Rainbow Raider (DC Universe) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:66246
Name:Rainbow Raider
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:DC Universe
Creator:Rabid_Ewok  
Date Added:September 29, 2014
Base Figure:Shark
Height:6.00 inches
Here is one of DC's most fearsome supervillains, Roy G. Bivolo, the Rainbow Raider! To make the figure I used a DC Universe Classics Shark body, removed the fins, and re-did the shoulders and neckline with styrene and Apoxie Sculpt. The head is from a Marvel Legends ToysRUs boxset Cyclops with newly sculpted goggles. Rainbow Raider's goggles give him the power to create solid beams of light. He uses this power to create a rainbow slide that he can ride on. I really wanted to re-create this effect in the form of a display base. The base was cobbled together with various pieces of wood, PVC pipe, styrene, Apoxie Sculpt, and the cover of a 3 ring binder. The binder cover was a thin plastic that had a texture to it that worked great for the concrete base. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Great job brother , you manage to make a low class villain actually cool , love the paintwork , colorful ,clean and vibrant and that base really complements the character perfectly ,I really wish DC (Mattel) would have added more specific and detailed bases for their figures (like the earlier Marvel Legends or the current Marvel Select series) , again Fantastic Work!!!

Fearsome??? Laughsome is more accurate. But that said you did the character justice and the fig looks amazing and I love the base. I really would love to see more of these z-listers they all have there little niche in the universe and I would love to have one of these in my collection and the base is awesome.

I agree with Carnivac, that is a ridiculous character. That being said, that is one AMAZING figure. The paint job is really really impressive, and I love the base also. Really GREAT job!

Ridiculous character but makes an oddly appealing action figure. Particularly with that nifty base. Really good work on this.

I love it! The base is awesome. I made a Rainbow Raider once, but always wished I had made a base for him. Great work.
