This is a fairly simple repaint and removal of stickers. The original bike was green, however it is silver in the comic. I took the bike apart, scraped off the stickers and painted the body silver.

The bike features dual missle launchers and a pop up laser cannon in the front.

I am not huge fan of Wildcats but I am impressed you did a great job. Do you have a pic of the bike pre customizing?

Well I don't think of them as dolls. I think of them as action figures. I hate the coats they make for figure out of cloth or rubber. The cloth ones are always too small or too big and poorly sewn with loose thread everywhere. The rubber ones always chip if take them off an put them on repeatedly. Grifter's coat is my own work and I'm pleased with it. It allows for poses that wouldn't be possible with a rubber coat because it won't chip or break if bent too far.

yeh, don't get me wrong man. But I hate when action figures have real clothes like that dumb ripped shirt on hulk, and I think that gambit looks pretty lame too. this grifter is the only time I've actually liked "textile meets plastic". I think of them more as statues then dress up dolls. just my opinion.

"Perfect" and "Rubber Coat" can not be used in the same sentence
Oh and in case anyone notice or cared, Grifter's hair is this new color you see in the bike pictures. Before it was bright yellow, but I toned it done to a realistic shade.

I didn't actually use ball bearing magnets. I used regular steel bearings (about 3/4 I think). If ordered them on a website from a guy. My tutorial is in the tutorial section of the site.
And yes, that is quilty paper towel in the bg. I usually use blue shop paper towels, but I used them up. I need to get a colored poster board
