I started a figure, the cool thing about this figure is it's also a diorama. I'm talking about Swamp Thing! A week or two ago I ran across a retro TV station that was airing the USA network Swamp Thing. I had completely forgotten how awesome ole swampy was. I looked around the internet and I couldn't find a figure that I liked. Mostly the new 52 version. I wanted the Alan Moore style. So I thought how hard can it be to make my own. I talked to my brother who is a comic and 6 inch figure guru, about the project. We agreed that the Guardians of the galaxy Drax would be a good base figure. The other option was Hulk, but he is just too big. Of course I added the Baf Groot lower legs, by cutting and attaching using brass tubing. That gives him a little more height and its a good substitute for the boots. I did a preliminary sculpt on the Drax face to give him a more skeletal look, similar to a burn victim. I get my miliput tomorrow so I can sculpt his roots and vine like muscles and details. I'll use diorama plants for some of the details. I may make him a statue due to the possibility of it being very delicate.
