I like the Master Collector version, but can't justify spending the money. Rather than using a Blanka head, I tried to match the head a bit closer to the original card art.

Yes, the figure has goggles/vision things, but I haven't glued them in place or made a better looking strap for them. Any suggestions about that?

This is a WIP which may take a while. I tried using a Jedi cloak for the labcoat, but it looked horrible. Eventually, Habro will put out a SW or IJ figure with a usable piece and I'll work it onto the figure.

Forgive the last two images- getting used to a camera...

Much better head choice. What is it?

'91 Destro head with Buzzer's scalp. The scalp is completely sculpted-over, but it was a good starting point.

The head is really an inspired choice. I don't think I've ever seen any one use that head for anything other then Destro.

You may think I'm totally nuts, but I pieced together a labcoat out of nothing more than a dried out baby wipe for one of my Resident Evil customs a while back. It's by no-means Killa cool, but it works. Here's the pic...

Amazing custom. I think it's way cooler then the con figure.
