Brute (Marvel Universe) Custom Action Figure
Final member of the Six! Mutant X changed up the original X-Men team in obvious, but still clever ways. Nothing felt like a stretch. It all made sense for them. In this reality, Hank McCoy still did his experiments, but instead of screwing up and getting blue fur, his mistake had real repercussions. He transformed into a more amphibious based creature, and lost his intelligence. Becoming the big, dumb, lovable Brute. This one was a nightmare to pull together. I never could probably work out both the build and the legs the way I wanted to. I finally remembered that I had been given a full Minotaur cast body ages ago. I was asked to use the head on a new Minotaur figure, but they let me keep the rest. The build and legs both worked, but needed a ton of sanding and sculpting. Don't think the body is available anywhere now unfortunately. Really wanted to get a before and after shot, but I was already very behind, and just needed to work on him piece by piece as quick as possible. Sanded all the hair off the legs and sculpted up the hooves, leg bands, and kneepads. Torso had the abs resculpted, the belt added, and almost all the fur sculpted on. Arms were garbage, so I swapped them out for Hercules, with hands from Omega Red. Added all the fur and the claws. Head was a Sabretooth cast from AvacsLab, with the face reworked, and the hair and ears sculpted on. After all of that, a full repaint, and done! And that's completes the team! Included a group shot to show them all together.   Please wait... |
