Here's my take on Darklon. One of my fav's as a child, I wanted to give him a better color scheme and make a few changes. Let me know what you guys think of him!

Thanks! Recipe is...Mask is a hollowed out vintage Darklon attached to a 25th Destro head, Mask strap is cut piece of 25th Serpentor skirt. Torso is 25th Zartan, with yet more pieces of Serpentor's skirt for the armor plus some random webgear piece. Upper arms are 25th Destro with right arm having Serpentor skirt pieces for the armor. Right lower arm is Serpentor's, left is Destro's modded and a Serpentor hand attached.Belt is a spytroops Destro's. Upper thighs are vintage Darklon modded to fit, lower legs are Zartan's with boot knife switched to the left and Destro's forearm grenades attached to the right. Paintball gun is vintage Darklon and fits in a holster I made from a SW figure on the back of his chest armor. Pistols are both vintage Zartan I think, and fit very nicely in the hip holsters.
I textured the torso, arms, left hand, and the back of the head and then tried to keep some of the ol neon green shirt drybrushed over Dark teal. |

I like it. I am a purest though and would have liked to see more of the original design but this is really good. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe too. My wife just left with her bff to go see Taylor swift so I ahve a night to customize. Maybe Darklon will finally get made docfairday style.

Yeah I can appreciate purity all around. I've always liked the Darklon fig but those colors urked me, and I didn't have nine million grenades to attach to his leg, lol. Just wanted to make mine, well, mine. Thanks, I am loving this customizing thing a lot!

I like your version of him. Never liked his green skin though, really odd character...
