This idea began a few weeks ago, when I discovered the Spiderman "Lizard" toys at the dollar store. Others have posted about the Lizard, so I won't do so again. At that time, I commented on my blog that maybe you could use Spiderman to make a giant bodak or something. Well, turns out, I did just that. Here's a picture of the Spiderman toy. He's got kind of an action pose, maybe a little stiff, but intimidating, like the bodak -- Here's the bodak mini -- Originally, I was just going to paint it a metallic blue and call it a day. Then, I got a sample of epoxy putty in the mail. I decided to do a little modding. Here's the result -- I built up the head, face and jaw with putty. I also decided he needed "toes" on his feet to make him look a little more alien and to cut down on the "boot" look. I hit the front and back of him with my dremel to take the boot lines and the spiderman logos off. Here's a couple closeups -- They are a little blurry. Sorry. I'm not an expert sculptor and I don't really have any tools. I'm thinking that he'll look better painted. Lastly, here he is with the standard size bodak mini. I think my "giant bodak" is going to be a lot more intimidating.

Awesome! I just purchased that same Spiderman mini this week. I was intending to do something very similar. I have a couple Thor miniatures too that I'll be modifying.

Very cool. I think I may pick up some of these figs now. Might try to turn one into a Nightwalker.

So here he is finished. Included is the "Bodak Skulk" and a Pathfinder mini for scale. Here's a closeup. I think he turned out well.
