The detailing on this one is quite awesome!  Small features like the belt and the Deadpool "eyes" on his helmet make this one.  That Cobra Commander head works very well with this fig too!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

@Spuda: I remember trading in a ton of video games just to get Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Pretty awesome game and they did a great job with Deadpool for sure! Thanks man! I'm happy with him. I need to do a little bit of paint work, but otherwise he's done. As for other Comics/games Mando mash-ups I'm thinking of a Judge Dredd Mando complete with his motorcycle and 2 Mortal combat Mandos, as well as another DC Mando.

@Lucasclones: oh that's awesome! I haven't seen the Wolvie Mando yet but I bet I know who'd win the fight lol. How many times has Logan diced up Wade? Thanks! Glad you like both of them!

@Spry: Hehe yeah the Harley colors are also the Deadpool colors. So glad you love him! Perhaps I'll do a Punisher Mando at some point? I'm also toying with the idea of an Iron-Mando.

@Phatty: Thanks! That's so awesome, I'm honored :)

@JediMerc: Thank you! Sometimes the detailing is frustrating and tedious and makes me nearly go blind, but it's worth it! I struggled with the eyes in the helmet for a while. Originally they were a lot longer, but that didn't feel right. Yeah! It's a great head for post-Sarlacc Boba Fett or Wade Wilson!

@Tamer: Thanks brother! It means a lot :D

@GS: Thanks!

Very cool. I love your choice of parts and I like how he is a mix of Star Wars and Marvel with using some Joe parts.

@CS78: Thanks bro! Yeah those Joe legs just begged to be used on Deadpool. They were already black and red so I figured they'd hold the paint that much better.

@Botwt: So glad you like him! I'm thinking of putting him up for sale :)

Very cool crossover man. I really like the shots of him without his helmet, that head is PERFECT. Im totally going to use that head on a Boba fett figure, thanks for the ideas!

Any time brother man! Glad you dig this one! I used a red wash and made his lesions a bit more bloody looking. They were too pink and pale on the original joe paint scheme.

Time for another custom update! Yet another mash-up this time. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's bought a lot of fodder because of a certain piece they see, or couple of parts that start the brain-juices flowing. I spied a Grand Moff Trachta and a gumball machine bubble and I thought--Batman villain! So upon the arrival and sorting of the fodder I began the build yesterday and finished the paint work today. Made for a nice quiet St. Pat's. So what Batman villain could possibly come from a Grand Moff Trachta and a bubble? Obviously it's a Star Wars version of Mr. Freeze! One of my all time favorite Batman Villains, second only to The Joker and Harley Quinn. The Character's look really became much more well defined in The Animated Series, and from there he earned a cold little spot in my heart.

Victor Freeze was a scientist experimenting with cryogenics. He used his terminally ill wife as a test subject in a desperate attempt to freeze her alive so that some day she might be thawed when a cure was invented for her disease. Only, his project wasn't officially sanctioned and his funder accused him of misusing resources and tried to shut him down. In an altercation between Freeze and his financial backer Victor was thrown into a work bench full of chemicals, forever altering his body and his physiology. Needing a subzero environment to survive he built a cold suit and developed several cryo weapons such as a freeze gun. His emotional centers were deadened in the accident and thus he comes accross as an emotionless cold hearted (literally) villain bent on vengeance against his former business partner.

I present the Sultan of Snow, The coolest guy I know, Mr. Freeze:

And as an added bonus, I finished my Female Death Trooper and did her paint apps. They're based on the game Star Wars Galaxies, a now defunct MMORPG. I will be doing at least 3 more of these figures and hope to sell them. Each one will come with a different piece of chewed up Stormtrooper for them to snack on!

Sickeningly good!  Love the pic of the zombie eating the arm: awesome!

Nice use of the plastic toy machine bubble capsule; haven't seen one of those in years!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

@Botwt: Thanks Botwt! I've always really liked the broken away jaw piece and the exposed zombie maw underneath look. Glad you like them!!

@Tamer: Thanks Tamer! I'm honored for the fp! Expect to see more zombies coming your way soon!

@JM: Hehe yeah, I never shy away from 3 3/4" gore! I only wish those female zombie hands would hold things better. Yes! I saw that and was instantly on a Mr. Freeze kick! Too bad they have such limited stuff of his on Youtube. Glad you approve of them both!
