Blue Iron Action Figure

Hey kids,

Recently I had a client ask for an action figure for her son for his 9th birthday.  She said he was really into the Avengers®, especially Iron Man® and Captain America®.  He had thought of the name Blue Iron, and that he would have a shield and the colors of Captain America® and some of the armor and the mask of Iron Man®.  Given these parameters, I set about creating an action figure for him to play with.  Being me, I wanted to give the client a piece that looked like she purchased it at the store, but still have it be custom to him.

So here we have a picture of him (hi, Carson!) next to the finished toy.

Next I set about creating the packaging.  I also made a unique base that had the character's name on it.  Here is an image of the finished packaging:

The only piece that I didn't make was the blister pack, which I took from a toy with similar dimensions.  The back image is pretty crappy, so here are the actual photoshop files so you can read all the info.  Click on the image to see a larger version.

 

All the artwork is original except for the three warning labels at the bottom of the back and the Young Avengers® logo.

To sweeten the deal, I also created a wall poster (24"x36") that had Carson's likeness and his new superhero alter-ego on it.  Here is that:

 

All-in-all, not a bad 9th birthday present.

Custom Action Figure, Packaging and Poster: $200.

Considering it had original art and you had to print the package and all, $200 is fair and pretty reasonable. I like it.
