i give props to the customizers who made those figures in this article espically since they all look like they got turned into little modulocks with the two head and body things.
If you're anywhere near Beacon, NY this weekend, you can't do much better than attending the art show listed above, a "toy custom show focused on elevating the traditional action figure form."
What does that mean? Picture = thousand words.
Because we like Clutter Magazine, we'll stop there and send you to their website to see the rest, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Tortoises, Masters of the Bootleg, H.U.S.T.L.E., Baby Dead Beet (a zombie beetroot!) and more. Should you actually be able to visit in person, say howdy on their Facebook event page to let 'em know.
Hell, your odds of seeing an actual topless robot will probably increase exponentially.

@EvilMonkeyPope It's really only one step away from "Action figures aren't just for kids anymore!"

Am I the only one disappointed that Doomdok is not a recombining Doombot by way of Modulok? Take THAT, Richards.

Wow, I don't know how I feel about this.
I've been amused by the stuff the Sucklord has done, but for many of these, the irony or "elevation" fails me. The picture here and of the not-TMNT figures wouldn't look out of place in Big Lots or your local dollar/surplus store.
I mean it was funny when I found "FranzTromers" in a surplus store, but I wasn't even willing to blow a couple of bucks on them, much less put them in a gallery or call them Art.
And please? Kesh-E-Face? What a missed opportunity! Pack it with a tiny bottle of liquor, call it Ke$h-A-Face, and you have Art, a genuinely frightening figure, and another member for the Booziest Action Figures list.
The Baby Dead Beats are cool, though.
Yeah. I like the Masters of the Universe ones on an absurb bootleg level. The TMNT ones are stupid lumps of crap (is that the point?) The HUSTLE ones are so-so, since vintage MUSCLE was never action figures. I'm missing the joke on the Beets one.

@gagagalvatron At first glance, I thought this was a whole show devoted to cheap knock-offs.

Who are the 'we' you always seem to be talking about Luke?
Seriously it looks kinda cool. Someone tell me how it goes.

@Someguy I assume the first of his VVM issue clones are now being decanted and since he isn't doing FFF, which tends to limit their numbers through attrition, he has had to find something productive to do with them. Aside from chucking them out high windows to terrify the mundane folk below.
