    The invincible iron man mark ?!?

    So, this is NOT new Iron Man custom. This is actually one of the oldest "sorta" complete customs that I ever did. I used to be kind of embarassed by him, but he's really grown on me lately. I don't need the parts for anything, so I'm not going to tear him down, but I don't think I'm going to spruce him up, either. I AM going to do a new Iron Man (I was going to use that Pez from the last pic, but I got this freaking AWESOME head from Black Knight...)

    Cloth Mask (not the first one actually, but after the, uh, craft foam one, I went a different way...)



    I can't remember (this was YEARS ago...), but it was either gold spandex or this head that inspired me to do this in the first place.



    THIS was the original helmet I made outo of craft foam!



    I'd LIKE to say that I was inspired by COMMANDO CODY! But, I wasn't. I just happened to notice a similiarity years later.



    If you line the helmet and the face just right, you can see his eyes through the eye slits!



    I would have KILLED to have this Pez dispenser back then. I've held onto it forever, but I'm not going to use it for this. Oh, and his panties are showing and the chest thing fell off somewhere along the line!



    Stay tuned for my next attempt at the golden avenger!

    Cool figure! I actually like the craft foam mask better, feels more robotic. Plus, I think it's awesome how you can see his eyes through the slits!

      you should really channel that craft foam ability into a Commando Cody head.

        That really isn't that bad. You should see some of the stuff I had for early customs. I used to paint the customs on white tee shirt type material. I literally had to saw the material off later on down the road after I learned how to make body suits. You did a pretty good job with that old craft foam. I've only used the stuff once or twice.

            Hey gary - I think he looks great - I also like the foam head. for some reason I'm drawn to it.

            The pez helmet works great for the look of him holding it or on a mego body.
            cant wait to see what you convert him into - should be great!
