    Madmarva's Clayface, aka Clayface mk. 3

    I was commsioned by madmarva to make another Clayface to join his pile of custom figures, so I figured I'd do progress pics to show the process. This first one is just the body with the head dremeled out to accept the eye balls and open up the jaws to put in his teeth.

    The body is a Urban Icons thin body figure with different feet and head.

      Wow! That body is crazy!
      What figure does it come from?

      Looking forward to the progression!

        Citizen Urban Icons, its a Hip hop fashion doll? I use it for all my big guys, really great articulation, and the rubber band Mego figure makers could take a hint from it, its strung, but with springs and s hooks.

          eyes, teeth and magic sculpt around the face. Body suit on, I purposely made the crotch low to shorten the legs a bit to get the proportions of the cartoon design. I will add padding to the shirt to bulk up the back and shoulders

                In case anyone is curious, so far 48 glue sticks have given their lives for this custom.
