Base body= Iron Fist
Head, left hand= 25th Duke
Toes= SHS Namor
Bolo whips= pieces cut from 25th Red Ninja weapon and beads. On the extended one, the whip is a twist tie with the end split.

I've been wanting to make a Tygra from the Duke head for a while now. Like the Frozone custom, it wasn't until MU came out that we got good muscular frames for these types of characters. This would also mark my first custom using Green Stuff; and let me tell you, I'm never going back to plumber's epoxy or anything else again. Anyway, I wanted to do like the SW Jedi figures and give one extended version of his weapon, and one retracted. I might put a peg on the retracted one so he can stow it on his hip.

I'm planning on making the rest of the cats. Panthro's already in process, with Cheetara in the parts-scrounging stage.

Still can't believe that's a Duke head -- just friggin' amazing.

Consider him stolen -- I was wanting a leaner body for my Tygra (MLS Magneto was too bulky) - Iron Fist is perfect.

Can't wait until MU Guardian comes out - he looks to be a perfect base to update my Lion-O with.


Awesome, dude - now show us the rest of the team! :D

Lion-O's a tough one. I'm thinking of going with a Cobra disguise Flint because his head's a little bigger and he has the square jaw that I was looking for. As for his body; I think I have one chosen. I'm going to use a SHS Daredevil, which it taller and bulkier than Iron Fist's.

Since Panthro is shorter and more muscular, I went with a BnB Lashly figure. I sculpted over his mouth and ears to give him the right look.The head's perfect though, and really looks like Panthro with the mods.

you've got to be kidding me MUNDY!! This is ridiculously insane!! AWESOME sculpting/painting, hit this character dead on.

When I saw the title of the thread and that you were the customizer I immediately thought you did a Tygra in DCDU-scale. To know this level of detail is on a 3 3/4" figure is mind blowing :bow:

that is one freakin' amazing looking custom... i don't know what else to say.

The use of the duke head is very inspiring. Can't wait to see the rest of the TCats.
