Well, this was certainly a challenge! I saw that the Marvel Legends line didn't include a Yellow Jacket figure to go with the movie Ant-Man, so I figured, "Why not?" Good Lord did I underestimate how difficult this would be! Began with a Batman Infinity Nightwing figure (same as I used for my custom Ant-Man) and began all the sculptwork. Naturally, since I'm a details guy, I gathered a lot of reference pics and put in as much sculpt as I could. Then for the arms...

For the arms I used those from the LOTR Shelob figure because they're super-articulated. I built a housing unit (backpack) and attached straps from a MM Batman Begins Bruce Wayne in tech gear. The Shelob arms were apoxied into the housing of the backpack with several layers to ensure they wouldn't ease themselves out and then sculpted more tech onto the backpack itself. Finally, I sculpted the mechanical elements onto the segments of the legs, making sure to retain the legs' articulation. Even the shoulder spikes are articulated (and also came from the skinny Shelob segments). Once done, I wrapped it up with a paint job. For the gleaming yellows, I first painted those sections gold, then covered them with a clear yellow.

So that's about it. He was a crazy endeavor and, like every single custom I make that is not a commissioned piece, he is available on eBay. Thanks for looking!
