    BAMF!

    Can't take much credit for this one. I've wanted to do X-men for a long time but never got around to it. Then I saw what Brian Leitner was doing with his X suits, so I bought a couple at Megomeet last year. He was making them EXACTLY as I had wanted them, so I figured why re-create the wheel.

    Jim Hampton sculpted this cool Nightcrawler set (head, hands and feet) and I got a set. I contacted Brian who hadn't done a crawler suit yet and he created this. All I had to do was paint it and put it together.



    I was in Texas not too long back and met up with Jim. He gave me his Nightcrawler molds, so once we get it together, Paul and I will have these parts available, as well as a few other Hampton items.

            Beautiful, Dave. How goes the physical therapy? Is custom therapy part of the doctor's orders?

                  That looks great. That may be the way I go with that figure. It is perfectly Mego.

                              Brian made it part of the suit. Sewed material over a pipecleaner so it's fully poseable, then took a piece of vinyl and glued it on for the tip.
