Figures Dr. Venom

nighthawk · 12-10-2018, 01:38 PM

When I saw Mr. Negative, I already had in my mind that I want to make Dr. Venom. Turned out to be a lot harder than expected due to Hasbro changing the way the hip joint is made so I had to do quite a bit of modification to make those legs fit. Originally thought it would be just a simple paint job. Anyways, I like how it turned out in the end and it's much better than my previous one that just used a white coat Rex figure.

Together with my 'crazy drug dealer' custom.

Nice!!! What head is that?

I may have to do this as the Club version is using dated parts. Instead of messing with the hips, I may use the blue legs from MU Chameleon and paint the pelvis blue.

I didn't have an MU Chameleon or else I would have done that too as I think he needed blue legs more than black ones...haha.

The head is a Governor Tarkin. Not sure which version, but I think it was from Revenge of the Sith toy line.

Probably the best custom Dr.Venom that I've seen. Nice work!

Yeah that Gov. Tarkin head is perfect for Dr. Venom.

I know the Mr. Negative hip joints pop on & off. What exactly did you have to do to make the Arctic Cobra Commander legs fit?

The hip area is too tight. I had to shave down the peg and make the hip socket bigger.

Shit, that's awesome. Now I need to buy about ten Mr. Negatives. Off to Target I go!

Great custom! Great idea using those arms to keep him 100% poseable.
