Imagine a world where the budget of the ccbs Star Wars large action figures had instead been funneled towards MCU figures? You know, the figures that are generally designed to be bright and visually appealing and toy sales?
Love the MCU or hate it, I guarantee that this ccbs style Captain America figure in 2016 would've sold better than "75536 Range Trooper" or most other buildable Star Wars figures that we got.
While my grandfather’s GP-7 sits in the garage awaiting repairs, you can purchase your own Hot Wheels version. This is a fairly recent toy, so you can find it on eBay, Amazon, etc.
After a quick day off, we're back. And One Day One Shot December continues.
Today's figure was a clearance find from a few months back - Marvel Legends Cyclops, from the Age of Apocalypse line.
A cyclops from an alternate reality that dares to ask "what if cyclops drank redbulls and punched holes in his walls"
I'm not a huge Marvel Legends collector, but I couldn't pass this one up. The price was a huge factor, but also love this one-off story redesigns. And I have a huge soft spot for Age of Apocalypse.
Great sculpt, especially on the hair and the asymmetrical armor. Incredible colors on this (mostly unpainted) plastic. I love the scuffing and bronze tarnish effect they got on the gold armor.
Here's my custom 1/12th scale Lethal Company Employee and Bracken action figures.
I took a bit of a break in the middle of working on these, so it took longer than usual to complete. It also didn't help that I botched the first coating of primer because I was trying a new method. Regardless, I'm happy with the results.
The base figure for the Employee is the Client Black Series and the straps are made from a WWE figure accessory. Everything else including the Helmet, shovel, and air tanks had to be made from scratch.
The Bracken base figure is the Marvel Legends Kro figure. I was able to repurpose a lot of original parts such as the Tendrils I used in place of the leaf-like parts. The face and back (where the Tendrils are attached) needed to be reshaped with Apoxie sculpt.
