Name:Hammerhead
Custom Type:Action Figure

Base Figure:WWE Paul Bearer
Height:6.00 inches
This is one I never thought I'd do anytime soon. But looked at the Mattel WWE Paul Bearer figure and thought the bulk could work. But he was just too tall. So I sought about to shorten him and took some height out of the lower legs and neck. I cut the lower legs at 2 points, glued them together and sculpted over. And now he's the same height as Spidey, which is perfect since they're billed as 5'10 in the comics!

It was mostly a repaint with the ML Hammerhead head, and then added a 2002 Spider-Man movie JJJ waistcoat. Pinstripes were no fun, but took a couple of hours using a Pigma Micron pen as opposed to a brush, since it's easier to get uniform thickness of the lines.

My own critiques would be the head is slightly too small, not a big deal but it's really due to Hasbro making it fit the Chameleon suited body instead of a thicker body like he should have. And then apart from that the torso looks a bit too thick but I'm happy enough with it. Best recipe to make him in my opinion.

Thanks for looking!

Great Hammerhead! The mods to that body worked well. The pinstripes are smooth!

Cheers man, no I just filled the head cavity with hot glue and placed it on the peg to fit snug. But a magnet would be just as simple to do
