I'm sure many of you have seen the images going around of the Shadow King kitbashed using the Monster Venom hands...which looks great but puts you in a position to have to buy two additional MV BAF arms just to pull it off, which gets pricey.

Well...I discovered today that you can also use the the set of monster hands that came with the Venom/Madness Marvel Select figure. The peg fits PERFECTLY inside the Kingpin's wrist ports, and stay put. Granted, you lose on the swivel articulation, but it still rotates and you make up for it by getting a set of hands that works on Wilson that you may not have been using on the Select in the first place, saving you a few bucks. You can easily touch them up some for something more permanent with a purple wash, or leave them as is. I think they actually work pretty good either way.



Can't wait to get my Hoverchair Chuck to see how it comes out as a completed package, but that's gonna be a while since I got so many preorders scheduled to hit my pile of loot in the next 2 months or so...

I'm planning on using whatever hands I can get. I know I'm getting 2 Skullbusters from the X-Men wave, he comes with an arm and hand. They look like they'll work too. I plan on trying to paint the hands to match the color of the Shadow King face. I just need to track down another Kingpin who seems pricey at the moment. So we'll see if I end up doing this. Anyone have a good lead on a Kingpin?
