This figure resides with his new owner, who actually acquired the Captain N I made a few years back as well. The client is a huge fan of that show and era and wanted an additional member of the team.

Base figure was a brand new Good Smile Mega Man figure, provided by the client. It was my first time working with a Good Smile figure and they are pretty neat. Lots of pieces though, so it took me a little time to think of my approach to this guy.

The request was to make it resemble the cartoon version as much as possible. So the first thing I did was chopped off the top of his dome. The Megs from the show had more of a squared off head so I completely sculpted the new top and crest of the helmet. Then I modified his forearms and boots and added the shoulder plates, blasters and knee pads to all of the interchangeable parts.

For his face, I wanted to keep his original flesh tone and mouth expressions, but repaint the top half. So instead of just painting over his eyes, I decided to completely remove them. I removed the original factory paint using Acetone-Free nail polish remover [shout out to the wife for picking that up]. That stuff worked like a charm.

A bit of sanding - smoothing - painting and boom!! Here he is.
