Customized Faker

 I've been a fan of the Masters of the Universe since the day that 8 year old me walked into the Mervyn's toy department and saw these massive figures on dark red blister cards literally towering over the Star Wars and GI Joe figures next to them.   I was enthralled by the art on the packages and the mixture of  fantasy and technology.   I had many of them as a child, in 2002 when the line was reborn I began collecting them again.

In that line there was one figure that have I always wanted but could never find at a good price. Toyfare Magazine had a mail away offer for Faker, the evil robot version of He-man which, in the secondary market still claims a ridiculously high price tag. So at Power-Con this year I found a open He-man figure and a Skeletor harness and decided to make my own! 

 I've painted figures before as a kid, but this was my first attempt to make a professional looking figure.  I think he turned out pretty well!
