Coggs - that's a work of art. I'd pay good coin if you could build a custom Riggo shaking off Don McNeil for the greatest TD in Redskins history.

Riggo & McNeail would be sweet, I was thinking how cool one of the Fun Bunch would be

really nice work!

coggs · 08-27-2008, 10:59 PM

thank you gentlemen, glad you like it.

coggs · 10-12-2008, 04:42 PM

Not a redskin, but just finished this badboy. Didn't feel the need to start my own thread. In time, will probably be remembered as the biggest/best/most re-lived play in Giants history.

You forgot to make Donnie Warren coming off the TE spot and chopping down LT! JK.

I am a regular on customsbyjomo. Those guys there do a great job and have helped me a lot. It is actually the site I used to learn how to make these things.

There is a guy who goes by jamf, his site is bluechipcustoms.com. He is the best in my eyes.

Great job!

Actually I just dropped over $400 last week on a bunch of mcfarlanes (30+). But I'm looking for more Skins figures. There's some great ones on that SportsCustomsOnline site. Does he sell to the end user? What do they cost?

coggs · 09-23-2009, 02:13 PM

Those are all custom made. Cost for those varies depending on what you want done. A straight-repaint of a figure that requires minimal adjustments (sculpting, swap parts, cutting, etc) say taking a Peyton Manning and turning it into Jason Campbell can be anywhere from $40-$75 depending on the customizer. General rule, is you get what you pay for. I saw a guy post a Super Bowl XXV Otis Anderson. His number font was a little off, his name plate font was completely wrong, and I thought his sleeve stripes were a little too thick. When I mentioned it, the kid got all defensive and said, "Well, I only charged him $45 so for that money I think it is good." Me, I charge $65 for a repaint unless the person requests a specific figure as a base. Some are hard to find and more expensive, for example the Warren Sapp figure. It was from the original series about 8 years ago. They made a second of him in his Raiders uniform, but that was a short print. On Ebay, I have seen them run as high as $35 or more when you add shipping. I had a guy email me asking for Jacobs running over Landry last season. Took some figures, positioned them and figured out how it could be done. Since it had parts from different figures, and a decent amount of sculpting involved, I told him $200. He then said he did some research and thought that was too high, so I passed on the project. Another guy once emailed me for a straight re-paint of Joe Morris. Told him $65, he replied saying some other guy offered it to him for $50 and he thought his stuff was just as good as mine. I then responded saying he should go with the other guy.

What can also influence the customizer's price is his financial situation. Some of the people on spawn, jomo, and selling on ebay are hs or college kids. For them, it might be worth it to pay 10-15 for a figure and make the custom for $30 or even $40. That $15-25 profit might be worth all the time they put into it because that can buy them beer for a weekend. Me? I am a teacher, work after school center everyday, ref football, umpire baseball, teach saturday school, usually do summer school or a camp. So, for me to give up my free time to make a figure for someone, I am going to want a little more.

CrazyCanuck · 09-23-2009, 05:20 PM

Ok thanks, apprerciate the info.

Im loving that Sean Taylor sitting on the bench... will inquire.

mcarey032 · 09-23-2009, 06:33 PM

I can tell you that I have used Patrick SportsCustomsOnline.com for a lot of my customs and you can't go wrong. I will say that Coggs figures seem really great as well. 65 is probably the going rate for a quality custom. Patrick charges about 80 plus. It depends on what you want. 65 is a pretty good price for what kind of quality you are getting from Coggs. I will note though that patrick is a cowboys fan. If you can deal with that then you have no problems.

I can tell you that I did buy a substandard custom one time. I think that I ended up paying about 45 dollars, but the work was really poor in comparison to Patrick's and Coggs. You can go on Ebay and you will see the difference between ebay sellers and the customizers who take time and attention to detail.

Smooter · 10-12-2008, 04:44 PM

Looks like hes getting choke slammed.

53Fan · 10-12-2008, 10:11 PM

That's awesome coggs! And by the way, I'm glad you guys beat the Patsies!

coggs · 10-28-2008, 09:37 PM

Tyree did a signing today nearby. Brought the figure. When I put it on the table he looked at it and said, "WOW, now that is SWEET!" His reaction made the time worth it. His assistant took a few business cards as did an employee and a few customers.

That Guy · 10-29-2008, 07:20 AM

man, that catch looked so goofy. glad he liked it, i know you put a lot of work into these, and it shows.
