Hey kids, your pal Dolemite here. I've been working hard on a whole load of customs, and I'm excited to finally start posting them. Here's the first of many...let's start small (literally!) and work out way up, shall we?
With the latest shenanigans concerning the distribution of the Kre-O line, it seems to me that the future of the brand is some considerable doubt at the moment. It's heartbreaking because the Kre-O Joes are awesome, but at least most of my favorite characters have gotten the building block treatment by now. One glaring omission, however, is a certain chainsaw-wielding Dreadnok; while the rest of the core group of Zartan's lackeys are accounted for, I was worried that we might never see Buzzer, so I took it upon myself to make my own. Swapping Kre-O and Lego pieces isn't exactly hard, but the thing that elevates this a smidge above the level of a mere kitbash is the ponytail Lego hair that I found, which I had to paint yellow (it was originally grey). Hope you like!

Very nice work. I'm glad you included a picture of buzzer as well. I doubt anyone here would know who he was or what he looks like otherwise. ;)

That came out so dope, man! Other than the main body, can I ask where the head, hair and accessories came from? I'd like to test my luck and try to replicate it.

I really like the hair choice.
Like you I'm more than a little worried we might not get more of the Kreo Joe figures so I did my own figure, but my hair choice was not nearly as good. I think I might use that head as well since the smirk fits so nicely and with a bit paint I could go mirrored sunglasses. |

Thanks. And no way I could paint sunglasses that small. If you pull off the mirrored shades you totally have to post the results.
