I also gave Traag the weather grenade he used in his first appearance - it's only about 5mm in diameter and painting it was a HUGE pain in the arse. The weapons are cobbled together from random guns with bits of styrene stuck on. Again, the belt is leather and his medal is styrene. This gives a much more effective rocky look than if I'd just sculpted it, as I'm not great at that kind of stuff. Then I went in with a variety of knives and carved the final shape. He's fully sculpted - I put a layer of putty down, roughly shaped it and let it cure. In a rare display of serendipity, the Darkseid parts fit into the Juggernaut torso & crotch perfectly, with no modding! I also built new elbow & wrist joints out of styrene to maximise the movement, as I was losing the bicep swivel & the original arms only had swivel wrists. I was playing around with them, thinking they'd be suitable since they're cast in the right colour, and the shoulders were huge - enough for me to sculpt Granitor's protrusions, and keep most of the articulation. The arms & legs are from a DCSH Darkseid. Today, NECA has announced that the Rock Soldiers from Dimension X, which are part of the TMNT Cartoon Series Wave 4 releases, will hit Target shelves in October. used for his awesome Granitor, but deviated quite a bit. Back in August, we shared news on the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon Series Traag and Granitor 2-Pack.At the time, there were a few pre-orders live for international fans. The body is a Spider-Man line Juggernaut - I was planning to use much the same recipe as Ray H. Granitor was a much bigger challenge - he's almost fully sculpted, for a start. Much of the stone texture I sculpted on the lower body was done with an engraving pen - a real timesaver, and easier than sculpting each individual stone! The belt is leather, and his chest emblem is styrene. The headsculpt was done from scratch, and the shoulders, crotch, hips and boots were all sculpted. Traag was made from a Marvel Legends Thing with movie Thing arms. As tricky as these 2 were to make, they were also a lot of fun - and I learnt a few new tricks!
