Another one of the "proto-villains" from the 1970s only this time from the Hasbro stable. This is a special post too because it'll be my first work in progress. I've delved deeper and deeper into the world of amateur sculpting with this rather obscure project.
Gor is from the Super Joe Adventure Team line of toys from the 1970s. In a bid to compete with the incredible might of the Kenner Star Wars toy line, Hasbro attempted to fight back with the Super Joe line (Or Commander Power line in the UK, licensed by Palitoy). Super Joe had to do battle against against Gor, King of the Terrons. Now the trouble with Gor was that I couldn't find a figure that I liked enough to represent him. There were several options but ultimately I went with the Marvel route and got a knock off BAF Ultimate Green Goblin for pennies!
I want to homage this.
So I went from this -
To this.
Current Work in Progress:
I am still working on his head, the back of his legs and will soon have to figure out his abs. The sculpting part is actually pretty difficult for me. What do you guys think so far? I'll be updating this soon.
