Not much of a custom, just a slight repaint. But it's amazing what a little bit of paint will do.
Here's a look at the original (yes it's a press photo but those of us that got this figure know that he looks basically identical) And here he is with a little bit of paint: All I did was brighten up the red and painted the black part at the torso joint. Honestly, to me, it's like night and day with the new paint. Let me know what you think! |

Much better! When I saw him in person I was pretty disappointed with way the paint looked. When I finally pick him up I will most likely do exactly what you did. Nice job man!

looks good. i find myself re-painting a lot of the MU figures (mostly making the black be black instead of blue) I might try that red update though!

I want that head. It would make a great wizard custom.
