NICE! I've been trying to come up with an Executioner recipe for some time now. I don't want to go WAY big with a Thanos/Juggy base, but haven't found a smaller one that suits what I want.

I really like how yours is put together, though - might have to see about trying this one myself.

Where did you get those shoulder armor bits?

They're the shoulder armor from PoC Moneybags Destro and PoC Iron Grenadier.

I like that a lot. Great parts usage here. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go piece together a Buck Rogers Tiger Man custom.

Nice update. Now make a movie Enchantress to boss him around.

Thanks, guys. Glad you dig him.

Kilcarr called the shoulderpads. They're off the Moneybags Destro figure.

The rest of the figure is a Retaliation Roadblock head on an Ages of Thunder Thor body with Bulldozer lower legs and a Resolute Pilot Destro chest piece. The axe belonged to World War Hulk.

And pluv, thanks for reminding me who he reminds me of. Haven't thought of Tiger Man in ages.

I had already "fixed" the height issue with one MU Apocalypse figure, but that was based on the single card release and I never really cared for him with all that bare skin showing.

So when I got the TRU exclusive X-Factor set, I decided to try an make a right-height Apocalypse that was closer to his comic colors:

The upper legs and knees are from a Fantastic Four 2 movie Thing figure. Everything else is Apocalypse.

Here's a shot of him with some common frames of reference so you can see where he comes in now on the height scale:

I like it, looks alot better than just adding thigh extensions which really make the figure look out of anatomical balance, nice work.

Much improved Apocalypse.
