[CUSTOMS] Spawn – by Dravenheart

From the breath-taking workbench of Dravenheart

Following Haunt, I was asked to fix up a Spawn. I knew this day was inevitable, but thankfully it was requested without the giant boot. I hate that thing. The design changed here and there as we went along, before finally coming to this. Was actually fun, and I’m looking forward to remaking him again at some point. Making a version with spikes on his lower legs and the chain belt.

The cape held me up initially. I’ve seen a ton of different approaches, and I just wasn’t sure how to go about it. But, then I saw some footage from the old SNes Spawn game, and decided to approach him in the same way. So, I started with the Grim Reaper cape, cut the collar down, and added the collar from Dr Strange. Then, I added sculpt to give it the proper height and look. The body itself was just a repaint with sculpt added to his upper leg and upper arm. Then, I used some toothpicks for the spikes. A simple enough rendition, but still a fun first endeavor into the character.

Check out this year’s Lego Toy Fair coverage brought to us by Van Hammer.

So Toyfair came again this year and with it lots of cool new lego. First of all I’d like to credit the pics in this thread to figures.com, toynewsi and brickset for the images. Go check those sites when you’re done reading they’ve got great coverage of this year’s toyfair. Without further ado let’s get this rolling. I won’t cover the girls themes because I doubt most of the guys on this site would really give a hoot.

2015 JoeCon Reveal : 12″ Exclusive Figure

Feb 092015
 

frontpage toy news

“This year’s 12” Convention set is unique as it features a vintage styled reproduction figure and uniform ALONG with an additional NEW uniform based on the patterns and tooling for the reproduction uniform set! Inside the larger presentation box, you will find this excellent reproduction 12” G.I. Joe Adventurer with a reproduction of the “red top” box he came packaged in back in 1969. Only two figures were offered in the line that year, as G.I. Joe was transitioned from the original military line to the Adventure Team line of the 1970s. He comes with his tan pants, white tee shirt, boots, shoulder holster with revolver, dog tag and cap. The tan cap and tee shirt alone are highly sought after by vintage G.I. Joe collectors. The box for this figure is also difficult to come by. In the 2015 set, they all are offered as licensed reproductions for the very first time.”
