    It's the Beetles

    Here is my collection of the Beetle, a minor Marvel villain:



    From left to right is the Beetle as he originally looked made by me, the classic Spider-Man version made by Brian Leitner, and an original glow-in-the-dark version I call the Fire Beetle also by me.



    The original Beetle has my designed and 3D printed head, hands, and collar with attached wings. The wings are articulated and can turn up and down. It has a cast-a-way body and suit.



    The classic Beetle was purchased from Brian at Mego Meet 2019. Thanks Brian! I love him!



    The Fire Beetle is the same as the original, but has all the 3D printed parts in glow-in-the-dark plastic. It glows pretty bright when I turn the lights off.

    I had made the other two awhile ago but hadn't shown them here yet. After getting Brian's Beetle last weekend, I wanted to show off the set.

    Thanks for looking.

    They're marvelous, he's one of my favorite villains. I recall him fighting Daredevil and his upgrade in Avengers, too. Great job, especially the suction-gloves.
