Custom Corner:
Brian Mills from "Taken"
By Mike Beckett

Mike brings us our first "Custom Corner" offering with his awesome take on Brian Mills from the film "Taken". Mike only has one rule when it comes to customs- Finish it in one night. Here's more from Mike on the custom-

In 2008, a little movie called 'Taken' (starring Liam Neeson) snuck up out of nowhere and gave us a good old-fashioned action movie, becoming a surprise hit. Back in the glory days, action movies meant action figures. So I crafted this custom to fill that void. The body is a Face Man figure from Jazzwares' A-Team figure line, and the head is the Hannibal from the same line (also played by Liam Neeson). A little paint, and Bob's yer mother's brother! I also chose to switch out the hands with some from a Han Solo figure I had laying around. A custom cardback rounds out the project. Are you telling me that if you found this at Target for $5 you wouldn't pick it up? I know I would. I'd do it twice.
