Once again, my friend Otto, requested a custom of a rock band mascot (I made Somewhere in Time Eddie from Iron Maiden already) from me. This time he wanted Vic Rattlehead from Megadeth. He provided the body (Professor X from the Marvel Universe line) and head and arms from Montezuma Skeleton. I was able to modifiy the Monte hands and attach them to GI Joe trooper wrists, allowing them to rotate. The head was swapped with a casted head from OnyxPhoenix that I modified. Now for the fun... Looking at the figure in the suit with the skull, appeared bland! Vic needed something, he needed an ax! Otto stated that someone was going to make a plastic flying V, I told him not to worry about that. Instead, I hand crafted a flying V guitar out of coraplast, wood and wire (yep, the guitar has real wire strings). Otto had mentioned adding Chaly (Charlie) from Overkill to his roster. Since I did not use the Monte skull on Vic, I decided to give Otto a surprise. The wings, horns, fangs and eyes were handmade with greenstuff epoxy. As always, Otto was blown away with the work. I even made a guitar case to protect the Flying V during shipping.

Rattle Head!
Love it! Prepare the patients scalp To peel away Metal caps his ears He'll hear not what we say Solid steel visor Riveted cross his eyes Iron staples close his jaws So no one hears his cries The skull beneath the skin Now your drawn and quartered Your bones will make the x Symbol stands for poison And it's chained to your head And as we fold your arms To make the holy cross We cross the crucifix Religion has been lost The skull beneath the skin

The Flying V is based on the Angel of Death design!

I actually prefer the Explorer body design myself but that would be for a Metallica custom. The V is so Iconic. Rhodes and Mustaine made that the official "metal" guitar.
Do you have any pics of the SWiT Eddie?

This is the link, you seen it already!!! But look again! )) Oh, and even though Vic Rattlehead's suit is blue, I did repaint it. I just happened upon the right color mix from Charles Xavier. There is a slight color difference if you look carefully.
