What he meant was that someone took apart some 'figs and remade them (this is
called a custom minifig), not that someone moulded their own pieces.
Personally, I think it is probably a custom 'fig using Dark Forest parts. The
two things we need to know are:
- Color of the arms
- Whether the collar looks like a gear (notched) or if it is spiked.
