Based on my favorite Felix Leiter, Jefferey Wright, as he appeared in Quantum of Solace.

I like that a lot. Doubt you cna do better than that with the head. Good eye seeing, if not a perfect likeness, at least the tone of the character in that cast head. |

Thanks, guys. Recipe is: Head: Starwarsgeek- Boba Fett (original design) Torso, upper arms, hands: 25A Scrap Iron Lower arms: 25A Wild Bill Jacket: Speed Racer- Royalton Legs: ROC Cobra Commander Feet: 25A Tunnel Rat Pistol: Weapons Pack ARAH Mutt I'm very happy with the head. It ties with my Xenia Onnatop as far as almost looking like the actor/actress. It's an original design available on eBay done (or at least sold by) Star Wars Geek, and is Boba Fett from The Book of Boba Fett. So it's a Temuera Morrison likeness subbing for Jefferey Wright pretty nicely, with some sculpted hair added/painted. I haven't even watched the last Bond film, and am in no rush. I can appreciate that you haven't seen them, 2DARK2C. On a similar note, I've just started to nibble on clips from the Roger Moore movies, as Jaws will be by next JB custom. It seems like all of the actors bring something to the character, even if it's lost under hammy writing at times.

Love this character and your custom. Excellent work. (Now I need to go looking for you Xenia Onnatop custom (a personal favorite Bond Girl/Bond villain). |

This is character I wasn't expecting to see. Well executed. Xenia would be cool to see. |

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. The head is great, and the work it took to get all of those parts to fit together to make a suit was well worth it. It's got the slightly rumpled look that the character had in his appearances, too. I loved the Jeffrey Wright Felix, so it's nice to see him in figure form. Great work! |

Really dig this custom, I loved that character and Ive been a fan of Jeffrey Wright since I first saw him in Basquiat. |

Thanks, all! This is a pretty good suit recipe (for those of us too cheap to buy Marauder parts, which look perfect). Those CC legs take some adjusting to get rid of the plug-in ports, though. JW is definitely sliding into the always-reliable Gene Hackman / Denzel Washington / Dennis Quaid slot. It doesn't matter what movie you drop him in, his scenes will always be great, even if it's an otherwise mediocre movie. |
