New Custom Action Figure: Red Skull

Recently a good friend of ours asked me if I knew of any Red Skull action figures, because she couldn't find any for her son. While I knew they existed, they are expensive and slightly hard to find (for the good ones atleast). Luckily, the kid in question has ***ME*** as their Godfather. After some thought, and rummaging through some fodder boxes, finding a Red Skull torso/legs.. I decided to make this 3 year old kid a custom action figure... so his Captain America can finally have someone to beat up.

**Sidenote**: It felt really cool telling them I was making this for their son. He doesn't know yet, but his mom teared up when I told her and that is a pretty cool feeling. ~~***MAKING PEOPLE CRY***~~

> For the base I used a Marvel Legends Red Skull torso that my friend had (and didn't care about). I found some random arms off of a Captain Marvel figure that fit well enough, and some spare hands that I had in my fodder bag.

> For Red Skulls iconic... *red skull*... I actually found a Taskmaster head that had a few holes in it that worked perfect (*atleast perfect enough for a 3 year old*). After identifying all the parts I would use. I cleaned up the figure with some fine grit sandpaper, washed it off, let it dry and then started to PRIME!

> I guess this is a good time to mention... my friend I always talk about who helps with my customs, and lets me use his stuff GAVE me his old air brush... which is crazy... I keep getting cool gear from friends (*like when I got that 3d printer a few weeks ago*). He taught me how to clean and use the air brush and I was ON MY WAY!

Since the glue I used to fill in the holes in his head didn't quite work very well. I used "green stuff" to sculpt over it after pulling out the glue. It definitely is going to give it a smoother look, and will prime better I am sure.
