Marvel Universe Hercules
 

Presenting the 7th fig for my Series 4 Marvel Universe Avengers Riverspoons Custom Series! - Hercules!

I came across the Herc issue #3 while reading the Fear It Self comics series, from that issue Herc wears his new costume, after reading I was inspired and challenged to make that costume on MU scale. Compared to the classic look of Herc in my opinion I find this new costume more fit in the modern marvel world (hehe I guess thats why they updated it! ) I really like his accessory, though I skipped on making the Helmet hanging on back of his belt. I found that quite out of place.

I used my spare Secret Wars Thor head and a Piledriver for this project, I used rubber sheets on some parts like the belt & straps. Metal sheet base for the lion on his shoulder, shield as well as the sword. The Shield of Perseus has a custom sculpted Medusa as well! and everything else is sculpted.

It was really an ambitious custom, I'm happy in a way I got every detail that has to be put in. Thru my best effort
it all paid off on the finished product! =)

HA! Great as always- love seeing your work in progress shots- that really inspires me.
How did you get the tops off Piledriver's boots? Did you just heat a blade and go to town or what? Looks really smoothly done.

Thanks Jason, yeah WIPs shots are cool. It clearly shows how much effort are done.

As for the Piledriver's boots, I used a normal cutter to scrape the excess part, and smoothen up with a dremel.

Just reading Herc #3, now I want this figure. Hahaha

damn 'spoons that is a dope ass figure!! good work man as always!

Nice custom work.

I heard that comic was cancelled, but the costume lives on in your custom.

Great work.
