This King Hippo custom by fugazi is a knockout
by Brian Szabelski on 09/24/2009 0 comments

Figure customizer fugazi shows off one of the most impressive customized figures I've seen that wasn't done by Jin Saotome: a custom King Hippo from Punch-Out! The base figure is one of Jakks Pacific's WWE figures, specifically earthquake, with a bit of extra bulk added on. Hippo's heads are ones resculpted by hand, and his crown is actually part of a krazy glue tube. Of course, if fugazi hadn't put that information in his notes, I never would have been able to even guess it because of the great detailed sculpting he's done.

As it turns out, King Hippo is but one of fugazi's many custom figures and is part of a series of Punch-Out! figures he's been making. Head on over to The Fwoosh to check out his custom figure thread. Let us know if you find a favorite amongst them all!
