It is a custom of the MacFarlen medieval Spawn figure, series II.I never did some much customizing on a figure.
The LOTR figures are not comic, but realistic looking figures. Since I wanted to make him a trooper that would fit in with the ranks, the cape had to go. The sword was so huge, I gave it to the Sauron figure to replace the ever bending axe made by toybiz. The left arm was so bulky, it had to go too. Also I wanted a different head, for the original was a zombie.
Finally the armor was to nice and elaborate, so I had to cover that with more Mordor like stuff. :twisted:

What I did:
1. the right arm had little movabilty, so I sawed that of and placed a screw in between.
2. I sawed of the head and put one from the Grishnack figure in return. Of this head, I took way the jaw and sculpted a new one with fangs.
3.The arm I replaced with one from Grishnack as well. Getting it to stuck was a challenge. The MacFarlane figures are too solid to crack them, so I drilled out the socket, put in the arm with alufoil covering the bulb of the joint. Than I covered it with a thick layer of greenstuff. It worked!
4. The helmet is build from scratch: plastic pieces hung together by greenstuff.
5. Of course he got a cloth cape, which needed sowing, some cloth stuff and hair from sheepwool.
6. The axe and halberd are handmade. The shield is a toy shield from Abraracourcix, a figure from Asterix the Gaul.
7. The armor he had was very neat and shiny. Could have been elvish... So I replaced the leg armour with handmade Mordor like nasty plates. It was made of plastic pieces with greenstuff edges. The surface I smeered with heavy duty glue to make it look corroded.
8. The left leg had a ballerina like tiptoe foot, clad in shiny armor. I covered the whole underleg with cloth and gave him a new heel and toes.
9. And after all of this, a complete repaint.

Check him out and let me know what you think!

Really nicely done! The thing about orcs is their armour is often cobbled together out of armour taken from fallen foes so this really invokes that look. It actually reminds me of some of Alan Lee’s artwork, if you own a copy of the illustrated Lord of the Rings there’s a painting I believe of Shagrat and Gorbag probably near Cirith Ungol chapter which really reminds me of this. Obviously Alan Lee was one of concept artists for the film series so it fits very nicely into both book and film looks. Awesome job!
