Modding / Painting guide for Tygra

Spoiler Alert!

Goal


Final Product



Starting figures: Beast #055-057 Xplosion + Constrictor #037-039 Infinity Challenge + Annihilus #064-066 Infinity Challenge



Step 1: Remove a chunk from Constrictor for Tygra's whip and glue into the hand of Beast.



Step 2: This is the tricky part. Try to split the end of the whip into 3 strips. I only went down a tiny bit. Don't worry about how bad it looks as you will cover it up. I have several pictures trying to show how I did it.






Step 3: Remove 3 nubs from Annihilus and glue them on the ends of the whip. Again don't worry too much on how it looks, just as long as they are there.











Step 3: Paint his forearms and head orange then inside his ears are white.



Step 4: Paint his sleeves and leggings a blue-green. His core body a blue. Then his hands, feet and face are painted yellow. Paint his whip black and give him black stripes. His eye brows and pupils are also black. Finally paint the tips of his whip red and give him a thundercats logo on his chest.

That's not bad. My first try was going to be Talon, but I hated how the base figure looked after I bought it. I have something on order right now for Lion-O and hopefully I have a mod done soon.

I was going to make 2 figures for Mumm-Ra. One for his Ever-living and one for his decayed mummy. The Ever-living I have something on order that I hope will work. But here is my decaying mummy version.

That’s from a Desaad, right? Looks very good!

And here is my Lion-O and Mumm-ra

Ooh that Drax Mumm-ra is really good.

Thanks. It really turned out good. I like the size of the figure too. It will probably be a large 6 or 7. Wiki says mumm-ra is about 9 feet tall, so it works perfect

Yeah these are nice!

Yeah, that was the only Thundercats action figure I had, but he made for a nicely imposing foe for He-Man.

Lion-O is from Puma aka Thomas Fireheart, right?

You know your Heroclix. It did need a head swap, and I used Aquaman for that, but really anyone with the right hair would probably work.

Thanks! What did you use for the snakes off Mumm-Ra's helmet? Is that wire? It looks great, BTW!
