custom dead space figure makes horror fun again

Real fans don’t buy action figures, whether or not they’re commercially available. Buying things is for wimps. No, the real fan breaks out the paint, dismembers currently-existing figures, and then the real fan makes their own action figures, like Chris Hooton did for the horror game Dead Space.

Dead Space borrows heavily from other material–most notably, science fiction classic Solaris–so it’s only fitting that Hooton’s custom figure borrowed heavily from another figure. That is, he recycled it from a Cyclops figure (from the Marvel Legends line).

You’ve got to love this little project for the attention to bloody-torsoed detail, if nothing else. Nothing says awesome quite like accuracy.
