Custom figures, made by Lions from the forum, are for sale on Ebay:

Not my cup of tea, I'm not into custom made figures, but definitely an interesting and unique collection. The only problem for a potential buyer might be the US $3,500.00 starting price and US $4,200.00 'buy it now' price.

I love Lion's figures, but that price is redunk-ulous!!!! For 5 Gs, you can get EVERY WARRIORS figure ever made(including all the rare ones), every costume replica SATANS MOTHER made and all the comics made. 52 items in all compared to just 20 custom figures. Don't get me wrong, I am sure A LOT of time and effort went in to those. Half the price (about $2,000-$2,500) is a better price I think. About $120-$125 a per custom figure. There is a guy who does custom action figures for $125.00 based off a picture. You could give him a flick of each gang member you want and get all the guys he is offering for half the cost and they are 12 inch figures. You might have to dress them, but making clothes for figures compared to life size, is easy. If I had the money, that's the route I would go if I wanted customs. Below is the guy I was talking about with the custom 12 inch.

Lier1, thanks for the link. That link gave me an idea; is anyone from the forum interested in having action figures of the Warriors gang members that haven't been done by Mezco?
We could see how many of us are up for it, and find someone to make them, together with package, etc. That would be an official product (we could put the writing on the back of the box saying something like 'made for the members of the Warriors forum', limited edition 1 of ???), the collectors value of those figures would be really high, not to mention they would be really unique. We would make them only for us, not for resale. Of course, it would all depend on the price.
Anyway, if someone's interested, let me know.

That self custom figure in the first picture looks like Tom Green from Freddy got fingered.
Having all the warriors as custom figures from that company isn't a bad idea, but it is an expensive one. By the time you've added extra for afro hair and custom clothing; you're talking $200 + postage.
Maybe look into getting the missing gang members heads scupted the same size as series 2 so they can placed on the interchangable bodies of your duplicate figures. Use the jeans from Orphan leader to use on a custom vermin or fox.

Yeah, $200 per figure is definitely too much, at least for my pocket. This idea with interchangeable heads is not bad at all, making those heads only shouldn't cost much.

They are the same figures shown on the bottom of the 'Action Figures' page from the main Warriorsmovie site:

He might not be the seller, but those are his figures.
