Lookie, lookie! It's a new custom! This semester has been rough with me on projects, but fortunately, I was actually able to make this custom an actual part of my project, which is why it's done.

 

I have no love for the second series of Sin City figs. The gripes from the first series are back, but at least the first series had some pull with the character selection. And depsite having Kevin and Miho on the list, all the figures fell short of marginal. I mean, Kevin could barely even hold the mallet in both hands without messing up the wrist pegs. Something had to be done.

I started out with Prof. X as the base, and chopshopped the extremities and head from the series 2 Kevin figure. I sanded off all the suit details on Xavier and sculpted over it. Shortened the arms and made it so that the hands could be changed out, just like the original figure.

 

The shoes are the interesting part. To retain articulation, I took my Dremel and basically scraped out the meat of the shoe leaving only the shell, and cut them to fit over Xavier's girly feet before gluing them and sculpting over any gaps.

I'm still on the fence with the paintjob. I wanted it to have that cool shadowed out look that Miller employed for most of the Kevin fight scenes, but that's difficult to translate into 3-D. I decided on one fat stripe along the outer edge of the body. Looks wierd in some angles, works well in others.

 

Lemme know what you think!

Wow.....man that is freakin amazing I love Sin City and although Kevin seems kind of awkward looking (due to paint I think being a bit too dark) this custom is so cool. Your Should do a Marv next.
