Groot (Comic-Based) (Marvel Universe) Custom Action Figure
Been wanting to make this guy for a while - but didn't want to shell out a ton of $$$ for the AIM fig. So when I finally found one at Target, I went right to work. I already had the head from the ML Rocket fig I found (I don't normally collect ML), so I just had to snag the BAF arms off eBay. Popped the Groot forearms onto the AIM body and noticed that the leftover Groot BAF upper arms would be perfect for "calves", so spliced those onto the lower legs, sculpted some "feet" (complete with hidden hinge joints so he can pose and stand up on his own,) tweaked the movie head so he was a little more expressive, and slapped on some paint and called it good. A little disappointed in the feet, though - I used ProCreate for the first time (I'm a die-hard Green Stuff user) and mixed it too soft, so the "roots" curl up too much for my liking - might fix that later on. But for now, this works well enough and serves as my "return to customizing" after several months. Now I just need to whip up a Gamora and a Phyla-Vell and maybe a Cosmo to round out the team. Thanks for looking!  Please wait... |
