"How many times do I have to tell you, white boy? Gotham's sewers belong to Killer Croc."
Waylon Jones was born with a mutation giving him reptile skin, sharp claws and teeth. He was a champion wrestler who soon retired and then became one of Batman's most dangerous rogues.

With so many Arkham Crocs, I wanted to make Killer Croc in his more crocodile like form like when he got kicked around by Osiris. In fact, I almost made a Sobek. Anyone who has searched the internet for custom figures has probably seen this recipe used for a different character. I added more articulation, used different parts from my fodder, and sculpted/modded a ton of him.
The base used was a DCD Rogues Gallery Killer Croc. Luckily I had bought him for a few bucks back before the price blew up. I cut the torso just below the waist and used plastic epoxy to attach a broken Sota SF Blanka lower torso and legs I had lying around.. Then cut Blanka and Crocs legs mid thigh. I cut off and dremeled an early ML Thing figures hip joint and pinned then epoxy glued that to Blankas thigh. A peg hole was dremed in Crocs thigh to fit the peg for a mid thigh swivel and modded the knees to stand straighter. I removed Things ankle rocker and heated then cut off Crocs feet. The feet and ankles were dremeled to accept the new ankle rocker. Then I removed Crocs hands cut off the pegs and dremeled them out at the wrists on both ends. I used a shaved down UFC figures shoulder for a double ball jointed wrist. The head and tail I was lucky to find at Hobby Lobby. It's a Papo Spinosaurus. I chopped off the head and tail. Hollowed out the neck and inserted a ball jointed shoulder from some random figure. The biceps, forearms, neck, lower torso, thighs, ankles, wrists, and hands are re-sculpted either to fit in, cover, or bulk up. He can now do some very dynamic posing.

Hey anyone happen to know why my figure no longer shows up in the contest entries or why my trophy is absent from my account????

Yeah.. I noticed it too brother..it only happens if there are reported violations .. but anyways.. it still known you got 2nd place.. and we are your witness. You may report this to he Moderators.

Woah, no violations here! I reported it. I thought it was a glitch because I updated my figure. If someone foumd something wrong with my entry, I'd sure like to know! I play by the rules. Plain and simple! I may not be the best customizer but I hold my own. I have no reason to do anything auspicious. Now I'm annoyed! That had better be a glitch. I work hard to get these figures entered on time. If I'm being accused of something, I have a right to know. If that is the case... I deserve to be informed before they remove my entry.

Hopefully it's just a clerical error or something, 'cause your Croc looks great! You did some fantastic work.

davejuicebox- Thank you for the awesome compliment and the concern. I too hope it was a clerical error. I have retraced the steps I took when posting and the other sites I posted to the day after voting had ended. I can't find a basis for the removal of my entry. It has to be a glitch. I've been pm'ing to try to get my entry back up. Waiting to hear back. Thanks again bro!

Thanks NeCrollector! Much appreciated bro! I have mods looking into it. I have a funny feeling that if I was reported for something, I know whi would be behind it. Still thinking it was a glitch though.

Thank you all for voting and the wonderful comments. For those who haven't seen this guy before, didn't google it after reading the description or didn't read the description- this is based on a work by GrownNerd! I didn't put his name in my post because I have stated how much of a fan I am and didn't want to give away my identity!

Jan14- Thank you! Removing the head was a lot of work with the huge odd jaw joint. Plus I had to hollow out a place for a joint as the dino was solid rubber like plastic. Fittimg it all in place and sculpting, etc. I like it though.

It´s insane ... ok the head is just a little to big for the body, but the look of this thing is amazing! Would love to see this head on ... let´s say a ML Icon Venom body ... just for size comparison !
avatar

Friday, June 8, 2012
wallcrawler31- Thanks bro! I made the head removable and put it on an Icons Venom. I could try fitting a picture in but I can tell you it looks 2 sizes too small! LOL. A lot of it may have been the camera angles!
