Gutsman moves Better Now (Toy Modification)
ekoala2002 \| 10:33 AM on 03.23.2009	3 comments

Here is something I did because I did not like the original vinyl figure. The original Gutsman figure, only had 3-4 points of articulation. I wanted a Gutsman that could look like he was throwing the huge boulders, so I redid him with better joints. I used the same LEGO joints that I did when I made my Custom Airman figure. I love this figure a lot more now that it can do more. The only other thing that I want to do is to make the figures and hands movable, but I haven't found the right parts to make it look correct. If you want to see more, check out My Flickr Site. Here is a picture of the original for comparison.

Let me know what you think, and as always, constructive criticism is always appreciated.

That turned out really well, great job. I don't know about messing with the hands, he looks great as is, but it's up to you...
Usually when I've tried to customize figures they end up looking like something out of Sid's house in Toy Story...

I agree with Zombie Platypus on the hands, they look great already. Either way, great modification. I'll buy it off you if you're ever strapped for cash.
