Nice paint work. Sadly that is one of my least favorite clix figures. I don't yet recall seeing a really good clix incarnation of Red Skull.

Imho the heroscape version of the Red Skull is pretty good. Let's see if I can find an image...



But I agree fairoaks024's paint job looks great.

Best use of that figure. The clix dial on it was horrible and pretty much unplayable, but the sculpt on it was awesome.

If people are looking for Red Skull figures on the cheap, there are a few from Heroclix.

Cloberin Time

Captain America Set

Avengers Movie set (Hugo Weaving) also a Johann Schmidt pre Skull version


These ones are going for a little more because they are Super Rare/Chase rarities and are currently modern legal for the game
Avengers Assemble

Guardians of the Galaxy Zombie version

Oh if those heroclix were as good as their digital sculpts.....

[fairoaks024]

Thanks chaps.

Puuka, I hadn't seen the zombie red skull, really like it. I had a look on ebay and it goes
for stupid prices!

Today it's colossus from "ultimates"

I really liked this Red Skull (excellent brush work as always fairoaks024); considering it's a hero clix plastic I thought it was a good good sculpt/rendition of the character.  It hits what I consider to be some sweet skull moments as well;

1. Byrne era militant dress uniform rather than the green jump suit.
2. Cosmic Cube
3. Cap's shield laying shattered in the dust.

@obisidian31,
What kills this one for you?  I'm curious because I liked it so much (especially after seeing those other ones ).

I think it's the proportions of the body. He looks like he's about 4 ft tall to me.

[fairoaks024]

I've had a good look at the figure and I think there's a reason the proportions look "off"

The upper thighs have the flair of the jodhpurs and it makes them look huge, which in turn makes his upper half look too small, but when I compare it next to a few other figures it's actually not bad proportion wise.

@obisidian3d,

I see where you are coming from.  Comics typically draw people anywhere from 6.5 t0 7.5 heads tall (6 being a classical, correctly proportioned figure) to make them more "heroic".  The Skull's melon could account for his flyweight look.  Our bias in perception may contributed to us reading, "child" therefore small because his head is such a significant percentage of his full height 

It's something I take as a given with heroclix sculpts so I didn't include that in my assessment of the model.  My biggest issue with the range is the lack of continuity.  I'd be all over it if they could sit all of their sculptors down together and produce an "average" blank they could base their work on.  The variation in the range always said no oversight and poor communication to me.

@fairoaks024,

Hector Hammond looks great (even if he has a fat head  ),  Gil Kane would be proud.

Thanks horridperson!

Today it's a repaint of a superhero toy from my local supermarket, no idea who made it, it's slightly large but nothing unusable. Dr. Octopus
