I have neither the skill nor the patience, to custom, but I really love to see other people's work.
This could work as an AOA Colossus but it would need a lot of work: new wrists (fists are fine with some paintwork on the palms) new lower legs (current shape is way 'too robot') and a head you'd have to pretty much do from scratch.
That would be tough: just making the bandana AOA Colossus wears over his face would be a hell of a challenge, let alone rendering the ultra-expressive face, that both Chris Bachalo or Roger Cruz drew beautifully. An AOA Shadowcat (White Queen body + Hulkbuster BAF wave Captain Marvel head + paint and you're there) would be simple, so I'd love to see someone do a decent, faithful custom of both.
The very first thing I thought when I clipped this together was: that would make one hell of an Alpha Flight Box custom (and even better, it could serve as 90% of either Box I or II). Even the colour scheme is there.
I'll look forward to seeing what people make from this: it's okay as a BAF, but a treasure trove for skilled customisers.
This thing keeps looking better and better the more I see it. And I just got confirmation my set has shipped. Of course it's not the version of CD we all wanted, but if you're gonna do the wrong figure you might as well do it damn good. Shame bout how bad that Yelenafigure turned out though. I'm a completest though so I'm just glad I only have to get one.
