I love making obscure characters, especially when I don't think they, or a particular costume of theirs, has a chance of being made by Hasbro. If Solo ever gets a figure, it'll probably be something more modern, and I would much prefer his classic look. A few years ago, I replaced my Hydra troops with the figures Hasbro Pulse was offering (I much preferred the Hydra symbol being present on the arm). When I did that, it allowed me to use the old Hydra Soldiers from 2014 as fodder. I'd been considering making Solo for a while, and then I recalled seeing Camarodude1967's head cast for him on eBay; it would end up saving me a lot of time and work, so I bought one. Recipe: Head: Mar-Vell head cast (thanks Camarodude1967!) Body, hands: Hydra Soldier (2014) Shoulder straps, bandolier, thigh holster: AIM Soldier 2-pack Thigh pouches: Shatterstar Belt, wrist cuffs, revolver, and knife: Union Jack Handgun (in thigh holster): White suit Deadpool Calf straps: X-Men costume Deadpool (Sauron wave/2018) Boots and feet: Machine Man Semi-automatic pistol: Old ToyBiz Punisher (Marvel Super Heroes, I believe) I didn't want to use the yellow boots, so I heated and popped those off in case I thought of someone I could use them for later (A lot of characters seem to wear yellow boots). I Dremelled down some Machine Man boots, as well as the Hydra Soldier wrists to minimize paint rub. I painted the thigh holster, thigh pouches, wrist cuffs, hands, calf straps, and boots a flat Vallejo brown. Then I added all of his guns, straps, pouches, and holster. Easy peasy. And now I own a brand new character with little chance of being made for the Spider-Man display. ![]() |
