    Killer CROC!!


    I found this really cool T-Rex bitey head toy at Dollar Tree and had him around for a while and decided to revisit Croc and give him a more croccy look like something out of a 50s Horror movie like the Alligator People. Mostly trying to capture a fun monster vibe with him and not be so serious. Had to shorten the jaws and resculpted the brows, nostrils and teeth, tongue and spines are craft foam.. Body is a Urban Icons with a stretch velvet padded top with slopped on thick acrylic paint and drybrushed. Hands and feet are ML Hulk.

    looks cool tb! and I love the action shots.

    I would love to see pics of how you display these in your house. They must take up a lot of space with this large scale.
    but must look awesome set up.

        I love this awesome lighthearted interpretation of the Croc, he works a lot better this way then as a sadistic deformed cannibal. I also love the beer gut. <3

          he looks great! I love the head you used. I also dig how you fleshed the body out too.

                    I can see some of the fun, slow-wittedness of the Animated Series Croc in there too. "HIT HIM WITH A ROCK!"

                    That being said, he'd be one scary mo-fo to bump into in a sewer!

                    Well done!

                            Thanks guys, I have a ball making him, and some of what I tried will probably make it to a Hulk tweak.
