It was worth it considering he didnt have hair, and had molded shorts and boots. Its my first hand painted custom so dont be too harsh

Nothing wrong with that first custom- far better than my first custom was!
What he needs is another (darker!) coat of paint, touch up the areas that wore off there and shade it with drybrushing- believe me, a custom can go from D- to A plus with just some TLC.
A lot of what he needs is just paint- and painting his antennas will really help his look.
The fig's sculpt is great...though his face looks like Ultron just disintegrated his puppy!
You can fix that with pant though- just angle the top of his mask's eye-openings slightly downward toward the nose so he'll look more pissed than suicidal.

That idea is so brilliant that I'm doing the exact same thing with a Randy Orton fig- and making a Masters of Evil Goliath from another!

Really, dont get discouraged- the worst that can happen is you decide to repaint it into somethng else- you can make one of Kang's Growing Man androids, a Kree Sentry, Titan (from the Imperial Guard) ...Marvel's got a lot of size-changers!

Anyone know a long-haired (but clean shaven) wresteler fig that I can use for Titan?
Nothing so unfair as a guy that grows as big as a skyscraper and can freakin fly!
