Got an extra Zartan and decided to do something different...
Kept his chest and lower torso, head. Removed the hood and added his mohawk made from a misc piece of rubber DCUC Superman cape. Legs were from my parts box... I think they were from a Mars Trooper ? Arms were taken from a BnB figure. Vest from a Pit Commando. Then I read how the original figure had some kind of "snap punch" feature ala' He-Man... ie you turn him at the waist and he can snap back into place (and if his arm is outstretched, that's the "punch"). So.... Before I sealed up his chest, I tried putting a rubber band in place to get me the action-feature: This didn't quite work as well as I expected... the band snapped and I had a gluey mess and had to start over with new arms. Then I just decided to seal it up. Turns out that the rubber band bits that were left were enough to form a "cushion" between the upper and lower torso bits... and enable the snap feature! Prototype test video: Here's the rest of the photos: |
