    A custom Mego figure I'd like to see

    Did anyone watch Toonami in the early 00s? If so, you may remember an event they did called "Trapped in Hyperspace." The Absolution was infected by a sentient computer virus named Swayzak. Being probably one of the only fans of Swayzak out there, I'd like to see a custom Mego figure done of him (alongside TOM and Sara maybe.)

    This is what Swayzak looks like if you need a reminder:


    The rest of his body cannot be found online as the game it was in is currently only partially found, but I happen to know what it looked like and I'll describe it to you: he was slim around the middle like his torso was pinched in, had thin digitigrade legs and square feet with cablewires sticking out of them as toes.

    Hope someone can attempt this!

    Hard to make a custom with no reference material.

      Well, I did provide the image of the upper half and DID describe what his body looked like... maybe it's okay for you to use your imagination and go off what you think he looks like?

        The picture is very blurry. The description is not as good as a picture.

                Maybe if FTC does a Phantom Virus figure we could use that for Swayzak's body.

                Or we could use a Martian Manhunter body. When me and my friend were designing a full body for Swayzak back when I didn't know what his body looked like, we based it off Martian Manhunter.

                  I guess I have to use a CTVT skinny body, but what about the shoulder arches? And the boxy feet? The head would have to be 3D printed. I can't model good enough, so SOMEONE would have to do it.

                    The skinny body is nigh unusable.

                      Then what should I use? Swayzak had a skinny body with a pinched-in torso, legs thin enough to be sticks, and square feet.

                        I would use a normal body. Mego was never that concerned with 100% fidelity to the source material. But if the figure doesn't have a physique suitable for a normal Mego body, and it doesn't wear a cloth outfit, and it has a highly unique head... it is just not going to be that easy to do as a Mego figure. It sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Good luck!

                          The skinny body can be made mildly usable. You have to disassemble it and cut down the ball joint on the bottom of the torso which crowds the leg joints in the crotch piece. Still not great, but better.
