Entire Figure: Chap-Mei Soldier Force and MF4-02 Techno-Wave Microman Military Force
Sword: Xevoz
Claw: Bionicle
Cape: Sock (old but clean)


Intended as a proof-of-concept, this is my first attempt at doing what I'm calling a "Microman-dress-up" custom.

Basically I took the infamous Chap-Mei Soldier Force hooded-baddie figure, dismembered him, hollowed out various parts of his body, and then slipped those parts over a Microman Military Force body.

It worked pretty well, the torso ended up being more of a challenge than I expected, but the soft plastic of the arms legs and head proved to be exceptionally well suited to this approach.

Obviously we've all looked at this guy and thought "hey, it's Iron Klaw!" so the OBVIOUS Joe-themed Chap-Mei figure conversion is out of the way, but I look forward to using this approach in the future to make use of the Chap-Mei "parts library" more fully.
