Crystal Ball, weird character and kind of useless, I never really used him when i was a kid. With this "not-that-popular"character, I wanted to keep the gypsy background. I tried to give him a less gimmick-feel by dropping the shield, I'll let you see what I replace it with.

Very nice take on him. I especially like using two of the lower right Destro legs to make the boots more symmetrical. Simple idea but it looks great.

That is a beautiful custom. Works in any age, any scenario. Makes him a real character, rather than a caricature.

I can see him terrorizing the shadier parts of Romania and owning the back streets with well placed rumors of mystical powers.

And those paints are so smooth, you must have used a Gillette 5 blade to paint with.

How I missed commenting on this I'll never know. This figure is everything I want Crystal Ball to be. Amazing eye for parts choices, flawless paint apps, really great work.
