Hey Torpedo look out behind you!
Left click to enlarge
I'm so sprung today I finally finished my last day of this month long of 6:30 A.M. to 10 P.M. work days. My crewmen relief period for this time is finally over it's just one job (for the time being) for a while now. And not a moment not too soon I have just enough time to throw this posting together of Chris's latest custom figure before I'm off to the night job. But at least I got all weekend to chat it up with you guys.
every time I see the clip art from Rom 49 where The Torpedo is having his last fight with the dire wraiths it makes me want to yell "Brock turn the fuck around the fight's not over yet!"
I love that intro that turned so fitting . That one guy that had a bunch of orginal Sal ROM pages sold that very page of his death some time ago. Would have loved to of had it.
oops my bad, I accidently wrote Rom 49 in reference to the Torpedo's death. obviously I need to catch up on my rest. the Torpedo death scene was repaneled in the Marvel Universe hand book deluxe edition which i posted Dec. 21, 2011.
Thanks you guys! I'm so glad you like the custom! If you guys wanna see him in some different poses check out the deviantart gallery! I hope you enjoy! Chris-
exhuman, I think you have this custom thing down pat man. Nice job. I'm going to check the deviant gallery also. Have you thought about joining figure realm? Cool site to post your customs and get a little deeper into the custom community. Just a thought.
Thank you Tiger! I appreciate the support! You can find my customs on figure realm too! customapprentice, thats me! It is a very good site for custom figure makers, in fact I learned many of the methods I use, on figure realm! Thank you for the interest!
just remember folks, as Brock learned the hard way just because you scored a touch down it doesn't mean the game is over. especially when you're playing against the dire wraiths.
Hello Mr. Dale Bagwell, Thank you for the compliment on the custom! I'm glad you like it man! I used a DCUC Sharkman figure,or is it killer shark,..? Its a great figure for an athletic human form,..once you remove the fins and the shark head that is.
thanks amigo, me too. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about that Micronauts/Spaceknights cross over art that's some Bill Mantlo heaven right there. by the way I just found out that Bill is a big Beatles fan.
That is one awesome custom figure Exhuman! Gives Torpedo a McFarlane toys kind of feel - as a New Warrior fan that's something I never thought I'd see!
Wow, thank you Dan! I cant tell you how much I appreciate that compliment! I would love to work for those guys but they'd never let me do the stuff I want to do,..like ROM and friends!!
That ad is great, David! Very clever and it makes me pine for more Torpedo adventures. It's just too bad how he went down, especially how the dire wraiths terminated Brock's whole family I'd love to see a legacy story told about one of his kids taking up the Torpedo armor, similar to how Thunderstrike's and White Tiger's kids took up the mantle of their hero fathers.
actually Brock's wife and children did survive the massacre of Clairton. the Dire Wraith that took on Brock's identity was gunned down by some Skrulls just before Rom and Starshine arrived on the scene. in a matter of speaking what you're talking about did happen with the Torpedo armor in the New Warriors title.
Sweet custom yet again Chris. Im digging the pose. The fan details are awesome. Your never disappoint with your customs. This one is again great.!

ReplyDeleteSweet ass custom by Mr. Exhuman. Damn cool! Which DCUC figure did you use? Kinda looks like a Flash or Aquaman?

DeleteAwesome action figure! Just a really nice custom job.
