This is a custom my buddy bogie motivated me to work on. I saw that he used the ml astonishing x-men cyclops and I knew I had one in the 12 inch icons scale collecting some major dust!!! I dremmeled down all the yellow lines on his costume and got his visor down to the appropriate width. Actually the visor could be better but oh well. I sanded him down a lot and all the white in the wip pics is aves apoxie! My first time using so darn much of that stuff, and it was awesome! I used it to make a sort of twisting flame coming out of solar's torso, his chest logo, and also the pouch on his waist. I wanted his flame tail to mimic the comic cover shown. I had never heard of doctor solar before bogie, but I loved bogie's figure so I made my own version with a twist. Oh yeah and that is most definitely a doll stand holding him up, thank you much hahaha. Rock and roll, hope you guys like it! Comments appreciated as usual! Recipe for the paragraph-phobes:
• base - ml icons cyclops (astonishing x-men)
• aves apoxie - chest logo, flame tail, pouch on waist
