This entry is mostly leftover and cast-off parts (couldn’t tell you where the vest came from). This is sort of a “poor man’s” Cover Girl. My vision of Cover Girl will always be dominated by her appearance in issue #16. Her depiction (and, of course, the Wolverine) left an indelible impression on me.
Incidentally, the depiction of Torpedo in that issue pretty much turned me off of him as a badass. All I can think about when I think of Torpedo was him shambling around in his flippers. COVER GIRL (V1): 1984

The head doesn’t look badly painted to me.

Oddly enough, this is my first ever Iron Grenadiers custom. I just happened to get a freebie head from Coby at Avacslab one time...and I had no idea who it was supposed to be, so I went to Yojoe and found out it was General Mayhem. Well, I am not one to let a good head go unused, so I figured I would try to build a figure around the head. General Mayhem Version 1 had a lot more gold on him...but he looked kinda tacky, so I opted to move over to the more stately 2015 Joecon V2 version. Here is my rendition of General Mayhem.
GENERAL MAYHEM (V2): 2015

General mayhem and Cover Girl are both really nice. That’s an MTF head on Cover Girl? Good times for collecting when a “poor man’s Cover Girl” looks that good!

Nice job on both CG and General Mayhem. That Marauders head works really well

I love what you did with Cover Girl and her badly painted head/hair!! If you consider that badly painted, then your perfectly painted version of a head/hair must be a high value art piece displayed as part of a striking collection of a world famous gallery!
Iron Grenadiers General Mayhem has always been my favorite and you're executed that one beautifully. Well done! |

Spirit, Leatherneck, Cover Girl and General Mayhem are all winners! Would never have imagined seeing giraffe pants Leatherneck, but you nailed the look! Really dig the Spirit, which I had completely forgot about his existence in the original ARAH line. Cover Girl and Mayhem are faithful remakes, easily recognized as the source material. Good stuff again, bro!

Just thought I would put up a WIP while I’m waiting for the restock.
This figure still needs: Gold-colored shoulder armor Yellow-green sword scabbards Left-handed pistol holster and gun Black edging on the leotard NINJA FORCE SCARLETT

Looks like Shana went on a crash diet before her wedding to Snake Eyes and now her top is too big(for her to wear).😂
For a W.I.P. you’re off to a great start.
