I really want a Bane custom as I'm so disappointed with the crappy 3.75" offering we got and I love the dude, not that you'd ever guess, right? There's a few outfits he wore, but I deally I want his iconic bat-breaker scene outfit with the bare arms and body armour.
My options are these:- 1) Make it myself, from scratch with the parts I have available and learnt to sculpt as I go. 2) Hire a customiser and accept the wallet-shot. Well, I got as far as selecting some shock troop legs as they look the closest to the customised Crye pants Bane wears. Painted with the grey and blue, they'll be spot-on. The problem is the torso- do I a) find a troso and sculpt the vest etc or b) make him bare-chested and make a removable vest? I dunno... I reckon the Resolute Roadblock buck is probably the best for the torso, either way. Arms could be tricky but I think the Retaliation Roadblock arms from series 1 might cut it, then maybe some sculpting for the gauntlet on his right hand. The mask... either I could try and modify the pre-existing one or buy a cast... What do you guys think? Here's a pic of Bane in the desired outfit for anyone who hasn't seen or can't remember.

Literally just now tried shock troop legs on the resolute roadblock and they don't look right, so would probably go with the POC Zartan buck. Given that, there's a fair chance I'd use the Marauders Mercer arms... Unsure? What you reckon?

Preliminary parts test v1
Zartan torso, Bane head, shock troop legs, JP arms I don't like the forearms. Too big, but hard to find suitable replacement thus far

Testing v2
Am using the Burnout torso as the pre-existing straps will be a nice base starter guide for Bane's vest strappings, probably. Also, the lower legs remove the unnecessary pocket bits , smooth out the boots more like his actual ones and add just a smidge of height. Maybe some MU Thor arms? Not sure, really... Thoughts, guys?

I have tried using an MU Thor upper body, but the joe legs looked really short and puny when attached :-/ I did give it a go lol. That vest idea seems interesting though...

Iggy- You can get a really nice sculpt from Stocos28 of the head and torso already finished. I hope this helps you out.
