Swamp Thing

[Merlyn1976]

Alex Olsen is caught in a lab explosion caused by his co-worker, Damian Ridge, who intended to kill him to gain the hand of Olsen's wife Linda. Olsen is physically altered by chemicals and the forces within the swamp. He morphs into a monstrous creature who kills Ridge before the latter can murder Linda. Unable to make Linda realize his true identity, the Swamp Thing sadly ambles to his boggy home.

Very cool looking suit

The night shots make the figure look SPOOOOOOKY!!!!

[ABMAC]

He needs more texture. You should redo him with more vines, roots, and such. He looks like an alien gymnast being attacked by broccoli.

very nice, mr merlyn...very nice indeed...

[Meule]

He could use a little more texture, like Ant says, but he looks great nonetheless. You altered that head yourself? Impressive

[huedell]

It has a nice look to it. Congrats. Maybe you might look into "filling in some space"
there... still...that moss stuff, placed simillarly, would be great on a
Floronic Man/Plant Master figure.............cool.

Due to popular opinion I tried to make him more "slimy"

I added more detail but at the risk of messing him up I had to stop...hope you enjoy...

BTW sorry no outside shots this time...it's raining

Swampie is one of my faves and you've nailed em' my friend! Great job with that suit and head sculpt. I plan on making my own one day, hope he turns out as good as yours

Merlyn...that bit you wrote ^^^ brings to mind Doc Brown's "You'll have have to excuse
the crudity of this model, it's not built to scale." (in spite of it being an amazing
functional model)

You were forced to shoot SWAMP THING inside---yet you happened to have
the perfect science lab background for him--- YET you still apologize --- you are too humble---
especially when you add into the mix the fact that that SWAMP THING figure looks
REAL sharp, man.

Great job!

Great Figure. Alec Olsen???? I though it was Alec Holland that became Swamp Thing?

That description looks like it refers to the FIRST Swamp Thing who appeared in a try-out in "House of Secrets" #92. When the character was given his own series, it was given a modern update (the prototype was more gothic if I recall) and he was dubbed Alec Holland. In Alan Moore's run on "Swamp Thing" he incorporated the original tale into his storyline with a modern day framing sequence featuring Abagail Arcane, Cain and Abel.
