Dr. Mindbender looks great! I dig the BFS bald head with the sculpted mustache, and the added cloth patch! Very inventive!

Big Ben, Cross Country & Mindbender all look great!
Think the sculpting came out looking really good on Mindbender and the BFS wrist armor works great for him. Probably my favorite touch on him, just tops of a great build. Great paint job on Cross Country and you always do solid takes on Big Ben. Still need to finish my v4. Have him built but was having trouble getting the bullets just right, might try a backpack to get them tighter like you did. I assume you are aware that you need to cut the bullet belts shorter and then glue the ends together to fit properly around the torso, a backpack does help to keep them in place and cover up the join. Thanks, sculpting is not my strong point but was reasonably happy with the head, except the monocle which does not look like a monocle (but then neither did the v1 figure really) and after painting was not as flat as I thought it was. I wanted to use one of the new sculpt Dr Mindbender heads but they did not fit on the BFS neck post. Although using the blank head did mean the skin tone matched perfecty. |

Thanks, Dr Mindbender is not my favourite Cobra but I do like him and think he looks great now in my Cobra display. Those BFS gauntlets do work well on him. I have made some slight tweaks to the figure, including shortening the harness so it does not sit so low on his waist, I might take some more photos when I have acquired some vintage accessories to go with him.

Still waiting for the great Marauder restock, but I still need to scratch that customising itch so I have added to my Dreadnok team with Torch. He wasn't available in the UK back in the day but he appeared in the comics and on the packaging so I always wanted him. Again no MTF in this custom it uses Boss Fight and Zombie Lab parts (in line with most of my Dreadnoks), I did use this custom to practice some sculpting skills (including the head and skull necklace) and I am happy with how it turned out.
