Need a custom part suggestion....

[Ninjinister]

Hey y'all!

I recently received a maskless Supermutant Leonardo in a lot. Since I had the ring mask from an old Wolverine, I was going to use it to make a custom Turtle Saint - 'cause God knows I'll never afford the real one, even if I do somehow find it....

Anyway, I went to see how the mask fit today, and it's a wee bit too small. It fits okay, but it looks weird.

Should I just hold out and look for a complete loose Supermutant Turtle (I'm vouching for Mikey, since I already have one Supermutant Mike - and I never customize a TMNT figure unless I have at least two, or one is incomplete), or is there a Wolverine mask that's a better fit? I'm sorry to say I'm not very familiar with most toys outside of TMNT.

Here's the Wolverine in question:

the only thing that I can think of is the masks from that really crappy line of Double Dragon figs.

That one on the far right might work... whose is it? I think the other three are Billy, Jimmy, and Shadow Master... who else?

[Sarah]

the masks are for Jimmy, Billy, Vortex and Blaster. Shadow Masters mask couldnt be removed.

[Ninjinister]

Ah. Last time I saw that show was a LAFTA. I don't even remember Vortex and Blaster.


Thanks!

EDIT: Looking at the DD figures... they look about the same size as the Wolverine. About how big are they?

[Sarah]

I know they're bigger than that particular Wolverine. and their heads are alot larger, specially Blasters :lol: id say they're about 5 in.

[Ninjinister]

Well, the Supermutants are quite a bit bigger than a standard Turtle, and their heads are shaped different... I'll get a Blaster, and hope for the best.

Wolverine's mask is a pretty simple shape--I'd try making one out of cardboard, or a similar thin material. That way you don't need to worry about finding one exactly the right size because you make it exactly the dimensions you need. Maybe Archon_Turtle could give you some pointers in that regard, seeing as how he made a Wolverine mask for his custom contest entry.
