    Vinny0026 - Bane! Batman - Foe

    Vinny0026 - Bane! Batman is no more! I have destroyed him. I rule these streets - I Rule Gotham!

    I went a little out side the box on this one.

    I have wanted to do Bane for a while but did not want to copy what I did for Crossbones. Also there are many different looks to Bane - but I wanted to base mine on his earlier look which I felt was more Mego-Like. I stuck pretty much to the formula - but did give him green hoses instead of the silver/gray hoses he had in the comics. Just think the green ooze looks so much cooler. IMO

    I came across this UFC Body in my parts bins - so figured I try it out.
    It is 8 inch Mego scale - I used some trick photography to make it look a little bigger in some of the pictures.

    The head came from Ebay - it was painted by Dave Mc - (Thanks Dave!)
    It was a standard mego resin head with a neck plug - I cut the plug off - and drilled the hell out of it to make it fit on the body.

    I also drilled the holes all over the head to make the hoses fit. I also added metal rings where the tubes attach to the head to give it a better look.

    The top is a wrestling suit from CTV
    The pants & boots are from ebay - they come off that bootleg Combat-figure.

    I made the belt and buckle - mostly from a ctv knights belt - But made the buckle from scratch.
    The green hoses came from the parts bins - was holding them for this project.

    Did not get a chance to order his box yet - will try and do that this week.

    Was fun taking some pics of him beating down Batman

    Thanks for looking
    Enjoy!
