    Mr. Fixit - Hulk

    I know....I don't make customs very often. Every once in awhile, I get an idea and I just can't help myself.

    A buddy of mine mentioned Mr. Fixit and I was racking my brain thinking of how I would get a suit for a Hulk - Muscle Body. Then it hit me. Star Trek 9' Playmates - Kirk - "A Piece Of The Action". So, I ordered one on Ebay to give it a try. I was pleased to see that I did not even need to modify the suit. Basically, by simply placing the neck plug in partially and not all the way in, I was able to get the right lift in the neck to fill out the suit just fine.

    Repainted the Mego Hulk Head.
    Used a CTVT Black Muscle Body and painted the forearms and fists. Drilled a hole in the hand to hold the machine gun.
    Used a CTVT Red Tie
    Used 12" Vintage GI Joe Dress Shoes

    Overall a very simple kit bash, with minimal paint and repurposing needed!

    Enjoy!

            Well, I put the picture on IMGUR as Photobucket is in no way getting $60 a year out of me. WOW. I cannot believe that!!

            What 3rd party site are people using now?

              Nicely done! Hulk has some great variants... but you don't see many customs of them.

                Nice one, great use of the Playmates suit.

                  First, thanks to you posting this on the Facebook groups I was able to view...AWESOME job on this figure!!! I will be stealing this recipe.

                  Second, I got fed up with Photobucket too and switched to Flickr but, their upload is wonky and sometimes won't let me upload pics so, I'm not sure what else is out there...I imagine Google has something and it probably works more reliably, I will have to look into a new 3rd party myself.
