Basically all the white stuff on the figures is stuff I’ve sculpted, snake is almost all new sculpt He’s the TRU firefly, under all that. Plus i used matt trakkers face sculpt. I based the figure on the mcfarlane mgs1 Snake. I still need to add some odds and ends but they wont go on till he’s painted, like his gun holster and some pouches on the belt.
Meryls an agent helix figure sculpted over. I need to add her knife sheath, and she will have a belt on the final version it’s just not being glued on till shes painted. Looking at the pic i need to fill out her hair on the right side a bit more. It’s also hard to see but the right arm has bandages sculpted over it so thers some odd bumps on it. I based it on the mcfarlane figure.
Liquid is a movie trench coat snake eyes legs and arms, plus DCIH Gordon coat and joe trooper feet plus a flint head. The chest is sculpted, and the bitchen mullets sculpted as well.
First up is Vulcan Raven, He’s a Marvel Universe thunderball, with serpent or head and lots of sculpting. I forgot to add his laces on his boot still, and I will make his giant gun and drum. The one that comes with heavy duty is too shrimpy and I need to make one proper size.
Revolver Ocelot is a wolverine origins movie sabertooth with wild billl boots, and the extra unmasked beachead-head from the comic pack. I gave him some forehead wrinkles to look more aged. I still need to add bullets to the bottom belt and add a gun holster..
Psycho Mantis is the obvious movie doctor body that was sculpted too look like psycho mantis. But I made some modifications, I felt he was to fat. So I drilled his torso down a massive amount so he’d be super skinny like mantis is supposed to be. Then I sculpted rib cage showing… and I sanded down the sides of thighs to make him more skinny. I had to modify the mask, everyone uses the mask that comes with the pit trooper, but it’s a bit on the inaccurate side so I placed the vent in the front, and made proper evil eye lenses.
Sniper Wolf, is pretty damn involved figure. Shes a marvel universe ms marvel torso with movie cover girl legs, and movie scarlett arms. The hardest thing about wolf is her torso, I basically made it so she has a removable coat, it’s a separate peices from the body, so it work like most 25th figures removable torso gear. I did it for two reason it makes painting a million times more easy, and it just looks better and is more accurate not attached to the body
Decoy Octopus was pretty fun, because theres like very little reference material on his true form theres literlly like 2 pictures that exist. Decoy octopus is suppsed to have shaven down facial features, he shaves down his nose and ears. Plus he has weird hair that’s really far back but theres this one curl that comes up.
construction wise he’s movie doc coat, trenchcoat snake eyes torso, black cobra commander legs from the ol boxset Plus wild bill arms and movie duke face. But i messed it up and changed it to a movie zartan face after i took this pic
Genome soldiers the heavy armored troopers were made from TRU fireflys, I sculpted the chest armor. I need to add the gun holsters to them still.
The basic genome troopers, no sculpting, super easy. I want to make the other two types of genome troopers, the artic ones I could do no problem, I need two arctic movie snake eyes. Then the radiation trooper would need allot sculpting.
Heres ninja ginormas pain in the ass. Basically made from a movie shipwreck torso, spider man thighs, clonetrooper shins and hands.
This is the radition trooper super sculpt intesnsive pretty much all sculpted sans the mask and gloves. He’s a vvv storm shadow from the cobra forces boxset under all that. It bugs me some of the details in the sculpt don’ photograph well.
Otacons a got a modified movie se trenchcoat, with breaker torso, and cobra commander legs. I sculpted texture into his jeans, just cause i had a texturizing tool i was looking to fooll around with
Finally theres the Artic troopers… they were really easy just the artic snake eyes with the hood cut off and reculpted one in it’s place
