Ryu the Owl / Tiny (Battle of the Planets) Custom Action Figure
Next up in the Gatchaman run is Ryu, aka Tiny. One of the two I've never made in any variation before. I've considered him off and on, so I'm glad this run is requiring me to fix him up. His bulk was the main thing that always held me back, but after fixing up guys like Bouncing Boy, I feel better about the approach. Honestly, it would probably be smoother to build him on the Wonder Man body, but I feel like it wouldn't balance as well in the end. The Doc Ock body is smaller and slightly disproportionate, so I opted to go with it. Just bulked it up with some sculpt, then sculpted on the belt. Had to do some dremeling and add a little bit of sculpt to help the Wonder Man arms fit better. Legs were also from Wonder Man. Sculpted on the gloves and communicator. Cape was from Grim Reaper, with the bottom cut and the top cut and resculpted. Head came from a Gatchaman 5 pack, dremeled to fit. From there, a full repaint, and all done!  Please wait... |
