Check out this amazing custom of Prof Appel from the original A Real American Hero Comic Series, created by Hisstank.com forum member mswi!
For those of you that may be unfamiliar with the character, Prof. Appel is the father of Candy, who also happens to be Ripcord‘s girlfriend. In issue #43 of the original Marvel ARAH comic series, Candy was kidnapped by the Dreadnoks and Ripcord is in pursuit. We later find out that Appel, who is also a Crimson Guardsman, is unaware of the kidnapping. I recommend checking out the issue to find out what happens next!
As always, mswi’s custom work is top shelf, really capturing the character as one would imagine him. You can check out more images after the break!

As a big fan of the comics, there are lots of obscure characters I want to add to my collection. So here's one, been awhile so pardon the rust.

Looks great.
I have the head, but never saw the torso.
I guess mine will have to be the slim fast version.

Had no idea that torso existed. Awesome job on the head! Love this and all comic iterations of characters.
mswi says
Thanks guys! the head and torso are not listed on the site yet. should be up early in the new year. I get the sculpst prior to them being listed, so when you see me post something Like the Prof. here or a certain Gulag hating circus clown soon. you'll know that they'll be up in store in the very near future

This is really cool man. Accessories and playability!
Contraband says
Very cool! Looks store bought which is awesome.

Great job! It's got that factory-fresh look to it. The regular Crimson Guards all looked too anorexic. They needed a more normal sized torso.
I've gotta say though, the head instantly made me think of Jonathan Winters.

Very cool the torso looks perfect, I think the best head though is the older guy head from the most recent of the TRU exclusive rebel pilot packs.
CaliViper says
Wow. You got a post a link to the torso when it comes out. What paint did you use to get it to match the arms and legs?
