    Thanks for all the kind remarks guys and gals. I've got a box coming from Anthony and will post when it arrives.

    I'm also going to add a Howard the Duck!
    Thanks for the info! Much appreciated. Definitely take some in-progress pix on your next project…

        He looks great! One of my favorite Marvel characters from the 70's!

          I love this guy! Best 8" Man-Thing I've ever seen! (as opposed to a Giant-Size Man-Thing)

                The torso is cast hollow. That's kind of unique for a custom body. Most people make their bodies solid so they are heavy and have to be drilled out to be assembled. Great job painting him, Derek!

                    Should never be surprised at your figures because your skills, but it's still uncommon to hit a grand slam, and that my friend is a grand slam.
