Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse (9/28/10)

Buzz Saw Bikes (BSBs)

So I keep coming up with countless ideas for more Buzz Saw Bikes. These vehicles have become an integral part of this series and have evolved into a culture.


The first three Buzz Saw Bikes (Sligs', Kurg's, and Rhiguth's) are nearing completion. Rhiguth's is looking more kickass everyday. Soon, Rhiguth's BSB will sport foot rest spikes.

[battlewagon]

The Buzz Saw King's Buzz Saw Bike

The Buzz Saw King was an ancient warrior before the time of the post apocalyptic hero Ryuzo and his arch enemy Vorne. He was defeated by the legendary Ryuji but has now been brought back to life by the sorcerer powers of Vorne!

The Buzz Saw King's Buzz Saw Bike is the first Buzz Saw Bike ever and the most powerful. It is three times larger than standard BSBs and is the only BSB wielding two buzz saw wheels.

[battlewagon]

SKit & Zit
Skit & Zit are known as The Klutz Brothers. They are Abuji's grandkids. They may not be as strong as they think they are but this duo is ultra talented, humorous and brave!


Twit
Twit is Skit and Zit's battle bike. The brothers treat their bike almost as a sibling. Zit came up with the idea to link a garbage can to a dirtbike and Skit made the idea reality.


Post Apocalyptic Weapons/Tools

This is kind of off-topic but if I become a Hollywood movie director, I will specialize in post apocalyptic movies because it's a genre that I love to death and I feel 100% at home with it.

Feenee Wiggy's Shopcart Cycle (WIP)

This is my new favorite custom (along with Project TW) and the cutest custom to date. The inspiration for Feenee Wiggy is due to several factors. I wanted to create a cute midget character and I wanted his vehicle to mirror his cuteness. His name was partially taken from a high school physics teacher, Mr. Feeney (a classmate and I nicknamed him Candyman because he loved candy, lol). Finally, when I saw a Star Wars Ewok head in Spectre's trade thread, I knew instantly that was Feenee Wiggy.

It's fun to create unique, original, silly, and crazy looking vehicles. In a post apocalyptic world, it's possible and acceptable. In coming up with Feenee Wiggy's Shopcart Cycle, I wanted a motorcycle with a new type of sidecar. Something that hasn't been seen before. Something similar to the Chasers/Motorcyle-Sidecar Chariots from Marauders II Slaughterauders. It took more than a month to finalize the look of Feenee Wiggy's Shopcart Cycle. The only thing remaining is a new paintjob. I no longer consider myself a one-man-army so I want another creative mind to come up with a paintjob for this vehicle. As a creative artist, I know where my talent lies and I know for sure that vehicle paintjobs for the most part is not my thing.

[battlewagon]

[battlewagon]

Unnamed Motorcycle WIP. Spikes are wooden tooth picks. Unused of course, lol.


Denizens of the Post Apocalypse WIPs. Thought it would be interesting to use Jurassic Park Brachiosaurus heads. Good thing no one took an interest in them (I had posted these in my trade thread for months).


Ryuzo & Feenee Wiggy. It's interesting how a simple picture can spark an idea. Looking at Feenee Wiggy wielding a gun inspired a scene where Feenee blasts a goon. Yes, a powerful Midgetian, that's a first one for the books, lol.

[battlewagon]

Hauler WIP

I got the trailer at a flea market because I thought it would make an excellent post apocalyptic vehicle accessory. I wanted an unconventional looking tow vehicle. The idea of using the GI JOE Flightpod suddenly occurred. With some spare wheel axles, this baby was completed.


Still have to add a foot rest, new paintjob, seatbelt, side mirrors, and possibly more trimming.

[battlewagon]

Sligs' Buzz Saw Bike (BSB) WIP

Sligs' BSB is almost complete. The most important upgrade is a new paintjob. I can't finalize that till I have a final rendition of Sligs himself so that his colors compliment those of his BSB.


Added 2 exhaust pipes and changed the rear engine. Thought it would be characteristic of Sligs' sly nature to have 1 surprise exhaust pipe that squirts oil thus, causing his enemies' vehicles to spin out of control. What can be said, Sligs' is a sly guy.


Sligs' BSB's center wheel keeps his BSB balanced if he chooses to launch his buzz saw wheel.

[battlewagon]

Kurg's Buzz Saw Bike (BSB) WIP

I thought it would be pretty cool if all 3 members of the Spikerkrot gang (Rhiguth, Kurg, and Sligs) could launch their buzz saw wheels. Consequently, if the buzz saw wheel is deployed, then each BSB requires a center wheel to maintain the balance of the entire vehicle.


In addition, I wanted each member of the Spikerkrot gang to have a specific Buzz Saw Bike attack. Kurg's BSB attack involves him doing a wheelie while his buzz saw wheel spins wildly!

[battlewagon]

Rhiguth's Buzz Saw Bike (BSB) WIP

This custom is a little dangerous because it has real nails rooted beside the foot rests.


Rhiguth can store his knife on one side of his BSB's wheel.


Rhiguth can store his gun in the back of his BSB.


Rhiguth WIP

Rhiguth was inspired by Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In battle, Rhiguth wields a gun and knife, both of which are stored in his BSB. Would like to add some flame decals to Rhiguth's gun.


Rhiguth's Quadrogun WIP

Rhiguth's BSB has detachable exhaust pipes that can attach to his standard gun. Immediately, his firepower is quadrupled! However, the sheer size and weight of Rhiguth's Quadrogun forces him to hold it with both hands and doesn't permit him to run with it.

When it's kamikaze time or as Squash likes to call it, "Squashikaze Time", Squash burns the sidecar's wheels. The rubberless rims generate sparks, which ultimately ignite the wick fuse extending from the back of the bomb. Of course, Squash is smart enough to bail out before impact.

TERMINOLOGY OF RYUZO HERO OF THE POST APOCALYPSE

Midjas - Midgetian Ninjas

Midgeebaby - Midgetian baby

[battlewagon]

Here is Project TW or as I prefer to call it, Tank Wheelchair:

I had this idea for a wheelchair that instead of wheels would have tank treads. Surprisingly, the idea already exists. A guy constructed a tank wheelchair for his wife. Very cool story!


One day, as I was heading back home, I saw a unique couple. The boyfriend was wheelchair bound. His girlfriend rode in the back standing up. They were coming in the opposite direction at a relatively high speed. I just thought it was awesome and I loved especially the idea of his girlfriend riding behind him. It instantly became an idea. How about a male character who's wheelchair bound and his girlfriend (who's super hot!) rides behind him in his tank wheelchair?


Here you see Feenee Wiggy and a denizen of the Post Apocalypse but they are only for demo purposes. The wheelchair bound character's girlfriend will wear provocative attire and wield a machine gun. There will be a protective bar(s) to prevent her from falling off. The stumps below the handlebars will be outfitted with rotating guns (just gotta find the right size).


Here is the real Tank Wheelchair. Pretty cool, eh?


I would also like to do a wheelchair with monster truck wheels. But this is it for now.

[battlewagon]

As a customizer, I've come to appreciate the tiniest of pieces. I love to go to 99 cent stores because you can find treasures for incredibly low prices. The other day, I found these for less than $10 total. They are indeed treasures and will amazingly contribute to my post apocalypse customs. Let me show you.



This motorcycle may look like nothing more than a cheap knock off and one might be turned off by the price of $1. For me however, I see many possibilities such as: The rubber from the wheels can be cut in half; the halves used as makeshift arc-shaped bumpers for vehicles. The rims can double as makeshift fences. The wheels can double as makeshift hand shields.


The windshield will make an excellent Buzz Saw Bike windshield!



Here's a tractor that cost $2. Smaller than the palm of your hand. Rubber wheels. For $2 you might say, "No thanks, I'll pass." I however, find it quintessentially useful.


I'm obsessed with creating variations of Buzz Saw Bikes. The tractor's rear wheels will make excellent rear wheels for a future Buzz Saw Bike!


Lastly, here's a cute 6-wheeler called the Gator. Fits in the palm of your hand.


6 rubber wheels and they all roll. Even the flatbed raises up! You might say, "It's useless to me." I've found myself in dozens of similar scenarios where I take certain toys for granted, glance at them, and say, "Junk." Fast-forward weeks/months and I'm smacking myself for not buying them at BARGAIN PRICES! This little Gator will make a perfect Midgetian vehicle.


The next time you stumble upon 99 cent toys like the ones above, ask yourself this: "It's only $1. My gut tells me that this may be useful. I probably won't see it ever again. Or I probably will see it again but definitely not for this amazing price. Should I buy it? Hmmm, it's only $1. I'll pick one up just in case."

[battlewagon]

Vorne WIP

Vorne is the main villain in Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse. He is terrifying and extremely powerful. He possesses sorcerer powers which he uses to resurrect fearsome mighty warriors to do his bidding (among other things). This is a work in progress but one thing is for certain: Vorne's head/face will look like this and he has vicious claws for hands.


Six Wheels of Doom would be the title for an episode featuring this vehicle:


This 6-wheeler is from Soldier Force. It's not my favorite of designs but it serves its purpose and it screams to me, "Post Apocalypse!" Heck, I might even call it Six Wheels of Doom.

[battlewagon]

SLIZARDS

The Jurassic Park Tanystropheus/Chaos Effect Tanaconda head/neck and tail will be used for Slizar the Slizard King.


This Chap Mei dinosaur's head/neck will be used for Kluster.


Sligs and Waze will be based on the head/neck/arms of Jurassic Park Coelophysis.

[battlewagon]

Big Jiggy (a.k.a. BJ), Twosome (two-headed goon), Trug and Arg (Vorne's personal bodyguards), and BBQ (Big Bertha Queen) will be based on the 3 3/4" Hulk.

Ryuzo (title character) will be based on a GI JOE 3 3/4" figure. Ryuzo's head will come from a Jakks 3 3/4" wrestler. A custom wig will be added.



Vandar is a futuristic cop. He's like Ryuzo in that both are heroes of the Post Apocalypse. However, Vandar detaches himself from society. He's been hurt one too many times by false and two face comrades. Vandar is a lone wolf. But he unhesitatingly risks his life to save innocent life forms. He's the only honest cop in Post Apocalypse Earth. Vandar's Buzz Saw Bike is the coolest and sleekest of all Buzz Saw Bikes.

Vandar's head/mask/visor will most likely be based on this figure from Imagination Adventure Series. Guess those figures were not so bad after all.

[battlewagon]

Denizens of the Post Apocalypse

Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse is coming along surprisingly fast. Characters and vehicles are equally easy to come up with. The same cannot be said for the Marauders Trilogy. It's much harder to come with characters than vehicles.

This denizen wears a spiked helmet and carries a sword/sheath clipped to his waist.
P.S. I'm gonna have to save all my photobucket and imageshack pictures onto my external hard drive because both websites are malfunctioning. The picture you see below was uploaded into photobucket but the html code doesn't work here. So I uploaded the picture into imageshack and that did work. If you guys/gals have accounts with the above websites, you might want to backup your files.

Denizen Vehicles (WIPs)

This motorcycle was made by Boley. Everything about it is perfect except for the handlebars and front gun. They were too flimsy. So I replaced them. 3 3/4" figures don't fit satisfyingly enough so there's still more work to do. Will also add makeshift foot rests (using paper clip bits). The most exciting upgrade will be the paintjob. ;D


New handlebars.


Tank Wheelchair

Added a battering ram. Now it looks more satisfying. This custom I am most excited and anxious to complete. I can't wait to roll the treads.

Merchandise Cart

There will be two variations to this cart.
1) Cart itself is drivable by driver
2) Cart(s) has to be towed by additional vehicle.


Hooks for hanging merchandise.


So thankful to Chap Mei for making a 1:18 scale lock. A little customizing enabled the lock to actually open and tuck inside just like a real lock! Now all it needs is a key.


Opening doors.

Post Apocalypse Weapons (WIPs)

Coming up with these is fun. Today I came up with another one but it's kind of offensive but extremely hilarious. ;D ;D ;D


Tank Turret (WIP)
This turret would sit at the entrance of a goon base. It would turn 360 degrees and the hatch opens to fit one goon.

Future Buzz Saw Bikes (BSBs) (WIPs)

By Summer 2011, expect to see tons of new Buzz Saw Bikes!

Note: Sligs, Kurg, and Rhiguth's Buzz Saw Bikes were used to illustrate the following ideas.

GrrGrr's Buzz Saw Bike

GrrGrr is an overgrown sabretooth tiger. Everything about him is big so it's no surprise that his BSB reflects his bigness. GrrGrr's BSB has a huge spoiler and 2 chunky rear wheels.


Wakyushi's Buzz Saw Bike

Wakyushi's BSB has twin sword sheaths in the back. Wakyushi after all is a samurai wannabe. Wakyushi can also remove the twin sheaths and strap them to his own back.


Drighul's Buzz Saw Bike

Drighul's BSB is twice as large as normal BSBs. When his brother Vorne resurrected the legendary Buzz Saw King, Drighul personally requested that The Buzz Saw King empower Drighul's Buzz Saw Bike. Since then, Drighul's BSB now wields two additional buzz saws that flip out with the touch of a button!


Vandar's Buzz Saw Bike: Valus

Vandar's BSB is the coolest of all BSBs. Since Vandar is a cop, his BSB has police sirens.

Vandar's BSB a.k.a. Valus has twin rocket packs that flip out in battle mode.

Life is full of surprises, both good and bad. Here is one such example:

I am in the process of finalizing a GI JOE Battle Wagon YouTube review. I wanted a scene where the Battle Wagon rams into 2 GI JOE ROC Steel Crusher APVs. Kmart had exactly 2 APVs on clearance for $11 each. I eagerly marched to Kmart but when I got there, the APVs were gone. It was my fault because I had seen them more than a week ago and I passed on them! :'(

I continued searching the toy aisles and the toy clearance section. And then it happened. My fingers stumbled upon a rhinoceros toy, smaller than the palm of my hand. Instantly and I mean within a microsecond, my gut told me, "Alan, that's Rhiguth's head!!!"

The only problem was that the rhinoceros toy belonged to a set of toys, which was nowhere to be found. A sales associate directed me to customer service. Thankfully, Kmart let me purchase the rhinoceros for 50 cents. Although I still regret not having picked up the GI JOE APVs, I found the perfect head for Rhiguth! Btw, Rhiguth is a character in Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse; he is the leader of Spikerkrot.

This is the DEFINITIVE head for Rhiguth! It's the perfect size, shape, and design! ;D

Uploaded with ImageShack.us.

Rhiguth will be based on a GI JOE 3 3/4" figure with new hands, mace shoulder pads, and real pants. Notice the blue tape around Rhiguth's waist? The tape holds Rhiguth in place. Without the tape, Rhiguth hovers a few millimeters above his seat. Thus, Rhiguth's BSB will require seatbelt(s) to hold him in place.

Rhiguth and Sligs are gradually developing. I still need to find a hyena head for Kurg. After all, Kurg is from the species, hyenard. Gotta find me a bag of toy animals at the local zoo.

Scene: With his Quadrogun, Rhiguth easily blasts Ryuzo through a wall!


By the way, this is how the rhinoceros from Kmart looked like before he got decapitated, lol.

Dirgundy's Chocolate Syrup Squirt Gun

The Midgetians participate in the penultimate battle against Vorne. Feenee Wiggy summons all Midgetians to help Team Ryuzo stop Vorne once and for all and to free the Midgetian child laborers that were forced to work for Vorne.

Dirgundy is one of the many Midgetians that participate in the Midgetian Child Laborer Rescue Mission. Dirgundy's weapon of choice is a gun that squirts chocolate syrup from a jerry can backpack.

Note: Feenee Wiggy (WIP) is used to illustrate how the Chocolate Syrup Squirt Gun works.

Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse is a stop motion animated series for children and adults. Midgetians are the equivalent of Ewoks, Nelwyns, Hobbits, and Care Bears. They are midget-sized creatures that are as cute as hamsters, super ultra cuddly, and they come in all sorts of colors. Thus, the weapons/vehicles used by Midgetians (in the penultimate battle against Vorne) are not designed to injure; simply to stun and thwart. For example, Dirgundy's Chocolate Syrup Squirt Gun blinds goons for mere seconds or causes their vehicles to malfunction, slip and tumble.

After Dirgundy squirts goons with chocolate syrup, Jum Jum (also a Midgetian) chases the goons so he can lick off the delicious chocolate syrup. After all, Jum Jum loves candy and has an insatiable appetite.

Post Apocalypse Weapon: Triceratops Shield

This is why I never underestimate bootleg toys. Because you just never know when you might need something. I had several of these Chap Mei KO baby triceratops for almost 3 years.



This past summer, I had a wonderful idea on how to use this toy for a post apocalypse weapon ---> as a shield for a villain! This villain would face off against Ryuzo in a particular episode. The Triceratops Shield is a Work In Progress. Requires a new paintjob and a proper shield handle.

Denizens of the Post Apocalypse

What I love about Ryuzo Hero of the Post Apocalypse is the diversity of its denizens. I suppose that is one of the reasons why coming up with characters (for this particular series) is so easy. It makes my job a whole lot easier and this story is developing at an alarmingly fast pace!

Note: These are all Works In Progress. They will be more than just random heads slapped onto 1:18 bodies.
