Six inch, vintage, 1983 Mattel Man at Arms. Using Aves two part Apoxie, that I kneaded together then let sit for a half hour, I was able to apply with the smallest set of tweezers I could find at CVS. I did not discover primer yet so then applied four coats of the Army Painter Mega Set Fur Brown. Customs magic! Oh, not impressed? neither am I but this is something I have to share because I always hated Mattels careless attitude toward detail in the 80s. However they did make a fortune on us "suckers"!  Please wait... |

Man At Arms
This is my first custom & now I have caught the fever! Since I was little, there being no mustache on Man At Arms bothered me. Bloody Nora, it was the 80s!!! How can you not have a mustache on an action figure that wears a mustache in the cartoon???!!! Budget costs really??!!
As an adult & having four sons, they love the vintage Masters saga. So I have finally done something about it! With Aves two part Apoxie & the Army Painter Mega Set my "bairn" have not been scarred by Mattel's lack of consistency like I was. There therapy coats were killing me!!! From there, I began to realize the size of the MOTU world. Catching up, I witnessed an entire cast of characters from the comics, MOTUC, & cartoons that can be made from the vintage figures. Now I'm on my way, though my learning curb is steep! Thanks
