Based on the early 2000's Action Man villain.

The Hasbro UK toy featured a wild haircut that was halfway between Guile and Bozo the Clown. I tried several times to sculpt it, but couldn't get it to look right. Finally I just sculpted it as long slicked-back hair and let the paint do the work.

Thanks, guys.

The boots are from an Imaginext Sinestro, and yes, they are big clunkers!

I have done most of the Council of Doom now:

how did you get a select list of your customs like that, it's very cool and handy! i remember all these but not as action man stuff, just awesome customs. i just was searching for the lizardx or snap the other day but saw none for sale. it would make for a great giant lizard for 4" figures. you should cast kits of that x-robot! it looks better than a lot of production robot henchmen! i notice that clear red? colored headcast. i have several different sculpts in all kinds of colors people have given me over the years. any ideas who made them?

I have a handful of them to keep using. I've even been able to use the hands and feet a few times, but not the torsos/heads/arms yet. I tried using a head for a masked figure I'm working on, but it looked to cartoony.

The list is just the tag for "councilofdoom".

That clear red head is a cast I made of the ARAH Toxo-Viper, if I remember correctly. It's just clear resin with red food dye added to it.

As far as making kits, that's above my abilities in casting. I can do heads or solid pieces. Things that require rivets or screws or outside of my range. In fact, I don't do much casting anymore. I just go to Starwarsgeek on eBay and get whatever he's made that's closest to what I'm envisioning for a project.
