I took a Spike body & Wesley head and made my own Ed Mercer action figure.



A lot of stuff had to be cut away. It's a nice figure and I was sorry to destroy it but I really wanted an Ed.



I needed to cut a lot at the backside, they had this so the coat would flow but the jacket needed to be tighter.



I smoothed out all the crinkles in the sleeves and pants with Milliput. I also later added the collar and details like the comm at the sleeve. And I cut a little triangle into the t-shirt at the neck.



I also changed the hands with wide-spread fingers to more closed fists.



Originally I had just wanted to paint him blue but then I found this cloth and painted that, which gives the uniform a bit texture. Not shown: I also had to alter the hairline of the original head plus make the blue eyes brown.



Messy desk!
