My first thought at the shoes on Grundy was, "that looks ridiculous."

Then I looked at it again and a slow smile worked across my face and I found myself nodding my head.

I like it!

Yeah, the Crocks on Grundy make a HUGE difference - and the face detail definitely "Grundy's" him up a bit better. My only suggestion are that the shoes are a little too clean. I'd dirty them up a bit, if not "tear" holes in them to show more wear-n-tear and better match his outfit.

Great update!

I like the shoes a lot better than no shoes, I agree that they need some scuffing up. For some reason, I want some nasty baggy socks with the elastic pulled out and hanging all over the place, but that might just be me.

I like to goggles look on Catwoman, but I'm not sure, they look a tad too big. Might just be the pic, I dont know. Still, 100% better w/ the goggles though.

Catwoman looks great with the goggles. As for Grundy I really think the shoes work great. I still don't know about the hair, it just seems a tad too white, figs looking good overall though.

Love the updates to Grundy and Catwoman!
I just really don't like the really long shins on the X-23 figure. Personally I would trim them down a bit.
I did it with my X-23 figure, it was pretty easy, and made a world of difference.

I've trimmed down the X-23 shins on one figure I made using her, and on my Lara Croft figure, used the slide off boot tops over Ms. Marvel lower legs instead, which creates an automatic reduction in height, if you'd rather knee swap than do the choppity chop.

I like Catwoman a lot though. I would dare say the X-23 wonky proportions are actually well suited for this character. It adds to the feline form in some way. also, I dig the goggles. Nicely done.

Like what you've done to bring Grundy up to speed also, though I prefer your first version better.

Grundy's shoes should totally be scuffed and ripped like the rest of his clothes.

Okay...heard you all loud and clear on Grundy's shoes and went to work scuffing them up.

I also gave the hair that dark gray wash we talked about.

Now I think he might be done:

Love the toes peaking out of the shoe. The wear on the shoes definitely make them more appropriate to Grundy. The only change I would suggest is painting the pants black, but it's not necessary. I'm impressed that you took that very distinctive Hulk figure and made it recognizable as a different character.

Robulus · **Posted:** Wed Jan 11, 2012 1:47 am

Yes! Looks much better. I also love the toes peeking through, very nice touch.

pluv · **Posted:** Wed Jan 11, 2012 11:27 am

Yep, that did the trick.

Solid paint work my man they both look tight.

Thanks guys. Glad you dig him.

As for the pants, it's weird. In hand they're the same color as the coat and they even look the same (except for a bit of sheen) when I'm taking pics. But the pocs, once auto-corrected, always show them bluish gray. I might hit them once more with a matte coat.
