This is one of those characters that I've been asked about in one way or another since about the time I first started making figures. Of course, back then I would never have attempted a character that needed that much sculpt work on his head. These days, however, I've feeling a bit bolder, so I finally got around to making him. I think most know who he is, so I won't delve into too much history. Best known for leading the New Warriors, and being one of the New Warriors that died in the explosion at Stamford. Always saw him becoming an Avenger myself. But his younger brother is apparently running around with the title now.
For the most part, fixing this guy up was easy. Straight repaint, pop on a belt, and glue Dr Strange's belt to his leg. Even sculpting the knee pad portions on his leg wasn't too difficult. Then, I grabbed the head. I took a deep breath and worked on it day by day. Sculpted up different portions each day so I wouldn't risk damaging anything. Then sanded it all down so it would look like one solid addition. Whew. Tedious. But I have to admit, it came out great. Recipe: Body - MU Bullseye Batons - MU Daredevil Head - GI Joe 25th Storm Shadow Lower Arms - Iron Man 2 Classic Iron Man Belt - MU Scarlet Spider Leg Strap - MU Dr Strange

Yes Draven with a black custom for the win!
Is there a reason you went with green stuff on the mask instead of painting it? You almost have the whole street squad! Just need Sleepwalker

The helmet has always looked like the red portions were raised. No matter what image I checked out. And at some times I get very ocd about the designs. So, I knew if I made him I absolutely had to sculpt the additions. Think it looks a lot better than painting it up straight. Thanks!

Looks good, but different than the one I remember. When I stopped reading New Warriors, Night Thrasher was still using the skateboard.

Thanks mate. Yeah, I've been referring to him as Dwayne Michael Taylor, the original Night Thrasher, but I forgot that this design is the one used by his younger brother who took up the moniker after Civil War. My reference picture even has him standing over his brother's grave. lol I just wasn't paying attention to that when I was making the post.
