I always felt sorry for this guy because when I was a kid playing gi joes with my friends, nobody wanted to play with him, except to see how far we could throw him. When I saw the Fantastic 4 movie Ben Grimm in a space suit for clearance, I instantly knew what to do with him.

I dremeled the body as usual, though this sucker is solid and my dremel would overheat every 5 mins. I also had to shorten him at the waist and the legs since he was alot taller than I originally thought. Then it was a matter of sculpting over everything except the hands with Epoxy putty. I always love when a figure has some heft when you pick it up and this guy has just that.

The head was from a WWE figure I've had for years, I cant even remember who he was supposed to be. But he had this perfect expression. The kind of expression a creepy guy would have, while waiting underwater in public swimming pool for hours and hours, while staring at little kids, and then pop up and surprise them, telling them not to go swimming during a thunderstorm, or not to run around a pool with scissors. And now they know. Perv.

The bubble came from those vending machine thingys. I painted him with a mixture of airbrush, drybrush and washes to try and give the suit that used look.
