25th Anniversary Darklon

Recipe:

Head: RAH Darklon
Body: 25th Serpentor modified
Lower Legs: 25th Destro
Grenades: 25th Duke bandoliers
Knife: 25th Snake-eyes '89

I always liked Darklon, any addition to Destro's clan was cool. I always say Darklon as wanting to be Destro, but instead of using his brain and charisma, Darklon used violence, intimidation, and firepower.
The only major change i made was his shirt, I just couldn't bring myself to paint the lime green, so I went with a more subdued green.

Damn, that's a mighty codpiece.

Good work, on a fun character.

Amazing work! The head looks perfect on that body. Totally redeems the character in 25th glory.

OH MY GOODNESS! That is beyond words, I have a hard time thinking that Hasbro could do anything that close. That is plain beautiful, I want it :twisted:

If you need to sell it, I would hate to see him not have anywhere to go and I would take him in *snickers*

Great, great job though.

That's better than Hasbro could ever make.

Darklon was redefinly a labour of love, I've been working on him off an on for a few months. A big thanks goes out to whoever it was that got me the head and gun, I unfortunately can't remember who it was.

That's badass. I wasn't going to go with the original design for my 25th Darklon, but I may have to reconsider. Very cool man.

Great work. I love the accessories- the grenades rock!

Yes, the grenades, the sculpting of the classic design, and even the colors are all win on this one!
I LOVE Darklon, so this was a treat to see! Fantastic :-D

Now thats what I call a 25th custom. It perfectly resembles the original figure. Great work.

Very Cool I always liked Darlon but hated the paint scheme, but I must admit the paint scheme on the 25th style is great.

I'm another one who never enjoyed the original Darklon figure in execution, but here the design really works (must be the more heroic proportions of the 25th figure).

Really well done.
