My first eBay listing for a custom action figure: Joe Fixit

Well, I've been on the fence long enough debating if my creations were worthy of sale on eBay - and now I break the ice with my first custom action figure auction: Joe Fixit Hulk! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220423156387 Here's the low down: Well, here's my finally finished (Joe) Fixit. I started this guy around the time I first embarked on the Bane fix, got all the sculpting and painting done, and the 'Hand Cannon' as I refer to the serious piece in his hand - was kinda my last stumbling block. I wanted him to have a cool gun like the HC one, and I decided to craft one rather than give up the one I have from the HC one. I managed to find some plastic things laying around the house that would work for the ammo drum, but they required some covering up of the centers. I mixed up some kneadatite and pressed the cap of the tube (coated lightly in oil for release ease,) into a small amount and whallah! - just what I needed. A piece from a old Spawn fig, a piece from an old Rambo weapon, and Bishops gun later the 'Hand Cannon' was finished. Head: FFF Grey Hulk Upper Torso: LCBH Marv Lower Half: LCBH Bodybag Rest - sculpted. The belt from the Marv coat became the faux belt onto the divoted 'front end' from Bodybag.
I think if I was to sell him, I may include the MS Punisher base....... I was thinking about wiring together a custom bar name for the replace neon thats missing from the MS punisher one - any suggestions? The head doesnt fit/stay on either - I got lazy near the end of fixing the slightly too big neck hole for the Marv peg. I just wanted to get this guy finished, so I said screw giving him a hat. His recent appearance in Hulk#7 he was hatless, soooooo...... Comment & Critiques always appreciated, Word'em Pearsonic
