Krang's Gross Dimension X Body by KaptainMyke [ PROGRESS ]
http://blog.kaptainmyke.com/?p=1010
It’s my very first custom action figure I’ve ever built. For the sake of being the first in the world to attempt to build such an interesting figure, I will be unveiling progression photos and production notes. Spoiler:
A ton of photos and updates will be here and at my progress posts on my blog. What do you think?

I love it that you are tackling Krang's body, that design deserves a physical representation.
I didn't think X Body was as tall as the Android body, but it's a nice base for a custom. |

Wow. Well, it's certainly ambitious! Never thought I'd see a gutted/re-purposed Krang android. Like CK implied, I think the original idea was for it to be a standard sized action figure, but this scale would definitely give one a sizable canvas for sculpting all that detail. He'd be quite formidable! Best of luck.

Thanks I really appreciate it. Any feedback whether constructive or positive with concerns is totally welcome. I always assumed this figure was intended to be an 11" or 12" figure. I guess I never thought about it being a 5" figure.
Custom Toy Builder and forum member Galoob23 had observed the 2008 Marvel Hulk Abomination figure is pretty much a direct ripoff of this body concept art drawing. That figure is the standard 5" or 6" size I believe. Maybe he will chime in this thread soon with a photo.

I have another project in the works too - and thanks to oldmanwinters I can get finalized on the card art.

It's going really well. I've spent the past week busy with other projects, but the head sculpting is coming along nicely. I should have a new post next week.

If you're still wondering what to use to fill in the cavity you could try aluminum foil.

Guys I have not abandoned the project at all - turns out, after January hit everyone in my household got super sick and we got snowed in twice so I've had a lot of distractions lately. More updates to come soon. oh and a big Thank you to tmntfannumerouno for the sound advice on the stomach cavity.
