Doctor Gruber

[the enigma that is badger]

I picked up two of the new Agents sets on Monday, and the new bionic arm piece really inspired me. Here's a character I developed to suit it:

In the burnt wastelands of Scygia, the dark cult of Thule thrives. No individual better exemplifies the unholy melding of obscene magic and unspeakable science practiced by the Thule than Doctor Gruber, their chief research scientist. Experimenting on his own body, Gruber has freed himself from the grip of death at a price he considers a pittance, his humanity. Riddled with his biomechanoid "improvements", Gruber has systematically stripped his mind and body of any perceived weakness that might disrupt his work.

And how he enjoys his work, a quest to unify the flesh with steel in a perfectly balanced, immortal union. Always eager for new test subjects, Dr. Gruber has numerous tools to further his research . . . .

The "good" Doctor:

Ready to use his surgical instruments with uncanny precision:

Of course, some work demands a less delicate touch:

The Doctor will see you now . . . .

Another successful surgery!

Of course, new data always inspires future work. What other terrible experiments does Doctor Gruber have planned?

Another successful surgery!

Dark, yet somehow strangely hilarious.

Thanks!

Two new pics:

The application of heat can sooth away those aches and pains:

Of course, shock treatment is also an effective means of benefiting patient mental well-being:

Cool nice work.

Nice, I like it, especially that helmet with millitary hat, did you customize other pieces because I recognize the lower piece and upper piece, but the lower piece covers the entire minifig head, so no real way to put on the hat. Could I please ask for some hatless pics?

All the pieces I used are stock TLC pieces or BrickArms accessories (sliver Monopod for the hand and scalpel).

Here are the pics you requested:

It's the TLC fireman breathing apparatus. There's more than enough room for some minifig headgear. The cap itself fits very tightly.
