I have been working at this android covered in Adamantium for almost a year. Poking and prodding and never satisfied.
I don't claim to be Joe Customizer but I do my best and that is all I care about. As long as my daughter is happy with the outcome of the figure.
For the longest time I was going to put on a shiny fabric costume over this guy but I decided not to.
I experimented with several body suits until I decided to take a junky CTVT's body that was headed to the dump until I fished him out and restrung his body.
Then I altered each appendage with different various versions of sculpty.
I had to take a light to each section to heat up the clay to make it hard but without melting the body (I accidentally nearly melted a hole in his side but I fixed it.) The trick was getting his arms and legs perfect up to the ankles, shoulders, knee bends and neck so that he can move them. That is what took so long. The planning of actually making him a "action figure"
The head is my creation. A long and drugged out process I thought I would never get to the end of. I spent hours looking at the many changes of this robot monster before I came to this conclusion. I will never be like my hero (Captain Mego) who is a master at this but oneday I will get it.
You may not call this a Mego because he lacks clothing. It is all my sculpting and my painting but I think I like what I got for this prototype and I might attempt to do a couple more if this turns out to be a hit (on some level).
Lots of metallic silver paint with Clear Acrylic Sealer does the final wonders to the indestructible robot.
