I totally suck at keeping secrets! Oh well, here goes............
Introducing the #15 Sunshine Micro Action Figures both entered in the custom contest and at least one will be donated to the Muscle Con as a prize (Johnny already has a special colored Claw and a special colored SC I donated) and the other I assume Johnny will snag his favorite! He! He!
The Black Universe Sunshine was molded, cast in transparent black with universe colored glitter, articulated at the head (micro AF), then the 2 sunshine symbols were hand painted.
The Gold Sunshine was molded, cast in gold metallic, articulated at the head (micro AF), then the 2 sunshine symbols were hand painted.
Now Johnny don't go pullin' the head off trying to figure out the articulation, it is a ball joint assembly.
Here are the photos:

I did and thats why it got updated for NO EXTENTION. Yup, I would too but seeing those picks antimotivates me. Plus that gold one rocks. Sorry the space age one just isnt me, molds cool, just not my style... needs to be silver glitter, glowing red or green or yella (its sunshine after all)

Well, it's not exactly a slam-dunk. Remember that one of the major decision criteria is articulation, and these figures are somewhat limited in that aspect. I think that they are effing awesome figures, but just remember that looks are just a part of the equation. I wouldn't let this discourage you... everyone has a chance of winning.Yup, I would too but seeing those picks antimotivates me.
Anyway, great job, Godbeast!

Ya, I sacraficed some articulation going for a cool and substantial character, made 100% from scratch, with a lot of chemistry, materials, and technique.
Since Johnny's areas of competition are:
1. Originality
2. Paint Job/Coloring
3. Quality of Assembly
4. Articulation
5. Kewlness!
"Originality",
I figured the whole process of mold making, incorporation of metallic, glitter, and dye into the actual plastic and casting my own custom is pretty original.
"Paint and Coloring"
The metallic gold (cast into the plastic), glitter (cast into the plastic), black dye (cast into the plastic), not to mention the paint job on the sunshine symbols and the silver paint rubbed into the brick cracks on the Sunshine Universe figure should more than cover these areas.
"Quality of assembly" or "craftsmanship" should speak for itself not just the paint job, but the molding process, the casting process, micro AF process, and of course just the plain "finished look" to it.
"Articulation" I look at it this way (I am sure Johnny and the other intelligent judges will take into consideration), there is a huge difference in the level of difficulty taking already articulated action figures, doing a little kitbashing, and a paint job on them. As far as articulation goes, I would hope they will take into consideration that actually creating articulation from something not articulate (even though it is only one articulation point with my Sunshines) is more difficult than something that was already manufactured articulate and painting it. Not to mention if someone paints on top of an articulated joint and then someone moves it to pose it, the paint usually chips or flakes off, that should actually count off some on quality/craftsmanship and articulation (because it is not truly articulate if you cannot move it due to worrying if the paint may chip or flake off).
As far as "kewlness," that my friends is in the eyes of the judges. That alone is probably the tuffest area of judging. It is totally a subjective criteria.
I hope I have not come off as an arrogant artist, but, I felt the need to defend my Sunshines (based on their one point of articulation).
Not that I thought you were on my Nathan, I just felt like explanning my work for everyone.
By the way, whoever ends up owning these will be super lucky! The photos are cool, however, photos never due anything justice! I almost didn't enter the contest, because I didn't want to part with them! They are totally my new favorites. In fact, #15 has always been my favorite! He is so substantial!

The Sunshine figure has tons of articulation. If anyone has ever played with or checked out a Stickfa their great. The only real problem I had was with the paint. The Terry figure was easier after I got used to using the paint.
I'm in the porcess of another Ultimate Muscle mod. This time it's gonna be Ned Flanders from the Simpsons Burger King Premuim(Sunshine in streaker overcoat) and Milhouse Burger King Premium(as Meat)
I know I'll miss the cutoff date for the 2 Simpson mods. Luckily I was in the process of making my first UM mod when Johnny popped this custom contest. Thanks to Ray(rocknwrestling) for the inspiration and ideas for Sunshine.
By the way the "Immortal Gods" are the janitors for the MUSCLE League
