Long-time readers will remember the “Casimir Curse,” in which I build a custom figure, to be shortly followed by an official announcement of said character being sold at retail. (To be fair, that was to everyone’s benefit.) That hasn’t happened for a long time. Until Talon. A few weeks after I finished this (and before I could post him to the site), McFarlane revealed his official Talon figure. And it’s great! It doesn’t make this custom any less valid, since there are meant to be many Talons, and each one looks slightly different.
The head is a 3D print I purchased on eBay. The body is a McFarlane Mortal Kombat Noob Saibot figure. Other than repainting some of the metallic areas to be more gold in color, I didn’t change the body.
