The Astounding Animal-Man!

[thunderbolt]

I am trying to update some of my older customs and figure out a few new tricks along the way. Buddy Baker was one of my first customs and was really in need of a redo. The head and body are a Hasbro Aquaman. Its not too visable in the pics, but its a sepperate pants and shirt. I used the same stuff I used on my Aquaman shirt to try and get the chainmail look from the old comics. The belt has pouches so A-Man can carry around animal DNA samples to harness their powers.

It looked like in the Strange Adventures appearances he had black gloves and boots so I went with that.

The goggles and aviator helmet are removable (so expect to see Spysmasher eventually)

and hanging out with The Atom

Cool helmet, but that outfit looks awesome

I really, really, really like this design. That is just a terrific custom. I would have loved to see a little more orange under the chainmail as opposed to gold metallic, but it works great as is. I am digging your style and original visions of these characters. I'm a fan.

The custom is cool but what really struck me was this:

The belt has pouches so A-Man can carry around animal DNA samples to harness their powers.

That's a neat idea that I don't think I've seen done in the comics....and WHY NOT? It just makes sense....

I always wondered if he did do that, after all how often is an elephant around when you need him?

T bolt I think this is my all time favorite figure you have made so far. I love the retro look. Outstanding simply outstanding.
