Orange Thing

The Hero Clix Thing painted up in orange.

It does look a bit like an underwear commercial.

The original Hero Clix Thing vs the repainted Orange Thing.

Here he has the Fantastic Four uniform painted on.

All three of them together.

The Battle Dice figure cut off the base.  The Hero Clix will be glued on this base eventually.

Orange Thing

The Ever Lov'n' Thing, from the Fantastic Four, Hero Clix in 28mm.

Removed from his base, a simple pry off with a heavy thick blade.

Soaked in Goof Off to remove the paint.

Goof Off is very strong and I only rinse the figure with it and monitor the paint removal.

Not an Arctic Thing, rather the Thing painted in light grey primer.

The Battle Dice Thing is in a funny bent over posture and is smaller than usual making him look too small for 1/72nd scale.

My plan is to repaint the Hero Clix figure into a more orange color like the Battle Dice figure. 

Super Hero Update

I have built a Batman and a Robin in 1/72nd scale for my Battle Dice figures.

Taking a HaT figure from the Spanish Guerrillas I intend to make Uncle Sam.  The Human Torch will become the Sub-Mariner.  The Invisible Woman will be both Catwoman and Batgirl.

Here the Invisible Woman has had a cape and Bat Pouches added to make Batgirl.

This Roco motorcycle is becoming the Batgirlcycle. I added a cape, bat ears to the figure, a bow to the rear end and an Atlantic Russian Maxim machine gun shield to make the faring.

Catwoman; kitty ears added and claws too.

Robin

 

Cyclops modified to become Robin.  Name tag scrapped off, head swapped and cape glued on.

 

 

Cyclops with Robin prototype.

Robin with painted legs.

Robin with painted arms.

Robin with Batman, lots more Robin painted needed.

Robin

This is Cyclops from the X-Men.  What's a Batman without a Robin?

I heated him up under hot water and bent his arms a bit.

I am using this guys head.

I am using this cape from an unreleased Pegasus set.

 



Here is Cyclops with a new head, facing the other way, and a cape!
