Description "You fear Death's Head, yes? You are prepared to be dealt with, yes?"

A fan suggestion come to creation, Death's head was made from an assortment of parts. His main body was that of the Wolverine Origins Collossus, Marvel Legends Hand Ninja forearms, Trigate Creations custom cast head, Serpentor's skirt, Spidey Animated Green Goblin's lower legs, Marvel Universe Hobgoblin Cape, GI Joe Montezuma's loincloth piece, and Deep Dive Iron Man 2 hip covers for his kneepads. Whew!

Death's jacket, shin panels, and various other parts were sculpted by hand using Apoxie sculpt. I was able to make the cape look tattered by using a leather hole-puncher with the multi-punch wheel of different sizes. All the weapons that store on his back can be plugged in to his right hand just like he uses them in the comic as well. Overall I'm psyched just to see this guy in action figure form! Death's Head is a majorly cool and majorly underused character. There be some bright colors on this character!

Sweet custom work, bro!

If Hasbro ever gets Marvel's approval and makes an actual Death's Head figure, there will be a great deal of rejoicing in the fandom!

Dunno why I didn't fave this the first time I saw it a couple years ago. I love original Death's Heads and quality customs of him. I just wish I could afford one for my shelf.

captured his image perfectly and I really love the weapons, amazing talent you have got there!
Always a pleasure to see death's Head fans because I can already tell from your comments, they're not that many of us on here, sadly. But fantastic work of art.

I've heard Death's Head before, but I never knew anything about him. Other than that the fact he looks kick ass. I didn't know even know he first appeared in the Marvel Transformers comics.

Nice job.

I have indeed heard of Death's Head (the avatar is probably a giveaway ) Always good to see the original mean 'n' green DH getting some love

Nice to know that a smaller Colossus figure is available too - I've been pondering an update of my own DH figure.

Man, I was wondering if that Colossus figure ever came out. I've yet to see it in any store. I guess with all the other peg-warming figures from that series, stores were hesitant to order more assortments.

He first appeared in the Marvel UK Transformers comics of the late 80s then left the Transformers universe, met the Doctor from Doctor Who and also encountered various Marvel Superheroes before he got killed/assimilated/ruined into Death's Head II. He's made a recent appearance in the short lived S.W.O.R.D. series by Marvel.

Thanks Carnivius, that I didn't know about, I was just saying that I heard of this guy back in the day and when I was working at the Big Apple Comic Con, I seen some issues of him and said, oh shoot, I remember that character but never bought some issues dam I should have.

Anyway thanks for the info.

Heh. Boy that was a large gap between my original comment and your comment to it just then. Death's Head here has since appeared in a UK Marvel publication fighting the Hulk. Which I missed out on like the fool I am.
