TMP Iron Man

[sprytel]

Is the I.M. helmet from a Pez? I have been working on a Tony Stark figure and can't quite get the helmet to fit over the Ivanhoe head. Thx for posting the pix and the Nail polish tip! I've come across the same red paint problem.

Also, you might want to experiment with a Zica body.

Simply using a dremeled out Pez dispenser is too small for Ivanhoe. I had to take two Pez dispensers, one for the front and one for the back, and join them together.

I erred slightly on the side of roomy, which gives it that "football helmet head" effect... which normally would bug me to no end, but actually kind of makes sense for Iron Man.

If I get a chance, I'll post a better pick. I did not do a whole lot to disguise the seam, honestly (other than sand & paint). I was worried I'd wash out the little grilling details that were on the original Pez sculpt. So I'm sure it could be improved upon.

Thx for filliing me in! I'm going to try this. The local comic shop has the Iron Man pez heads.

I'm really digging this I have two of those smarties type Ironman heads and i have been trying to figure out how to do IM this is great and gives me an idea of which direction to take......nice job so far

A bit more progress to share... It wouldn't be Tony Stark without an "arc reactor" in his chest.

I plan to put a decal over the bulb to add a bit more detail, but this should give you the basic idea of the direction I am headed...

Your going all out on this one.

Apparently, Photobucket thinks naked action figures are "naughty"?!?!? Lol!

Let's try this again... from the waist up this time, to keep it family friendly:
