    Thunder Agents Dynamo...

    I am not a customiser of any sort. I consider myself more of a kitbasher if I make any attempt at making a custom. This is my first attempt at a custom in just about 10 years. First and only one I've ever attempted was a Jon Sable Freelance figure back in '04/'05. I've had the head for Dynamo painted and sitting in a draw for the last 4 or 5 years. Painted by the very talented Dave McCormick. Outfit is a crude kitbash of 2 Doc Mego Jumpsuits. Boots are from a Retro Martian Manhunter and the gloves are by CTVT. This is still an early attempt by me and hopefully I can do a better job on the outfit. The body is a Zica that I got from Seattle Ed (Thanks) The head that is on the figure was one of the 1st that Dave molded from my original Flash Gordon shrink that I did way back when. Not happy with the CTVT Conan Belt so I need to get a Doc Conan Belt in a Silver/Blue color. There will definitely be more in the Thunder Agents line of customs. Have ideas for Noman. The real pain is going to be The Iron Maiden. That mask is gonna be a pain...and that's why she's gonna be the last one done. Well here he is...Dynamo of the Thunder Agents:

                It didn't fit the Zica body. Had a really hard time trying to get it to lock into place.

                Thanks for all the compliments on the figure. I think the best thing about kitbashing this figure was the fact that the retro Martian Manhunter that I bought will serve a dual purpose. Stole the boots from the figure and the head of Martian Manhunter will serve as the head for Noman. Probably going to have to do a slight repaint of some sort.

                Have another custom brewing that is completely unrelated to Superheroes. Have to do a little tweaking of the hair...but the outfit should be dead on.

                        Already eyeing the possibilities of the outfit for Mentor. I think the 2 tough ones are going to be Iron Maiden and The hood for Noman. It's got to be sort of like what Spectre's hood is supposed to look like and that is covering his forehead to the point where you see his eyes and a small portion of his face. It's going to be a long haul...but I really am stoked to keep going with this line.
