It Took Over 50 Years But Colossus Has arrived

Back in the 1960s and 1970s there were no action figures. You wanted Captain America, Thor, Batman or, say, Billy the Cat then you turned to that wondrous material Plasticine (it's basically what Ardman Animation did).

Kotar and Sabuta, The Missing Link and other heroes I created were all built from Plasticine and it took a couple packets to make my own version of Giant Man -Colossus. The character appeared in Return of the Gods Twilight of the Super Heroes but I always wanted to have the classic look.

I wanted a Colossus to add to my growing number of adventure characters in 54 mm (1/32nd) scale. I found a very cheap 6 inch wrestling figure (the Rock) and Milliput  for hair wrist band and comm-watch as well as belt control and....

Voila!

Hmm. Ignore the 60mm Crescent cowboys  -I've been on a big figure paint spree.

Above: Herald/Lone Star 54mm Tarzan figure and a Crescent Native American as Blue Eagle and behind him to the left Mr Bat and right the Bat. Colossus fits in with these well.
 

For some reason after I finished this one I smiled. Maybe I'm going senile...or having fond memories?
