Crea-torX WIP page-Addition Marvel's Venom

Posted in Custom Workstation

This is a figure long time coming. Since Webstor's new figure costs more than I am whiling to pay, this is the next best idea. I know this "idea" have be down by the Great Madtinker76 and among others super customizers, but I always wanted to give my twist to the character. To be honest, I really thought I had a brainstorm of the idea of joining Webstor and a spider figure together. Imagine if you will, my EXTREME disappointment to find out someone beat me to it! ARRGH! Other than watching the Master of the Universe cartoon when they FIRST aired on TV, I never bought ANY MOTU figures...NONE! I never had any in my collection of figures...EVER! So this is new territory for me.

First thing, I knew I couldn't use ANY Webstor bodies. It's been done! I have to come up with another idea that could be just as good, but creative too! I decided on using Buzzoff upper torso and arms. Buzzoff hands were bug - like so, it was the perfect choice. Also having ports in the back for legs* or whatever you want to call the things that are coming out of Webstor's body didn't hurt either! My only disappointment with this torso, leaves no room for another set of arms. To be honest, with no articulation at the elbows leaves little on no room for them. The red X will be on his chest as well.


*I had legs from Spider Vs the World figure and I thought thingies from his upper back. The rest is Buzzoff. Also going to add more spikes to his arms.

Thanks to Supersizeme, I will be using MOTU Man at arms lion cloth to keep it G rate!


Here is where I took a different turn and going with the head from Spider-Man Classics Man-Spider. I didn't like the eyes and the mouth, so I drilled out the eye and used push pin for them. The mouth was carved out and I used a Red Lantern Lite-lik mouth that has a more menacing look with sharp teeth. I thought about using a Predator's head, but just too big for this figure. The Man-Spider's head was pushing on the size a bit, but not as bad. Since when do Spiders have antenna? Having to remove those, I will be sculpting to cover them up and fill in around the mouth.


(H E L P) Any help on joining the two figures together will be DEEPLY appreciated, cause frankly I don't have a clue! I like for his waist to move side to side some. Gluing it in place sounds like I rushed it and double ended screws doesn't sound like a good idea either. Help me out gang!

I have thought of a 100 ways in painting him, but keeping with tradition of Webstor, he will be blue tones!

I like MONSTERS...period! If you look at my customs, you will most differently see a theme going on here. I loved the remake of the THING in the early 80's! And some how this came to be!




I have asked my fellow customites could you use the same idea on more than one custom and everyone said...YES! Cause the figures running up the neck is used on Red Lantern custom too. The Funnel claw end of the scorpion tail gave it a twist, I think? Having Deadman's arms and hands looks like they are crawling and it moves across the floor. You can almost hear the shrieking screams from the three heads of Yellow Lantern Low. But this was a dream I had and I had to build it when I woke up. There is so much more that could be done with this horrid...THING, but not sure where to go next. Remove one of bug's back legs and add a human leg?

If you been touched(not by me) by this figure and have some interesting ideas to take to next level....let me heat from you.

thanks for looking!
