    Vinny0026 Fantastic Four Ben Grimm & The Thing Alter Ego 2-Pack

    Fantastic Four Ben Grimm & The Thing Alter Ego 2-Pack!

    I asked Toyroom to make me a Alter Ego Card for Ben /Thing a while back - as always he came through with flying colors! I had not had a chance to finish the figures until last night.

    When making something to be as strong as a rock - you normally start with using Bricks!! LOL

    Ben Grim was made on a Doc Mego Body - with a Brick head from EMCE -(Thanks Steve!!)
    I made the shirt and tie to match the card (Card had blue stripes - but I felt green would look better)

    The Thing is an original Mego Thing - I just re-painted his head to match the suit - paint dried a little lighter than it looked but still blends nice.
    I added Doc Mego arms and painted them to match the suits and went with the black in between the rocks like on the suits. I went kind bold on the hands. I tried the same with the head but it was to over powering so i washed the head clean and repainted it again with thinner markings thanks to the advice of Vman. And it loks a lot better.

    And again the "Fantastic" cardbacker is from Toyroom - Thank you Anthony

    Also through in some shots with him loose and in a Toyroom box before I stuck him to the card

    Thanks for looking
    Enjoy!

              That looks too awesome! Thing looks really good with the paint apps. Brick makes a great Ben too. Love the custom clothes and card.

                            Absolutely awesome Vinny!!! Brick as Ben is brilliant and your repaint of the Thing head and hands are magnificent. Two gorgeous figures coupled with Anthony's fantastic card art. Superbly done.
