philippines. Their services include One Sixth Scale Tailoring, Diorama Building, and Commissioned 1/6 Figures. Bleau and his team recently won the top prize for his Super Mario entry for the Philippine One Sixth Kolektor’s Video Game Custom Figure Contest that was held at the Collecticon event in September, 2014. You can view that figure and more below.
