Hulk make a cool orc barbarian type, but might be a tad too big for a human.
Also, barbarians don't have to be huge. The Rogers body could work for a Beastmaster type, or even the Jason Mamoa(sp?) Conan.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree Hulk might be a bit too big(wide) for a human, but would be awesome for an orc or something. I have the WW Hulk, or whatever his name is and he can't even hold a sword double handed, so def not going to use him as my human(what good is a Conan wannabe if he can't hold his sword 2 handed like Conan).
I'll check out the other figs I have, I still have some comic pack figures and I remember some of those were pretty large and maybe I can swap around some WWE bicepts to make them a little bigger and beefier. I think I still have an old GTG/Trigate/Slayer/WhatEverIt'sCalledThisWeek Conan head, maybe I'll pop one of those on and see how it looks.

Ok... I was gonna flock him (still might) but Daremo reckoned I should stick with paints.
Minotaur
Minotaur
Thanks fellas. Hope he gets added to the first post 
If I flock him he'll lose all the detail. I just thought it would make him look less like Chewie and more of a novelty. But I dunno about you guys, I see less of Chewie each time I look at him.
Obi - shall I send him your way now?

HAH!...that is so awesome!...the head blends so perfectly...have you considered making hoofs out of his hands also?
I still see Chewie, but I'm a huge SW nut.. so that's prob why. Could you add to his back any to make it beefier, maybe more mane.. also any way to thicken up his skinny upper arms? Doesn't even have to be much, I've always hated Hasbros skinny Chewie arms. As is, I still think it looks cool.. but a bit skinny for a minotaur.
DH... pics added to 1st post. Send it whenever you're ready to, in the event you make another.
He may be a bit on the skinny side, but I think it works overall. I'd maybe paint some darker colors on him, but that's about it. Still, good as is.
Side note: Depending on how many customs are created, I may have to keep the pics to just 1 good shot in the 1st post. 15 pic max and all.

Cool - I didn't want to make him too big or I'd risk him not fitting in the corridors. Maybe he's a young Minotaur. I didn't want to paint him toom much either as it's more playable this way. He does have a mane on the back of his neck... I beefed that out a little.
I was gonna add armour and more bits, but then I make every figure like that and I wanted to stray from my norms.

Maybe we can turn this one into more of a discussion thread and create a new thread for Customs? We can chat about it more later but maybe start up a new thread and make 3-5 placeholder posts to save for peoples customs. Or later tonight when I'm not busy, I can look into moving posts around to accommodate this thread if you don't want to manage 2 threads.
I think if they get a completed game board and start up the convention that has been talked about, that's a real possibility.
I will handle with care, brutha. He has photo ops to get ready for you know?
Thanks again, Marcus!

Just stumbled on an old review of a toy that would make an awesome boss charcter - http://theredshadows.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=revs&action=display&thread=333&page=1#1355234645
Follow the link and there's a guy holding it in his hands...that should give a good sense of size
