    Correct Body for Wolverine?

    According to the Marvel bio, Wolverine is only 5'3" tall. A lion rock body is more in line with his height. Anyway, I picked up a head from Austin before he closed up shop and the head is actually on the smallish size, so it will work proportionally with a lion rock body. Only thing though, is the lack of muscular definition. I thought about a modified Jakks body....any ideas?

    A Bible Heroes Samson fig. is LR-size but very buff; it would work well IMO.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      ^Good suggestion. IMO, The lion rock body is far to skinny for an accurate wolvie. A Jakks wouldn't be bad either. What outfit are you planning?

        Once I decided on a body, I was going to contact Brian Leitner about coming up with an outfit.

                  I like the castaway body just fine, but I understand the height thing you're looking for:
                  Here's mine on a castaway body with a BL suit.

                    I had Brian make me a suit for a Titan sized body and just planned on stuffing a little cotton in the chest and thigh area, to make him look buffer. problem is there are no heads made for the smaller size.

                      I used a He-man Torso ..., Mixed with some other Custom Parts, and some legs I sculpted . I think He came out to be 7inches Tall . Which probably still is not completely accurate, However When He's next to an 8incher, it Is Extremely Noticable.
