Get ready for a blast from the past, it's everyone's favorite annelid Earthworm Jim! I loved this game and the characters even more so I'm hoping I did Jim justice here. His upper torso is a DCU Bizarro with LCBH Savage Dragon arms, waist, and legs. His hands came from a DCU Mongul for the 3-fingers look and his head/gun was from an original Earthworm Jim toy by Playmates. Aves Apoxie Sculpt was used to create the upper collar, gloves, repair the chest, and sculpt the exaggerated toes. I used strips of plastic to make the belt and bandoleer straps. His head is on a full double-ball joint and can be attached to a bendy worm-body for his suit to whip around just like he did in the game! Earthworm Jim was a long time coming and I hope I nailed his look.

Wow! Nailed it perfectly I would say!

It's amazingly awesome how you explained what composes the figure, not like I would be able to ever come close to making something this rad. But it is definitely inspiring!

Excellent work! I always love a good video game figure, especially a retro one. I look forward to hopefully seeing more awesome customs from you in the future.

I'd kill for a new EWJ line. I bet it will take a new video game tho, just like Duke Nukem. He's back on the shelf with a figure but only because of a video game!

I loved that game. Was there any official Earthworm Jim figures released before?

Yeah there were several figures released in the mid 90's, though they were more based on the cartoon than the game. I've got pretty much all of them and think they're pretty good for the time.

First toy line where I got every figure I wanted!
