    Whatever knows fear BURNS at the Man-thing's touch!

    Had some time today and finished him sooner than I expected.

    Last year some time, Lonnie Fisher posted some awesome work-in-progress pics of a Man-thing he was working on at the time. After some coaxing and sweet-talking , he agreed to send me the parts he had poured up to make this figure. He's not able to work on customs at this time due to some surgeries on his hand...wish you a swift recovery my friend.

    Anyway, all of the parts you see are from Lonnie. I added some additional sculpting and what-not, painted him up and added some mossy crap to him to give him the swampy effect. He is fully jointed and posable like a Mego.

    I didn't want as much moss on him - was going more for the Frank Brunner cover art of Man-thing #1. I included a pic of Mego spidey to give you an idea of scale.

                            FUn figure and so darn well done. It's about time you start getting some figures out. First the Wolfman now this. Keep them coming.

                            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.
