"Hail to the King" - King Dangerous Custom Action Figure

On your knees, peasant scum!

I've been working on custom action figures for a number of the guys that wrestle for EBW (Elite British Wrestling) here in Sheffield for a couple of years now, steadily going from doing the bare minimum that I could get away with to the stage where I'm now taking the entire figure back to a plain black undercoat and building everything up from scratch.


I'd done one for a guy called Dan already, based on his previous gimmick of "Dangerous Danny Debris" when he was a face (good guy), but he actually asked me to do one of his then new heel (bad guy) character "King Dangerous".

It took me a while, but this was the result - Christian Cage's head on Alberto Del Rio's body (for the sake of the stupidly rare boots with Lycra covers, which he stopped wearing soon afterwards!), a fur mantle made of greenstuff over Milliput, greenstuff tape on the hands and freehand decals on the kneepads and boots (cleverly forgotten when I took the photo).

The gear was all basecoated black and then drybrushed in ligtening shades of grey before being toned down with a wash of Badab Black, and the skin was worked up through shades of tanned flesh and then washed with Orgryn Flesh.

See if you can guess which popular TV series the gimmick's based on from the animals on the kneepads.

He Man never had accessories this furry...
