Is that a Mcfarlane Thing? I have one of his from that movie with the "spider-head" creepy thing.
I actually gave it away because it was too creepy.

One of my favorte movies- and the prequel opens in Octobe (I think!)

Someone even made a full sized resin model if the spider-head but NO WAY would I have that in my house!

Great job man!

Thanks!
The Wrecker and AIM soldiers are $6 at BBTS...maybe time to order a couple more (it's so addictive!).

Got a pic? What colors are they in the game?

I just started tweaking my (Cap movie) Hydra goons the same way- I took the pouch-belt from an extra Cyclops and gave it to a (comic colored) Hydra goon, dithed the brown harness and added a Hydra decal emblem for his chest and lastly some inkwash to bring out details...Total custom time- 30 minutes!
I'll post pics of that guy tomorrow!

SOMETHING AWESOME I LEARNED:
If you use Testor's Dullcoat on figures, they look 1000% cooler- it takes off the plastic shine and makes even untouched figs look custom painted- works on plastic only (so no rubber capes, etc.) but it's SUCH an improvment!
That hydra goon I mentioned looks a million times cooler now that his unifiorm looks like cloth instead of plastic!

NOw is the time to build up that army- I really think these currently common goon types will be the hard ones to get in future years- like how the old SW tormtrooper pilots were for a long time.

The old Soldier three-pack was pretty great- but they really should have used the AIM guy instead of that silly ninja (no offense, ninja lovers).

Get the Clone wars ARF Trooper (the green and grey clad one with removable helmet) for an awesome generic trooper- I've got one with the extra head Beachhead comes with 9helmet/gas mask) and a jet pack- once I repaint him and add a SHIELD decal, he'll be a "capekiller" from CW!

For army builders, we still need Ultimatium goons and SHadow Council goons too...and the HYDRA elite troopers with the WWI style helmets and trenchcoats...
We could also get Doombots (the kind that dont look like Doom- purple Sentinel looking things).

And robots- lots of generic kilbots!
