I lost interest in the comics...what'd they do to him?...get frostbite and lose a limb?

I don't remember if it was frostbite, but it was both lower legs. He has 2 sets of artifical legs including the ones pictured for running. I was gonna mention it - but could not recall which character it happened too..

Does anyone remember who was casting that dress/skirt female torso? Kind of had a '60s vibe to it? I know I've seen it used for a custom on here.

I'm thinking it was. The site is gone, so I can't check. I 'spose I could PM Vortious and find out if it was among the molds he's purchasing.

He lost both legs, I'm not sure how, I always wanted to know. I was listening to a program about people who had leg injuries that prevented them from running, and made walking difficult so they had elective amputation because prosthesis technology has advanced so much. It was quite eye opening and I wondered if Iceberg had a similar story. If they were blown off, chances are it would come with deep PTSD so I don't know if he would still be on the team.

Quick check shows that in the Snake Eyes volumes of Cobra Civil War, a team of Alpine, Iceberg, Helix and Snake Eyes is in the mountains attacking a Cobra base. It's Alpine who gets injured there, though. Can't find anything on a quick review with Iceberg taking injuries.

If I was to design a Browning m1919, would people prefer the A4, which is the standard version people remember with the tripod, or the A6, which has a stock and a bipod and would work better for Roadblock and Kwinn?

A6. If I have to I can retrofit an A6 to A4. It's a lot more work to convert an A4 to an A6.

I've been clamoring for an A6 for a while. I say give us both. If you're trying to avoid getting picked off my Marauder then the A6 is probably the safer bet.

Makes me pine for a proper trench knife/trench knife-wielding hand sculpt.

It's unfortunate that the Renny SS hands have contorted fingers otherwise it would provide a great base without an alternate hand sculpt. I always shied away from that, as awesome as it would be because even I can't handle how fragile it would be. If I did make one, it would most certainly have to be molded from the print and have an accompanying set of hands as well.

I figured a removable one would be a bitt taxing to pull off, but I'd be happy with a set of hands with the knife molded in them.

I know Obi did one like that, sculpted the handle to a fist hand and added a blade.

never heard of cyborg Supes but he looks pretty badass!

He was a big player in the Return of Superman 20+ years ago, after they killed Supes off. He's been involved in a few other big storylines since then, but that's the one where most people are likely to have heard of him, since it sold so many copies.

Also - man, it's been more than 20 years since those issues came out? :headinsand:

I read up on that after I bought the Cyborg Superman Microman figure a few years back...sounds like a pretty kick-ass storyline. I still can't believe that a cyborg had powers rivaling Supes!

Some more painted commissions head casts... the first one is supposed to be Bruce Willis from "Tears of the Sun" but I couldn't find a reference pic of him with his camo face paint which the client wanted, so I just kinda winged it... the chick is Maria Hill from S.H.I.E.L.D.
