Gothitropolis: Big Bird custom

Last month, Chris Gawrych, of Four Horsemen Studios, shared this fun custom:

a Gothitropolis raven body, with bright yellow feathers and 'street sign green' armor.

Regarding my "bird head" custom....... now that I think about it, I may very well be the first Mythic Legions customizer! How cool is that??? So yea, one day I was thinking about what crazy bird custom I could make, and somehow the thought of Big Bird as one of the characters came about. But he couldn't be happy of course. So I just inverted the eyelids to make him look angry. I sculpted the entire head in clay, and gave him an articulated beak, plus a separation of the neck and head. I then worked out the color scheme, which if you look, you will see it is Sesame Street themed! But the best part? I had the factory make me about 8 official copies, painting up existing figures with factory paint, and making copies of the head in resin. He even comes with a set of wings of course! Take a look and let me know what you all think! I am very proud of this piece, and I kept wanting to expand more on this........... only time will tell.

So fun! The Masters of the Universe homages they do in Mythic Legions are great, but why stop there?
