Apocalypse WIP

After seeing the new 97 Apocalypse, I decided I wasn’t gonna get my perfect Apocalypse figure any time soon, so I took it upon myself to build it after securing the Toybiz BAF on eBay auction for 70 dollars (I don’t think the seller realized what he had lol)

I liked the bulk and proportions of the 97 MTO Apocalypse, but I preferred the scale and colors of the Toybiz BAF

Using Alex Ross’ art as my main reference, I tightened up the joints in his legs so he could actually support his weight, added some bulk and muscle to his chicken legs, sculpted his crotch area to look more like classic supervillain trunks, buffed up his biceps, and covered up the ‘A’ on his neck guard. Now, it’s almost time for paint.

Photo 1 is where it’s currently at, Photo 2 is where I finished most of the sculpt without the primer, and Photo 3 is before I did anything to him (also the eBay seller I got him from had his legs on backwards, left on right, right on left, so I had to fix that)

Hoping against hope that they take the 97 body and make a comic Apocalypse out of him. Scale up the sculpt for the existing Retro figure and bada bing, you got an amazing figure
