That's pretty neat. The body reminds me of the guy in the HBO series Rome that Vorenus kills to save Pullo in the gladiator ring. So I guess that means to did a great job making him look like a gladiator. That show had a huge budget and won awards for costume I think.

This is very cool and something Hasbro should've included in the DVD packs.
Well done!

Nice work on a figure I always wished I'd had as a kid.

I think I used He-Man as a stand-in.

I dig him overall, and I appreciate what a [LASER BLAST] it must have been to get the flesh paint to cover the blue base figure. The only thing that distracts me - and please tell me if it fits the character's design in which case ignore - are the raised lines - mostly on the legs - that were part of the Frost Giant sculpt.

I kind of like the raised lines. I imagine them to be some sort of ritual scar tattooing or something of that nature. Makes you think about his past.

yeah, if it's an intentional choice to be like a tribal thing, then I get it.

Thanks, all.

The lines were left alone to pass as scarification marks. The ones on the upper body are not as symmetrical and work better. The ones on the legs I probably should have sanded down. I thought that they'd be more obscured by the layers of paint, but they weren't.

I was pleased that I was able to find a use Gammorean Guard feet and Titan AE hands.

The legs (especially the lower) are too long for my taste, but I like the rest.

The legs are a bit thin- the base figure isn't human but a Frost Giant, which is most noticeable in the work that the sculptor did in the biceps. I actually bulked up the lats and the forearms, but left the legs alone. After adding the larger Gammorean Guard feet, I should have bulked up the legs a bit, but wasn't really sure where to start, so I left it alone.
