"Hello. This is my custom Breaker spaceknight action figure. I tried a
few new things with this custom. He was made using an inexpensive base
figure from goodwill. I believe it was a power ranger. The lack of
articulation in the arms and waist bothered me at first but as this
custom is really just for my collection, I used it anyway. All of the
armor details including the helmet, are sculpted using magic-sculpt. I
then primed the figure in black and dry-brushed a semi-gloss red over
it. In the comics this character is really more of a burgundy color
throughout, but I thought the bright red with burgundy accents suited
him. I also tried outlining some of the armor details in black, just to
break up some of that red. I've wanted a collection of Spaceknights
ever since I was a child. Breaker's was always one of my favorite
Spaceknight armors, so after Starshine I had to try him next. I hope you
like the custom. Thank you for viewing! -Chris"
Rakk's first appearance was in ROM Annual #2. If you don't have it or have other wise never read it you can check out this Youtube slide show of that issue. Story by Bill Mantlo with pencils done by Sal Buscema and inks done by Akin & Garvey. This issue was an excellent example of how the melding of great story telling and art work made ROM such a great book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrOmqDEWQGg&feature=related
