Mimic, at first a foe of the original X-Men, wound up joining the team and replaced Cyclops as team leader for a short time. Over the years he has crossed the line from hero to villian, and back again, several times. For this figure I used the Beast from the ToysRUs exclusive X-Men set, with Angel's wings from that same set. I sculpted the hair, belt, and arm and leg bands. The visor was made with styrene and Apoxie Sculpt. Its a pretty simple recipe that works great for the character.
This looks like it stepped right out of the 90s animated series (which is how I first learned about Mimic)! Good idea to use Beast, and the black lining on the 'M' is perfect!
I think I recognize your work and superb craftsmanship R.E.! Great character to make for this contest theme. Nice to see a classic X-men character like Mimic so well done, and I like how you included the original X-men too.
