Riddick V2

[Weapon XIX]

I've been kinda quiet on the customs front lately but I'm diving back in with some new customs courtesy of my Retaliation fodder!

First up is my updated Richard B. Riddick.

I love the character of Riddick and I thought about updating my old version of http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/50574-richard-b-riddick.html but hadn't been entirely inspired to do so until I saw pics of the 3 pack Roadblock. I couldn't help but be inspired and this is what I came up with.

Obviously I wanted to give the figure a little added articulation while also taking his height down a notch - the Rock bed Roadblock is so damn tall - so I used the lower legs of Arctic Destro. I liked the design and thought it really added some sci-fi flare to the overall design.

I thought about using my old Riddick's head but got kind of attached to the Rock head after I stripped away all the paint and sanded down the beard sculpt, so I kept it instead.

I love this man! One of my favorite all time movies. You nailed it!

Nice spotting there Roadblock really suits Riddick.

[Weapon XIX]

Thanks everyone! Glad you like him!
bigtrain2681 - the arm straps are from McFarlane's Prince of Persia Dastan figure. I toyed with the idea of WWE BnB wrestler's pads, but stuck with these since they seemed more sci-fi to me.

[bigtrain2681]

This is fantastic. And what a good job on the head! What were the wrist straps from if you don't mind me asking?

[ROBULUS]

I really like this fig, particularly with the goggles on. I think with them off it's a tad too Rock, but when they are on it works perfectly. Awesome stuff man. I wonder if they'll every make any more Riddick films?

[Vegas]

Very nice. I didn't even see the potential of the body. ! It's about as perfect a choice as we got!

[ilzuccone]

looks real good. the riddick series is so good.

[Weapon XIX]

Thanks everyone! And ROBULUS, they are making a third movie which should be out next spring. I think it's just called Riddick and I can't wat to see it!

[TR1ER]

Nice you did a hell of a job man.
