Scorpion (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
I actually like what Hasbro was attempting to do with the Scorpion figure they gave us... but his scale felt off to me around other villains and Spiderman. I decided to update him with the Tiger Shark body. I removed the tail and found he had a perfect hole in the backpack(after cutting away that huge peg!) to line up with the hole in the back of the figure. I inserted a shelf pin and glued. This tail is great because it has the "bendy wire" in it. I painted everything with new greens. Painted the face because Hasbro did actually sculpt the mask lines as if they intended to have the face skin color? Not sure. The most challenging part was all the line work. Adding the black lines was exhausting and I still wanna go back and touch up some of the lines and try to thin some out. Overall I like the way he displays much better now. He doesn't look like some puny guy with a huge tail anymore. Hes not smaller than Puma, Kraven, or Prowler which just seems better. :-)  Please wait... |

The starting point.
Had to sand down the joints, very tight on this figure and paint rub would be an issue. Here you can get an idea of how he scales up compared to before with Spiderman as reference.
