    Kingpin size and other marvel suggestions?

    I'd love to hear what you guys have used for Kingpin in past comics. I'd like for him to be much bigger than standard megos like he was in the comics. I was thinking a 12" hulk body could work but maybe that is way too tall. Perhaps a 9" or 10" fat body could work but I am not familiar with any if someone has suggestions.

    He will be one of my last Marvel customs that I have been working on. Can't wait to share soon with everyone my whole Spider-man themed crew including Iceman, Firestar, Black Cat, Daredevil, Electro, Bullseye, Silver Sable and Kingpin! I basically have all the parts I need right now for these but if anyone can point me in the right direction for a Bullseye head that would be wonderful as well.

    whatabout a famous covers Sabretooth? You could just pad out the gut and it would need different hands.

        Nope he is supposed to be 6'7 from the comics with some versions being even more exaggerated.

          He always appeared short to me in the comics.

            a famous covers body "fattened up" like t-bolt said would be my suggestion too if you want him to be huge. they're bigger than mego but not too much bigger.
            I've used them for my man-thing, grizzly and etrigan customs.

              That may be my option. I was also thinking of fattening up a Star Trek Playmates figure since they are more proportionate all around and easier to customize.

                  The Playmates bodies are terrible, no wrist or ankle articulation. Famous Covers Sabretooth would be a better option

                    Would the Hasbro Penguin work? They were roughly the same size as FC and similar articulation.
