I've become infatuated with the International figures over the last few years. I've worked on adding many of the characters into my collection through customs, and while some have remained as close to the International original as possible, others were re-imagined. Kangor is one of the latter.

Kangor hails from Australia, and is of Aboriginal descent. Kangor is an expert tracker, hunter, and a skilled marksman. He carries a light weight long range sniper rifle, but his weapon of choice is a wrist mounted crossbow that fires bolts laced with a neurotoxin of his own design culled from the venom of an Eastern Brown Snake. Kangor is a man of few words, and he doesn't appear to bond with any man, but instead prefers the company of his pet kangaroo, Quoll.

The only reason this custom exists is because I found a cool Kangaroo toy for a dollar at a nearby fleamarket. I instantly knew I had to make a Kangor custom, but wanted something other than a straight Big Boa repaint.
I wanted to run with the idea that he's from Australia, but wanted him to be aboriginal. This custom represents my first attempt at painting skintone.
I added a crossbow and bolt holder from a cheap Wal-mart toy set I had picked up years before.

This is the figure that inspired me to reimagine other International figures leading the way for customs of characters like Felino and Tigor.
