Weekly Geek's Chris Furniss creates BioShock's Big Daddy photo

[As originally posted on Tomopop]

I have been nursing the idea of creating a Big Daddy out of a DIY vinyl figure for some time now, so when I saw this one over at The Weekly Geek I couldn't help but smack myself for not getting off my ass sooner. Chris used Sculpey, a mini Munny form and wire to create his own version, which certainly looks a lot better than the paint job on that half-ass Big Daddy that came with the limited edition of the game.

I feel we don't see enough custom figures of famous characters in games -- are there any that you have ever dreamed of making, but have yet to find the time?
