Jackie Estacado - the Darkness (Legendary Comic Book Heroes) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:68000
Name:Jackie Estacado - the Darkness
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Legendary Comic Book Heroes
Creator:SirJordy33  
Date Added:November 25, 2014
Base Figure:Kamandi, Movie Masters Ra's Al Ghul
Height:6.00 inches
The Darkness is one of my favorite characters period, and ever since I first saw Kamandi I thought that his head would make the perfect base for Jackie, (Banner/Hulk INC has the same idea as me BTW.) but I never could really justify having to Jackiesin my collection since I've already got the LCBH one. That was until recently in the comics when Jackie ejected The Darkness from himself which formed into an evil clone. Voila! "I'll just make this an Evil-Darkness-Clone-Jackie and put it on my villains shelf!" I exclaimed as my wife rolled her eyes.

So anyway, my photos really don't do this justice but even though this is, in my mind, Evil Blah Blah Jackie I took inspiration from the Darkness video games. I used Kamandi's head and hands on a Ra's Al Ghul's Movie Master body. I used a Professor Xavier coat as I thought it fit the body better, painted the hair and eyebrow's black, gave him some guns and some darklings, and I was good to go.

-Darkling number 1 comes from a McFarlane Grave Digger figure.
-Darkling number 2 is a Movie Paralax BAF Arm plugged into a Human Torch flame base. See the Green Lantern movie was good for something other than a coaster!
-Darkling number 3 was a Galoob Trash Bag Bunch Figure
-Darkling number 4 was a Star Wars Episode 2 Movie Nexu figure
-Darklings numbers 5 & 6 I'm especially proud of. I wanted his "demon arms" like he's got in the Darkness game, but I wanted them to be removable. What I did was take a back flame effect from the recent Ultimate Green Goblin figure and cut it to size. I then drilled where the holes in the back of the Xavier coat arm into the figure's back. Using a cheap figure's spear I made two pegs to fit into those holes. Then I cut the heads/arms off an old Godzilla Biollante toy. Glued the head/arms into place and then covered that in a little hot glue to blend the sculpt. Finished with a paint job.

What to you guys think? If anyone has any ideas from some more darklings I'm practically obsessed with adding them. I'll leave a list of the others I'm currently using for the official LCBH figure.

LCBH Darklings, Moore Darklings, Pre-ML Emplate pack-in figure, 2 McFarlane goblins, 1 McFarlane Wizard of Oz The Wizard pack-in figure, 2 McFarlane Phlebiac Brothers, Mego-bloks Zuul, and 2 Devil May Cry Mini-figures. If anyone else is looking for darklings or goblins (Goblin Queen anyone?) these all look great. Anyway thanks for your time. I'll end this novel now. Comments! =D

You're referring to the Accursed storyline. Which is my favorite. Recently the Top Cow universe was destroyed and remade by Jackie. Try picking up the Rebirth series if you're interested. Awesome stuff.

A very cool idea for the Kamandi head! And thanks for mentioning my custom too, we both had same idea. Yours looks really good with the suit you chose and the various demons/darklings. This is a really awesome Jackie Estacado, the Darkness!
