W.I.P. Custom Kamen Rider BIO-RIDER
Finally found some time today after a long couple of weeks to get back into customizing a figure. The workstation is a mess with dismantled bits and pieces of Transformers, Marvel Legends, etc from before.

The Batmobile that I was working on halfway is currently placed on hold as I'm lacking ideas and I need to hunt for more parts.

So what have we got here instead? A Series 1 Marvel Legends figure done by Hasbro after Toybiz lost the license to produce further ML figures.

It's a character I've absolutely never heard of... Banshee.

It's one heck of an ugly sculpt with its mouth wide open, horrid colour scheme and is a generally dismal product under the "Legends" banner (which had much better toys when under Toybiz... did I not mentioned that before? Heh. Thankfully Hasbro's now churning out better sculpts!)

Anyway, this ugly boy has heaps of potential... potential for what you may ask?

Potential to become a Kamen Rider figure that is! Yeah!

First we get rid of that horrid hairdo.
Argh! I'm bald! (Don't complain too much Banshee as your eyes are next! LOL!)
Re-sculpted the head completely and sculpted some accesories for a more KR feel.
So that's that for today... more work to be done for this guy so do stick around!
