Leo!

I know, wrong guy, but I wanted to show off the articulation

I left the cape opened up for easy removal

I got this recipe from Fritzkrieg over at Cool Toy Review, who I believe is a member here too. I just took mine a couple of steps further by sculpting onto the helmet to be accurate, and I made the sword.

Parts:
Head: Magneto
Body: Namor
Cape: General Grievous

Damn, I was trying not to make one, since I couldn't fit him in my 'verse, but after seeing this masterpiece, I'm gonna give it a try.

Really great work - looks perfect!

My wife and I work for an international company. She's a rep for the Caribbean, and I work in 6 Sigma.

That's cool as hell. I've been collecting Namor figures for the same purpose. I'm going to shrink the 6" stuff for mine.

Very cool...Shame i've not seen Namor for less than $8 a pop....otherwise I'd prolly have a number of him to try this on...

I'm not sure you've got the helmet quite right...the profile looks great...but head on the top of the helmet looks a little too wide...he kinda looks dickheaded.

Only other thing I'd think about doing is make the shin guards as a solid peice and then attached...that way you don have to sculpt over the cut joint on the ankle/shin.

Very awesome! Like nova said, I'd tweak the shin-guard to be one piece that slips over the leg. That way the articualtion won;t break up the look when you move the shin.

Keep up the nice work,I haven't seen the movie still but the figure looks really cool with the cape.

Nice work. Agree on the shin armor, and a removable helmet would be awesomesauce, but he's nice as is.

I like the definition you've put on him. Is that a paint wash? Excellent use of the Namor body, plus he doesn't look like he has a spray-on tan :)

I think he was wanting you to raise your spear and say "AAAHHHHHHWOOOO!!!!!!"


Great work on the figure :)
