Dr. Mindbender
The preview of the Defense of Cobra Island set promised a perfect Mindbender, but what we go was a poorly imagined shadow. Thanks to the Rise of Cobra series, I found the perfect replacement torso in the Arctic Storm Shadow. I filled in the sword slashes and the torso works perfectly. For the lower arms, I cut the forearm armor off of Destro, then drilled it out and mounted the elbow joints from a Storm Shadow. I dremeled off the pouch on Duke's right leg and added the holster strap. I sculpted on the codpiece using Apoxie, painted it black, then drybrushed it silver to bring out the detail. Recipe: Head, suspenders: Dr. Mindbender Torso, upper arms: ROC Storm Shadow Lower arms: modified Iron Grenedier Destro Upper legs: Duke Lower Legs: Cobra Viper |

Psycho Mantis
I picked up The Doctor from the Rise of Cobra line and when I took off his coat I was surprised to find the perfect base for Mantis. It couldn't have been better if a Hasbro sculptor intended it. Recipe: Body: The Doctor Upper arms: Ripper Mask: Shockwave The Ripper upper arms are a bit bigger than I wanted, but I don't mind. I made a second set of "psychic puppet" hands from the sith lightning hands from a Count Dooku. I painted the skin in a pale flesh, then did a brown wash to bring out the details, then did a light tan drybrush. The rest of the figure was painted gloss black and the straps painted a flat black. |
