Nice work, but please tell me about the "Claw" figure. Was he a commercially available figure? I remember he featured in a television commercial with an Action Man figure and we were trying to figure out at the time where we had seen him before or if he was custom made for the commercial.

What's the story?

Thanks,

Thanks. He was custom made for the commercial. I had tracked down the guys who made the commercial and they said they just wanted to do something different and fun with an old Action Man. Unfortunately they weren't connected to the brand and had no plans to sell there's. So I sat out to make a custom. I independently commissioned the head and claw. I changed the outfit and design a bit to make him look more fierce IMO and I've had him for over a year but just recently actually put him together to cause havoc in the toy box haha.

Very impressive work on the figure, he looks great!!! He fits right in with the villain figures the club has been making the last few years. I predict he'll quickly rise through the ranks of ATHQ villains to take over. The AT will have their hands full!

Very cool figure, thanks!
