Forge was made from Marvel Legends Cyclops, with the head and base from Gambit. What started out as a simple figure, I thought, turned into quite a challenge. The base figure had 36 points of articulation and I wanted to keep them all!

Removing Cyclops head was the easy part, sawing off Gambit's head so that it could still be possible was a bit harder. I then cut Cyclop's leg in two places. Just below his hip joint and just above his knee. This needed to be done very carefully as to allow the joints to still move. I then added a piece of mech-looking plastic in place of his thigh. For his arm, I simply added Magic Sculpt to his biceps and sculpted in the needed detail. Some more Magic Sculpt was used for the outfit on his chest. Again, this had to be done very carefully due to the stomach joint. The joint also had to be painted carefully, to thick for a coat and the paint would rub off when the figure was bent at that joint. More putty was used for his hair and face. I topped him off with real leather fringes for his boots and placed him on his base.
