Ever since the 1st time I saw the New Marvel Legends Beetle figure a thought always crosses my mind "that frigging Iron Man" (maybe I'm old school , but for me Beetle is suppose to be green and purple) , so as soon I got a second figure I had two options make a color accurate Beetle or an Iron Man (standard or Marvel Now) simple right? (WRONG!!) went for IM and thing got messy from there , painted all silver parts golden and all the orbs in his body green , so far OK , went and painted the original head , and messed up BAD! (due to diabetic nerve pain , it's sometimes very hard to do precise painting) but I didn't give up , just needed a regular Iron Man head and done, right? (WRONG AGAIN!!, the only one I had was too small and the other one fitted nice but was a stealth one , so back paint again (gold helmet and green face plate) look nice and then I went weird , found a WWII Captain America alternate Steve Rogers head , try it and to my surprise it fitted perfectly , how can something as simple as a head sap became so complicated, it's mindboggling! , anyhow here is theend result (for now) not completely satisfied with this one , will probably upgraded later with better parts , check out and be gentle guys , not my best work, Thanks!   Please wait... |

I LOVE this figure he actually inspired me to come up with a little story for your character (hope Im not overstepping my boundaries lol)
"Little Steve Rogers was always the smallest guy, the nerd but also the smartes. One day he goes to try to join the US army but do to his small stature he is turned away. Crushed and feeling down he remembers his first love...his first friends. His bug collection from when he was young! While trying to recapture the joy he felt as a boy collecting bugs and studying them he is inspired! He uses his intelligence and combines it with his favorite of all the insects to create a suit of armor and serve his country as THE IRON BEETLE!"
yeah my story needed work but I thought of it in 5 minutes haha
