I’ve said this many times: Sometimes you make a custom because the parts are there, not necessarily because you wanted to. I had some extra Bane parts available after buying the main figures for other projects. I knew if I could find a compatible torso, it would not be difficult to make Bane in his shirtless look. The answer appeared in the form of McFarlane’s Liu Kang Mortal Kombat figure. Perfectly compatible. I only had to swap the parts and repaint to match skin tones.
Created May 2023









Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Moderate: New and modified parts.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
