Thanks, guys!

This is a project I started on years ago, slowly picking up fodder here and there. 2DARK2C gave me a box of fodder parts that contained an Indiana Jones Sankara stone in it. That because the basis for the head, so extra thanks to you!

Awesome! I’ve had one parted out for over a decade. Glad to see someone actually make this guy

Thanks, Matthew.

Almost the same story on mine time wise. The parts took forever, maybe four or five years. I started with the Thanos body, but the legs were too short. Then I saw the Juggernaut legs... and finally the Thing hands. I never would have thought Toy Biz 90's parts would come in handy, but how about that?

Mine also sat, stuck in idle mode, until I stumbled onto that piece 2DARK2C had tossed in a fodder box. I wasn't even looking for it. Just saw it and it clicked.

What recipe were you going for? The hands are the most off-design because the fingers/thumbs are ridged, but it looked more reasonable than how it was drawn so I used them without any regret.

I have had 2 Marvel Legends Tony Stark silver first armor figures set aside to attempt this one, one as the built one and the other as the dissected version.


Nice work.

This is really excellent. The WIP pic really showcases how much work went into the figure.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Go for it, Dark Jedi. What about making it with strong magnets at the joint so it be taken apart? Just a thought.

I hadn't thought of magnets, but one would be the 'hero' version and the other the parts version. Hadn't progressed beyond getting parts and idea.

Very cool idea! I love customs based on material from the comics and cartoon. So many inspiration out there waiting to be turned into plastic figure life...
