I don't really know anything about Ares but ever since I saw that ML BAF I wanted one and since there is zero chance that I'll pay $200 plus for it I decided to make my own ... I figured I could make a better looking one anyway with a WWE Deluxe figure body .... now this is my first crack at him and I plan on making him again when I find some better looking boots for him ... maybe I can find a cheap pair of original Ares BAF boots ... so it was pretty simple to make I just used a Triple H WWE Deluxe figure body, Randy Orton WWE Deluxe head, the Original Ares helmet & weapons, ML Beta Ray Bill boots, ML series 2 DR Doom belt, the left hand guard was from a ML Hope Summers figure... I used used regular rubbers bands for the right arm wrist gauntlet and regular MP3 player head phone wire for the left arm & waist armor .. I also used head phone wire to out-line his chest armor and ML Planet Hulk armor straps for his shoulder straps and done .... I think it turn out great but the next time I will find some better boots ..Enjoy
