I started collecting Marvel Legends late in the game and the old Toy Biz Hank Pym Ant-Man has always been pricey on the secondary market. Now he's in the triple digits with the movie out and interest at an all-time high. Boo to Hasbro for not giving us a new Classic Ant-Man or at least reissuing the old one. When I saw the Walgreens Exclusive Eric O'Grady Black Ant figure in Toyark's SDCC coverage I immediately knew I was going to customize it into the Hank Pym version. I sculpted the bootcuffs on his calfs but aside from that, I just repainted him with acrylic paints. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get him back together if I took him apart the knees, elbows, wrist and ankles. So, that's why I just left them alone. I'm sure a better customizer than me could pull it off, but I've never had luck putting joints back together after sanding them down and painting them. I always just ruin the paint and it gums up the joint. The wrists and ankles are unfortunate, but the knees and elbows don't bother me a bit. Even though it's not 100% accurate, I think they actually look pretty cool and help break up the mostly red costume a little. I'm pretty happy with the way he turned out. Thanks for looking!

BTW, did Hasbro ever make a Hank Pym Ant-Man figure in their 3 3/4 inch line? I saw a post with the 3 3/4 movie Ant-Man and a ML 6 inch figure together and it looked so cool I'd like to try to do the same with this figure. Thanks again!
