25th Thunder

I saw Bad Gumbo over at another forum post his version of this guy and I thought I would give it a shot with a few differences. I plan to replace the plastic strap on the monocle with string so that it sits better on his neck and chest, but he is 99.9% finished. Hope you guys like him.

As always, Thanks for looking.

I think he looks really good TC! How did you make the headset for him?

Brilliant! I will steal this idea. Good 25th translation here.

Pretty well done.

I'll be curious to see how the forthcoming movie tie-in Thunder compares. Not well, I'd wager.

I'm beginning to think that torso is one of the most versatile pieces to use for a custom.

Hasbro has used it what, 6-8 times now?

Nice work on Thunder. Looks exactly like he should done up 25th style...

Hot damn, that headset was BRILLIANT. Flat out genius man. That's some seriously good innovation there.

Hmm. How well do 25th figures fit in the Slugger?

The headset is a masterpiece in ingenuity, and the parts selection is almost perfect. Since I cant find any paint rubs, I have to nitpick on SOMETHING. And, that something is that head. I hate the piece, and I dont feel it works for Thunder. ARAH Thunder had that "i hate everything" scowl, and this head just looks like a goofy, kinda nerd. Otherwise, its a wonderful custom.

Nice work.

What's the head? Can't place it...

It's from the Star Wars comic pack with the 2 knights. Just cut the ponytail off of him and dab of paint to cover where the ponytail was.

Thanks again for all the great feedback guys.
