WIP: X-Factor Cyclops

X-Men month continues with an initial WIP of X-Factor Cyclops.

The base is Black Panther with ML10 Cyclops boots, gloves, and head. I first ran sand paper over Black Panther for half an hour, taking down the extremes of the texture. Cyclops boots and head gave the figure more height; probably more than the OHOTMU would dictate, but I want my Cyclops to have presence, and to be taller than the Jean Grey figures I have. I wanted to keep the Black Panther hands (and had already trimmed off the claws), but the figure was getting Tyrannosaurus arms, so I added Cyclops hands to stretch them out. Too bad, as I would prefer Cyclops to be able to throw a punch.

I wanted to use the variant for this custom, to avoid paint rub on the ankles and wrists. But I couldn’t find it, and my customizing time is limited. Oh well!
