Bionic Commando

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi all, hoping everyone is having a good weekend so far! I’ve been lurking around these parts for a lil’ while now, and have even uploaded a few customs to the gallery.

Here is my latest custom WIP. I’ve been missing some of my old video game heroes and one that I’ve been wanting to make for a little while now in 1:12 / 6” GI Joe Classified scale is Bionic Commando.

I started with a Classified Gung Ho base and took the left upper arm / shins and feet from a 7” DC Cyborg (poor Ray always gets the shaft!!!). The left forearm and claw hand came off of a Pacific Rim the Black Atlas Destroyer figure.

I’m planning on trying out a 1:12 Green tank top and then head swapping with another figure. Any suggestions? Nathan “Rad” Spencer has dreads / Rasta kind of hair but I suppose I could always sculpt it after the fact. I know there is a 7” Neca figure, but I sort wanted to do my own (hopefully with a bit better articulation). Also still need to sculpt in some kneecaps.

Thoughts / comments welcome and encouraged!

Thanks!!
