Here's a figure I've been wanting to do for a while and just haven't had the parts all at the same time for until recently:

Bruce is an Indy torso, belt and feet, a Dr. Rex coat, the crotch of an action-attack-type Snake Eyes, MU Professor X hands on Admiral Thrawn arms and a head from a comic pack Joe.

The head was really what made me want to do this, as I think it kind of resembles the Hulk figure head:

I think the body is simply amazing.


But I'm really not feeling the head... I don't think Banner's ever sported the buzzcut look.

Sorry, Spin - have to concur...

to me, Banner will forever look like the Byrne banner - all unkempt hair & glasses ...

I've been reading the Decimation crossover thus week, which inexplicably included an issue of Hulk where he DID sport hair very similar to this. But also glasses.

This is a good custom in that you used that Indiana Jones torso, which is an excellent choice I'd not have considered. The rest of it is all pretty straight forward, as it should be for a lab tech kinda guy

No need to apologize.

This is why I post stuff here.

So would the head work with some glasses or is the mussed hair essential to the look?

This one was really an "I wonder if this can be done" project.

I had this old ToyBiz Wild Child that was more of an accessory (to the Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth) than a figure. Zero articulation and pitifully undersized. So I wanted to see if it could be upgraded. Here's how that turned out:

The body is from a DCIH Public Enemies Major Force with an MU Bulldozer belt wrapped around the neck. Head and hands were cut from the original ToyBiz figure. Feet are from an MU Sub Mariner.

Here's a shot of him in action:

What do you guys think? Worth the effort?

Inspired idea - my only critique is that he still looks too 90s-ToyBiz-y -- maybe a light tan wash or dry brush to make his hair look less like colored plastic and he'll fit right in with your Creed.

Took Chief's advice on Wild Child and washed his hair. Then I made him a friend for the holidays:
