Sorry had to edit the pictures disappeared? !8-O
It has been awhile since I posted something due to school. Finally graduated LPN school and back to school I go. But with a lighter load, for now, enough to update my projects & hopefully giving me sometime to get back to customizing.
As always, feedback and critiques are welcome, wanted & coveted, last in my AJVc 2011 line, still in progress: Mr. Winkie, AKA: Monkeywrench, was one of those customs that just happened, a happy accident in the mist of my studies and trying to get inspiration to finish Marvin, Courtney and Donald.

Parts used
Head: Torch (modded with wrestlers head, originally my friends Hulk Hogan custom)
Torso/ Arms & Hands: Build and Brawl
Legs: 25th anniversary (can't remember)
Vest: Roadblock modified
Bling: MU Luke Cage (it has been modified, need to upload more recent pics)
Back Pack: POC I want to be Raptor, Zartan

Very cool use of parts. Gives the character an over the top feel.

cool, I like his look and the work you did on him, only parts I don't care for are BNB Hands

hell yes! this is an awesome spin on Monkeywrench

Thank you all for your input,



Trans - you're right not my first choice but I needed hands that will adjust to a bikes handle bars.., his chopper is scheduled for late 2012 or mid 2013, until I'm able to reproduce or get alt hands that will work the same.... Awesome feedback, thank you

Love to hear more before I put this guy on the shelf and call it done.

Should I give him somesort of harpoon gun???

Great work man, it's cool to see the WIP pics!

Nice work. As for his weapon, I never understood the tri-prong harpoon gun. MonkeyWrench was into explosives. I would suggest a grenade launcher, preferably a multi shot model.

I think I definitely use that, I have several that might work, didn't even occur to me to do that, thanks.

Final pics, again thank you all for your input

I've got my Bling on:

For me, the best part of this is what you did with that vest. Totally opening my eyes up to new possibilities for that thing.

I like the figure overall, but I'm seeing him as more a new 'Nok character than Monkeywrench. Probably just because I tend to see the origina; 'Noks in their iconic looks/colors.

great figure, I myself like classic looks but updated looks are great too and he has a feel of both so he's a winner in my book

I really like what you did with the vest too. You might want to go over the mustache again with some touch up paint. You can see some white poking out around the edges. Normally I wouldn't nit pick but it visually adds age to him. Otherwise pure win.

You really made those parts work for you. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have coming down the line!

Yeah I notice that when I looked at the pics, and my wife thought he looked good with some age on him, specially since it remind her of our neighbor (who is a biker)

Here are final pics with the rocket launcher... now to upload to the queue

Thank you all for your feed back, input and critiques
