Design:

Professor Gangrene was an Action Man character throughout the 2000's. A villain with several different versions, all with a dweebish feel. The 2001 figure loosely has a Mr. Freeze / Vulture-inspired look, on which this custom is based. The Picard head reflects the sometimes bald/balding look of the character. The body parts give a gangly-but-imposing appearance, with broad shoulders, long arms and torso, but short legs.

Colors & Paint:

Somewhat inspired by the color set of the 2001 figure. Distressed skin and differently sized eyes downplay the Galoob Picard head, which was a well done likeness of Patrick Stewart. The skin is a yellowish tan, with a green wash, white highlights, and then the yellowish tan again to indicate veins.

Sculpting & Modifying:

The head is cast. I added extra mass added to the top of the head for a freaky brain look, but it actually made the head look more like Patrick Stewart's noggin. My guess is that the Galoob sculptor may have intentionally slightly undersized the skull top to make the figure look more action figure-like and less like a middle aged balding man. The midriff is epoxy sculpted where the upper and lower halves were combined. The harness straps were cut off and the shirt pockets were removed.

Thanks for looking.
