I don't think this fig sucks at all = )
He has a very interesting "fantasy/superhero" quality about him...I confess
I am unfamiliar w/ the game you reference, but your character has a Fial
Fantasylook to him...The boots are a nice touch, I have always thought that
the plain legs lack detai when compared to torsos.
Is the green hair from a new set? or your own design?
I really like the silver shoulder guards...are the shoulder boars from
cannibalized Ninja armor?
I have always wanted to put a point on one of those silver broad swords...my
first attempts were rather disappointing and sadly lacking in skill...I
tried fashioning a point with symmetrical cuts using an exacto, but I took
off too much chrome near the point...
Other attemts using wire cutters and scissors failed as well, often causing
a series of white folds or fractures in the laminate...

I am always interested in new stories = )
I will have to get around to updating mine...

I wished I possessed the artistic ability and vision to "customize" my
figures in more than the general rearrangement of torsos, heads, and
legs...Heck, I haven't been able to rearrange arms lately without damaging
the the arms or torsos....

Why thank ye, thank ye very much!

It's a hacked up Qui Gon hairpiece that got painted. That piece has got to be
the most versatile hair out there.

Nope, they are just made of paper. I don't have any Ninja sets (yes, you did
hear me right), but that armor does look cool.

Xacto knifing it into a point only took me a few seconds.. I found that using
the really wide bladed ones with a good solid handle work best for things like
that. All you have to do is position it and push down and off comes the
unwanted section.
