Longshot

Probably one of my least favorite characters but since I had the spare parts and I have my quest to complete my x-men, heeeeres Longshot. I went with his more current X-Factor look, mostly cause the idea of sculpting a mullet hurt something in my soul. The base figure is a Nightcrawler, I modified the torso and added the collar, the hands are from Thor and they too have been modified. the legs are from Union Jack, the head is from some SW Pilot figure I got in a 3 pack at Ross and the belt and bandoleer are from my box of spare joe parts

He needs the glowing eye and longer hair, but this is a good start.

EDIT:
I'm wondering if you could use that Honda head from the Star Wars Joker Squadron. It sorta has a mullet.

Ah, well, it matches that pic. That's good. I'm familiar with the classic Longshot. Oopsie.

Nice modern Longshot. I'd lose the grenade though.

I think that works great. The best part is I've been racking my brain for a good head for a different character and by you painting that head blonde, you just sold me on a different use for it. For that, I thank you.

Looks pretty damn good to me, i agree loose the grenade, very cool work.

He also reminds me of a younger looking Chuck Norris LOL :-/

pretty good,he does look a bit scrawny and I think the head looks a bit old actually, but he does mirror your reference pic
