So when I posted my Doc Venture custom, someone asked if they could expect any other characters from the show. They could. Because what's the Doc without Brock?

I'll probably be adding a knife sheath to his belt and if I can find some permed hair I'll be updating his mullet. But in the meantime, I think he'll work:

Something about the face feels off. But, everything else is perfect.

I'm ok with the face, but the hair doesn't quite work for me, but if you find more of a permed mullet, that'd make him perfect.

Great choice of parts; This is a very 'real' or human version of Brock if you get me...

The hair is the hardest part. There really isn't anything out there like it and it changes shape and size form episode to episode.

If your theme is realistic/plausible looking versions inspired by the show, then I think Brock is awfully close here. But I think you need to go the full monty with him personally. Doc Venture looks like he walked right off the screen (and is completely production level at that), so I say do Brock in a way that seems larger than life to match his show appearance more directly also.

I can't remember if it was Iron Will or Robulus (guessing it was Will) who did a pretty crazy accurate version of Brock a ways back. I think a toon-accurate look is needed to compliment Doc.

Sadly, other than checking out the other custom I saw, I don't have any great parts suggestions yet. If I did, I might have done one already myself.

But like I said, in terms of more realistic takes on the character, this is right on.

The body works well, it's the face that isn't quite on. That face says "Meh, I don't really care", but a Brock face would say "I will kill all of you with only my pinky toe". It's the intensity of the eyebrows that will make or break it. I wish I could think of a good suggestion, there aren't many really intense faces around... I was sort of toying with the MU Cable as an idea.

Also, a cigarette would not be out of place.

Thanks guys.

I was definitely going for a more realistic version of Brock as both he and the Doc are going to interact with my Joes.

That said, I know the hair is off. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get that chunky perm look on the mullet. I think that would get it where I want it to be, but I really have no idea how to go about it.

In the meantime, I may revisit his eyebrows to try and mean him up a bit. Might add the cigarette, too.

I appreciate all the feedback. It's helpful.

As for a head, maybe the first MU Punisher head, which I think was part of the discussion when you did Road Pig as well, if I remember right Spin.
