X-Men Origins Wolverine: Iceman - Entire figure, repainted


While I'm quite happy with the movie style Watchmen figure on my shelf, I really wanted to have at least a Dr. Manhattan in scale with my Joe-verse.

In the rough concept of that Joe-verse, COBRA has been largely successful and continues to incorporate various Super Villains into their ranks. As such, while they may not work with GI Joe directly, various Super Heroes, like the Watchmen, often find themselves having to battle COBRA.

As soon as I saw the translucency of Iceman, I knew a bit of dark blue transparent paint would be just enough to shift his coloring to be passable as Dr. Manhattan. I also attempted to "engrave" the hydrogen symbol into his forehead, and fill it in with a black wash, which I feel was moderately successful.

Fun fact: the same symbol is tattooed on the back of my neck!
