Dr. X

Post by dsn1014 »

Evening

Dr. X
X-51 was the 51st Dr Mindbender clone, the last in a long series of failures, like all before him he was disposed of, but lazily, his body was dumped from a Cobra lab and left prone in a sewer in Spain. Here X-51 was recovered by the Red Shadows who helped him to grow strong in a lab in London, Developing weapons they could use to combat Action Force, From this lab he rebuilt himself replacing weak underdeveloped limbs with robotic appendages of his own design making him into some kind of machine man. As a copy of the original he is imperfect and this includes his mind. X-51 is a copy of one of the most twisted and brilliant minds on the planet leaving him somewhat unpredictable when driven past a certain point.
Once he didn't need the Shadows anymore he severed ties violently, donned the moniker Dr. X and moved onto act as a solo operative in Europe pursuing his own agenda. This has led him into conflict with his arch-nemesis Action Man.

Cheers folks.

Thanks folks, it was very quick job and the eye glass is on the wrong side, but I'm very pleased. Iron Man 3 Assemblers are on heavy clearance at Tesco right now, so have picked up q few to modify into X-bots.

Well done! And looks pretty similar to my 12" figure!

Thanks for the positive feedback fellas, he was very easy to put together, but I love him now, can't put him down, I expect I'll be messing about with him for some time. Oddly I was never a big Action Man fan, I never had any of the figures, but I love me a nutty villain.

I was trying as best as I could manage with what I had to match the character and his many iterations. Though if you're a purest you might be disappointed that the eye glass is on the wrong side.

Some of the bio is a bit of a nod to Marvel's Machine Man, as that's where my head was at the time of writing and it gives me a tie to the Red Shadows.

Here he is with a few of his X-Bots, not sure if I'll even bother modding them, I like them as they are.
