Possible Hercules custom?

Post by The Baron »

Saw this while Christmas shopping, I doubt it's scale compatible but could maybe be hollowed out? I've never seen a toy Herc so am very curious. Does anybody have anything from this range?

you could get away with a few alterations, but painting it red might be pushing it. Heard a few cases of people taking back 25th figures with beat up vintage versions stuck back in

Had these people escaped from Fife or even worse Aberdeen?
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

A 1/16 fat albert would probably fill a dining room table! It would be great to have one though.

Not wanting to abandon the project, this may be a compatible scale.

It's just the instrucitons though, and I know nothing about building from scratch...
