Machine Man (Nextwave)

Here is 1 of 2 Nextwave customs I made for the 2025 Legendary Secret Santa. First up, Machine Man! Once I got my list, I immediately knew that I was going to do the 2 Nextwave figures on it (Machine Man and Boom Boom). While I have never ready Nextwave, I really like the aesthetic of the artwork from the book. When I made these, I tried to match their style to the lone Nextwave figure we already have. Machine Man was made using a Star Lord (Comic version) base body, the arms from a WWE suited body (shorten), a X-Men 97 Gambit Jacket and a VHS Morph head. Hand accessories came from all over the place (not gonna try to list them here, but they were fun to put together, especially the hand with all the weapons coming out of the finger tips). The extended legs are made of gooseneck wire conduit so it is slightly flexible. It swaps at the thigh and the boots come off without heat too. Im really happy with how he came together and as per usual, im bummed to see him go! Boom Boom is up next!
